If you'd like to apply for a character, you're in the right place! As of June 24, applications are now always open. Fill out one of the two forms on this page depending on the type of character you're applying for and post it in the comments of this entry. While you fill out your application, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Please read over the rules and FAQ before you begin to fill out your application—This will save you headaches later!
- Check the taken and reserved pages to make sure that your character isn't listed on either (unless you reserved them, naturally).
- Please check your application for spelling and grammatical errors. While we're hardly going to reject for a misspelled word or two, a large amount of errors makes us much more likely to reject an application.
- Plagiarism is unacceptable. If we find an application has been plagiarized, it will result in immediate rejection and a ban from the game.
- You may app ONE character per round, for a total of THREE characters in the game. You may have two characters from the same canon provided they have little or no interaction in canon.
- If you're already in the game, all of your current characters must have passed the last AC to apply for a new character. If this is your first character, don't worry about this, of course!
- When posting your application, please format the subject line of your first comment in some form of Character Name - Series - Reserved/Unreserved in that order. Do not link to your application.
- Original characters are allowed, but their applications are judged to a much higher standard than canon characters. We want to make sure that the character and their world are thought-out and developed. This isn't meant to discourage such characters in the slightest, so all this really means is take care to explain the world your character comes from especially, since all we have to judge them by is what you tell us!
- If we ask for a revision, don't worry! Usually we just need clarification on something before we decide on your application. If you are asked for one, you have five days to supply the requested revision.

CHARACTERS IN GAME: N/A
Yuri Lowell | Tales of Vesperia | Reserved
CANON: Tales of Vesperia
CANON POINT: After breaking out of jail in Part 1.
AGE: 21
APPEARANCE: Imgur
PERSONALITY: At first glance, you may see Yuri as something simple; a simple basic person on the outside. But actually, he's quite comparable to a maze. A maze that seems like you could finish it in 4 minutes flat, but then you find yourself trying to figure it out for a good 3 hours.
Yuri's true intentions and motivations are always up in the air and hidden behind lies, deception, and coldness. This is the "Yuri" he shows off to mostly everyone, in attempts to avoid doing things he'd rather let someone else do, or to get himself out of things he doesn't want to be in. This "Yuri" also shows his own sense of humor, which is shown by teasing and snark. He'll tease just to see what kind of reaction he'll get from you, and depending on what that might be, he'll either keep going with it from time to time and laugh at you, or ease up on it--he knows when to stop and doesn't take it so far. If you hang around this "Yuri" long enough, you'll find yourself either pulling your hair out over how simple and outspoken he puts out to be, or noticing how easy he truly is read. He's honestly an open book, just that it's a book you have to get used to reading.
Lazy as he is, he's also a quite the show-off. And there's no point in showing off something if it's not all that impressive. Yuri is fit and active, exercising as a hobby more than a chore. His Bodhi Blastia helps his fighting skills during battles, allowing him to use Artes that he didn't normally learn through the knights. Although he's good with a sword, he CAN fight without it, as shown in some of his Artes, like Brutal Fang (Mash that attack button for a flurry of fists to the face!). He can hold his own in a fight, even if the power difference is highly noticeable.
Bringing it up, Yuri also has a good idea of battle techniques. If Yuri sees an example of whatever it may be, chances are he'll pick up on the move if it proves of interest to him. In a matter of seconds. It's how he learned Fatal Strike from Clint, without him even knowing he taught it to him. He sometimes doesn't even need to see it, give him some notes on the arte, and he'll learn it through trial and error, or just Wild Mass Guessing. (See: Tiger Blade.)
He picks up information easily and is also capable of noticing things others don't.
With this "Yuri," anything that requires way too much thinking, he doesn't do unless he really has to. Although I say "this Yuri," this is probably where his true being is actually at. He doesn't like thinking too hard about things, and can't stand looking at something too long. He's not exactly book-smart either, as said by he himself during a sidequest with Giganto Monsters. If he doesn't completely understand something, he'll ask about it.
As strange and cynical as he is, there's another side to our current "Yuri" that may catch you off--he's oddly optimistic. Rarely. Given the situation and if his friends/people close to him are feeling down, he won't mind giving a pep talk or two. He's not full of happy and cheer, but he'll give you the good side of things in attempt to cheer you up. Of course, this is if he likes you enough.
It is also really hard to break this guy. At the most, you can anger him, but it'd be a hundred years before you could break him. He doesn't let most things try to drag him down, and instead pushes forward. What's done is done, and we have to move on. He also can be pretty happy during the most darkest things, as Duke even comments on that during the final moments before the final battle begins.
Although he may do things like that, this actually leads into another part of Yuri to delve into. This "Yuri" has a large self-esteem issue, placing others as far more important than he himself. This is the "Yuri" that you find beyond the slacker he plays, and isn't shown to much of anyone. He can't take a compliment without completely handwaving it, and he doesn't like it when people are worried about him. He thinks that there's bigger and better things to worry about than someone like him, but despite all this, he's actually quite the worry-wart himself. Of course, he won't show it, but if he were to ask if you're okay, he probably actually means "Oh my God, are you alright don't do that again god you're an idiot let me find some bandages for you are you hungry here I'll carry you you didn't break anything did you"
Funny enough, taking our Yuris into account, there's one more hidden "Yuri" that isn't ever seen to light unless under heavy circumstances. This is the dark side of himself, or rather the "take matters into your own hands, may it be just or unjust" side of him.
There's no bad intentions. Yuri believes that the corruption and power of the royalty/empire has gone on long enough. He has decided to take matters into his own hands if need be. He's seen what laws can do, and how people who're evil can just get away with being evil. They can do whatever they want--punish the innocent knowing that they can't do much to them. Yuri absolutely despises that, driving to "dirty his hands" by killing the evil that the law doesn't deal with. Although he knows that he's becoming what he hates the most, becoming a criminal in the eyes of everyone is something he doesn't care about. The only thing he does care about are the people. If someone can be saved by his actions, he'll be okay with whatever happens to him afterwards. You could say he has a strong sense of justice, even if it is a sort of an "out of whack" kind of justice.
"How would you go about punishing the villains that the law can't touch?"
As weird and dorky as this guy is, we can't forget that he's bone and flesh. Although he's not going down without a fight, you CAN indeed take this guy down. He's no monster or beast. As a human, taking him on under certain conditions around him do matter, as shown after the Outbreaker fight in the desert; the whole cast couldn't stand from it due to heat and drought, including Yuri himself.
All considering, he really, really cares about the people around him. The happy face he puts up is a huge facade, and you rarely ever know if Yuri is truly upset or not. He just doesn't want anyone worrying about him when there's bigger problems to be worried about, and usually, he doesn't need anyone worrying. He can solve his own problems himself he thinks, and if he can't, he'll keep it to himself. Or maybe even do both (See: I killed Ragou and Cumore and none of you have to hear about it.). Man's got a lot of pride, and he'd be damned to let go of it easily.

This one's an oddity, as not only is Yuri a speed+strength guy, from his canon point he's not going to be entirely interested in guilds unless someone gives him more information about them. Yuri's fighting style is rather unique, so it goes without saying it would be tough to classify it. However, Yuri has a strong sense of justice and protecting people, but in his own way. He is weak to elemental magic for sure, but he's not a magical type, so learning skills as a Punisher will likely not happen. I've plotted with Asuna-mun to be dragged into Warrior's Guild, so I've decided to take him on as is with planned subclasses to fit his style of battle.
OTHER: None that I haven't already added above.

THIRD PERSON SAMPLE "You've gotta be kidding..."
It was the dead of the night. The first night of his initial dragging into the Warrior's guild. And his first mission as a initiate.
He didn't really like this day, to say the least.
Yuri was guarding the garden, right in front of the cucumbers since apparently that was the most important. However, to say guarding is probably the least descriptive thing to say, as Yuri was doing that as much as the air passed through the crops. His blade sheathed and adjacent to him, he lays down on a patch of grass, not even facing or catching a glimpse at the "protected" cucumbers. "So they got me on vegetable duty, huh. Geez, this is just like the knights, isn't it..." he yawns. First impression of guilds, not so good.
"Not too much I can do about this, huh," Yuri contemplated, considering how the place works, it's like it's run by guilds. A sigh completes, before he drifts off into his own thoughts. A castle that grants a wish if you reach the top. He wonders if that's what everyone is after. While he remains neutral and uninterested in the gift atop of the castle, he definitely knows what comes with something as divine as that is. A person should never have the power to have anything they'd like to come true, as only bad could come out of it. Corruption due to power. A special talent to make them above all others.
"Heh," A scoff, "Wonder if it's actually up there though. Love to see the look on that guy's face." His voice then switches, almost comically, into something very high pitched, "'Thanks for playing! But your wish is in another castle!'"
"Or something like that."
Switch: off. Yuri returns back to slacking off, realizing that he was this bored to do something so...ridiculous.
