APPLICATIONS
Apps will open on June 23rd at 11:59 am EST
Player Cap: 52/70
| Before you submit your application, please review the Applications and Reserves section of the info / faq page, as there are additional rules regarding malleable protagonists, CRAU characters, fandom OCs, canon caps, player caps, and other important things to note. Applications will be processed in the order they are received and after the application cycle closes. We will only accept as many players as we have player slots, however, we will review all applications submitted during the cycle. Application cycles are not first come first serve, and instead will be judged on clarity of the app and samples. Application revisions will have three days to submit adjustments. If not submitted in time, they will have to wait until the next application cycle to resubmit. Application rejections will have to wait until the next application cycle to resubmit unless otherwise specified in the original rejection. You may either post your application in a comment to this post, or link to it from your character journal. Please use the following format for your comment in the subject line: CHARACTER | CANON | RESERVED / NOT RESERVED There is a limit of 2 characters initially maximum that can be played. (You can redeem additional character slots by way of the rewards page.) As with reservations, you may apply for 2 characters at a time. Proxy applications are not accepted. We do not accept application challenges. We do not accept duplicate characters. We only accept applications for 1 malleable protagonist in a cast. Malleable protagonists may not have preexisting relationships with other characters from their canon aside from base storyline. (Exceptions will potentially be made for CRAUs and handled on a case-by-case basis.) Fandom OC characters are accepted, but may not have preexisting relationships with other characters from their canon. (Exceptions will potentially be made for CRAUs and handled on a case-by-case basis.) CRAU characters are accepted, however, must not be so removed from their original canon state that they are unrecognisable. CRAU characters who carry a multitude of prior games may only carry over memories, relationships, and experiences from their most recent game. |
APPLICATION FORM
| Player: Contact: Age: Current Characters: If applicable. Character Name: Character Canon: If applicable. Canon Point: Age: Crime: All characters are accused of a crime upon their arrival, and it's printed on their indestructible parchment. This crime can be fitting of your character or ill-fitting. It can be a crime they've committed or a crime they would never commit. Consider that Expiation's definition of crimes may not mirror reflect what we think of when we consider crime in the real world. Feel free to think a little out of the box and more abstract. Fiction versus reality here doesn't so much make a difference. Please choose one crime, bearing in mind that there may be occasions in which the crime chosen could affect how a character interacts with certain events or situations. Background: You may provide a link to a wiki, for canon characters. If your wiki has limited information, or your character may not have much canon behind them, you are expected to write supplemental details without leaning too heavily into headcanon. For OCs, you don't need to provide an overly verbose background, just enough to give an accurate portrayal of the world they come from and definitive experiences that are important to their character. For CRAUS, please specify additional information about what they are carrying over from their prior game. This can also be limited to definitive experiences and relationships. Personality: Although this game heavily relies on the analysis and reflection of a character, we don't expect a dissertation. Please provide information on your character's motivations, how their relationships and experiences have affected or shaped them, and other related information. You may use character dialogue to further showcase this, but it's not expected. If you find it easier to use bullet point formats, feel free to do that. Please do not exceed 800 words. Abilities: If your character has any special abilities (magic, weapon skills, and so on), please list them here. Remember that world-breaking abilities will be diluted. Inventory: A list of inventory that your character is carrying on them can be put here. Characters will not have access to an infinite hammer space, so please only list things that would make sense for your character to be physically carrying. Samples: Two recent samples from the last year are required and must adequately convey a character's voice. In a thread, we prefer at least five comments from you. At least one sample must be from the current TDM post. Other threads may be taken from bakerstreet, other games, or other memes. During application review, not only will we be judging for characterization, but also longevity and completion of threads. Not all threads have to be finished before being submitted, but the mod team would like to see an effort in furthering the thread if it's not completed. Questions: If you have any questions for the mod team, please include them here and we will address them during the processing of your application. |
rafal | fire emblem engage | reserved
Contact:
Age: 30+
Current Characters: N/A
Character Name: Rafal
Character Canon: Fire Emblem Engage
Canon Point: Just before the final battle with Sombron
Age: Thousands of years old, physically in his early 20s
Crime: Wiping out all the denizens of a world, rendering it effectively “dead”
Background: Wiki
Personality:
Pride: Rafal has a strong amount of pride in being a dragon and being himself. Due to his upbringing where he had to pretend to be “Nil”, constantly acting weak and soft. Once he revealed himself, Rafal swung strongly towards holding onto his true self. To him, that means he is blunt and abrasive and truthful, though rarely malicious and cruel. Sometimes he fails to grasp the feelings of others, but his proud and harsh comes from a place of insecurity after many centuries pretending to be someone else.
And in many ways, it is a mask. Rafal feels an intense grief and pain over his actions. Because of this, he doesn’t consider himself to possess much worth, calling himself irredeemable and shying away from anyone who may even consider saying otherwise. He doesn’t think much of his life and his future, as long as he lays it down in the service of life and the person who gave him a second chance, the Divine Dragon.
Repetent: Due to his crimes of murder and destruction upon his world, Rafal is very determined to be penitent and helpful. He is willing to perform any boon and deed that will help others and he is not interested in forgiveness or thanks as long as his deeds can be accepted. Sometimes he is a little too forward about the horrible actions he has taken, hoping that he will cut off any desire for people to feel sympathy towards him. Rafal will never dodge his accountability, but he sometimes leans too far, punishing himself from feeling he could be allowed any leeway.
Humour: Despite his circumstances, Rafal does possess a wicked sense of humour. He enjoys practical jokes (nothing hurtful or painful) and enjoys watching the reactions of people around him. He will sometimes play up his bloodthirstiness and brutality, even though he rarely behaves that way anymore or give people trick sweets and candies in order to watch them flounder while he laughs. With a love for horror stories and dark jokes, Rafal often plays up being the terrible dragon.
Honest: Rafal never disguises or hides his intentions as if to make up for his past manipulations and actions. That often translates to a bluntness that is not particularly friendly or welcoming, but he never shies away from anything. His opinion is not something he holds back on. Any topic, no matter how difficult, he’s willing to discuss. And while he still struggles with being forthright emotionally, pushing it away, Rafal will take the pains to confront himself and his own issues and come forward with them. He’s never bitter about apologies and never careless with other people’s secrets.
Abilities:
The Corrupted: One of Rafal’s abilities is resurrecting the dead. He can bring back anyone and they survive through his will. Sometimes they do not even realize they’re dead, sometimes they are his willing servants.
Transformation: With his dragonstone, Rafal can turn into a dragon and emit a blast of power. He can also fly.
Basic magic: Rafal can do basic magic like tracking spells and locating lost object spells.
Fighter: Rafal is trained in the ways of combat as a capable and lethal fighter.
Inventory:
> Two dragonstones
> His axe “Revanche”
Samples: TDM top level
Questions: N/A
