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! |

character.
CHARACTER NAME: Mia
SERIES: Golden Sun
CANON POINT: Almost immediately after Isaac wins Colosso; their party has been tasked by Babi to find Lemuria.
APPEARANCE: The Angel of Mercury. Her build is about average for a 17-year-old, but a little on the slower side; her vibrant aqua blue hair and eyes are a sign of her Mercury Clan lineage. I have no explanation for the ahoge; it shows up on exactly zero of her sprites and just shouldn't be there. She is also usually not that confident. The World also decided to add ornamental wings to her heavy robes.
DESIRED CLASS & REASONING: Harvest Cleric. Game-mechanics-wise, her base class is healing-oriented, although it lacks the Revive technique. She also acted as Imil's healer, thanks to the disappearance and/or death of any older Mercury Clan members. She can equip only maces and staves. (Equipment in Golden Sun is independent of class).
PERSONALITY: Mia is kind and empathic thanks to her life as a healer. However, there is a vaguely melancholy air about her; she is one of only four remaining members of an ancient bloodline. The other three are her cousin Alex, who betrayed their heritage by helping to activate the Mercury Lighthouse they were sworn to protect, and two young children named Justin and Megan, who serve as the healers of her hometown Imil now that Mia is traveling with Isaac, Garet, and Ivan.
She met the other three Vale Warriors (as they would later be known) as they were trying to recover the Elemental Stars, artifact catalysts necessary to activate the Lighthouses. After determining that their respective goals in the lighthouse were complementary, she came to trust them enough to join them after she failed to prevent Alex, Saturos, and/or Menardi from lighting the lighthouse, exhibiting her strong sense of duty.
People's perception of her tends to be as a revered figure; her healing powers have given her a fair amount of fame, and a reputation as an angel (and later, a goddess), a reputation that she will not reacquire in The World largely due to the fact that people with healing powers are common - both clerics and other classes that can use Repth.
samples.
FIRST-PERSON SAMPLE:
My bag is empty, except for a... thing. I don't know what it does, or if it does anything at all. I put it back. I have a feeling I'll be needing it, somehow.
I've never seen the room I'm in, and I just woke up. I've been taken somewhere.
But I'm not alone. Someone has come up to me. His smile and mostly-closed eyes tell me this man is not to be trusted.
"Welcome to The World", he says, before immediately turning around and walking away. I stare at him, as the sound of his footsteps recede into nothing, and he opens the door, filling the room with light.
What is this place, and why am I here?
Still stunned, I turn to face the center of the room. Another person appears, in a show of lights that reminds me of Isaac's 'Retreat' psynergy.
"Excuse me..."
[What will you do?]
THIRD-PERSON SAMPLE:
Mia found herself having difficulty sleeping.
Ever since what had happened at Mercury Lighthouse, she couldn't help thinking that she could have done more to protect it, and about why Alex had allowed - no, helped - those Mars Clan warriors to light it. Alchemy would bring about the end of the world, according to Isaac, and by extension the Wise One. Could that be wrong? ...no, it couldn't be.
Babi and his grab at immortality was one of the more recent issues that had been thrust upon her, and her Adept companions. Did any man have the right to live for as long as he already has? He can't have been lying about Lemuria, but could she and her friends really spare the time to find it?
Of course, reclaiming the Stars was first. They were going to set off for Lalivero with Iodem in the morning. With any luck, they'd be able to catch up to Alex, who held them. The road would be perilous. Her friends needed her. Isaac could heal, but not as effectively as she could.
And she was going to keep them alive.
ACCEPTED + NOTE
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!
(a note.) While we accepted this application and realize the explanation for a first-person sample is a little vague (and have since adjusted it to be more clear), we just want to be clear that the intended format was either a network journal entry format or an action post format (which the game will make use of). Welcome to The World!
Re: ACCEPTED + NOTE - Thank you
I'll be sure to get it right next time.
