We ask that potential applicants post their application in comments rather than linking. If their application contains explicit references to 'hard' spoilers (character death, unforeseen plot twists, big reveals, he was evil all along etc), players should put the application in their own journal or their character's journal and link it, making sure to mention the presence of spoilers within. For further clarification on our spoilers policy and whether or not your application needs to be linked, please check this page. Thank you for your cooperation!
The comment character limit on Dreamwidth is 16,000 characters so apps no longer need to be split into multiple comments; however this is at players' discretion.
While players are welcome to play multiple characters (five characters maximum are allowed per player!), please only apply for one character at a time, and wait for a decision before submitting another application!
A reminder for those waiting to hear back: Please don't be worried if we skip yours while going through them. It only means we needed a little more time to research!
Please use the form below to apply! If you have any questions, feel free to ask any of the mods.
Helpful links!
Taken / Reserves Please do not app a character from either of these unless you reserved them!

Character Name: Britt Reid Series: The Green Hornet (Film) Timeline: His canonpoint is at the end of the movie. Canon Resource Links:Movie Info
Britt Reid is the son of the owner of a newspaper. Recently, that man died, leaving Britt in charge of the newspaper, something he doesn’t want to do, but he gives it a try anyway...not very effectively, because he’s not used to having to work. One night, he and his family’s mechanic ruin a man’s attempt to rob, and the excitement they felt while doing that leads to them turning into vigilantes – and because it’s not like they have anything better to do. He chooses the name ‘the Green Hornet’ and makes himself look like another criminal.
During the film, he gets himself into trouble with the city’s criminal kingpin, since he fought many of his underlings. He survives all the fights and problems, mostly because of his sidekick’s many talents. When his actions lead to seven innocent people getting killed simply because they were wearing green, Britt starts taking vigilantism more seriously, and starts improving as a person.
Near the end, he finds closure about his strained relationship with his father, seeing the better traits that man had, and kills the person responsible for his father’s death. His sidekick and him continue their activities, end credits.
Personality: Britt Reid is not a good person. Sure, he’s on the side of, uh, good, but he’s not a good person. The main motivation for him to be a vigilante is because of the excitement he felt at first, coupled with the feeling he is bored. During the movie such motivation doesn’t change much.
Britt is rather selfish, seems to look down on everyone, and doesn’t care much about other people’s feelings. He’s not willing to share credit – at first – and refuses to take responsibility for his own acts. He’s even aware he can drive people away with his actions, but he doesn’t care too much about that, even if it’s a person he needs to rely on, like his sidekick. Britt's selfishness is displayed mostly because with his actions and words he shows to be rather self-centered. He mistakenly believes the world revolves around him, so to say, and when something doesn't go the way he wants, he's willing to discard it as if it never happened. He hired an assistant with the only purpose to give him ideas on what to do as the Green Hornet, but during his disagreement with Kato he fires said assistant despite everything she had done for him -- unwittingly, since she didn't know his vigilante role. He also pushes most of the work in the newspaper onto his subordinates, partly because he has absolutely no idea what to do, and partly because he doesn't even want to know what to do.
Another prominent moment shows quite well how useless Britt can be when he isn't taking things as seriously as he should. After the narrowly averted deaths they almost suffered at the hands of Chudnovsky's mob, Britt and his sidekick Kato return to Britt's mansion. Britt blames Kato for the failure of the meeting, even though Kato had warned him it was better not to go. He kept accusing Kato of trying to overshadow him, that he was doing nothing useful, when Kato was the one who had done most of the work because Britt was useless and his only suggestion had been to put ejector seats in their car. This led to Britt and Kato having a rather intense fight around the house, hitting each other with everything they could reach and both resisting a lot of punishment.
He’s not entirely stupid, though. He can have a few sparks of brilliance, such as when he decided to make the Green Hornet be known as a villain instead of a superhero, so he doesn’t get targeted by criminals. He can manipulate people into doing what he wants them to do. Given some time, he even can do deductions and get to accurate conclusions, even though...it’d take him a while.
His morality is...uh, not very good. As a vigilante who aims to fight criminals, he and his sidekick are aware hurting and even killing criminals can happen, and they’re not particularly concerned about the legality of such act – although they only do that when they’re attacked, so it’s more like self-defense. He’s personally responsible for the death of at least one person. He doesn’t want to get caught by the police, but at the same time he wants a bit of recognition for what he does.
All in all, Britt Reid is a very flawed person, yet ultimately he’s on the side of, uh, the law? Even though he breaks said law a lot.

Victory Road Sample: [Britt Reid isn't the brightest guy ever, but even he can see there's something off about his newly evolved Pokemon. Or perhaps that's not the right word? It's more of a petty complaint, all things considered.
He's standing outside a Pokemart and, when someone he thinks would give him some of their time approaches, he gets their attention, waving his hands around]
You, come here for a sec and take a good look at him.
[He points with a finger at the Beedrill flying in circles around. He evolved not too long ago and is getting used to the wings, and seeing how his trainer was busy freaking out about minor details...he planned to be up there for a while]
What bug is this?
[No matter what answer he receives, it's unlikely he'll be satisfied. With a huff, Britt points again at his Beedrill, sounding rather exasperated]
That's not a bee! What kind of bee has these...drill thingies? Besides, it doesn't look like a bee at all. He's more like a wasp.
[Someone sensible would point out it's supposed to be called Beedrill]
That's bullshit. Whoever named those had never seen a bee ever before. This should be, I dunno, Hornetdrill. Or Waspdrill. Anything that isn't a bee. This is stupid.
[Indeed, Britt, it's stupid, but not for the reasons you're thinking]
At least it’s badass. Nobody in their right mind would dare attack a wasp larger than their heads, and if anyone tries we’re gonna kick their ass. You wanna battle? I want to see what he can do now. Come on, just one fight. I’ll even pay you if you win.
[It’s defeatist, but he knows he’s not invincible. There’s a chance they’re going to lose, even though his Pokemon is much stronger now. The point is to see Beedrill’s new skills, he’s willing to accept a loss if he needs to]
