IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ORIGINAL CHARACTER APPLICATIONS, THOSE ARE OVER HERE.Applications are always open, and accepted on a weekly basis, over the weekends. All applications will be on separate comments, with the header as follows:
Character Name || Canon || OU/AU || Reserved or Not ReservedAdditionally, as a mod can claim to having severe app-anxiety, we also allow those of you who are nervous as hell to post apps publicly to email them to us instead! In the subject line, put 'Character Application', so we can find you amongst all the spam. The first line of the email would be the same format as above, followed by the shenanigans below. And our email is
meridianmods@gmail.com!
ClarificationsPLAYER INFOName: (Self-explanatory, whatever you want us to call you)
Main Journal: (Your journal, not your character journal)
Contact Info: (Email, AIM, Plurk, etc. Anywhere you'd be comfortable with us contacting you)
Played Characters: (Characters you currently have in the game, along with their versions)
AC Reminders: (While we don't expect this to be an issue, people are forgetful. And that's okay! During Activity Checks, when there are three days remaining, if you have not responded and you're not on hiatus or anything similar, we will send you a reminder through your method of choice. If you want reminders, put what means would be the most effective to get them to you - email, aim, plurk, LJ message, etc - along with the name. If you'd like to opt out, then just leave it blank, put an N, remove this part, call us names, whatever you like!)
CHARACTER INFOName: (Your character's name)
Age: (Their age. If their physical age differs from their mental age, this is the place to mention it!)
Species: (Are they a human, a robot, a ghost, a giant purple dinosaur?)
Series: (The TV show, video game, anime, cartoon, movie, book, comic book, webcomic, or nightmare your character comes from. If there's more than one version of your character's canon-- and these two versions are
sufficiently different, specify which one you're taking them from.)
OU/AU: (We would hope you know this if you've gotten this far. This game allows for Alternate Universe characters, so here is where you'd specify that!)
Canon Point: (Where are you taking them from? After their first big adventure, after their death, after their pet hamster runs away, post-series?)
History: (You're allowed to link to a wiki for the history of OU characters! For AUs, we won't ask you for a specific amount of words or paragraphs.
However, we want a good understanding of your AU. Just remember our mindset is 'longer is better', within reason. We want you to write enough for you to prove that you've really worked out your AU history well, but we won't ask you to just pad it either.)
Personality: (Again, like history. No mandatory limit, but longer is better.
Especially here. The personality section is one of the two main ways to show us you know your character. Sell it to us. Prove to us that you understand your character.)
Powers: (Anything that's worth knowing.
Anything at all. Can your character fly, teleport, leap tall buildings in a single bound? Does their singing attract small woodland creatures? Tell us about it! In the mod comment back to your app, we'll give you the breakdown on what powers are kept, changed, or removed, so no need to worry about writing which powers would and wouldn't work in the city.)
Weaknesses: (Again, absolutely anything that's worth knowing. Is your character deathly allergic to nuts? Does even looking at teddy bears and flowers make them fall away in a dead faint?)
Possessions: (Just a list of items the character will have when they show up.
This includes weapons. Include a short description of each item and its abilities, if any. This is mostly for weapons though, since they'll fall under the same regulation as powers.)
Marking Location: (In response to your app, you'll be told
if you are marked or not, but you're free to choose where your marking is, should you be marked. Self-explanatory, really.)
Miscellaneous: (Anything else you think is relevant!)
First Person: (A sample written in the first person. Action is allowed, yes, as there are no communicators in this game, but what we're looking here is for your character's voice!
Similar to history and personality, but the guidelines are
much more lenient. Ten sentences is the recommended, but even as low as three is acceptable. We understand that some characters don't talk much, some almost mute with how little they speak. Hey, maybe they're actually mute! The point is that you convey your character, and if you can do it in three sentences, then hell yes!)
Third Person: (A sample written in third person. Show us your prose! Minimum 200 words.)
And there you have it!

The final stage of the RA Plan began, and Haseo felt a strange pulling inside of his character, only to realize that it was his connection to his Epitaph, now lodged in Kazumi's head. Kazumi could feel it responding to Haseo as well, but then the final stage of the Plan completed, and Pi's hand hovered over the control panel... then hit the execution switch, carrying out her brother's will. Atoli began to cry out, and one of the dummy Epitaphs began acting erratically. In annoyance, Kazumi activated his arm-gun and took aim at Atoli, but Haseo countered with a shot at him before he could react. The shot had minimal effect, and Kazumi claimed he could not be defeated so easily. Drawing on the improved power of the Skeith Epitaph, his abilities were now enhanced, and he fired off vastly more powerful attacks at Haseo. Atoli threw herself in front of the attack, but just in the nick of time her Epitaph, Innis, returned to her and the shot did no damage. Everyone was astonished as they did not realize that Atoli was an Epitaph User. However, the true Innis and the dummy version started overlapping and causing instabilities in the program. Kazumi ordered Pi to force the program to execute anyway, and in a final effort to dissuade him Kuhn told him that by doing this he would create a new anti-existence.
But, Kazumi was more than aware, as he knew what Cubia was and that it was the reason for the halting of the original RA Plan. Pi was horrified by this revelation, especially at Kazumi's harsh words regarding her brother's reactions to Cubia. Kazumi said that even if Cubia was recreated, all he would need to do would be to get Cubia to follow his whims. At that moment, the program executed and the room was filled with blinding light and began to fall apart. The air filled with swirling energy, focused on a platform where Kazumi was standing... transformed. He had finally achieved his desire, to be reborn as a god...
Unfortunately, his actions did result in the creation of a powerful anti-existence. While he did fight with it furiously in his capacity as god of the network, it ultimately overcame him... consuming him, power and all, in an attempt to balance out the imbalance he created.
Personality: Kazumi is certainly a rather genial person. He's polite, cheerful, and pleasant to be around. He rarely loses his temper or raises his voice, but by the same token he doesn't often get very outspoken. He's a good conversationalist, knowing a great deal about many classical subjects and weaving them into his words as metaphors or comparisons. To people he knows, he's friendly and helpful, going out of his way to help make ends meet. With friends he tends to be playful and likes to gently tease or otherwise have fun. He always seems to be on top of things, as if very little escapes his notice.
