ᴀᴘᴘʟɪᴄᴀᴛɪᴏɴs
(applications are closed.) opening october 8th at 00:01 GMT-8. SO, you've read the F.A.Q., the rules, checked that the character you're interested in is free and not reserved, and now you're ready to apply? Great! We're ready to accept you! The application description is below, and the form is ready for your copypasta convenience just underneath it! Please submit all applications in comments to this post with the subject "chara name | series". Have a seat, and drink some tea. We'll get right to you! At this time, we do NOT allow application challenges. Sorry about that! It's all first-come, first-serve. You can apply for TWO (2) characters per round, with a maximum of SIX (6) characters allowed altogether. RESERVES are not necessary. We run on a first-come, first-served system, but if you reserve your place is guaranteed for apps. REQUESTS will always be as clear as possible on what we believe was lacking and expect to see written into the application, but feel free to ask for clarification and we'll reply as soon as possible. You have seventy-two (72) hours to revise, or your application will be revoked. Although you're more than welcome to ask for an extension if for some reason you're unable to complete in time, within reason. REJECTIONS will also have clearly-stated reasons, and you'll be more than welcome to re-apply next month. However, we ask that if you're rejected three times in a row, you please try your hand at another character. WHEN ACCEPTED, please read and follow the directions in the welcome copypasta closely! We don't ask for a terrible amount, but we do note that some things are mandatory for the game and it helps greatly with organization! DID YOU PLAY IN HOLYRELIC BEFORE? We have a special rule for that! If you're repicking a character you had in HR before we closed previously, we're upholding our promise that your character can come back with their memories, THREE (3) event items of your choosing, and half of their levels. (I.E: Gauche was level 42 thereabouts, he'll be 21 to start.) Just comment to the apps with an updated player/character section to reclaim! No need for samples. :) Applications can be screened for privacy after they've been judged, so please add a note if you'd like it screened. player. NAME: Your name or handle. JOURNAL: Your personal journal. I.E: dickingsE-MAIL: Your e-mail for mod contact records! PLURK&MESSENGER(S): CHARACTERS PLAYED: Characters you currently play in holyrelic!character. CHARACTER NAME: Your character's name. SERIES: The series your character is from; anime, manga, book, television, video game, you name it! Just give us a link. CANON POINT: The point in time that your character is being applied from. APPEARANCE: A link to an image, and/or an optional description if there's anything not covered in the image. DESIRED CLASS & REASONING: The class you'd like your character to be! We ask that you follow any canon inclination towards fighting types and state what they were previously, but if your character is someone that has never held a sword before, never took karate, and comes from a regular world with no magic, please provide a brief reasoning as to why you've picked what class you did! PREVIOUSLY IN HOLYRELIC: ONLY FOR PLAYERS FROM HR'S LAST INCARNATION! Please note what their halved level will be and the three event items you'd like to keep. :) (if this doesn't apply to you-- 98% of you-- just remove this line. ♥) PERSONALITY: Your character's personality; this needs to be written by you, though! We'd like at least two solid paragraphs, although three would be great! samples. FIRST-PERSON SAMPLE: A first-person sample-- or a journal/action post-- in the game's context. Anything you might use as a post in the game would be just fine here, but you don't need to use what you put in your application as your first post! Please do keep in mind that while journal posts are more natural to write for samples, we have no network in The World-- everything is face to face. All entries to the main community will be action posts! :) THIRD-PERSON SAMPLE: A third-person sample-- or log style-- that accurately displays your character's personality and motivations. Setting doesn't matter! We just ask that you please not write a sample about your character first arriving, because it greatly limits their usual personality and reactions. We aren't too particular about length but please write at least two or three paragraphs so we have something to work with! Also, if you've previously been accepted with another character and you're currently in the game, you do NOT need to write a third-person sample! |

Rose Lalonde | Homestuck | Reserved 2/2
FIRST-PERSON SAMPLE:
[ Rose notes how long she had been investigating the area. Logically, she was at a disadvantage. Anyone could guess a long-ranged spellcaster with limited magic was a nice target. Yet, Rose had to go onward. She was on a quest, after all. Escorting an 'NPC', or as she viewed it, a townfolk towards their destination. ]
Do you really think a small wood spoon could provide you much protection, sir? I hate to sound rude, but unless there is a bowl in need of stirring, I don't think you'll be able to defend yourself.
Just please keep up.
[ Her steps quickened, seeing the camp sight in the distance. She'd give anything to have a downtime. Perhaps to collect notes or write diary entries. It was all simply childish, but it was something she felt obligated to do. A history of her triumphs. ]
Note to self, attempt to scavenge any drops that could be beneficial to not only my own party members but myself as well.
[ Pausing, a slight chill down her spine. Something seemed a bit off. Perhaps as if she was being watched. ]
This can't be good. Go onward towards the village, I'll join you shortly...
[ With a summoned spellbook, there was much to do, but how to go about it...? Hmm. ]
THIRD-PERSON SAMPLE:
Slumber was an enemy. It betrayed her thoughts and processes of time and space. It distorted any logical aspect of what she wanted and who she seemed to be. Once, a little daughter then reborn into a dreaming Seer. It was complicated, at the very least, and it had become a problem to sleep. A fear.
Her form laid flat against the soft hay, noting how realistic the cyberspace time fragments felt against her. Daring to drift her gaze upward into the sky, Rose hummed herself a faint tune. The song was unknown to her, a book written by an unknown writer and a delicacy created by a faceless chef.
The tune soothed her, urging her on like a lullaby.
"You know, we should be able to cover more tracks in the morning. I don't have an opposition of sleeping or relaxing. Do you?"
She awaited an answer from the one in her company, whomever that tended to be.
"It would be nice to sleep for once. The landscape is absolutely astounding but it doesn't ease my nerves. I'm starting to believe nothing will."
She admitted, stroking her own bare forearm. Her mind always tended to race it's own marathon, attempting to trip her up even when things seemed optimistic at best. She had grown so use to doubting her actions, yet in some odd way, find pride in them. Mistakes were going to be made regardless, but Rose felt the need to grow out of them like a child outgrowing clothes.
"Do you believe things will benefit from this game? Will we 'win' a game with a level cap?" She sounded sarcastic and bitter, sighing heavily.
"I can only hope I can learn to dream of an answer."
ACCEPTED
WELCOME to Holy Relic! There are a few things we'd like to ask of you before jumping in, so please read below and head on over to our welcome post with some ideas for journal setup and a slightly more detailed rehash of the steps below.
(one.) Create your character journal if you haven't already done so, and join the following game communities:
(two.) Comment to our taken series list if your canon hasn't already been posted (or you're an original character, in which case they go in the 'original characters' series post!).
(three.) We have an AIM chat at holyrelic that everyone is more than welcome to join, but if you don't want invites, just let a mod know! There's also a mod plurk for events, app/reserve opening and closing, and asking for occasional quick opinions.
Lastly, we have a comprehensive permissions post with comments by anyone that needs replying to-- this would be for characters with abilities that affect others, such as ability-copying, cannibalism, random violence and so on. If your character has an ability where you'll need permission from others, please make a post in their journal and link to it on the comprehensive permissions post. Then please comment around to any listed posts and help your fellow players out!
Welcome to The World!
