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.

NAME: Judar
CANON: Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic (manga)
CANON POINT: Chapter 148, after his meeting with Hakuryuu and Gyokuen.
AGE: 19
APPEARANCE: One and two.

PERSONALITY: When he first appears, Judar shows up looking like your stereotypical villain, acting haughty and threatening towards innocent people he’s happened across. Of course, that isn’t all there is to him. He’s actually much more immature and childish than he seems at first. He’s basically what the internet at large likes to refer to as a “brat” and a “manchild”.

To begin with, he’s a show-off. Not only does he specifically use multiple kinds of magic at once to impress Sinbad, the ridiculously strong king of foreign nation, he uses ones that are known to be difficult to use on their own, just so he can say, “How’s this!? Isn’t it amazing?”

He starts a fight with another Magi he’s only just met, because he wants to prove how much better he is than this new guy. His large ego makes him act impulsively, which ultimately blows up in his face. He doesn’t learn from this at all, save to put the Magi on his “people who I need to beat to prove I’m better” list. Fitting with his ego, he’s a terrible liar. Though he may be able to act shocked or upset, it takes only minutes for that to crumble into laughter.

He’s easily bored and dismissive of things he does not take interest in. This applies to basically everything in his life, from events to places, and most especially, to people. So, what does interest a guy like this? Mostly, he enjoys war and violence in any form, and he even outright states that war is what he really likes to see. Because of this, it only makes sense that Judar is incredibly fascinated with strong people, who he treats the best of everyone he meets because they can battle in the most brutal and interesting ways. He collects the strongest people he can find and builds them up to be even stronger by having them conquer dungeons, which grant great magical power and riches. He’s kind of like an evil Pokemon trainer, but with people instead of a team of Eevees.

As for everyone else, he literally does not care one bit about those he considers “weak”. They’re cannon fodder and stepping stones to what he wants, and he could sacrifice thousands of them to his wars without batting an eye. He especially dislikes the other Magi, likely because he doesn’t like sharing his strongest people, who could change alliances any time they want to if they chose. He does not want to share, and he does not want to respect other Magi, who could become threats to his way of doing things and his chosen warriors.

Judar likes to prove his own superiority through shows of force and is especially aggressive in picking fights. He hates losing or feeling like he’s not being properly respected as a Magi, and his ego demands that he either remedy the situation by defeating the offender in some way, or venting it by destroying things he knows the person he thinks insulted him loves.

Of course, he has his less dangerous side, as well. If he doesn’t want to eat alone and can’t find someone to eat with, he’ll make a point of travelling around the palace and throwing food at everyone he meets, especially the royal family. If one of the princesses asks him for advice, he’ll make things up to make himself look smart and will embarrass her later, such as suggesting she bathe with pigs in some obscure beauty ritual.

In the end, you could compare Judar to a cat. He’s picky about his food, he throws tantrums when he doesn’t get what he wants, and god forbid you not read his mind about exactly what he expects from you and do it in a timely manner. He likes to pretend he’s independent so he’ll be left alone, but the second you stop paying attention to him, he’s in your face again. He demands attention by behaving the way he thinks will make you like him, and if you don’t do what he wants, he’ll start behaving in the worst ways possible just to make sure you’re watching.

PROJECTED CLASS: As his specialty in canon is magic, he’s almost certain to join the Mage Guild. He has the personality and skill to try for either the Summoner or the Shaman class, and which one he ends up in will be up to however he’s feeling at that moment. His style of magic in canon more closely resembles the Summoner’s abilities, so it’s likely that he’ll choose that class due to familiarity and the broader skills available to him in that class that will make him feel more powerful.
OTHER: Canon abilities: Judar is a Magi, which is basically the top-tier of all magic users on the planet in his canon. With this rank, which one is born into, Judar can perform a lot of powerful magic using a tool to focus it through. In his case, it’s a jeweled wand.

Magoi, which is basically life force that can be used in magic, can be manipulated to create various kinds of magic basic magic. Using it, Judar can create a “bolg”, which functions as a shield against magical and physical attacks to a certain degree. Though his bolg is very strong due to his own strength with magic, enough pressure (such as that of a few tons pushing on all sides) can cause it to break. Magoi can also be used to shoot out energy blast attacks, which is effective against most opponents weaker than him.

A Magi does not generally have to use their own magoi, like other magicians. The world’s life force around them (called “rukh”) naturally feeds them any magoi they might need, with the only limit being how much their body can take at a time.

By using magoi to create more complex spells, Judar has been shown to be able to manipulate lightning, ice, gravity, and wind with magic to use as attacks and for simply moving himself around more easily. He can use many of them at once, as well.

SAMPLES

FIRST PERSON SAMPLE: Previous game threads: one and two.

THIRD PERSON SAMPLE Starting out at the bottom of the ladder in the Mage’s guild doesn’t sit well with Judar. Working hard for your rank and title might be fine for everyone else, but not for him. It’s almost insulting how no one recognizes how he was born to greatness, really, but it’s even worse that his abilities have been downgraded along the way.

“Ahhh,” he yells to himself and anyone who might be listening, “this place is the worst! What’s the point of being a magi if someone can take all of that back for no reason!?”

He shakes his head and slams his hands into the bench he’s been laying on, forcing himself to sit up with a groan of annoyance. People pass him on the street, giving him strange looks, but he glares and smirks until they look away. The look on his face shows his annoyance, but he doesn’t realize that it also shows how close to snapping he is.

So, that’s the way things are now, then? Fine. He’ll just have to take advantage of this new system instead! There’s no way he’s going to let some stupid, weak magicians from another world control him! A wizard of creation, even without his original power, has got to be better than these weak and clueless losers who have never even used magic before, and he’ll prove it.

Fighting those monsters outside the wall is the fastest way to get stronger here, if he remembers correctly. He hadn’t really been listening to closely to the rest of the explanation, but that much stuck with him. That makes it the best way to prove how much better he is at magic than these other initiates! All he’ll have to do is find the strongest monster and kill it in front of some witnesses.

After all, there’s no way Judar the Magi can lose, even at the bottom rung!
