◣ 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?

( Playability ) : N/A
( History ) :
a full outline of Soul's OU history is here @ Soul Eater wiki
( Personality ) :
On a first meeting, Soul seems laid back, almost apathetic and aloof. He's constantly in a slouch with a drooping look on his face, hands in his pockets. This is his definition of the 'cool guy' he's trying to be. In many ways, he's the complete opposite of Maka; a total slacker when it comes to schoolwork but more than eager to get into a fight with someone who's been devouring souls for their own greed, especially if it means a soul for himself. Yum. This separates him from other Weapons - most Weapons don't like the taste of souls, yet Soul drools over the idea of chowing down on one.
Immature, headstrong and stubborn seem to be the right words to describe Soul, however one of the things he's gained from years of trying to be 'cool' is that he's positively the most loyal person you could ever meet. He considers breaking promises uncool, and would do anything to protect his friends and Meister. Despite appearing to be apathetic, Soul is capable of being determined and gets people back on their feet in desperate times with the right words.
One of the things he keeps to himself is that he's quite vulnerable to low self esteem, first with his brother Wes and then with other Weapons like Justin. He's reluctant to share these problems with others, coming off as cold when inquired about it, and shares Crona's fear of bonding with people.
After Asura is revived, he becomes aware that he needs to get stronger in order to fight off the madness that was released into the world upon Asura's rebirth, and his headstrong personality is replaced by a more level-headed one. He has the ability to keep a cool mind in dire situations, and also possesses deep thought and shows a more understanding sense of judgment when it comes to others.
Despite being a Weapon, he's also human. He has an appreciation for jazz music and Gothic architecture, plays basketball during wind-down times and sometimes has a dark and sarcastic sense of humor.
( Strengths/Weaknesses ) :
Weaknesses:
→ like any other hotblooded teenager, Soul is easily distracted with boobs. Specifically, Blair's boobs. He spent his entire introductory episode getting nosebleeds when they were sent to take care of her as their Witch's soul and even after she becomes friends with them, she uses it to her advantage when she wants attention (such as in The Super Written Exam episode).
→ he can't fight without Maka. Sad as it is to say, Soul isn't very combat efficient on his own, even after becoming a Death Scythe. He's able to hold his own against Giriko in the Book of Eibon, but he does get beaten up pretty badly before Maka pulls herself out of her slump and joins him.
→ he's lazy, nor does he prioritize things. Maka does most of the thinking on this team.
→ his stubborn attitude is bound to get him into trouble more often than not.
→ he's cagey. He doesn't give off any information about his past or anything that he's feeling which leads intooooo
→ insecurity. Sometimes he feels like he's not good enough to be Maka's partner, but he doesn't let this on.
Strengths:
→ brave. Hoo boy, Soul has bravery in bucketloads. He's pretty much your textbook Gryffindor. He's courageous and reckless to a fault, and also more likely to run headlong into danger without thinking things through.
→ he's level headed. Soul is able to keep his cool in a fight without letting his anger get the better of him and calms Maka down when she gets annoyed
→ Soul's loyalty knows no bounds. Once you have his loyalty, you've pretty much got a friend for life, and he's friendly once you're his friend
( Other Important Facts ) :
As a Weapon, Soul has the ability to transform into a human-sized scythe, and even partially transform his arm from the shoulder down into a blade. Despite the ability to transform into a scythe on his own and perform partial transformation, Soul is greatly hindered by the absence of his Meister Maka Albarn. Soul can also take advantage of Maka's Soul Perception through their Resonance, able to sense other people's Souls as well as she can, as well as her Anti-Demon Wavelength. Like all Weapons, though he's usually seen in the form of a scythe he has the ability to change his shape - called Form Manipulation - but the extent of this change has not been shown yet apart from manipulating the length of his blade.
Black Blood, however, is an ability that he gained after being infected by Crona. Black Blood allows him - through a room in his mind inhabited by a little demon the Black Blood implanted - to invade the blood stream of those he performs Soul Resonance with. Black Blood usually comes with an intense insanity, but Soul is able to overcome that insanity and drive the madness away. With this, Soul also has the ability to create Resonance links with anyone despite the difference in their wavelengths.
At the current point in the manga, Soul is a Death Scythe, having achieved the goal of obtaining 99 corrupt human souls (Kishin) and one witch's soul. This means he's (one of) Shinigami-sama's personal weapon(s), though he's still partnered with Maka.
