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.

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?

Oh sure, sorry about that:

After killing the girl he loves, an old friend, blinding a potential rival(though by his knowledge Sollux could be as good as dead), AND destroying all hope for their species, Eridan's state-of-mind isn't what one would probably call stable. By no means does this mean he's a wack-job of course, but rather that he's allowed his own bitterness and hate to take over for his decisions. Those decisions still being very much his own, of course, but with nothing left to lose, he definitely plans on continuing with the very plot he presented to Feferi. For as much as he may have not felt like part of the group before, or that he didn't owe them a lick of anything, he feels it exponentially more so now. It's every troll for themselves, and being a troll of his standing, he honestly has every right to act as he did,by his own frame of reference.

See, what Eridan's intention was in saving himself and Feferi, was doing what was right for their species, though it was entirely selfish as well. Eridan is definitely a villainous character through and through, but with that said, he isn't evil. Just a self-absorbed, egotist, with a conditioned and twisted view, so with his race abandoned, a race without any hope(Or so he declares), he strives for his own survival, and if that means killing those he once saw as friends along the way, so be it. It's only right that royalty survives, after all, it's his place as the ruling class, but also as the Prince of Hope, to be the last to survive. With that said, he's hardly feeling remorse for his actions, if anything, justified in his own way. He sought civility with Feferi, but Sollux was the one who provoked him, the fight wasn't something he brought, but something he finished, or so that's how he sees it.

If anything, it merely fulled that hate and bitterness that he's been stewing on for a good part of his time in the game, solidifying those feelings and giving him more of an excuse to see himself as not the villain in this, but the victim.
