Application Post

THIS POST IS FOR ARCHIVE PURPOSES ONLY. YOU CAN FIND THE NEW APPLICATION POST HERE.

Applications are currently OPEN.

Interested in applying to Brave New World? Simply fill out the form below and submit it! We do have some rules, though.

-Brave New World is an Alternate Universe game. All canon characters must be crafted specifically into the setting in order to be applied. Additionally, Original Characters may be applied, they too must be specifically crafted to the setting.

-You are permitted to either post the application directly to this page in a comment or to post the application elsewhere (preferably your character's journal) and link it in a comment here.

-Applications may take up to one week to process, and revisions up to three days. We'll do our best to get to them as soon as possible, however.

-If you are asked for revisions, please re-submit them within 72 hours of mod response. If no revisions are received within that period of time, your character will be made available again and someone else may submit an application for them.

-If you are rejected, don't worry, you can always try again! We currently have no limits on how many times a person may apply for a character; however, we do reserve the right to ban a person from apping a certain character if it gets too far out of hand.

-We do not accept application challenges. If you apply for a character that already has been applied for or reserved by somebody else, the other person will receive due consideration first. If they are rejected, their reserve expires, or they fail to re-submit revisions within 72 hours of a mod revision request, then, and only then, will we consider your application.

A Guide to Ease the Process of Applying - Skip if You Feel Prepared
As there is quite a bit of information to get through, we do encourage everyone to read through all the pages in the Directory before applying. However, pages that absolutely need to be read include the following:

Premise: A description of the game, and an introduction to the history of Union (the city in which the characters live) and what it means to be Enlightened.
Rules and FAQ: A basic Q&A addressing game mechanics can be found in the FAQ, including a basic outline concerning Bonding with Pokémon and rules concerning levels and Pokémon attacks, a description of our communication network (Warp Bands), and a description of Enlightened and Enhanced Items.
The City of Union: A post describing the physical locations within the City of Union. New areas may be added by players as they wish.
Society & Culture: A post describing the culture and the social mores of the civilization within Union as well as a listing of important Union-specific professions. You may choose to have your character serve as one of these professions or as another less Pokémon-specific profession like 'waiter' or 'chef'. This post may be of particular importance for crafting a working AU for your character.
The Enlightened: A post describing what it means to be Enlightened as well as Enlightened abilities you may choose for your character and how they affect game mechanics. As a note, any character who does not want to have special skills should choose the skill 'Far from Ordinary', which essentially means they do not have powers.
Training, Bonding, and Leveling: While this post is not essential for reading before the app, the details given on bonding with Pokémon will need to be understood to get the most out of the game.
Starter Pokémon: A list of all the starter Pokémon that may be chosen. Please pick one and note it in your application. Your starter does not have to share one of your character's types.
AU Planning: Before applying, it may be helpful to glance through this post and see if you can make plans with someone to have prior CR or to otherwise plan for future CR. You may also post on our Plotting Comm, which is open to all, to see if anyone would be willing to hash out some AU details with you.
Plot Timeline: As the game has been running now for several months, it may be helpful to glance through to see which events your character would logically have experienced as a citizen of Union before you begin to play them.

Prior to February 3rd, 2014, we asked that anyone who wished to apply a character from outside Union contact us first for approval. However, this no longer requires approval as long as the character is from a small, outside settlement and does not intend to return. If you intend to make use of a large civilization outside of Union, please still do contact us so we can discuss details. We generally prefer characters to come from settlements already established in game. We also ask that you contact us to talk things over if you plan to include any major actions by the NPCs of the city of Union in your application: for example, if you are attempting to app a murderer and you need to talk about how Union would respond to his crime.

Whenever in doubt, please feel free to contact the mods with any questions you may have! If your application includes some detail that conflicts with the established societal norms of Union, we'll respond to let you know. This does not mean your app is unacceptable! We absolutely want to work with everyone to make sure they can get an AU that they can enjoy. At the most extreme end, we can even accommodate things like people who want to work to bring down Union, but again, please do contact us to hash out details.

To submit an application, fill out the form below and submit it:

<big>PLAYER INFO</big>

Name: (What you go by online.)
Contact Information: (How other people can reach you. Personal journal, e-mail, AIM, Plurk, etc.)
Time Zone: (What time zone do you live in?)
Characters Played: (What other characters, if any, do you play already in Brave New World?)

<big>CHARACTER INFO</big>

Character Name:
Character Canon:

History: (A wiki link to your character’s history can suffice. However, if there is no wiki or there isn’t enough information on it, we will require you to write it out. OCs are exempt from this section)

AU History: (This is required for all characters to integrate them into the setting. It can be reasonably simple, or it can be more complex. You may integrate other characters into your history with their permission.)

Canon Personality: (We want to see how well you know your character’s personality. We expect at least four full paragraphs of information about them that encompasses a solid overview of their motivations, strengths, and weaknesses. This personality should be based on their original canon appearance.)

AU Deviation: (The nature of the AU is such that the character's personal history will be different, be it in simple or dramatic ways. Due to a much different upbringing, we expect there to be at least some variation, even if small. Spend at least one paragraph detailing in what ways the character differs from their canon incarnation.)

Canon Abilities: (Please list their abilities, be they mundane and supernatural. This includes items of power such as giant robots or magic weapons, and what they can do.)

Enlightened Abilities: (While your character will not have access to their canon abilities, they will instead gain access to up to two Pokémon types as outlined here: http://www.serebii.net/xy/typechart.shtml

Through these types, they will be able to take on an ability set that can mimic their canon abilities. Additionally, they will gain access to special trainer abilities as detailed here: http://bravenewmods.dreamwidth.org/715.html

While filling out this section, a good format would be to describe initial abilities and the way the abilities will develop after the first and second evolutions.

If your character has no canon powers, they may still be an Enlightened.  However, we ask that the abilities you choose generally make some sense for the character, whether it's related to personality or other canon considerations.

While complex vehicles are beyond the technology level of Union, characters may, as part of their overall composition, use Enhanced items that have aspects of an available Pokémon. A character may begin with a single Enhanced item, such as a sword that contains the Fire type. This is generally recommended to be similar to something they use in canon.)

Starter Pokémon: (Pick one from the list found here: http://bravenewmods.dreamwidth.org/968.html. Additionally, you may pick a single common Pokémon from the map post found here: http://bravenewmods.dreamwidth.org/5884.html from any of the Verdant Forest or Old City areas.

If you have the "Far from Ordinary" perk, you may pick two starters and one Verdant Forest/Old City Common. Starter Pokémon need not share your type. You are not required to pick a starter; you may start with no Pokémon if desired.)

Notes/Special Considerations: If you have special things you want to do with your character that can potentially impact the plot such as giving them an ancient power from a clan thought long extinct, this is the place to put it. It's suggested that you contact the moderators beforehand to hash things out if you want to do anything dramatic. You may also PM or IM one of the moderators beforehand if you wish to get the section pre-approved or ask questions on what is and is not allowed.

<big>SAMPLES</big>
(NOTE: You may link a previous entry or thread, including testrun or musebox threads (but NOT Dear Mun), for one or both samples. However, we want to see the character in the setting of Brave New World and specifically in their AU for at least one sample.)

First-Person: (Also known as “commentspam.” This is from the character’s perspective and helps us determine how well you grasp your character’s voice. The minimum is six sentences. If we deem that there is not enough spoken or written dialogue, we will ask you for more. If you link an outside entry or thread, the minimum is 10 comments from your character in one thread/with one character.)

Third-Person: (This is written in prose from an independent narrator’s perspective. Here we want to see an insight into your character’s unspoken behavior -- actions, thoughts, their view of their world, etc. The minimum here is two paragraphs. If we do not get a good sense of your character’s behavior, we will ask for more. If you link an outside entry or thread, the minimum is 20 comments from your character in two threads/with two characters.)

If desired, you may answer some of the following questions in lieu of samples. The questions must be answered in-character, as if they are being asked by a teacher, mentor, or superior. If your character is lying in their answer, please identify it as a lie.  The purpose of these is to get an idea of how you will play your character in lieu of the other sample options. 4 questions answered can be used as a substitute for a first-person sample, and 6 questions answered can be used as a substitute for a third-person sample. Both samples may be replaced in this manner. If the character doesn't say enough in their answer, we may request a few more answers for an acceptable sample.

-What would you say the role of Pokémon is in your life?
-What do you feel your role in your city is?
-What do you seek for humanity’s future?
-To what lengths would you go to rescue your allies if they were lost in the wilderness?
-What would you say the most important occupation is within your city?
-What does the story of the Savior mean to you?
-What aspects and traits do you respect most in your individual fellow man?
-What do you look for in the Pokémon with whom you bond?
-What do you think your Pokémon respect most about you?
-The gods of old have returned.  How would you be judged if you were chosen as a representative of humanity?
-A human has attacked a wild Pokémon who retaliates in defense.  How do you respond and whom do you defend?
-You are alone and bereft of your Pokémon allies; upon what strengths do you rely on to see yourself safely home?
-What would you say is your greatest duty, and why?
-You plunge into the depths of ruins of an ancient civilization. What is it that you seek from the past?  Treasure, technology, wisdom?
-When encountering a rare and powerful Pokémon, what is most important? Researching it, bonding with it, or defeating it? Why?
-What do you do to ensure we never again awaken the wrath of the gods upon humanity?
-What strengths make you most qualified for your role within your city?
-In your eyes, what is absolutely unforgivable?
-No Enlightened chooses their abilities - and not all are Enlightened.  What type abilities would you most desire to manifest and why?
-What area do you seek to explore?  The peaceful forest, in search of new, previously overlooked discoveries; the uncharted caves, in search of the unknown; or the wildest of mountain terrain, in search of danger, adventure, and thrills?

CHARACTER INFO

Character Name: Imogen Moreno
Character Canon: Degrassi

History: Degrassi Wikia

AU History: The Morenos are a rather well to do family. Louis and Natalie (Imogen's parents) running in the higher circles, both former trainers (thus waiting a bit longer to marry than is practice), Louis is now a professor and Natalie a doctor. Imogen was born into society and was taught from an early age to follow all the rules. ...Which she decided was horrible, she didn't like it, it was boring, and she wanted to do her own thing. She went to school, she studied, she daydreamed, she switched her focus on possible careers on a near daily basis. She would walk into parties with a Pokemon on her head and was generally scolded by the extended family and the rest of the well-to-do. Her father, as odd as Imogen ever is, seemed to applaud her creativity and craft at everything but whatever she was suppose to be doing.

Around the age of twelve Imogen started to show... abilities, which hardly shocked anyone as her father was Enlightened too. Well, technically she started showing skills before twelve, as her little flights of fancy made it hard to tell when Imogen was making things up, or actually talking to Pokemon. The talk of arranging her a husband started to come up, at around the same time she met a girl she really liked. There was also pressure to stop her from helping at a run-down art house she had apprenticed to design sets and costumes for. Her father fought very hard to keep her out of the usual trappings of arranged marriage and societal chains, up until he started to get sick.

His mind started to go when Imogen was around fourteen, and with that Imogen started to act even more out there as she fought more with her mother. Imogen's mother took on a consort, not entirely unheard as Imogen was her only child, and three children was the usual baseline. With Louis almost completely out of touch with reality Imogen found herself alone surrounded on all sides. Natalie and her consort had another child soon after, and started to push that Imogen should consider marriage again. This lead to Imogen not only seeking out ways to avoid getting married, but she fully embraced the fact that her... romantic interests, did not line up with what her mother wanted.

Imogen finally decided on a course for herself, it successfully had all she wanted to it. It allowed her to do her own thing, got her out of marriage, and got her out of society and their parties, staring, leering, judging, and generally being no fun sticks in the mud! She became a Delver, and would search the Old City for anything of value. Hoping, above and beyond all hopes, that she would discover something to help bring her father back to reality. Curing whatever sickness his Psychic-Enlightened state left him in.

Canon Personality: Imogen is... well, weird. She desires to be remembered and seen more than to be liked and accepted. Making her more than willing to push away others with her strange habits. She finds normality boring, and very few people can talk her into attempting it. She does what she can to look memorable, her clothes are always a weird mix of whatever she can toss together. Looking good, but never looking like everyone else. Her jewelry is a similar collection of small baubles she can wear from her ears and wrists. She’s impulsive, wild, and childlike at times. Happily letting her age melt away to that of a child enjoying everything life has. The judgments of the crowd mean nothing, provided she’s making her friends smile. In fact the judgments of the crowd egg her on, as often as not.

Underneath this weirdness is a rather timid, shy, awkward girl. When she isn’t presenting herself for the spotlight, she hates the spotlight being thrown on her. A girl that loves animals, wants to hang out with friends, and find love. She can occasionally get a bit obsessive, but it seems to mostly be under control now. She makes everything dramatic, because it’s more fun that way. Her home life is... complicated, probably doing her no favors in deciding to be strange over normal. A total daddy’s girl, when daddy is a bumbling professor who is alright with being strange too. Plus issues dealing with her mom who left them when she was eight, and has a new family Imogen feels no love or connection with.

Imogen's persona shifts due to how comfortable she is and how much the attention is on her. In the day to day grind she is loud, dramatic, and outgoing. Happy to say whatever comes to mind, in whatever strange thoughts she has. Because, this isn't personal, this is her way to be seen. Sure, she's weird, and she's off putting, but it's who she is. The attention isn't on her, and she wants to draw it to her as best she can manage. With whatever she can, clothes, lies, extravagant motions. The lying is of great importance, as she treats lies and 'more interesting' different; one hurts and the other is more fun. She will make up stories that are just believable enough, but not something anyone would accept. Merely force them to think 'could it be true,' and that's enough for her. Injuring herself, in ways she knows aren't permanent, is not out of the question. She's more brazen when she first meets someone, as in that moment she's nothing, and everything she is will be cast into the light in one shining moment.

When the attention is put on her, and people make fun of her, she clams up a little. She grows uneasy if the eyes are cast to her on terms that are not her own. She'll still be off putting, but not purposefully, her awkwardness and shyness showing in these moments. This happens when she's quiet, and other people talk to her. If you follow the phrase 'all the world's a stage' these moments are when she's relaxing in the eves and drawn into a performance off cue. She isn't ready for people, so she doesn't do much of anything. This is especially true with people she knows well enough to not like. Cruel cheerleaders and dumb jocks with only one thing on their mind. While she acts unfettered by the comments and laughter of her classmates, when she's pulling attention to herself, the leers and jabs meant to hurt do hurt her. Exascerbating her fears of being alone.

It's with her friends you find the middle ground, between the overblown drama queen and the awkward shy freak. Who is loud, and bright, and makes everything important. A child in a candy store, happy and free and herself. If she sees a moment to make an impression, she'll use her friends in her 'act,' and if someone confronts her friends, she will retreat behind them. Speaking up only when she knows its important for their own good. She'll still be dramatic when comfortable, but mostly it's for fun with little expectation she would be believed. She requires a lot of testing and checking to find the her real boundaries (as the drama queen has no boundaries, while the shy freak requires a ten foot bubble). Find what she's really okay with. Her concerns with being alone make her extra attached to those she deems friend. And why gender is not a concern with her romantic endeavors.

She’s an aspiring architect and loves to make things. Her true artistry comes from designing houses, sets, and anything she can look at as her mark on the world. Some lasting monument to her own idiosyncrasies, to who she is. Anything to be remembered. Her one goal is to be remembered, made only more important to her as her father's dementia started to impact their life. She will do anything creative to make an impression, the weirder and more out there the better to her.

AU Deviation: For the most part Imogen is the same, she's still an impulsive flighty little space cadet, with sudden and shocking bouts of cunning devious underhanded thought. Someone who found herself on the inside of a fishbowl and only liked to be watched when she controlled what was seen of her. What's changed is that her path is to help her father, where in canon she's lost hope of that being possible. She also has no desire to be an architech in this canon, and her interest in fashion, craft, and design are all applied to other things (but mostly to annoy her family and their friends).

She also has a lot less trouble lying, as the people she normally lies to deserve every falsehood she shares. She also has much less fear about approaching people she likes in romantic ways, as it almost always annoys her mother. Her relationship with her mother is a lot more strained than it is in canon, as it is actual dislike instead of perceived abandonment and learning how to get along.

Canon Abilities: Imogen, as a normal mundane teenager, is good at shopping, clothes, hairstyle, clothes design, building design, set design, and prop design. She's a drama club geek.

Enlightened Abilities: Imogen's types are Fairy/Dark. Matching her playful, vibrant, energetic side, and her dark, cruel, obsessive and vindictive side.

For the most part this presents as a control over energies, she can manipulate moonlight and darkness to her whims. Her manipulation of natural energies is mostly for support and healing, while the shadows are for attack and as a weapon. Her eyes are incredibly expressive, allowing her some level of emotional manipulation through simple looks, and in the dark her eyes glow gold allowing her strong night vision (as Dark types are connected to the dark, and Fairy types connected to night).

Imogen's love of animals makes her a Kindred Spirit in this world.

Starter Pokémon: Imogen starts with an Eevee, named Brighteyes.

Notes/Special Considerations: Nope.

SAMPLES

First-Person: Hiiiiiiii! So there's this party my mom insists I have to attend. *It's clear from Imogen's expression she isn't happy about this. She adjusts the little sticks in her hair, little bells chiming off the ends of them.* And she insists I must wear proper attire and have an escort. So... I need a date, hopefully someone with rugged good looks and will have my back if someone starts a fistfight at the party.

*It's hard to tell by her polite little smile if she's joking or not.*

In any event, I did try to get out of this but she has the connections to keep me out of the Old City for at least one night. And it's a bit too early in the day for me to go outside the city and be of any use, since the party begins before sundown. Laaaame. Just, let me know if you're available, and don't worry about society clothing, I'm the only one required to be formal. She said nothing about my escort. But if you want to borrow a dress, I'm sure I have one you'll look great in!

Third-Person: Imogen crouched on her perch and waited for the signal. A new area of the Old City was uncovered due to a small mishap a few delvers and a guard had with Earthquake. The guard probably thought the big move was the right idea, but any Delver worth anything would tell you not to do that near the old city. Best case it'd attract the attention of a few dozen things that live under the old city and start even moree of a fight. Worst case it'll collapse some of the old city on your head, maybe do some damage above ground (although the brainy types have managed to minimize that). This time someone was really on Arceus's good side, as all it did was open up parts of the old city to explore. But it was in pitch black so they left it to her to take care of,

The quiet trilling of an Eevee told Imogen she could make her way forward. She could see, but she was also too large to sneak as easily as her little partner was. Neither of them was particularly strong, but they were clever and could make their way around the dark without starting fights. Also she could usually talk her way out of a pinch, which was a fun trick. "Alright Brighteyes, what's ahead?"

Brighteyes squeaked out a few noises for Imogen to listen to, nodding at the description of the surrounding area. It didn't sound like there was much treasure in the open, but the area was expansive enough that someone needed to map it out and check to be sure. "Alright, since the area is clear, we're up. Scout and map. Not going for prizes yet. The brainy types get so uppity when we accidentally break their toys." Imogen motioned to the left path, while she took the right. Pulling her sketchpad out and started to map this section of the city out. While finding artifacts, scraps, and lost technology was the job. The fun was the exploration. Sketching maps, going places nobody has seen in centuries. It'd be nice to see these things in vivid color, but the black and white of her night vision was more than okay with her.

She'd spend days down here if it wasn't the case several Pokemon in the old city don't like to negotiate and talk it out, making it hard to stay down here. Imogen listened for the occasional 'vee' from Brighteyes to keep track of her progress. She couldn't map but if there were any dangers or important things, the little Eevee could hunt them down as well as Imogen herself. Plus give her a basic lay of the land to finish out the map. Won't be as detailed but it'll be accurate enough to share with the bigger guys who can run a full salvage. But that didn't matter right now, right now this was a mystery for her to hunt through, a new world to explore right below her own home. What could be more fun than that!?

"Vee!"

Imogen rushed over to her partner's cry, it wasn't a cry of danger... she found something. Imogen's gold eyes went wide as she stared at it. A full sized, unburied, old world machine. It was part of a factory thing, old but not damaged. If it was a friendly machine it could probably be fixed up, and if it was one of those terror machines there was no end to useful scrap to melt down. "Motherload... time to contract out the muscles and get this thing topside. We might need to bring down a brainy to be sure if we want to bring this up whole or crunch it here."

Right now, the game isn’t open, but sit tight! We’ll be open on January 11th at midnight, EST.

Regarding the special considerations requested:

1. You are approved for Metal Claw. For all other exception attacks, please contact the mod team for approval, which will be granted or denied on a case-by-case basis. When requesting exception attacks, please also include the reasoning behind why he might get it.

2. Per your description in the background and prior conversation with the potential Lelouche, this is approved conditionally upon the application of Lelouche and the corroboration of of the details regarding his mother in the application.

3. We are open to him eventually acquiring his father's Audino, contact the mod team directly when you are looking to have that happen and we will work something out. This will not be able to occur right away.

As a thank you for apping your character before the game started, you will gain access to one free Intensive Search without suffering any of the penalties. What this means is you will be able to guarantee you will encounter and be able to bond with a rare, undiscovered Pokémon one week without sacrificing the ability to level up yourself and your Pokémon that week.

Edited 2014-01-05 04:28 (UTC)

Before we can approve this application, we ask that the AU differences section be elaborated upon. We do not feel that there is currently enough to differentiate between the two versions and ask that this section be at least one paragraph in length, with a very distinct difference between OU and AU.

Regarding Risette, you are more than welcome to add that in, as there is a general interest in a small theater troupe within Union. This would likely be the best place to put her for that, placing her as a premiere performer there. You'll want to run it by the players planning this before finalizing your plans, but I see no foreseeable issues with this.

No clever lines today

HOW DARE YOU I HEARBY REVOKE MY APP AND SHUN YOUR GAME FOR ALL TIME YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT THIS ON THE NEWEST FASHIONABLE WANK COMM!

By which I mean the requested changes have been made.

The app as a whole is generally fine, just two minor issues.

1. The link to her canon history does not appear to work, I'm getting a 404 error. Please provide a proper link.

2. Her ability set as described is generally fine, but it does reference a number of higher-level abilities that she might not initially start with. Please address how strong her powers are initially and how they will grow into the level of potency already described. Also the phrase "manipulate moonlight and darkness to her whim" is very broad, please narrow that down in scope as it implies a level of control reserved for Legendaries.

Two questions:

1) Can I bank that free Intensive Search? I've got plans for Rise's first Bond that involve a starter species and I also may want to faff about being a performer for a couple weeks.

2) You know what I'll just ask the other one on plurk.

Thanks though!

Right now, the game isn’t open, but sit tight! We’ll be open on January 11th at midnight, EST.

As a thank you for apping your character before the game started, you will gain access to one free Intensive Search without suffering any of the penalties. What this means is you will be able to guarantee you will encounter and be able to bond with a rare, undiscovered Pokémon one week without sacrificing the ability to level up yourself and your Pokémon that week.

Concerning Flemming's team, much of the items salvaged from the Old City have been used to either retrofit the technology they already have in Union or further research and uncover the mysteries of the fallen civilization before them, so it's very possible that he may have had a hand in helping push that research forward. He would be allowed a small team that he would work with and supervise (NPCed or otherwise; we suggest that you use the AU Plotting Post to recruit people for his team), although if you wanted to try to invent or enhance any known technology in setting, you would need to run it through us beforehand.

Your in-game tag will be Teen Titans: Beast Boy.

Probably a mistake from writing the app in notepad: This link should work.

As for the powers I got a bit colorful and purply in my prose. I mostly meant she specialized in Special Stat related things over physical. So more Moonblast and Dark Pulse than Play Rough and Night Slash.

However, as she is just starting out, she's starting with something along the power levels of Fairy Wind for offense, some minor healing (cuts, scrapes, and fatigue only), and her night vision.

1) Definitely. We figured that people would want to bank them for a bit anyway, so just make a note somewhere on your info post that you have that available.

2) Okay, I'll look out for it and answer it there.
