about applying
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.

Tieria Erde | Gundam 00 | Reserved

IC

NAME: Tieria Erde
CANON: Mobile Suits Gundam 00
CANON POINT: End of Season 2
AGE: Unknown. His actual age has never been mentioned in canon.
APPEARANCE: HERE
PERSONALITY:
Beneath the stern and strict personality of Tieria Erde is a man of duty, whose compassion for humanity set him towards the path of guiding humanity towards Innovation and the dialogue to come.

Prior to that, he was an extremely negative person who considered humans tolerable only for the sake of completing the reason of his creation. Not only was he stoic, strict, distrusting and self-righteous, he was single-minded in completing Veda-assigned missions. Because he was granted the ability to connect to Veda and given the right to the Trial System on top of being a Gundam Meister, he was extremely proud to the point that he would follow every order meticulously and see to them being completed perfectly. He did so to the point that he would put aside the feelings and well-being of his fellow Gundam Meisters. He would not hesitate to reprimand or threaten to shoot them, especially if their actions would compromise Celestial Being's objectives.

To him, Veda was an absolute existence whose orders must be completed without question. His narrow mindedness and his unwillingness to understand others made it extremely difficult for anyone to approach him. It didn't help that he had a tendency to lash out at others whenever he became angry with his own inadequacy. His relationship with his fellow Gundam Meisters and Celestial Being's crew was naturally only a scratch on the surface of an extremely hard rock.

When he was shut out of Veda, his conviction was shaken and he doubted his own raison d'être. He was weak and vulnerable despite encouragement from his teammates. His stubbornness eventually harmed Lockon Stratos/Neil Dylandy when the older Meister took a hit meant for him and injured his dominant eye, the one he used to aim while sniping. Tieria was overcome with guilt and lost his confidence as a Gundam Meister but Neil never blamed him for that accident. If it wasn't for his guidance and support, Tieria would not have found his footing again. When Tieria finally learned to accept making mistakes and to protect his fellow Meister, Neil's quest for personal vengeance caused his death. He was devastated by Neil's death, so much that he was willing to lash out and pushed the blame onto Setsuna F. Seiei.

When they lost their first armed intervention, Tieria was resigned to his fate and was willing to die in order to go to where Neil is. But he survived and, despite everything, he was able to stand again with the support of his comrades. He wanted to build the world Neil would have wanted like the rest of them, a peaceful world without war. Neil's death gave him a new purpose in life, to fight for and defend his comrades.

It was then that he learned to gradually accept his comrades and respect them and their views. Setsuna's unwavering will as a Gundam Meister, Neil's kindness and selflessness, as well as Sumeragi's will to atone for her mistakes became the foundation of Tieria's search for his own humanity. Through them, he found the will to live on and fight for the future. He learned to care for and trust his comrades, making him a more likable and approachable person with the crew. Somewhere in between, he developed a rather wry sense of humour. He also grew to trust Setsuna and stopped blaming him for Neil's death.

However, despite everything, he was an Innovade and a part of him was still loyal to Veda and Aeolia's ideal. He was briefly tempted when he received an offer to return to the 'Innovators' (a group of rogue Innovades lead by Ribbons Almark) to carry out Aeolia's plan. Eventually, he chose to believe in Neil's word and place his trust in humanity. He was willing to walk his own path and discover the truth through his own means, and accepted the human aspects of himself.

Celestial Being. Neil Dylandy and Veda. The Gundam Meisters Setsuna F. Seiei, Alleluyah Haptism and Lockon Stratos/Lyle Dylandy. Every crew member of the Ptolemaios. All of them were precious to him. When he suggested the plan to reclaim Veda, he went knowing that there was a high chance of him losing his life. And yet, he went without doubt and despite losing his life (his body to be exact, because Innovade's data/consciousness can be uploaded into Veda when their physical body died if met with the right conditions) to complete his mission, he was glad that it was because he wasn't human that he had the necessary ability to save his comrades and, by extension, humanity. He understood through the information in Veda, his true purpose of creation was to guide humanity towards Innovation and the dialogues to come. He accepted and aimed to fulfill it. They won the war and even though he lost his body, he never stopped watching over his comrades and the world from Veda.

PROJECTED CLASS: Lancer - Knight
Tieria was the designated tanker of his team and he was trained in multiple weaponry, thus the Knight class would be closest to the role he is comfortable in. He will be quite at home in Scarlett Dragons whose serious methods, driven atmosphere and their role in protecting people are similar to his ideals. Being in a guild with connection to law enforcement as well as the royals will also permits him a wider reach of accurate and untampered information first hand.

OTHER: Tieria is a Combat Type Innovade (RE: Innovade at Gundam Wiki) who is made with better battle intuition, combat reflexes and possesses higher physical abilities than regular humans as he is made with an aptitude suitable for a mobile suit pilot. His strength, agility and ability to withstand physical exertion are above average, compared to a normal human of his build. With Quantum Brainwaves, he's also able to communicate telepathically with his genetic twin Regene Regetta and by extension from having merged with Veda at his "death" (his physical body died, his consciousness and data merged with Veda, the quantum computer), Innovades.

In Dyspros, he will remain an Innovade with the majority of his hacking/computer/programming skills unusable because they are technologically based. He should still be able to use his telepathy because the skill doesn't rely on technology as well as maintaining his physical attributes.

FIRST PERSON SAMPLE:
Link 1 Link 2 Link 3

THIRD PERSON SAMPLE
Some things never changed. Even if he was in a world so foreign that he was unable to place it anywhere in his recollection of civilizations throughout history. A castle of that size and trees so huge that he had never thought possible was the first thing that greeted him when he stepped out of the castle's lobby when he first arrived. He knew at that moment that wherever he was, he was no longer where he should be. He wasn't in the digital space of Veda and neither was this a stimulation created by the quantum computer. But none of the discrepancy in his existence or this world changed who he was. So long as there was a reason for him being here, he would find it and complete it. Perhaps then, he would be able to return to where he truly belonged.

Time had passed long enough for him to attempt integrating into the society of Goldvale and yet he still feel disconnected from all that was happening around them. A society so archaic that he found to be unnecessarily inconvenient. Weapons that were no longer used in the modern society because of various reasons were commonly equipped and perfected by their wielder here. Like the lance and shield he was polishing in the comfort of his room at the Scarlett Dragons. Some day, he too, like everyone here would be able to wield them with ease.

However, none of that were more disturbing than to discover the use of magic, so prevalent in this society that he could not wrapped his mind around them. It was as if he had walked into the world of fairy tales written to warn children of the danger of the world. A thing that should have remained in the confine of stories and fantasy. But his thought was disturbed when the door opened to another Knight after a brief knock. Putting down the lance and polisher, he stood up and salute the Knight who was of higher rank than himself.

"Be at ease. You're wanted at the Guilmaster's office. Something about the thief you caught yesterday."

He raised a curious brow at that and drop the salute. "Do you know what is it about?" Arresting thieves and gamblers was a common duty for all members of the guild. And while they were normally dealt with by the higher ranking officers, he wondered why he, a newcomer was being called in about it. Did he caught someone suspicious of other crime? If he did, he wasn't aware of it, her face did not matched any on the wanted posters last he checked.

"I have no idea, they were pretty tight lipped about it. But I did heard the loots she had worth quite a bit. Must have stolen from the rich, that one. Best make haste and head over the office, least the Guildmaster will be displeased."

That made her another of one of those self-proclaimed hero of the people, stealing from the rich for the poor. But what caught his attention was the Guildmaster's involvement in the case. He nodded to the Knight and promptly headed to the bathroom to clean up and followed the Knight out to the Guildmaster's office.

And you're all set! Once you've done all of the required things above, feel free to jump into the intro log and start playing! Even if you don't use this post, please go over the information there, since it contains important information for characters to know.

Thank you for applying at Dyspros!

Additionally, as a note to this section: "In Dyspros, he will remain an Innovade with the majority of his hacking/computer/programming skills unusable because they are technologically based. He should still be able to use his telepathy because the skill doesn't rely on technology as well as maintaining his physical attributes."

While he will remain an Innovade biologically, he will not have the ability of telepathy. Also to make sure that this is clear, he'll still technically have his hacking/computer/programming skills, but they'll have no use, since there is nothing that these skills can be used for in Vernesse. Thank you!
