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 NAME: Sonic the Hedgehog
SERIES: 20 YEARS AND COUNTING
CANON POINT: After Black Knight, before he embarks on Colours (and Generation aaaaah)
APPEARANCE: Fight me... okay, fien
DESIRED CLASS & REASONING: Twin Blade - Sonic's main trait is speed. SPEED BOOST SPIN DASH and that's something that has driven the series for 20 years now. The blades are a nice substitute for his quills too, otherwise, he'd have probably been fine as a Tribal Grappler.
PERSONALITY: "I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog and I have no master except the wind that blows free!"
One can easily make a metaphor using 'Sonic' and 'the wind'; they're practically the same thing at times. Hardly one to stay in one spot longer than he has to, he's constantly on the move and always in search of his next adventure. Anything Sonic does is done on a whim and very rarely does he follow orders from anyone; he has no master except his own heart. He's also a hero through and through, not caring if his actions will ruin someone's image of him so long as he believes it's the right thing to do.
"Guess I can't be the hero all the time!"
Carefree and charismatic, he tends to make friends and comrades easily. It's practically part of his job description, though his own attitude stops him from leaving those poor introverts alone. He falls into the Hero trope very easily, but don't confuse him for some of the other shounen heroes or video game heroes; Sonic's been at this for 20 years and has a million continuities, ONE DOES NOT MESS WITH SOMEONE WHO COULD POTENTIALLY SHOOT LASERS OUT OF HIS EYES!
Moving along...
Like all heroes, Sonic has courage and confidence to spare, often times setting aside his own goals to help someone (or some worlds) in need. All you have to do is ask and he'll be there in a blink of an eye! His confidence gets the better of him sometimes where he'll underestimate a new enemy and land himself in quite a bit of trouble. But through the force of will capable of rivaling even the great Kamina, Sonic will pull through. It's through his will alone that Sonic managed to avoid the effects of Dark Gaia on him after his werehog transformation. Sonic doesn't save the world just because it's something to pass the time, he saves the world because he does genuinely care.
Helping people is kinda of a way of life for him.
There are few things in the world that the blue blur hates but those things that he does dislike, he tends to hate quite a bit. First and foremost is oppression. Considering how Sonic's entire theme seems to be based around something that's undeniably free, it's easy to see why he hates those who would take advantage of others. It's just not on. To a lesser degree, Sonic doesn't like seeing people blue (haha) and will often try to cheer them up or at least attempt to pull them out of that funk of theirs in - what he considers - the best way possible. He's pretty good at reading people when he has to. Unfortunately, reading people and reacting in what would be considered the conventional manner seem to be two mutually exclusive subjects so far as he's concerned. Sometimes there's just no way to cheer people up but to have them punch it out.
He isn't as dumb as some people make him out to be. In a pinch, Sonic is a very capable individual (though his over confidence and 'jump before you look' attitude tends to land him in situations he can't get out of easily) and can work out plans and other things quickly. But when you have someone like Tails as a friend, why would you ever bother thinking that hard?
samples.
FIRST-PERSON SAMPLE: [over video comes the sight of a blue haired boy gesturing animatedly as he talks] All right, all right. I know, I'm a pretty popular guy! But this? This is not the way to go about it! Kidnapping is no good, folks.
But where is this place anyway? No, we can answer that later. Or I'll just have to charge through it like always. More importantly...
WHY DO I LOOK LIKE THIS? [FRANTIC GESTURES TOWARDS SELF] I am a hedgehog! Not a rat, not a knave, just a hedgehog (and a pretty awesome one to boot) but this just takes the cake. I mean, really!? [dramatic sigh] Guess there's just no helping it.
THIRD-PERSON SAMPLE: Waking up next to some strange glowing Gate after spending a better part of the last hour running away from Amy wasn't one of the strangest things Sonic has been through. Honestly, to Sonic there were as many extraordinary happenings as there were quills on his head - which, despite appearances, was a lot - and so he'd just learned to go with the flow. Time travel? Fine. Waking up in a story book world? Cool.
Waking up as a human was definitely a first for him. It took a few seconds for it to sink in, considering the gloves in front of him gave no indication of anything off until he tried to stand up. Suffice to say, suddenly growing a head taller than he was five seconds ago was disorienting!
"Whoa, did anyone see the hammer that hit me?" he asked as he raised a hand to his face. Yup, this definitely took the cake for being the strangest wake up call. Once he got his feet under him again though (which was, embarrassingly, taking a bit more time than normal), Sonic was sure that he'd be fine. If he could still run, then it didn't really matter what he was after all.
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!
