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?

Amelia Peabody Emerson

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Also, her past (pre-SGRUB) emphasizes how smart she is. Together with Vriska, the two formed the Scourge Sisters, a absolutely terrifying duo who kicked ass and took names at FLARP (like LARP, but with more death). Vriska, when reminiscing, comments that:

AG: Oh man, if you crossed Terezi Pyrope you were fucked!!!!!!!!

And a little while later:

AG: But it was still a lot of fun. Watching you dismantle huge teams of Flarpers with nothing 8ut politics and head games.
AG: Without even using any special powers! Wow.

Unlike her partner in justice, Terezi didn’t need any psychic ability to control her opponents or make them do what she wanted. This skill carries into Homestuck and Hivebent, and later manifests itself through her title as the Seer of Mind. Before beginning the game, after Vriska crippled Tavros and killed Aradia, through manipulation and use of her bro Sollux’s hacking skills, Terezi was able to make D
o
c Scratch
, an omniscient being, fuck Vriska’s shit up. In return, Vriska blinded her, but it was still a pretty smart plan.

Later, D
o
c Scratch
explains Terezi’s role as the Seer of Mind:

A Seer would support her allies in battle not with her weapons, but her vision. She would sift through dross of her comrades' poor tactical inclinations and examine the grim consequences. A Seer would not charge into the fray headlong but direct it as a conductor with a baton. She would have the sight to eschew the obvious gambits, and find the path to victory disguised cleverly as setback, or even imminent defeat. She would behold the fortunes of friends and foes in totality, and appraise the contrivance of luck itself. She would know its mines were not to be plundered, but simply explored and charted carefully.

We see this in how Terezi was able to work with Jack on Operation Regisurp (to exile the Black Queen) while, at the same time, working with Sn
o
wman
(the Black Queen hundreds of years in the future) and Vriska to exile Jack. A beautiful double-reacharound of betrayal and brilliant planning. She was able to measure her enemies and allies abilities and skills properly, and with that knowledge, could create and pull off such plans.

We also see this when she meets Dave. After helping him along in the game, she eventually gets Dave to cheat the system via time travel and make tons of money in his planet’s stock exchange, send her that money to her in the past, which makes her take notice of him before they ever meet, which is how the trolls find out about the humans in the first place.

Hands down, Terezi is the smartest troll. However, she can be incredibly foolish and tends to stick with her initial ideas, regardless of how absurd they may be. During Gamzee’s killing spree on the Veil (aka HORRORSTUCK), Terezi assumed Vriska was the culprit for all the bodies she found. Her explanation for Feferi’s corpse and the bitemarks she found on her neck were explained by Vriska randomly developing a taste for blood, and even though she pointed out what a stupid idea it was, she stuck with it. Gamzee planted some pretty weak evidence around Equius’ and Nepeta’s bodies indicating Vriska as the murderer, and Terezi completely bought it. Hussie mentioned that Gamzee’s chucklevoodoos could have been at work, but we don’t really know what the fuck a chucklevoodoo does or how it works, so whatever man. We do know Gamzee was trying to kill all the trolls, and he couldn’t take Vriska on by himself. So he got Terezi to do it for him. Ehhhh man idk. Even after Vriska confronted Terezi on how stupid those ideas were, and that she had only killed one of their friends, Terezi was still alight with JUUUSTICE and carries through with her plan.

She then regrets it for a very, very long time afterwards.
