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: Kaworu Nagisa
SERIES: Neon Genesis Evangelion
CANON POINT: After Episode 24 (post-death)
APPEARANCE: bam
DESIRED CLASS & REASONING: Blade Brandier; In the anime, Kaworu is only ever shown using his AT Field and some vaguely psychic abilities to manipulate Unit 02 and float around (likely also some manifestation of hiis AT Field). He doesn't really have a particular weapon in canon, but none of the magic classes seem to particularly suit him. In the Gakuen Datenroku spin-off manga, however, his Eva manifested as a sword, and overall the balanced and elegant nature of the class suit him well.
PERSONALITY: (Just as a note, I'll be playing Kaworu from the anime series, as there's a fairly significant difference in his portrayal in the anime and various manga serious, but parts of his characterization will likely be supplemented by details from the different manga series and such, because there's only so much to go on based on the one episode he was in.)
Kaworu tends to have a very inhuman feel to him, mostly because (and this should barely count as a spoiler anymore, given the age of the series) he's an Angel. By the rules of the canon, this means something a bit more sinister and threatening to the human race than the normal definition of the word, but Kaworu tends to embody the classic idea of it -- he's kind, gentle, graceful, protective, wise, and highly sympathetic towards humans in general. He comes across as a bit detached, just an observer to all else going on in the world, as before being given a human form it's likely all he could do was watch.
He's incredibly curious, and while he has a sort of spiritual bent for obvious reasons, he's very fond of human beliefs and sciences as well. He's fascinated by all of mankind's creations and thoughts and loves learning about them all, everything from music and the arts to neuroscience and psychology. He treats everything with some measure of enthusiasm, overjoyed just to see and understand what humans are capable of thinking and creating and feeling. He doesn't seem to fully understand everything that humans do and the way the society works, though, likely due to being kept isolated and contained for most of his life, and it leads to a lot of personal bubbles being popped and a good deal of confusion on his end.
Though he was meant to initiate Third Impact and reduce all of humanity into a single consciousness, Kaworu doesn't seem to desire that end, preferring the way humans can grow and change and feel and be hurt and happy and connect with others in the most beautiful ways. He developed a quick attachment to Shinji after recognizing his loneliness and desire to be loved, something so very human and delicate that it fascinated Kaworu, and he loved Shinji unconditionally, in a manner rather befitting of an "angel". Though he loved all of humankind, Kaworu seemed to find it plenty worthwhile to take care of and make just one person happy, and as they were going to sleep the night Shinji stayed over, he said he felt he might have been born just to meet him.
Of major significance to Kaworu's character is his being Tabris, the Angel of Free Will. Even though he was supposed to basically end humanity, he displayed signs of being against it entirely, and was relieved when Shinji came to stop him. He didn't want to destroy the life he'd come to love so much, and so he asked Shinji to kill him. Ironically enough, though he was supposed to embody free will, he had no choice in what he could do while alive under SEELE's command, so he expressed his will in the way he died, by the hand of someone he cared for deeply, and so humankind could live.
samples.
FIRST-PERSON SAMPLE: [here's yet another person foreign to The World, unsure as to what brought them here and looking more than a little out of place. but this one seems at ease despite the situation, casually strolling through the paths of mac anu and smiling at everything, looking relaxed and unanxious and just generally happy to be alive.
which he is, of course. life was amazing, and he'd loved experiencing it, and so while dying had been for the greater good and all, it was rather nice to still be alive. he couldn't feel the instinctual pull towards adam, however faint distance could make it, so there was nothing to worry about here. nothing to do but explore and marvel over everything, wondering vaguely at why he was here but not all the concerned about it. humanity was safe, shinji would live, so if it meant he was here for whatever reason then so be it. it is what it is and all that.
idly, he remarked on the beauty of the island structure that could be seen distantly from the harbor dock, turning with a smile to the person that just happened to be standing next to him, and was didn't seem particularly bothered when they gave him an odd look and walked away -- the lilin had such peculiar and intricate rules to dictate when it was "right" to speak to others. it was fascinating, the variety of reactions that human displayed based on slight changes in circumstance, and he made a mental note to experiment with it further.
it looked like he'd have plenty of time anyway, in this place. he could enjoy it while the world permitted.]
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!
