❅ Applications

Applications are: CLOSED
Indefinitely.

To apply for a character, fill out the correct application down below and post it a comment on this entry. Please do not link applications in your journal or delete the comments once your application is processed. Let us know if you would like your application screened.

Apps open on the first of every month and remain open for one week, during which time the mods will begin processing. We're optimistic and hope you'll get the result of your app within a day, but some may take longer depending on the familiarity of the mods with the canon, and the number of apps received in that cycle. If four or more days pass with no response then we suggest you contact a mod.

You can reserve and apply for two characters per app cycle. Currently, players are allowed a maximum of three characters in-game at any given time.

Applications will be judged primarily on the personality section of the character in question, and how the player intends to adapt them into their new role. For this part we're mostly interested in what you plan to do with their powers and new destiny, not how the character will react to it. We'll see that in-game!

Since any OC applications must fall in the range of fairy tales that already exist in the world of Myth Making, these will be held to a higher expectation.

Processing will result in applications being accepted or denied, or revisions requested. Don't worry if you're asked for revisions! It means we're interested in your app, but require more information about something. We'll let you know what that is. If you are asked for revisions, you'll be given one week to provide them.

You are allowed to re-use sections of applications you wrote previously, so don't worry about rewriting your entire personality section. Do NOT plagiarise any part of another player's application for your own, as this will result in an instant ban.

Test drive memes will go up on our meme comm,

mythmemes, the same day reserves open!

✒ IC
Name: Loki Laufeyson.
Canon: Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Canon Point: Post Thor: The Dark World.
Age: Over 1000 years old at least, possibly older. (MCU is not exactly good at keeping up with dates.)

Personality:
Loki is a complicated fellow of various conflicting emotions and traits. First and foremost he is mischievous, cunning and ruthless. He has zero compunctions when it comes to toying with and manipulating people into doing what he needs them to do. Whatever it takes to get himself over, he’ll do it with very little or no conscious remorse at all. He is his own number one concern when it comes down to it. Of course, he wasn’t always like that. Once upon a time, he actually had a care for his realm, and his family as well. Seemingly, they were his number one concern, though in actuality they were more a close second, as he still managed to scheme and plot where his own interests lied; his scheming just tended to have a bit of a more noble spin to it than it becomes later on.

Before the revelation that rocked his world, turning everything inside out and upside down, he was the dutiful and loyal son of Asgard, and while he often felt overlooked and overshadowed by his brother, Thor, there was a mutual love and brotherly bond between them. However, that bond did little to silence his own insecurities and inadequacies. Being raised among the Aesir, he grew up believing that being a warrior was the only honorable way to show one’s worth, strength, courage and manhood. The Asgardians are a warrior society who tend to be very short-sighted when it comes to the merits of using one’s mind in battle rather than solely using one’s brawn, thus he took many slights over his insistence on mastering magic and his crafty style of battle. Many called his magic mere ‘tricks’, his own brother, Thor, even being one of the people to discredit his methods whenever Loki would point out where his magic had helped to save the day. Of course, he did himself no favors by cultivating his reputation as the silvertongue lie-smith. While having a talent for lying is not a bad thing in and of itself, he tended to use it in the sorts of ways that would cause others trouble. No one likes to be made the fools via pranks, not even Loki, and he was the best at it. Not the most honorable trait to be recognized for, even if it is certainly a useful one for royal court politics, which is likely one of the reasons his father, Odin, never fully discouraged him from using lies.

Still, he harbored just as much pride as that of his brother and father, which meant he worked that much harder to gain their recognition and approval, something that felt like an uphill battle to him, as everyone always had praise for Thor and it felt as though his father favored Thor as well. However, the extent to which Odin favored Thor is questionable, given we do not see the entirety of their past, so it could very well be Loki’s own perception that sees Odin as only ever having praise for Thor. It's a notion that isn’t so far-fetched, considering Loki is one to keep his true feelings bottled up inside, whereas his brother would throw tantrums, let his feelings be known from the start, and get over his feelings rather quickly. Loki is one to let his feelings fester and eat away at him. While still believing himself to be a son of Odin, he was more than willing to silently suffer and swallow his pride and feelings of inadequacy because he was still a prince of Asgard. And while he still longed to be his brother’s equal, he was content to stand by his brother’s side, though he highly preferred that his brother not be the King until he learned some common sense. This struggle within him, to be recognized for his accomplishments and yet uphold his role as a son of Odin, would later play directly into him developing both an inferiority complex and a superiority complex.

His main motivation for allowing the Frost Giants into Asgard on Thor’s coronation day was to stop his brother from being crowned because he knew that Thor was far from ready. Of course, the only way to prove it to his father and the rest of the realm was to get his brother to act brashly and thus show his true colors. In truth, Loki’s plan worked perfectly. A little too perfectly, and from there the world spiraled out of control, changing both him and his brother forever. In one fell swoop, everything that Loki believed about himself was snatched away from him, and his brother was banished to Earth. He suffered a huge identity crisis upon discovery that he was in fact a Frost Giant AND the son of the enemy King. For centuries, the Asgardians told stories of the Jötunn menace; even his own brother had called them monsters. It was all too much for Loki to take in. Desperately, he tried to cling to his own identity, formulating a plan to not only kill Laufey before he could murder Odin, but to set himself up as hero and give Asgard a reason to finally crush the Jötunn for their insolence. However, things didn’t work out the way he planned. Thus, he finally snapped and decided on genocide as the answer to not only erase the heritage he came from, but to finally win the love of his father and people. Thor, the person whom had been his nearest and dearest friend, yet someone he envied and felt great jealousy for, did not make his loss easier to swallow. Following that up with a rebuke from his own father, Loki sought to kill himself. But instead he survived, though his sanity would not.

The cold calculation that he used in moving people around like chess pieces for the greater good was now turned solely toward his own causes. While he may still claim to be of Asgard, he has no fealty to anyone but himself. He’s no one’s son and he has no place to call his home. The few morals and codes of honor that he once followed are no more. There is absolutely nothing he won’t do if it benefits him. Hurting and killing innocent people, and using others as pawns is all fair game to him. The ends always justifies the means, thus he is destructive, volatile and irresolute. Add those to his already mischievous, ruthless and cunning nature, and that spells a recipe for disaster. Loki is not one for taking shortcuts to reach his goals, and if that means he has to make shady deals with undesirables and wait long periods of time to execute his plans, then that is perfectly acceptable to him. If along the way he can also manage to hurt and/or spite Thor and the rest of the liars that presented themselves as family and friends, then all the better for him. As Loki is also a highly vindictive person, no price is too high for him to exact revenge on someone. Especially when he feels that he has been betrayed in some fashion.

There’s not much doubt in my mind that the reason that he felt betrayed by the Warriors Three, Sif and Heimdall is that he considered them friends and comrades at some point. Nevermind that he was in fact doing shady things, even if he felt his schemes were justified and for the greater good. They chose to question him and automatically think the worse of him, whereas if he had been Thor, they would have followed without argument. If he didn’t care what they thought or never at any time considered them friends and comrades than I highly doubt his reaction to their betrayal would have been to snap the way he did and attempt to viciously kill them all. He pretty much derailed his own plans by taking the extreme course of action that he did, when he easily could have stuck to his plans and simply played the treason card with all five of them. And let’s not forget the act of spite he performed by going down to Earth and telling Thor that their father had died. He didn’t have to lie to him right then and there, but he made the conscious choice to kick his brother while he was already down. He’s very much like a snake that any time he feels threaten, he lashes out.

Basically when Loki is most emotional is when he starts making costly mistakes that unravel his plans. He is his own worst enemy. He’s more than willing to blame his misfortune on everyone else, but his own bad choices have led him down the path that he is on. Deep down, he knows it, but he’s not only good at lying to others, he is very good at lying to himself. By the time he is seen in the Avengers, he has pretty well deluded himself into thinking that everything that happened was solely, Thor and Odin’s fault and that if he conquers Earth. That not only will he have his own realm to rule, but he’ll be able to show his former family and friends that he is a force to be reckoned and make them regret that they ever doubted his power. Again this is where the full fruition of his superiority complex and inferiority complex can be seen the most.

While caught up in the delusions of believing that he deserved to have a throne of his own, he expresses his impression of mortals as being inferior and weak-minded, in need of someone to rule and guide them. Therefore it seemed only logical to him that he should be that ruler. He genuinely believes himself to be their better and that they should simply fall in line with his commands, because he’s a ‘god’. And while it may seem as though he hates mortals, he doesn’t really regard them highly enough to give them something as strong as his hate, at most they receive his disdain. However even as he maintains this superior image of himself, it is driven by pride and his need to mask his feelings of inferiority to Thor and Odin. Thor and Odin have respect, garner loyalty and receive adulation and recognition from others and he desperately wants all of that for himself. Though his inability to hold himself accountable for his own actions continue to keep him from even gaining a small part of what they have. Ultimately Loki desperately seeks validation and he’ll take it wherever and however he can get it.

History:
http://marvel.wikia.com/Loki_Laufeyson_(Earth-199999)
http://marvel-movies.wikia.com/wiki/Loki

Canon Abilities or Powers:
Physiological Traits: While the Jötunn and Aesir have many differences appearance and environmentally wise, biologically they share several traits. In both mythology and comics canon, they are in fact genetically compatible and able to breed with each other. The fact that Loki was able to pass for an Asgardian for most of his life is likely a testament to how closely they are in biological terms in the movieverse. As such Loki shares physiological traits with both races, the main ones being superhuman/heightened strength, durability, longevity, stamina, tissue density, reflexes, agility, speed, a natural immunity to Human diseases and regenerative healing (that he can enhance with his magic). With the additional Jötunn traits of having a natural resistance to cold temperatures, registering no body heat signature and being able to perform the freezing touch.

Sorcery: As a master of magic (something that he is called in the very first movie), he is capable of casting a wide range of spells, that include creating projectiles, creating realistic illusions, creating ‘clones’ of himself, transmutation of objects, rendering himself invisible, moving through mirrors, cloaking and shrouding himself and/or others from detection, he can teleport various distances (usually limited to the realm he is in) and astral project his image to other realms and dimensions (as seen when he communicates with the Other in Avengers). He can influence and/or manipulate the minds of weaker/weak-willed beings (as demonstrated in the post-script scene of Thor and the comic-tie in Fury’s Big Week).

He also can shapeshift into different people, animals and creatures (while he can gain the natural attributes of whatever species or gender he shifts too, he can’t gain any specific powers that he doesn’t already possess. The longer he stays in a shifted form the more his magical energy is drained), he can summon/create objects/things, and can open a small hammer space (a pocket dimension of infinite space that he can store things to be call upon later as demonstrated when he calls upon the Casket of Ancient Winters when he fights Heimdall in the first movie). He is also quite apt with arcane lore and the wielding of mystical artifacts (prime examples are wielding of the Casket of Ancient Winters, the sceptre from the Chitauri and Odin’s staff Gungnir, all of which he intuitively knew how to use without practice). And he’s even shown in the Avengers to use his magic to block and deflect gunfire.

Skills: First off, he has a genius level of intellect, that makes him something of a fast learner and a heck of a tactician/strategist. (Of course this doesn’t mean he won’t do stupid things on occasion as even smart men can be dumb.) He has a talent for games of chance, especially ones where matching wits or outmaneuvering an opponent is the main premise of the game. He also has skills in designing and forging blades as it has been hinted in supplementary sources, that he makes his own throwing daggers to his specifications.

Combat wise, he does have hand to hand combat skills as all Asgardians do. He also knows how to fight with swords, daggers, spears and staffs. Though he favors throwing daggers as his personal weapon as he prefers to be able to take opponents down from a distance. However he is capable of adapting his fighting style to whatever situation he is in at the time. This is something that can easily be seen throughout the three films he appears in.

Fairy Tale Role: The Wizard King (The Wizard King)
Fairy Tale Powers or Abilities: The King is called a master magician in that he had mastery over the "secret arts". During the story he shapeshifts in animals and creates a magnificent palace out of nowhere for the princess he kidnaps and uses his magic to travel from land to land with ease and it seems he could make potions. Given how broad "mastery of magic" can be, I would just limit this to basic kind of magic Wizards are known to perform in most mythos, the potion making, spell-casting and enchantments. Obviously Loki has knowledge in magic already, so he'll just be frustrated that he can't do everything he use to do and his powers are so diminished, at least by his standards.

Personal Items: The clothes on his back, his dagger and Odin's spear that is in his possession now.

First Person Sample:

Now this is a peculiar little thing. It is not as though I have never seen an enchanted book or journal before, but not one quite like this one. Judging from the entries that appear, within this book, that are clearly not my own. I can see that it can be used to communicate with others.

So allow me to get to the heart of this matter and simply ask, has anyone found out anything about this place? Besides the fact that the people seem to be utterly mad and insist that I am someone that I clearly am not. It is not that I take issue with being treated as a King, but I am not the King they believe me to be. I have not “lost my Queen” as I have never had a Queen and I most certainly do not have a son either. I have never seen an enchantment quite so wide spread before, it would take quite a bit of magical skill to pull something like this off and that is a notion I do not like.

Third Person Sample: Thread links here, here and here!
