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. Please try to refrain from NPCing other characters in this segment to keep the focus on the character you're apping.) 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?

An app, by any other name, would be just as long.

Before we can make our final decision we would like to request a third person sample. For your third person sample, we'd like if you could give us a more introspective look on England. You will have one week to submit this new request. Thank you!

And with that, the XXX Olympiad had ended. It was time to head home with that rare feeling of a good kind of tired. If the world ended this year, Alice said to herself amusedly as she walked down the empty cobblestone road, she'd at least kick the bucket on a high note. It might be old news to everyone else in a matter of weeks, but Alice does not so easily forget moments like these. When Alice genuinely feels happy, she has to remember to not let go of the feeling so easily.

In all the time leading up to it, she could not help but overhear the murmurings of the people. And very few of them had a lot of good to say- well, there might have been a number of people looking forward to it, but it's hard to hear the praise when the criticism is so loud. Truth be told, Alice's mind was heavy with worry. She already worried about everything, and with such a large event, with reputation on the line, she did not know how she had managed to keep on a good face for everyone. Only the most caffeinated tea and concealer for her panda eyes separated her from becoming the biggest mess in front of all her colleagues. But Alice had a stiff upper lip to uphold.

The stress really had kicked in when the mascots were unveiled.The more people called Wenlock and Mandeville "ugly" or "creepy", Alice couldn't help but want to hug them. Buy all of their toys. Sure, they weren't cute in the conventional way, and Alice might have preferred a cute kind of lion, but so many people didn't even give those mascots a chance! Or perhaps Alice felt too strongly about them being shunned because she somehow saw herself in those strange, one-eyed, metal creatures. They looked different, strange. It mattered little, though, because they were now the mascots of one of her most successful olympics!

Sure, it wasn't all perfect. There were some low points and some parts that could have been improved. And it would be very much like Alice to pick out those things and focus on them, because there was no one Alice criticised more than herself, but this time there was no stronger urge than to throw all that to the wind and enjoy it all for once. People never expected the British to earn so many medals, while she only hoped to at least beat France. Alice almost felt bad about doubting her athletes, ending up only behind two of the most populous (and obnoxious) nations in the world.

(Those tallies that had Russia with a greater count still got her goat, though. There's only one official count and one alone!)

The "glory days" of old would always remain in her mind, no matter how much she tried to accept her current standing (and how short the taste of that power felt). Now, however, she couldn't even laugh at herself for being happy with third place. It went well. It was fun, and she didn't even have to be drunk the entire time to enjoy it. Hell, even the fact that the opening and closing ceremonies were mainly British in-jokes didn't worry her. Others could tilt their heads in confusion as she laughed heartily; it was all for her own sake, anyway. For now, she was definitely out of fucks to give.

So yes, if only for tonight, she would take out her Spice Girls collection and not give a toss who saw her singing along. (But nobody had better upload anything about it to Facebook. Or else.)
