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! |

CHARACTERS PLAYED: none
character.
CHARACTER NAME: Link
SERIES: Twlight Princess
CANON POINT: After he defeats Ganondorf, before the Light Spirits revive Midna. ;;
APPEARANCE: HYAAAP
DESIRED CLASS & REASONING: Blade Brandier. Do I really need to explain why?
PERSONALITY: Your typical hero type.
Growing up in a small farming village on the edge of a forest as the few teenagers in the entire village, Link plays an interesting role as the middle man for the children and the adults. If the children were misbehaving, the adults got Link to try and get them to listen. If the children wanted the adults to hear them out, Link would be the one they went to... Or rather, if the children wanted something the adults wouldn't let them have, the young herder was going to be in for a long day. Nonetheless, the hero takes to each task with a calm demeanor and seems take to his task of being middle ground happily enough.
He cares deeply for the people of the village, as well as for the animals that reside in and around Ordona. Chances are, if you're looking for him, Link will be at the field, looking after the sheep or out performing other duties (like collecting firewood with Rusl). Responsible and kind with the occasional reckless decisions that can be expected from a teenager.
Which brings up another point, Link's impulsive, often times getting into greater trouble because he wanted to protect loved ones or he wanted to help a friend. Several times in the game, he ends up being hurt or injured because he jumped headlong into danger, such as when he tried to attack Zant after exiting the Lakebed Temple. Not the smartest move by far but he meant well. He's very straightforward, and while he isn't in the dark about everything pertaining to the world, there are things that aren't as heavily emphasized in his small hometown as it would be in the city. Certainly, if you try to bring up anything technologically advanced, you'll definitely leave Link in the proverbial dark.
He's a fast learner though, and a willing student. It's just a matter of catching his attention.
samples.
FIRST-PERSON SAMPLE: [there are a few attempts to type, most of which come out very clumsily before he accidentally hits the video option]
... A light?
[such
lovely blue eyesa confused expression] Hm.... [the camera veers wildly before settling on... his pant leg? seems Link dropped the hand he was using to hold the comm device to look around, take in his environment and be thoroughly confused as only the Hero can be] Where is this? What has happened?THIRD-PERSON SAMPLE: When he had first set out, it was suppose to be as a simple errand. A display of the good relations between the small Ordon province and the Kingdom of Hyrule. However...
"Hya!"
That had been interrupted when the children - his friends - had been kidnapped. Link had followed them to the Faron Province just north of their home, but the path was blocked. The last thing he remembered from that time was being choked by a monster, then there was nothing.
"Torya!"
Waking up chained in a cell is one thing that Link had never experienced. Then again, there were many things he hadn't experienced back then. But what does one do when he wakes up chained in a cell as a wolf? And with a strange imp talking to you? Still, she did let him out so...
"Hah!"
That started their whole 'partnership'. Collecting the Fused Shadows and freeing the Spirits of Light in the process (though discovering that he, the simple farm boy, was the Hero definitely surprised Link) then saving Midna after Zant had almost destroyed her, finding the Sword of Evil's Bane, fighting through all those dungeons to gather the Mirror then defeating Zant.
He did have to admit though, the Twili themselves did not appear or act anything like Midna or Zant. They were nothing like the image the Spirit Lannaryu had painted. Another notch on his ever growing list of surprises.
"..."
Which brought them up to date with the present situation. Link and Midna had finally defeated Ganondorf, and the Princess had recovered. All was well...
Until they heard the roar behind them. As the two Hylians stared in surprise at the now cloud-like form of the Gerudo, the Twili had summoned forth the Fused Shadow.
"?! Wait, Midna-!"
He wasn't allowed to finish when the other had used her magic to transport him away. The last he saw of her was her relieved smile...
But it did not feel right, the sensation of being transported. Midna had transported them all over Hyrule plenty of times during their journal, and he knew how it felt to be transported to the Twilight Realm as well, but this? It felt as if he was going too far too fast. Just where was he going to end up?
(NO, NO NEW SAMPLE FOR YOU-- I have examples from dollsyhouse for both Sonic and Link if you want better log samples. 8| )
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!
