◣ Application ◢
Please note that as of July 28th, Vatheon will start working towards end game.
August 31st is the last day for applying. We will no longer open applications after that. Thank you for your consideration.
» Please make sure that you read the rules, and check the reserves before applying. People who do not read the rules will be rejected immediately.
» You are allowed to apply for two characters per application cycle. You may also reserve two characters. We will try to review each application as soon as possible. If longer than a week has passed and you have not heard back anything about your application, please drop us a message.
» Don't lie in your application. Don't copy / paste things from wiki. Keep what you post in your application strictly you. Sure, it's hard to add your own flair to writing history or a personality, but try to keep from summarizing too much. Show us your shine! Plagiarizing another player's application is ground for an immediate rejection.
» If someone has a reserve for a character, and you want to apply for them, you have the choice of either A) challenging the application with one of your own or B) waiting until the reserve expires and then applying/reserving as the character. If you challenge the original reserver, your application will not be reviewed until the original reserver has submitted theirs.
» Currently, the character limit is five characters. Any more is up to the mods, and must be discussed ahead of time with them. You may only apply for two characters from the same canon.
» Keep spamming to a minimum on the applications. Wait until that person is accepted into the game before holding out a conversation on a thread. Comment spamming here makes things cluttered, and a mod may accidentally miss something important. ( But feel free to comment-spam the Reserve page, if you'd like. )
» Please don't skip over any section of the application below.
» Please finish your application before posting. We reserve the right to decline any applications that are still unfinished when we process them.
» When reviewing applications, we take opinions of our members into consideration. If you would like to make a comment about an app that is being decided upon, do not hesitate. Here is where you can leave a comment with what you thought of another app. All comments will be screened for privacy, and the option to be anon will be left on. Do note, player opinions do not decide if an application is accepted or not, but will be taken into consideration.☆ Player - - -
( Player Name ) : A nickname will work. Whatever you would like to be listed as.
( Personal DW ) : Not your character's journal. Your own, just in case one of the mods ever needs to contact you that way.
( Age ) : No players under the age of 15, please!
( Timezone ) : Just for reference sake!
( Other Characters ) : At Vatheon, that is. Please list in the following format.
Character ( Character's Journal ) | Series☆ Character - - -
( Character's Name ) :
( Character's Age ) : There is no set age limit for the characters, and in fact, this is very flexible. So long as your character is mature enough to take care of him or herself and is mature enough for the game, they can be apped! As a basic guideline, think the maturity of someone around the age of 13 or so.
( Series ) :
( Canon Point ) : What part of the story of the series is your character coming in after? Did he or she just die? Did something traumatic just happen? Is it near the end, the beginning, or the middle? Tell us!
( Playability ) : If you are apping your second person for a particular canon, please give us a quick reasoning on why the characters would not be extensively interacting/how you are planning to avoid any playercest issues. If you are not apping from a canon you already play in, please disregard this section.
( History ) : You may provide us with a link to a wiki-page, or something else that will sufficiently give the Community and the mods background on your canon. If you wish to write out the history yourself, you still may do such.
( Personality ) : Probably the most important part of the application! Tell us what your character is like. We're looking for a well-developed analysis of the character. Perhaps between three to five paragraphs, roughly. Feel free to do more or less, however, if you think that better suits you. Most applications will be closer to the three than the five, and that's completely okay!
Just make sure to hit on crucial aspects of that character. What does he or she like? What does he or she hate? What are his or her motives? What parts of your character's past influenced how they are? Does your character act differently in front of different groups of people? Think of these questions as you write. Feel free to go off the page and focus on other questions. The above questions were just to get you thinking.
( Strengths/Weaknesses ) : So tell us! What can your character do well? What is your character weak against? Any cool spells? Good at picking locks? Anything you can think of, put it here.
( Other Important Facts ) : Have something else important to mention about your character that doesn't really fit in anywhere else? Be sure to include it here!
( Sample ) : This can be in first person or third person. There's no limit to your sample post. Just be sure to include your character's voice. Don't just write your character walking around! Be sure to include thoughts, quirks, and anything else that shows us you know your character. How would he or she react to the mark? How would he or she react to waking up some place new? Is he or she still brooding over something? The sample does not have to be set in Vatheon. You may also link to other roleplay threads; just be sure to give us something that shows how you plan to play them and clearly shows their voice! Or feel free to do a few of the above. Whatever you think will best show your characterization.
Please note! If you are linking samples, please make sure that at least one sample is from within the last three months. You are still free to link other samples that are older in addition, if you feel these would help show your ability to play the character, but at least one sample needs to be recent. Thank you.
If you are unable to think of a good starting point for a sample, we collected some prompts of situations that are pretty likely to happen within Vatheon to start you off. You are very welcome to deviate from these prompts or come up with something completely new. This is just something to hopefully help you get started:☆ A new curse has settled upon the city of Vatheon: Suddenly you character realizes they are unable to lie for the duration of a week. How do they react?
☆ What is this? Is that rain? How nice-- wait a minute, is it raining rubber duckies? Seriously?
☆ Suddenly, by the force of Vatheon, an over zealous npc, or even your character's friends playing a joke, your character suddenly finds themselves wearing clothes they otherwise would never wear. What do?
☆ The city of Vatheon is under attack (again). Giant sea-creatures are wrecking the city (again). Time to prepare for battle.
☆ A new plot development has happened and your character has decided to get some more information from one of the NPCs. How do they proceed?

(As the article does not cover much beyond the beginning of the Impure King arc, I will be filling in the remainder)
After arriving in Kyoto, Izumo and the others settled into helping out at the inn owned by Bon's family. As events progressed here, Izumo did not become involved in the action until the demon known as the Impure King was unsealed, upon which she and the other Exwires were drafted by Shura to break Rin out of a prison he'd been sealed inside. Izumo was ultimately paralyzed by the effects of the prison, but Shiemi was able to ultimately free Rin.
Later, during the battle against the Impure King, Izumo and Shiemi were forced to act together, only to be trapped by the demon's power of decay. Ultimately, Izumo's life was saved by Shiemi, causing Izumo to feel conflicted about their growing friendship and the fact that she felt she owed Shiemi for saving her life. Ultimately, the Impure King was defeated by Rin. In their final day in Kyoto, Izumo and the other students spent their day looking at the sights and spending time together, culminating in them taking a picture together... with Izumo and several of the others spelling out "S-A-T-A-N"; partly to mock Rin, and partly to show they'd accepted his demonic nature.
After a brief detour involving a demonic kraken, and of course, summer break, Izumo returned to True Cross Academy. There, she and her class were given a new assignment: to exorcise several demonic related goings-on occuring all over the school. In particular, Izumo and Shiemi were tasked with exorcising a demon that had manifested in a girls' bathroom, which turned to have absorbed the petty emotions of multiple girls across the school. Izumo had a chance to repay the debt she owed Shiemi when the demon captured her, but emotionally confided in Shiemi with the fact that Izumo really should have been thanking her instead.
( Personality ) : Izumo is a textbook example of a tsudere. Personality section over.
Ha ha. Okay, seriously.
Izumo is the kind of person who seems haughty and prideful at first, but is actually deeply insecure underneath it all. She was once known to lord her talents over others and belittle them, and even take advantage of their kindness, as shown when she first got to know Shiemi. However, when Paku called her out on her behavior, and she found herself helpless before Nehaus's summoned demon due to her inability to make Mike and Uke listen to her, she broke down.
Izumo has come a bit farther since then, but she hasn't fully lost her proud behavior or her insecurity. It took a great deal for her to so much as thank Shiemi, let alone admit she was her friend. Nevertheless, there are times when she has shown herself willing to help people when they are down, such as when she offered Rin helpful advice after the revelation that he was Satan's son. However, when she does this, she usually masks it behind a great deal of standoffishness and hiding of the fact that she actually cares.
Of course, Izumo is very competitive, and this makes her combative. Despite the friendship forged between the cram school students, Izumo and Bon remain "sworn enemies." She is eager to prove herself as an exorcist, and in the end, when her pride isn't causing her to make mistakes, she can be very resourceful. Still, her tendency to make mistakes based on her arrogance limits her, and in such situations she struggles to save face. All in all, she's more well rounded than not, with some serious flaws she has to overcome.
The truly "dere" side of Izumo, where she can be warm and caring and not hide it is seen very rarely, and that's with people she cares about deeply, like her friend Paku. Of course, this brings us to why she tends to be so abrasive in the first place. Namely, Izumo has trouble trusting people, as she was ostracized by her peers when she was younger. There are also some other traumatic elements of her past that hint at why she is the way she is, but the manga has not clarified those events fully; all we known is that it was something involving her family.
It's not to say Izumo is always stuck up, insecure, or abrasive. As shown in an extra chapter, she has a love of certain kinds of music, and was perfectly willing to relax and have fun at Shima's brother's concert. It's safe to say her interests are similar to other teenagers her age, and that she can have fun just as easily as she can focus on her studies. And once you get to know her, she's not so bad. She also has a love of cute animals, which she really, really tries to hide.
Still more tsun than dere, though. A lot more.
( Strengths/Weaknesses ) :
Izumo is relatively skilled as far as people from her world go, and being from a long line of shrine maidens, she's relatively good at summoning and commanding familiars (when she's not making mistakes based on her arrogance, anyway). However, as summoning is not possible in Vatheon, this will amount to a hill of beans. In general, Izumo is a relatively ordinary human girl, and won't be able to use most of her exorcist-based skills in the game.
