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: Demyx Series: Kingdom Hearts Timeline: Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Day #153 Canon Resource Links:Demyx & Kingdom Hearts IIKHDays
Personality: At first glance, Demyx looks and behaves just like any ordinary person. He can laugh, whine, get angry, and of course cry and whine for someone to do the simplest of tasks for him. Just his appearance alone screams SLACKER, from his mullet that should've been left in the 80s down to how he slouches in chairs or on couches with his sitar. He's the guy who'd sooner face every illness in history than go do actual work (even if the chances of that ploy succeeding are none to slim) and if that failed, push said work on another Organization member ("Investigating suspicious spots is the first lesson in Recon 101! (Getting somebody else to do it for you is lesson number two.") or go play hooky. Hell, sometimes he'll even hide in a closet until he thinks it's safe to go back out! Really, he ought to care about his lack of a work ethic but the chances of that happening... Eugh, let's not think about that. Don't even think about sticking him with a job that requires physical work too, because he'll nope out of that before you can blink. He'll just be over there catching some Z's or huddle up in a corner with a few comic books.
His work ethic aside, he's a pretty decent guy at heart, even a little clueless at times. In the events when he befriends someone, it's pretty hard to tell if it's a genuine friendship or if it's for his own personal gain for one very important reason;
Being a decent guy at heart? That's mostly a lie. Why? Because he doesn't have one.
...Er, he has a physical one, but he lacks the ability to feel emotions no matter how hard he tries and no matter how often he pretends thanks to having it stolen who-knows-how-long-ago. In a sense he does have them, but they only exist as memories from his life as a human which at this point is shrouded in darkness. Because he (like other Nobodies) can fake how he feels, it's hard to get a bead on what kind of a person he really is, but he's rarely seen acting like a heartless person. No matter how many times his fellow Nobodies in the Organization tell him to stop clinging to his human memories and acting like he actually cares, he'll either laugh it off and claim that they really do have hearts, or he'll flat out ignore them. It isn't until Sora confronts him about it that he drops his "We do too have hearts" spiel and we see how cold he really is. Another instance is when it's revealed that the members who were sent to Castle Oblivion had been wiped out, he seems happy that Larxene was gone and again when it's revealed that Xion was a replica; "All this time, I've been talking to a puppet... Intense."
When it comes down to it, he only looks out for himself when the going gets tough. (What's that, buddy? You got in trouble with the cops? I'll be sure to visit you in jail!) To him, his existence matters more than anything else - if he ceased to exist, how would he ever get his heart, the one thing every Nobody longs for back? An instance of this is when Roxas was at Olympus Coliseum and he approached Roxas after he was done messing around in the Games. When Roxas asked why he didn't help out? "I was, uh...cheering you on! Couldn't you hear me?" Yeah, sure. If he's given the option of fight or flight, you can bet your bottom that he'll always choose flight. (Really, just get rid of the fight option all together. It'll always be Flight or Flight). However if he's forced to fight, it's best to not take him lightly. Hell, it's generally a good idea to not piss off the guy like Demyx to begin with - not only does he hide his true intentions, but when he controls water itself, well... It won't be pretty. As far as he's concerned it's always better to act weak and stupid rather than let on that he's got a pretty strong backbone and brains, otherwise he might have to do actual work.
At the same time, the whole... 'no hearts' thing has been revealed to be in the gray area in a sense; while Nobodies are lacking hearts, it's been confirmed that it's possibly for a Nobody to actually 'regrow' their hearts as time went on - something Xemnas had kept his mouth shut about. That just brings into question how many of Demyx's emotions and reactions are faked, which ones were actually real, and how far along he was in regaining his heart.

Victory Road Sample: This sample must take place in Victory Road's setting and can be EITHER a written post OR another thread if you would prefer not to write a post. The minimum is 300 words for a prose sample, eight sentences for a network post/actionspam sample, or ten comments total (five from you) in an RP sample. What we are looking for here is how the character responds to the Pokéworld's setting. You can also use a Victory Road test drive thread for this sample, but you cannot use the same thread for the first sample above.
[The Pokegear's video feed starts off with a bit of static, but then a few seconds later the beady eyes of a Lotad come into view. It stares into the camera for a long minute, and then it gives a curious burp. Is this a food? It's a food, isn't it? The Lotad continues to stare for a bit longer, gives the camera a lick, grimaces, and toddles away to show a figure in a black coat rooting around in his backpack with most of its contents strewn about.]
C'mon, where is it...
[The Lotad makes another burping-slash-chirp noise to get his attention - over here, doofus!]
Huh? Oh!
[JUST... give him a second to crawl over and grab that Pokegear and dust the screen off. Is it scratched? Nah, it's good! Phew!]
There it is! Thanks, dude. Now, let's see... [His brows furrow a bit, and after a few moments of thought he reaches up to knock his hood back so he can get a better, proper look at the pokegear.] That's that... This is... Ah! Wait, is this recording!? [Another chirping sound - yes, it is! It's been recording this whole time, dummy!] Okay! Uh... Hey, is there anyone out there? I dunno who's phone or whatever this is, but I got a few questions and I'll give it back, I swear.
[He stands up and ends up wobbling off balance for a second, causing the camera to flip around once or twice until he regains his balance. That almost ended badly!]
Whoa, okay-- Uh, anyway, first things first; where am I, and how do I go back? And what's with the walking lilypad? Don't get me wrong he's cute, but I dddddon't think I can have pets back at the castle. At least not without X-Face chewing me out...
