◣ 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?
( Questions? Comments? Concerns? ) : Tell us here!
GETTING STARTED: premise ☆ rules ☆ taken ☆ reserves ☆ applications
GAME INFO: faq ☆ the city ☆ the island ☆ nostalgia nook ☆ welcome brochure ☆ information database
OOC INFO: mod contact ☆ player contact ☆ dropping ☆ hiatus ☆ residency

Chie Satonaka | Persona 4 | Not Reserved
☆ Player - - -
( Player Name ) : Leafy
( Personal DW ) :
( Age ) : 24
( Timezone ) : EST
( Other Characters ) : N/A
☆ Character - - -
( Character's Name ) : Chie Satonaka
( Character's Age ) : 16
( Series ) : Name Persona 4
( Canon Point ) : Post true ending (social link maxed)
( Playability ) : N/A
( History ) : Here
( Personality ) :
Chie's a spunky, perky, sporty kind of gal; the kind of girl you definitely want to have on your side. And with her strong sense of loyalty, once you've gotten her on your side, you have a steadfast ally who will have your back in all kinds of situations. On the other hand, if you piss her off, you'll want to run, because she doesn't take things lying down. (Even if you are someone she's loyal to, that doesn't mean you get a free pass if you screw up yourself-- just ask Yosuke.)
Chie has a strong sense of justice and a desire to defend it. She hates bullies, and will often stand up for her classmates-- even ones she may not know well-- if they're being threatened by something they can't handle. She hates the idea of unfairness, and will do her darndest to see that it doesn't happen under her watch. (Of course, if Souji has to remind her of the answer when the teacher asks her a question in class, that's just being a helpful friend. Honest!)
Chie is a very friendly and sociable person, for example, volunteering to have the new kid in class sit next to her, and then offering to show him around town after school is over. She seems to be on good terms with most of her classmates, even if she isn't particularly close to them-- she'll smile and wave and say hello, in any case. She loves sports and phyiscal activities, things that get her outside and get her blood pumping. Rainy days are pure misery (which is unfortunate in a town like Inaba).
Although she presents herself as fairly confident and self-assured, Chie does have her insecurities as well. She's well aware that her best friend Yukiko is more popular among the student body (especially with the boys), and it occasionally makes her feel as though she doesn't measure up. She gets frustrated at not being as school-smart as Yukiko and some of the other Investigation Team members, or feels like she's slowing them down with her dumb ideas. Even so, she's quick to cheer up with a jog by the river or a nice bowl full of steak.
( Strengths/Weaknesses ) : Chie's main strengths are her pumped-up kicks! With her legs of steel she can galactic punt enemies into the stratosphere! Physical situations in general are where Chie really shines, whether it's taking down enemy shadows in the TV world or perfecting her kung fu moves by the riverside. If you need help moving some boxes or opening a pickle jar, Chie's your go-to girl.
Additionally, Chie's got a pretty good knack for figuring out what's going on in a situation, even if she doesn't always mean to. A lot of the time, her crazy conjectures end up hitting pretty close to the eventual truth. In fact, she's a lot more intuitive than she realizes-- most of the time she'll dismiss her own gut instincts, insisting that the others are probably smarter and cleverer than she is.
On that point, Chie's not very book smart. She pulls okay grades in school, partially with the help of Yukiko, but memorizing facts and writing essays are not her strong suit. When it comes to the Investigation Team, she can sometimes fall behind a bit when the others are making connections and solving clues. However, she's well aware that she's more the brawn of the operation than the brains, and she'll gladly step aside so she can focus on helping where she's most needed.
Also, she's a terrible cook.
