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! |

Re: Ganymede | Olimpos | not reserved 2/3
Ganymede had heard from his brother that the Gods would steal him away, due to his charm. The young prince couldn't believe it, eyes widening as he listened to his brother talk. He had lived the majority of his life, relying on the Gods and their benevolence. Soon, the prince understood his position, he would be offered to the Gods as a sacrifice. The people of his country had no choice, the Gods had decided his fate. At Ganymede's coming-of-age ceremony, Apollo swiftly stole the young prince away from his family. The image of wrath was burned into his mind, when Apollo let him take a gander at his brother before leaving the place he loved.
He arrived at Zeus' garden, which had been created for the sole purpose of being aesthetically pleasing to the eye for Ganymede. The flowerbed stretched across the terrain, there was no true end or beginning. Ganymede was destined to rot alone there, together with the flowers. Apollo had given him the gift of immortality, along with a sky covered with stars. Ganymede was far from interested in the garden, the only goal he truly had, was to escape from his place and end it all. He desperately yearned for an end. No such thing would ever happen, since there was no escape from Zeus' place.
The first days, Ganymede referred to Apollo as a demon, who needed to be murdered. He assumed that Apollo was a liar, because he had told him he couldn't escape the place. The prince strongly believed that the actual Lord Apollo wouldn't do this to him. Ganymede was shocked and soon realized that there was no exit. Apollo was correct, but he didn't want to acknowledge that. He searched the entire domain for an exit to this madness. He saw that the sun didn't rise and the stars didn't move. The prince didn't understand where he was. It must've been trickery. For a long time, Ganymede doubted Apollo's words, he longed for the truth. Apollo simply replied that there was no truth, much to Ganymede's dissatisfaction.
The next realization was that he was unable to die. Apollo had stabbed him in the chest, however nothing happened. Ganymede felt pain when Apollo had attempted to murder him, but that was all. He returned to the place he was caged in. Ganymede started to stab himself as well, in order to kill time. Apollo mocked the prince for his idiocy, the prince could care less. Killing time had become more important to him than the fear of pain or death. Ganymede no longer feared death, he yearned for it all to come to an end. He missed his brothers dearly and was proud of the way they fought without fear of death. He too, wanted to become like that. As he kept dying and returning back to where he was, his fear of death completely vanished. He had come to terms that death was no longer something to be afraid of. He was ready to die.
Ganymede was ashamed of himself and his actions. He hated himself more, every time he tried to commit suicide. He had made himself prone to anguishing over his thoughts. Although he was unable to escape according to Apollo, Ganymede continuously questioned him about the place and the Gods themselves. He knew he couldn't escape the place, but he still wanted to know about the Gods who he he had believed in. He was under the impression that Gods knew everything about this world, including the truth and lies of it. This impression ended when Apollo told him that Gods do not know everything yet.
The prince no longer feared the Gods until one peculiar moment. When Zeus had arrived, Ganymede was thoroughly afraid as his arrival felt like an earthquake. Never had he felt such an indescribable feeling. The God who had descended to visit him, was his master and capturer. Zeus was the only God whom Ganymede would not insult. Zeus never angered him, not even later on. He had insulted Apollo several times, belittling him. The presence of Apollo angered Ganymede, he had no intention to be courteous to him. Ganymede was easily angered, it did not take two words to anger the Trojan prince. He would quickly shout insults to those who did not respect him. He sulked daily like a child, he was never impressed by Apollo's words or actions.
When he met Hades, a spark of hope returned to him. Hades was in charge of the depths below the earth, the domain where light wouldn't touch. He told him that every domain beneath, belonged to him. Alas, Hades was not eager to help him and let him escape the Garden to rot below. Ganymede felt toyed with, by both Apollo and Hades. He was being dead serious each time he asked a question to them, but they continued to poke fun of him. The Gods riled him up until no end, only to disappoint him. He was made into a playtoy, a cheap pet kept in a garden. He was referred to as an object to overthrow Zeus, which had been Apollo and Hades their plan all along.
Re: Ganymede | Olimpos | not reserved 3/3
FIRST-PERSON SAMPLE: This is anything but hilarious. I was fine where I was, I don't want to be here! [ The prince was frustrated. Ganymede wasn't certain of his location, he had never seen such a strange place before. Perhaps in his dreams, but he didn't imagine it to become reality. ]
H-hello? [ He stuttered, Ganymede wasn't familiar with the concept of socializing any longer. Maybe there was someone who was kind enough to aid him. He had to seek help to escape this foreign place. This wasn't the time to stand still and accept fate. ]
Can anyone help me, please? [ He had decided to ignore the strange object in his hand. ]
THIRD-PERSON SAMPLE: "Give that back, you sick fiend! That isn't a toy, that's my sword!" Ganymede shouted at the sun God, his iridescent eyes glowered with contempt. How long would it take for Ganymede to snap after what Apollo had done to him? The prince was sick of his pranks, he didn't intend to speak to a toddler any longer. This was a daily ritual at the miniature garden and he was tired of it. Ganymede relieved himself of a sigh, his anger becoming dull. He had grown accustomed to the pesky rat's presence, although he longed for the God's disappearance.
How long had he been there? Ganymede couldn't quite remember when he arrived at the garden. He could barely remember how it was before, it was too unfamiliar to him. The clear sky never changed, there was no time, no flowing water and no day and night. Every day was the same, according to him. Apollo had been visiting him every day, like a guard dog. Perhaps he was, Ganymede wasn't too sure of it. After all that Apollo had done to him, one couldn't call him such.
"Only if you grab it back, you fool!" The prince turned away from the God, only to be welcomed by an overwhelming presence. It was him, it couldn't be. His eyes widened, the prince's body felt limp as he fell onto his knees. The voice said nothing, eyes piercing through Ganymede's soul. Zeus had arrived once more to take a gander at him.
