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.

Character Name: Marceline (the Vampire Queen) Series: Adventure Time Timeline: Mid season 7, after the events of "Marceline the Vampire Queen" Canon Resource Links:Marceline's wiki page
Personality:
"I'm not mean. I'm a thousand years old, and I just lost track of my moral code."
To strangers, Marceline comes off as the cool, goth vampire girl. She loves to troll and play pranks, but she's not really mean-spirited. While she did kick Finn and Jake out of their treehouse and then followed up with an attempt to kick them out of the replacement cave they'd found, in the end she backed off and let the brothers go back to their home. Later, she tricked Finn into becoming her henchman and trolled the heck out of him by making him do her bidding. She'd always set up what she wanted as something truly horrible that went completely against his hero's code, but was in reality always something pretty benign or even beneficial to the people it involved. Once Finn figured this out, she fired him as her henchman because she couldn't troll him anymore, but they stayed friends.
To friends Marceline is warm and reliable, tough and loyal. She will not stand by while someone she cares about is being bullied or is in danger. She was on board for some light-hearted pranking of Finn and Jake when some old ghost buddies came into town to visit, but as soon as her ghost pals started actively trying to kill the brothers, she was capital-D Done with their bullshit, and got Finn and Jake the heck out of there.
She has a vulnerable side that only comes out while she's singing. Marceline writes and performs music to express the feelings she can't normally otherwise. She wrote The Fry Song about her dad. She wants to have a good relationship with him, and she wants him to love her, but she's not sure he does. As a deathless demon lord, her father does not need to eat in order to live. At the time he thoughtlessly ate her fries, Marceline was still only half-mortal, half-demon, and she did need to eat to live. Because he took something from her that she literally needed to survive, she questioned whether he really actually cared for her, and concluded that he didn't.
When Princess Bubblegum felt that she had to choose between her responsibilities as the ruler of the Candy Kingdom and her friendship with Marceline, and chose her Kingdom, Marceline felt betrayed. It's not entirely clear what happened between the two, but it's likely PB was unable to reconcile her adult responsibilities with Marceline's juvenile and carefree personality, and broke things off with her friend in order to focus on being the ruler of the Candy Kingdom. In her song "I'm Just Your Problem", Marceline expresses both her hurt over Bubblegum's behavior and communicates that she doesn't even really know what she did to cause her friend to push her away. This hints at the level of perpetual immaturity that Marceline eventually wishes to eliminate. In order to do that and to finally "grow up", she believes she needs to be cured of her vampirism, which she contracted when she was about 17.
With Princess Bubblegum's help, Marceline is able to cure her vampirism and become half human, half demon again, but the runoff from the curing process unleashed a whole host of problems for the land of Ooo. Namely, all the vampire souls Marceline had consumed in her youth. At first she tried to push her friends away and clean up her mess by herself, but after being backed into a corner at one point early on in the round-up process, she relented and accepted the assistance of her friends. At the end of it all, when things looked their worst and it felt pointless to continue fighting, she had a heart-to-heart with Simon, aka the Ice King, and that gave her the push she needed to shake off despair and fight until the end.
The combined experience of being unable to fix a problem on her own and of needing to rely on her friends - even though she was worried about them and didn't want to see them get hurt - was what eventually helped her feel like she had grown up.
Marceline is sentimental, though, again, she doesn't express this much. Simon was her first and strongest friend - he took care of her and protected her when she was just a child after the end of the world. Even though he was driven mad by the magical crown he used to keep them both safe, Marceline never forgot him and never lost her desire to protect him. Simon was the reason she started hunting vampires in the first place. Even though he had left her and was gone, she still felt like she was protecting him when she protected other humans. Simon gave her Hambo, a plush toy, when they first met, and for this reason Hambo was immensely precious to her. She was beyond upset when a guy she dated briefly sold Hambo to the Sky Witch. She eventually had a great adventure with Bubblegum to get Hambo back, though she never found out how, exactly, PB managed to get Hambo for her.
After going through all that trouble, though, she was eventually asked to give Hambo up forever, in order to help Simon. When he temporarily regained his sanity due to the complete removal of magic from the crown, he needed Hambo as a catalyst to bridge the future and the past so that he could apologize to his ex-fiancee, Betty. Marceline didn't even have to think about it - helping Simon was more important to her than keeping her toy.
At the end of the day, though, Marceline is still just a radical dame that likes to play games. She's chill and personable when everyone is getting along well, but the kid gloves come off quickly when stuff starts to go down. She may stop and consider the consequences of her actions now more often than she did at the start of the series, but even that's not going to stop her from having a good time.

Oh snap, and it broadcasts! Sweet!
Hey! Barkeep guy! You were right, that Mom lady was really weird! She gave me a lot of snacks, though, so that's cool.
But, uh, I kind of. Already ate them all? Look, I got carried away, okay? Does anyone know if there's anything else to eat on, what is it, Route 29? Besides the berries, I mean. My girl here - [she gestures to her new Noibat pal] - really digs them buuuuuut I still think they seem kinda suspect. For me to eat, that is. Thanks, peeps!
