Applications
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

In England, it rains. A lot. And the children found themselves indoors for longer periods than they had expected. One day Lucy (the youngest) asked for a game of hide and seek. Now, this doesn't seem too exciting but it certainly was better than Susan's (the second oldest) dictionary games. Peter was It and he began counting to a hundred and the three others ran wild to find hiding spots. Edmund shoved Lucy out from behind some tapestry. Because, well, he "found" that hiding spot first. Not a second after Peter had finished his count came Lucy screaming and shouting down the hall- something about not missing her, she was alright, not to worry about how long she had been missing, ruining the game. She rattles off a tale about finding a magical land in the upstairs wardrobe. It was called "Narnia" and it was a beautiful forest, and there were fauns and it had been winter for hundred years now. Always winter but never Christmas. But it was beautiful and oh, she wanted the others to go see it too!
After thorough investigation of the wardrobe in question the other three find that there is, in fact, no Narnia. Edmund thinks it would be fun, though, to say he believes his dear little sister. I mean, hadn't he told the others about finding a football field in the bathroom cupboards? He begins to make it game to torture Lucy about her magical country. At every opportunity, he's making a jab at her sanity. At every mention of a forest, he laughs at Lucy's childish imagination. He does everything in his possibility to bully her. One night he decides to follow her and he makes his way into the spare room he had seen Lucy walk in to, and then he stalks into the wardrobe with the intention to scare her. Not finding her, he begins to walk farther in, and soon he feels the temperature getting colder and the fur coats are beginning to feel more prickly and then-
Edmund's in Narnia. Shocked, he begins to call out for Lucy and ask for her forgiveness. Not finding an answer he starts to explore the winter wonderland. He stumbles across a sleigh carrying a lady who introduces herself as the Queen of Narnia. She feeds Edmund enchanted treats and fills his head with promises of making him a king if only he could bring her his siblings. Edmund agrees to this quite eagerly (having been seduced by the magic treats) and they part ways. Lucy comes running up to him a few moments after, telling him about how great it was to see him there and how the faun Tumnus (who had greeted her on her first visit) was alright because the Witch hadn't found out about his helping her. After she explains that the Witch is pretending to be Queen, and that she really is a horrible person, Edmund begins to feel sick and he convinces Lucy to go back through the wardrobe with him.
Lucy wakes up Peter and Susan and begins to tell them enthusiastically about how Edmund had now been to Narnia too. When asked to verify this, Edmund does the worst thing he could to protect his pride- he lies and smugly explains how he was only playing along with Lucy's madness. His plan backfires though, and the older children are left scorning his spitefulness.
AND THEN THIS HAPPENED.
TLDR; Edmund is a bully and a prat. But he's not such a bad guy! Honestly! He's only a little kid that needs more love and less war-torn family time and some sweets would be good too oh man they would be really good.

What items will they be bringing with them to Discedo? one very very extremely dull pocket knife. it's like a retractable butter knife.
Posting Samples
Third-Person Sample: "Bugger!" He’ll kill Peter when he next gets the chance! And that’s not just some silly little threat- Edmund means it and he means it bad. To be dragged out of his bed into this… place here, just because of Lucy’s stupid little crying. Crocodile tears and everyone was too stupid to notice that. She was having them all on, was thing. She was having them on with… with Narnia, and she was having so much fun with it and she’d gone and overdone it so now Edmund couldn’t possibly think he’d ever get Peter’s and Susan’s attention back to the silly little country.
He needed to get them through that wardrobe so’s the Queen could see them and make them his servants and strike Peter dumb.
"'lo? Is there anyone here?" He needed to find a way back to the Professor’s house, though, in all honestly. Though the streets and buildings look much like London. He’d been there once, in the real city, a few times. And he was a clever boy and he remembered what it had looked like. Big buildings like these? And all with holes in them big enough for bears or badgers to crawl in through? Yes, it’s definitely London.
Hullo! The little blighter seems to have tripped on this… box. Thing. And toggled on the video feed, but what does a boy from 1940 know about this sort of technological nonsense? Instead, he thinks he’s tripped over a mine or grenade or one of those unexploded bombs (although a very small one) and he quickly scurries away, startled. He’s waiting, ducking under a convenient pile of rubble. Peeking out. Reaching for a… stick. Actually, no, he’s putting that stick back. He’ll reach for a well sized rock and toss it.
He’s got good aim! Tink! goes the rock hitting the feed.
He gets another rock. Tosses it. This goes on for a while until he seems to get bored and Edmund again picks up the stick. He slinks closer to the device… just his luck, to find an explosive that won’t ever explode. "Boring, stupid thing. Germans can't even make proper bombs, the pigs." He’ll poke it repeatedly. Forever. Or until he’s called out on it.
First-Person Sample: Whut? Stop looking at me like that, would you? I'm not-- do you think I'm lost? Well I'm not! I'm in London, see!
Well-- it doesn't look like much. I know. But it is the city still. I mean, you can't possibly be like her too, and believe in other worlds and all. Those are things only little kids think of. It not-- I mean, it's not like I've ever been there, to Lucy's little Narnia or anything, so why should I believe her? Or you? I think that's one of those unexploded bombs over there. We've got plenty of those back home.
And. Well, if we are in this Dis... Diso... in another world, I suppose that would be jolly good too. Peter's not here. That means this place is already so much better than that boring old cabin in the woods I come from.

REQUEST
You will have one week to submit this new request. Thank you!
lmao i knew it :C
apps hate meOKAY LET'S DO THISThe book doesn't give much explanation for Edmund being the way he is (later, we find out his new school has worked terrible wonders on his personality) at the beginning. The reader only finds out that he enjoys picking on smaller kids as is his situation with Lucy. He doesn't have a problem with lying about things so long as he weasels out of trouble or uncomfortable situations, or the lies add up to make his boring life seem a little more interesting.
I don't think anyone would initially sit well with Edmund, but his dislike can't possibly go farther than the hate he has for his older brother Peter. He resents the authority that was given to him and, because of that, the lesser value that it seems he has in comparison. Practically anything he'll do will be with the intention of showing Peter up and proving himself the superior (though he'll never admit it even to himself). His pride's taken a hit and Ed intends to compensate for it by making his family seem as terrible as he can. Or. Well. As terrible as he can before the guilt begins to settle.
In contrast to his older siblings, when Lucy first began going on about Narnia, Edmnd was the only one to taunt her. Really savagely, too, and there wouldn't be a moment where he wouldn't pass up an opportinuty to poke fun at her waning sanity ("Of course I believe you. Didn't I ever tell you about the football field in the bathroom cupboards?" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT)
In fact, the only reason he has visited Narnia is because he followed her into the wardrobe with the pure ill intent to torment her further.
There he meets the White Which, and, ok, he feels like stranger danger applies in strange magical countries. He feels intimidated by her and deep down knows she's unkind. But he ignores his instincts and eats her bewitched foods. From this moment on, he's enchanted and he comes up with all sorts of excuses for the Witch being as mean and scary as he thinks she is. He convinces himself to believe all her promises about making him king and Peter and the rest of his family his slaves. Since whoever eats her enchanted food is doomed to forever want more of it, to crave it, to need it, the White Witch (with the plan to gather and kill all four children and stop Aslan's prophecy from coming true) promises Edmund more treats if he brings his siblings into Narnia to meet her. He knows... deep down... that that's wrong... but he agrees to do it anyway because he's Edmund.
THEN LUCY FINDS HIM looking sick in the snowy country and they tumble back to the English side of the wardrobe. Lucy so enthusiasically tells Peter and Susan about how she now has Edmund to vouch for Narnia's reality. Expectant and eager, the older two question Edmund. Feeling terribly pressured, and with guilt churning his stomach, and feeling sick from too many sweets, he says Lucy was only playing her little kid game again and he was only doing wrong in encouraging her. He's smug at first for coming up with such a grown-up way to dodge a bullet, but his plan to appear more mature in the others' eyes backfires and the others only grow more spiteful of his spitefulness because of it.
orz if this doesn't cut it can i get a little more specific request? por favor
