◣ 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?

Rin Tohsaka | Fate/Zero
☆ Player - - -

☆ Character - - -
( Character's Name ) : Rin Tohsaka
( Character's Age ) : 6
( Series ) : Fate/Zero
( Canon Point ) : towards the end of Episode 10
( Playability ) : n/a
( History ) : TYPEMOON wiki article
( Personality ) :
Rin Tohsaka is something of a precocious child. At her young age, she desires to be the best possible heir to her family's legacy and puts forth an entirely ridiculous amount of effort into her attempts--sneaking off to study late into the night and attempting to use magic texts far beyond her skill. She gets into things she really shouldn't out of a desire to improve her skills and to impress her father. Her father is someone that she's grown up viewing as a man she can't fail no matter what. Though he was often distant out of necessity, but she always adored him regardless. Her family is always in the forefront of her mind, and the danger of losing any of them is very real to her. She was deeply hurt by the fact that her sister was given to be raised by the Matou family due to a custom in which a powerful magical family cannot have two heirs, but ultimately prefers not to speak of it at all.
She is an outgoing child with some interesting ideas about the world, most of them born from her unusual upbringing. The modern world is one that she is not entirely connected to, though she goes to school like any other child. This is because magi tend to operate in a different way from normal people, using magic versus technology to accomplish similar goals. More than that, she's gone so far to take it upon herself to search when a close friend was kidnapped and even ultimately took on the kidnapper at great risk to herself even if the whole incident was utterly terrifying to her. When faced with danger, she was able to find the bravery and resourcefulness to get by in the face of an absolutely horrifying situation. When the danger is done with, however, she reacts just like any other young child-- tears.
She isn't afraid to speak her mind, no matter what the topic might be. When a dear family friend comes to visit, her first outburst is regarding if he'd gotten a gift for her. Even so, her charm is something that helps her get by when her less attractive traits pop up. In school, she defends other girls from bullies, telling them that they should bully her so she can make it her business. She's popular both because of her high-class family and because she's known as a clever student that is extremely helpful to her peers. In class, she gets mobbed by her peers and happily helps them, though she's not above passing notes and slacking off a little for fun's sake.
( Strengths/Weaknesses ) :
+Rin has a great potential to become a powerful magus.
+Her academic education is above average for a child her age.
+Her family's magic revolves around 'flowing' and 'transferring' mana, primarily charging it into jewels so that spells can be used instantaneously. The TYPEMOON wiki can explain some of her potential. As of now, she can only do relatively minor spells.
-Her impetuous nature leads her into making terrible errors of judgement.
-At this point in her life, she's still mostly been sheltered.
-She has a tendency to take interest in things that are more than she can handle.
-She's six years old, which probably counts as a weakness on its own.
( Other Important Facts ) :
Ultimately, she's the archetypical tsundere in training. Good luck, Vatheon.
( Sample ) :
Something very strange was happening in the underwater city of Vatheon.
Rin could hardly believe it when she first saw. Still dressed in pajamas, she'd stepped out onto the terrace of her current home. And promptly got bonked on the head by a rubber duckie. The resultant squeak was either her or the toy or maybe both, but it hardly mattered when it turned quite suddenly into a squall of yellow rubber birds.
A Tohsaka shouldn't respond to this situation with a whoop of joyous laughter, but it was just much too funny to ignore. She could not focus on the important aspects of being a the heir to her family for just a few moments when she had something so whimsical happening. This kind of thing could never happen back home, after all.
"Ah! This is amazing!" she called out, scrambling with less dignity than she would have liked back into the safety of the house. "This is really the most amazing! Conjuring ducks like that! If they're using that kind of magecraft, I'll have to find a way to divert them if I can go anywhere..."
Though, really, it'd be a few minutes before she simply decided to get an umbrella instead. The brilliant scion of the Tohsaka family had her moments.
( Questions? Comments? Concerns? ) : I got a fever, and the only prescription is more Vatheon!
