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.

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. ♥)

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!

FIRST-PERSON SAMPLE:

[ Ergh... After much excavation and investigating, she has found herself toddling around throughout The World's Mac Anu. She talked to some NPCs and actual players only to find some specific things.

Apparently this is a videogame of some sort. She is familiar with the basic idea, but not in too many details. ]

I wonder if this place provides some type of tutorial. [ It wouldn't hurt to check out the Chaos Gate and the relic either. Let's start with the Chaos relic first--randomizing a field for herself, she makes sure it isn't above her level and What is that thing??

It's a normal Chim chim. ]

Don't kick me!!

[ She gives it a questioning look while staying in place. It's... it's cute. The way it fidgets around and its voice is quite adorable. ] There is no need to worry... I won't kick you, little one.

[ Who needs spheres, this thing must be adopted. ]

THIRD-PERSON SAMPLE:

Taken from my other application.

It has been a couple of weeks since her arrival to Inaba… Though her persistence of returning home dimmed, she was still hopeful as she investigated the area as much as she could on foot. So far she has scoped the books at Book-On, fully experienced possibly every place possible for dining (with what budget she could pick up from her temporary job), spent time at the temple, and lastly visited the riverbank for its stray cats. Though she heard from those around her that she can certainly fish along the river, she didn’t own nor had a fishing rod on her. Her interest was little, but then they told her that it would be a great way to train in diligence and test one’s strength.

She could not let this opportunity pass.

First, she actually checked the hobby shop only to find that they haven’t had much business for quite a while. She would not stay defeated though. After much information gathering from the small conversations in the Amagi Inn and obviously the television, she found that her destination was set on this place called “Junes”. From what she picked up from the commercial, it was a place of wonder… She would be lying if she denied that she was a bit curious. It was only natural for her to plan her trip to Junes and visit when she could manage both her money and her time.

Finally, when that day arrived… She really underestimated their slogan.

Greeted by many of the employees, she was surprised, but what really hit her were the contents of the department store. It… literally had everything. It wasn’t something like what she saw when she followed Shirou on his date with Rin. In reality, she thought that she was brought to a different city compared to the small district she was dropped off in.

“Do you need any help, miss?” An employee approached as she was watching the televisions in the electronics aisle. “You seem interested in our plasma screens, hm?”

“Ah—no—well, yes… But not exactly.” She wasn’t sure how to put it. Really, she was just watching because it was a documentary on a pride of lions. “My interest was only piqued by what was airing.”

But then Saber quickly adds, “The picture does seem crisp though.”

“You know they’re on sale!” The employee continued to nudge her towards the screens, but Saber resisted a bit as her heels tried to dig themselves into the ground.

“My purpose here is to purchase a sturdy fishing rod.” With a firm nod, she only planned on that and nothing else. “I would appreciate it if you would point me to the section where I may find them.”

“Oh, they’re down this aisle and towards your right past the cooking utensils.”

After bowing her head and thanking the employee, she goes back on trekking only to have something catch her eye—okay, perhaps many things catch her eye. Stainless steel, pots and pans, just about everything seemed to twinkle. At first, she only thought of the food that Shirou once cooked for her… and fell into nostalgia. With a small smile on her face, her resolve over the Holy Grail only strengthened. She obviously had a lot more to reminisces about, but it didn't seem like it was part of life's plan for her that day.

“Miss, would you like to test out our OXO Salad Spinner?!”

Saber jumped back quickly. Being caught off guard, she warily eyed the surprise attacking employee before relaxing. She must have lost her touch the last couple of weeks to have let something like this happen to her in a department store.

“I’m not exactly—“ She was interrupted by the sounds of the salad spinner.

“See? With just one hand you can wash and dry your salad!”

What was she even watching…? She was not entirely sure, but she appeared vexed and forgot about her objective for a small amount of time.
