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! |

Tachigami | Okami | Not Reserved
NAME: Yen
JOURNAL:
E-MAIL: leaflette@hotmail.com
CONTACT INFO:
CHARACTERS PLAYED: N/A
character.
CHARACTER NAME: Tachigami
SERIES: Okami
CANON POINT: Post-game, but pre-Okamiden
APPEARANCE: Squeak... and squeak? Her human form looks like that of a petite young girl, around 10-12 years old. The red markings on her body and clothing represent her godhood; only those with belief in gods/spirits can see them. Otherwise, she looks normal to the naked eye, save for retaining the mouse ears in her human appearance.
DESIRED CLASS & REASONING:
Blade Brandier. This choice is based more on Tachigami's signature brush technique, Power Slash rather than the Edge Crusher sized sword. It is performed in game by drawing a straight, horizontal line across a target using what the game refers to as the Celestial brush and ink. It does not deal as much damage compared to the other brush skills, and in most cases an enemy has to be rendered vulnerable in order to be used efficiently. It does make for a surprisingly versatile technique to outside of battle however (slicing treasure chests, rocks, scrolls, etc.), matching up with the well-rounded build of a Blade Brandier.
PREVIOUSLY IN HOLYRELIC:
(ONLY FOR PREVIOUS PLAYERS FROM HR'S LAST INCARNATION!)PERSONALITY:
Tachigami represents the mouse of the zodiac and thirteen Brush Gods, who serve under the sun goddess Amaterasu and refer to her as their Mother. Like her siblings, Tachi has a strong sense of duty and responsibility. Half-hearted isn’t in her vocabulary, and she's quite methodical in her tasks. She has a slight air of audacity, coming from years of experience and godly. Still, they're meant to help people with their abilities. While slicing things in two is not exactly at majestic as wind fire, etc., she's a resourceful girl. In fact, she's likely to use for own personal convenience when available.
However, Tachi is not as formal as one would expect. In game, when the brush gods reunite with Amaterasu after a centuries-long absence, they give her the title “Amaterasu, origin of all that is good and mother to us all”. Even the gods who spontaneously attacked her did that. Tachi is one of two exceptions to it. Instead, she greet the wolf with “Well, well, well... if it isn’t Mother Amaterasu,” Rather than be an archaic poet, she prefers a more direct, if not somewhat whimsical way of speaking. While it's better at getting her feelings and point across, her honest attitude can lead to her coming off as a sharp-witted, precocious brat.
On the topic of difficult kids, Tachi can certainly be one, despite her actual age. In her world, it requires ea considerable amount of faith and spiritual fervor to recognize and have contact with the gods. As a result, she isn't used to true face to face communication with others. She keeps to her own agenda, and even to her family she doesn't easily divulge her personal issues. Her devotion to her goals lead to something of perfectionist mode that others may have difficulty stopping. It comes from her desire to be taken seriously by everyone, even if it requires aggression. So yes, the cute rodent has a bite. But to those she opens up to, she'll treat them like family and fiercely stay by their side.
samples.
FIRST-PERSON SAMPLE:
[In a sea of players and NPCs, this little mouse has found a way to escape being swept away by the crowds. She's sitting atop a ledge of some sort, looking below to where the Relic had fallen during her climb]
There's so many people...
[Her wide eyes hint at her awe. With the way she's peering at passerby, it's easy to tell she's looking for someone. The height of her position may be an improvement to the ground floor, but her efforts prove unsuccessful. She sighs and rests her head in her hands]
Chuu... You think they'd stick out a bit more. I guess not.
[She pushes off and lands onto a nearby box. She picks up her Relic and starts the process of making her way through the street.]
THIRD-PERSON SAMPLE:
Light footsteps tread through the meadow grass, with a gentle breeze at her back. As interesting as the bustle of Mac Anu was, Tachi would still prefer the areas and the out-of-the-way atmosphere they give. Some places brought back the sweet memories of home, like Hana Valley or Tsuta Ruins. She's always wanted to go on an adventure through those places like her mother, and this was close. A tiny bit of her envied that freedom Amaterasu had.
The pleasant walk can't last though. An enemy spawns, baring sharp claws at the girl. There's a more recent memory coming back, one mentioning that this place had higher leveled monsters. She's not worried though, and draws her blade. Harder foes meant a more interesting fight, and maybe even treasure. Unwieldy as this body felt sometimes to her, she trusted in being able to flee when things got rough also. Pretty scenery and good experience... This is an area she should keep note of for future reference.
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!
