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!

Character Name: Hanna Falk Cross Series: Hanna is Not a Boy’s Name Timeline: Page 151, end of available canon Canon Resource Links: Hanna Cross wiki page
Personality: Beyond a shadow of a doubt, Hanna is filled with overwhelming energy. Whether or not he takes everything in leaping bounds rather than a stride for no reason or to hide the fact that everything isn’t perfect, it isn’t exactly clear, but depending on the position of the moon it’s probably one or the other. He tends to exhaust most of his company, forced or otherwise because of this energy, and it’s hard to keep up with him when he’s excited. The endless flurry of words he spits out at you kind of...blurs together and at times it’s impossible to get a word in. Either that or he’s just ignoring you Conrad. Though despite his enthusiasm he doesn’t seem to have many friends. Some people have stated so far as “needing a restraining order” against him, or have asked if he’s bothering customers when all he’s done is simply walked in to gather information. It is perfectly plausible that these instances have had just cause, like the bar he met Conrad at being the same he might have had his first kiss in, drunkenly, to a man he mistook for a girl with a boyish haircut, but that’s never actually confirmed.
Moving on, Hanna is pretty good at keeping upbeat, though there are times where that falters. He has abandonment issues, and those show pretty fast when he gets attached. While he is perfectly content to hide them, he does worry about all the things he isn’t, and what he believes he should be. Friends obviously deserve much more than he is, and due to the lack of friends, and the falling out he apparently had with people after high school, they have no real reasons to stick around, right? He mentions this to his Zombie friend, asking him why he’s still there even though he’s clearly capable all on his lonesome, but when asked if he’s ‘alright’ Hanna feigns a little frustration, manages a smile and completely brushes it all off. The change in atmosphere is almost jarring, in that it obviously makes him uncomfortable, and any sort of validation of those feelings of doubt will be brushed off just the same. Because it clearly doesn’t matter, life goes on. Except it really doesn’t.
As previously mentioned, Hanna talks a lot, and it’s probably because he doesn’t get the chance to because who does he have around to listen? He actually is intelligent though, and knows his way around the paranormal world despite the long list of huge fuck ups. The fact that he is able to use runes at all is a testament to that because in using them you have to understand the magic which has been said to take more than a little bit of research. Being clever with the wide array of uses, Hanna sometimes uses them as payment with his doctor, perhaps a little look into his morality in that he doesn’t mind paying his doctor in pseudodrugs, even though he doesn’t approve of giving Veser, who is underaged, alcohol. He’s stated before outside of comic in official Q&A’s that his whole reason for becoming a paranormal investigator is so that he can help people out, so they don’t have to go through what he did, and because of that I think he’s a little more sensitive around kids, letting them enjoy their youth a little longer than he was able to.
On that same train of thought, Hanna is pretty selfless when he’s working. His own safety takes the backseat if it is at all threatened, and his friends and others become first priority. In this, even the disturbers in his cases get at first treated far better than he would have himself, choosing to negotiate before resorting to threats or violence, even if it usually doesn’t work out the way he wants it to. And, while Hanna’s offense is a little more slow than most, in that he has to draw first before attacking with any real power, he can still pack quite a punch if he needs to. Hanna’s temper doesn’t make much of an appearance unless forced into these situations, and any threats, verbal or otherwise, are sure fire ways to get him ready to knock your block off.
If he had his way, everyone would be treated equally, and while he can get mad, his anger is quick to cool. Given serious situations, he can actually drop most of his act and get right into the zone, being far more helpful than he usually is, and his competence really shows. But it’s sadly not a habit he usually gets into and the awkward, talkative nerd generally eats all that away.

Samples RP Sample: Hanna likes to think of names. It's a sort of game he plays with a friend back home, finding one that fits the bill, though that one he hasn't finished up yet. But, he knows that he can't be playing at this one forever, because the big eyes that stare up at him while he's sitting on a log along the side of the road deserve a good one before they go along their merry way.
"Do you know how hard it is to come up with silly puns for a name like Noibat?" He asks the little creature sitting in his lap, fluffing between the thing's ears and it squeaks up at him in response, like this wasn't a real problem he had to solve. He wasn't good with feminine names, had been playing the game more on the masculine side due to the very manly figure his friend struck. And he's sure that Brutus would not fit his new friend no matter how hard he tried to make it work.
This was serious, it wasn't a joke, and so he leaned over, grabbed a stick and started writing stuff out in the dirt in front of him. "N. Na. Naaaatalie." He looks at the bat, it looks back and shakes it's little head. He erases the marks with his shoe and starts again.
"I could call you Adelaide but that's...no. Nope. She's a bitch. I'm calling never, even if she's a purple bat and so are you." He fluffs her head again, playing with those big ears before he pauses, massaging the sensitive tips.
"Hmmm. Let's think of some cooler ladies. Like, the ones that make sure everyone knows their name. Take no shit." He stares at the bat a moment, rattling off a few names mentally before he tries, "Beyonce!" And then stares at the bat and well?
"Okay, scratch that too. Let's see...Agatha Christie ...no, Marie Curie, nope. Julie Andrews..."
His Noibat just seemed to stare at him, unimpressed and flapped it's wings. It took off then, flying off into the tree far above Hanna's reach, almost as if it were pouting. "Come on! This is hard, don't be like that!"
He just wanted the best for his flying bat friend. And then. then it hit him. "AHA!" He stands, so proud of himself and his brain storming that geez, someone should give him a medal or something.
"Amelia. Amelia Earhart." The Pokemon looks up, interested and flutters down, settling on his shoulder and chirping it's little "Noi-Noi".
