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

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?

2) She’s blind. Terezi wasn’t born blind (we can all thank Vriska’s crazybitchiness for blinding her), but it’s had a massive impact on her life. When she went blind, she also woke on Prospit—the moon of Skaia where her dreamself lives. That means, before SGRUB even started, she was awake on Prospit. There, her lusus (the one that never hatched) spoke to her in her dreams and taught her to see like a dragon. Through taste and smell, she could get a blurry picture of the world (taste is stronger than her smell). But she also found that she could smell/taste other things, too. For example, if you lie enough to her, those lies "build up," and she can smell them. Her first conversation with Dave involved 3 lies: Dave was a girl, he was a "north american hollering phallus baboon," and his name was "shaggy 2 dope." Let's all just take a moment to love Dave.

Okay, we're good? Good.

After the third lie, she could tell that Dave was a "big joker" and that couldn't possibly be his name. He instantly replaces "shaggy 2 dope" with "Ben Stiller." It takes Terezi a little bit longer to realize that one was a lie also, but when Dave finally says his name, she can instantly smell the truth. She still calls him a holler baboon, though. 8|

She also claims to smell other emotions, like Karkat’s rage.

Terezi is, surprisingly, ridiculously glad to be blind. Dreamselves are typically whole versions of the character, undamaged by life experiences. Vriska is missing an eye and an arm, but her dreamself is whole. However, Terezi’s dreamself is still blind, which she explains to Karkat, is because she likes being blind. When talking to Vriska, she further emphasizes this point:

AG: I lost seven eyes 8ut you only lost two! I would say you came out ahead in the 8argain.
GC: 1 KNOW
GC: 4ND 4CTU4LLY
GC: 1 N3V3R R34LLY GOT TH3 CH4NC3 TO TH4NK YOU >:D
AG: Ugh! Your sarcasm really stings when here I am just trying to 8e nice. Ok, I guess I deserve it.
GC: 1M S3R1OUS THOUGH
GC: BUT 1 DONT 3XP3CT YOU TO G3T TH4T

Eventually, after a year on their meteor hurtling through space-time bullshit (oh, am I using the word “meteor” wrong? DEAL WITH IT, NERDS), she meets Araena, who is Vriska’s ancestor from a universe that was scratched in order to create Terezi’s, which means in Araena’s reality, Vriska was her ancestor. .....Shut up this is Homestuck.

Araena offers to heal Terezi:

AG: This is what I did as a Sylph of Light. Helped people see things.
AG: I could even perform the feat literally, if you wanted.
GC: WHO4 WH4T?
AG: It's up to you of course.

Terezi declines, though:

GC: HMM
GC: TH4NKS FOR 4SK1NG
GC: BUT 1D R4TH3R JUST ST4Y TH1S W4Y
GC: L34RN1NG TO S3NS3 TH1NGS TH1S W4Y W4S TH3 ONLY CONN3CT1ON 1 3V3R H4D W1TH MY LUSUS B3FOR3 SH3 D13D
GC: 1T R3M1NDS M3 OF H3R
GC: TH4T PROB4BLY SOUNDS DUMB THOUGH

4) She cares about her friends. You might have noticed the surprising amount of cobalt blue throughout this app. There's a reason for this. Terezi and Vriska are two sides of the same coin, ridiculously similar but so fucking different that they clash. While they both care for their friends, they do it in different ways. Vriska attacks them and helps create Jack, trying to make them strong. Terezi helps them. She guides them through the game as the Seer, but is also pretty friendly. She RPs with Nepeta, encourages Tavros to believe harder in his imaginary friend because that will make him less fake (trollingly), trolls Karkat endlessly-- she gets along with most of the other characters. She teases, but doesn't put it too far, and knows when to back down most of the time (like with Feferi in Alterniabound).

However, her story in Homestuck is about someone who is very self assured losing that confidence. The first strike against it is when she manipulates Dave into creating a split timeline-- where one Dave should kill the other in order to make him into a god. Dave, understandably, can't do it. Jack does it for him, and while she was confident in her plan before the murder took place, afterwards, she's incredibly distraught (absconding from the main troll room in tears).

She also starts out very confident in her abilities of understanding people and getting into their minds, but when she kills Vriska in order to save herself and Karkat (she saw a doomed timeline where Vriska flies off to fight Jack, but in doing so, leads Jack straight to them. Even if Vriska could have won against Jack, it meant that everyone else was going to die), she starts to question herself. The guilt of killing her ex-best friend manifests itself into the thoughts of "why were those the only two options-- kill her and live, or don't kill her and everyone minus her dies," "why didnt I keep a better eye on Vriska and stop this from happening in the first place," etc etc. By the time she meets Araena a year later in a dream bubble, it's clear this guilt has been eating at her for a very long time.
