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

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?

On my personal DW just because

Before we can make our final decision, we'd like to request a new third person sample that better reflects Smoker's thoughts. While your current sample is fine, we feel it explains more of what Smoker is doing than what's on his mind, his goals or thought patterns. If need be you can ask for a prompt. You will have one week to submit this new request.

Thank you!

If this is insufficient I would like to request a prompt or questionnaire, please and thank you! (Set in canon)

--------------------------------

Looking out at the New World's ocean, beset with lightning rain, Smoker took a long drag on his twin cigars. It had been 24 years since that fateful day in Loguetown. The town of the beginning and the end. Prologue, and Epilogue. The birth and execution place of one Gold Roger: King of the pirates. Actually, it was Gol D. Roger as Smoker had learned better over the last few years sailing the Grand Line. It was almost ironic that growing up in the same city; walking the same streets, seeing the same sights for over thirty years, Smoker hadn't learned much about the man who had so captured a twelve year old boy with his smile on the execution stand. Even as a captain, Smoker hadn't been able to learn that much more about the only pirate to reach the end of the Grand Line and come back.

It took following a dumbass kid for Smoker to really start learning about Gol D. Roger. Like his name. Or that the stupid fire-brat was his biological son. That Gold Roger even had a son. There was still the mystery of what "D" meant though. It seemed the deeper into the Grand Line Smoker traveled, the more it came up. What did it stand for? Did even the "D's" themselves truly know?

Smoker sipped at a bottle of his favorite rum and ignoring the crackling weather. Gol D. Roger's smile... had it really been 24 years? 2 years to the day since Smoker had left Loguetown, chasing a straw hat wearing brat with the same smile on the execution stand. Did Monkey D. Luffy know all that much about the first pirate king when he made his declaration to be the king? Doubtful. No, Straw Hat hadn't even known about seastone, or which way the execution stand was; or to even avoid asking a marine for directions. And yet it always seemed to work out for him. Straw Hat Luffy seemed to have the devil's luck at acquiring people to help him out of his messes; which just meant Smoker would have to be strong enough to fight off all of them, didn't it?

For his justice. Straw Hat wasn't the worst threat as a pirate. There were others more evil, others more like to brutally murder someone, some pirates who already had. But Smoker knew there were no other pirates more likely to be the next Pirate King if he didn't stop him. Because other marines hadn't see what he did those two days exactly 22 years apart. Right before dying, right as they accepted their fate and death, both Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Luffy smiled upon the execution stand. Who did that? No other pirate Smoker could think of. Even Gol D. Roger's son shed some tears for the things he hadn't done when he died. Yet at only seventeen, Luffy saw his death and embraced it. Was it a life already lived? No, it was acceptance of anything for a dream. And a man like that was the most dangerous of all.
