Applications

APPLICATIONS ARE CLOSED
Discedo will be closing soon, and we are no longer accepting applications.

Applications are processed every Saturday. To make sure your application is processed please submit it by 11:59 PM Saturday at the latest. Please check the Taken Characters list and the Reserves page before applying.

Currently we accept any canon as long as there is an English translation (fan translations qualify)

OCs are not currently accepted

Real life figures must be from a scripted canon, not real life (ex. you may not app Thomas Jefferson straight from history, but you may app him from the musical 1776)

We accept both Hetalia and Nyotalia characters. The requirement for each is that they have an official design by Himaruya and either one line in a strip or at least two sentences of notes from Himaruya. In Hetalia and Nyotalia apps we're looking for at least one paragraph of the personality section (four sentences) dedicated to canon traits as seen through strips, audio dramas, anime episodes and notes from Himaruya. For characters with sparse information you may extrapolate details from their official design or the situations they're found in in canon.

For vocaloids we require at least two major songs to be linked and discussed in the personality section (ex. discussing what side of Luka Megurine's personality Just Be Friends shows). Currently we only accept official vocaloids. We also accept PV vocaloids such as the Of Evil series, but this is a case by case basis, if you're not certain please don't be afraid to ask for clarification on the Suggestion Box page

APPLICATION
OOC Information Name: Personal journal: Contact: Characters played at Discedo: IC Information Name: (Western name order) Canon: Timeline: (Chapter or episode number if possible) Canon Resource Link: (Wiki, fansite or you may write a brief synopsis yourself) Personality: (We're looking for a clear outline of your character's personality. What motivates them? What are they best at? What are their less admirable traits? Please provide examples from canon! While there is no word limit this section should be at least two paragraphs) Powers & Abilities: (You may link to a wiki or fansite, but at the least please provide a list here of your character's abilities and a short description of each ability) What items will they be bringing with them to Discedo? (Weapons and gadgets will be decided on a case-by-case basis, some might not be allowed, some might be but be broken upon arrival and need to be fixed. Vehicles, giant robots and pets who aren't important to your character's abilities in some way (ex. familiars) will not be accepted) Posting Samples Third-Person Sample: (Must be at least 300 words. Samples may only be set in either canon or Discedo, we do not accept samples set in other game settings. For this sample we'd like to see a reflection of traits discussed in the personality section. Please try to refrain from NPCing other characters in this segment to keep the focus on the character you're apping.) First-Person Sample: (Must be at least ten sentences, can be set either in canon or Discedo. We do not accept samples set in other game settings. You may include action brackets, but we'd like at least five lines of dialogue as we're looking for a clear sense of voice here. This sample should be written as a post made on a communications network. There is also a questionnaire available on the Discedo applications page. For this sample we'd like to see a reflection of traits discussed in the personality section. Please try to refrain from NPCing other characters in this segment to keep the focus on the character you're apping.) Links: (You may link us several IC threads showcasing your characterization either in another RP, musebox or community such as <user name=dear_mun>. Please no character altering memes though.)

First Person Questionnaire
If you wish to fill out a questionnaire for your first person sample, please chose only 5-8 questions from the list below. Pick questions that help reflect your characters personality, while still meeting the 10 sentence requirement.
What are your goals? How do you feel about the world around you? What upsets you? What makes you happy? What is most precious to you? Is family important to you? Why? Are friends important to you? Why? Do you have regrets? If so, name one. What do you miss? What made you who you are today? Do you have any secrets? Which do you rely more on: logic or intuition? What accomplishments are you most proud of? What emotion do you feel is the MOST essential? What emotion do you feel is the LEAST essential? If you could have one thing in the world, what would it be? How do you value your life over others? What is 'justice'--how would you define it? What single trait do you feel defines YOU? How do you want to live your life? Are you a lover or a fighter?

Posting Samples
Third-Person Sample:
It wasn't very often that Megumi Kitaniji would admit to being completely confused. Certainly there were moments when things would surprise him, catch him off guard, but he generally had an idea of what was going on or what to do. He generally had some form of control over the situation. But now, now was different. Right now, he'd admit to his confusion, his loss.

Right now he was on a train and that was very perplexing.

It wasn't so much that he was on a train as it was he was actually somewhere. That he even existed. As hard as he tried, he'd lost the Game with the Composer. He fought until he ran out of time and could fight no more. Neku Sakuraba, the Composer's Proxy, had been a formidable opponent indeed. He was absolutely clueless--laughably so--until the very end, but formidable nonetheless. After all, he had been defeated by the boy a grand total of three times in the same day. Something that would have hurt an average man's ego considerably.

The former Conductor shouldn't have been able to be there, sitting on that train, aware of the world around him. He knew better than to assume it was some sort of afterlife, he'd already had his own afterlife. There was nothing after Erasure. Only the void had awaited him. No, someone wanted him around for some reason. He'd been somehow abducted back into existence. But for what and by whom, he hadn't the faintest idea.

Megumi pushed his sunglasses up the bridge of his nose, looking out the window. There was nothing remarkable to look at, of course. He wished he had a book, something to keep his mind from wandering too far into the "what-ifs" until he arrived at his destination.

It wasn't like he had anywhere (or anything for that matter) to return to.

First-Person Sample:
(sample taken from

gargleblasted)

[The guide turns on, angled upward from his elbow. He's looking downward, his arm quickly moving. He's very much used to paperwork by now.

He stops writing, his typical facial expression temporarily wavering.]

... The easy button? [he sighs, muttering under his breath.] When You said You were going to destroy it, this isn't quite what I imagined. I suppose it isn't my place to judge.

[His typical, smirky demeanor returns and he finishes off the last of the paperwork. He stacks them neatly before looking over his shoulder.]

.... Hah. [internal facepalm.] Figures. [His free hand covers the lens before turning the guide off.]

Before we can make our final decision we would like to request another first person. Unfortunately, we can't accept this first-person sample as it is set in another game's universe. First-person samples should be set in Discedo or the character's own canon. Likewise, we'd also like if you expanded more on the dialogue rather than the [action] tags. We like at least five lines of dialogue so mods can get a clear sense of Megumi's voice. You will have one week to submit this new request. Thank you!

Oops. I'm sorry!

First-Person Sample:
[Megumi eyes the mass of Reapers through the dark shades. Konishi at his side while the rest stand before him. It would seem everyone is there, waiting and talking amongst themselves.

He clears his throat. His officer and once loyal right-hand man… woman, hushes them.]

Only a week after joining us, Daisukenojo Biito has betrayed us by forming a pact with the Player Neku Sakuraba. This grave treason cannot be taken lightly. Our numbers have dwindled enough as is. Daisukenojo's betrayal could threaten the very existence of the UG. I see no other choice but to issue an Emergency Call.

[He pauses.]

Each of you will be equipped with an O-Pin in order to deal with the renegade. [He pulls a red pin from his pocket.] They will increase your performance. You must wear them at all times.

I expect you to show no mercy and Erase them both as soon as possible. Rest assured, [he grins] you will be well-rewarded for your work.
