mythmakers | ❅ 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: Franziska von Karma
Canon: Ace Attorney
Canon Point: post-Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth
Age: 19

Personality:

"To be perfect in every way." That's the von Karma family creed and the philosophy Franziska was raised on. And for young Franziska, perfection was to be just like her father, Manfred von Karma, a renowned prosecutor who has never lost a case. Perfection meant being able to best Miles Edgeworth, Manfred's protege whom Franziska saw both as a little brother and a rival, and earn the right to be the successor to the von Karma name. Both men were known to be geniuses in prosecution, as Edgeworth managed to effortlessly follow Manfred's footsteps. Franziska, as she later acknowledged, was not a genius, and was a lot younger than Edgeworth. (Age aside, she still insists that she's the older sister.) She strove to catch up to them, to prove that she was worth her name and her legacy, through hard work and dedication. At the age of thirteen, Franziska was already priding herself as a "prodigy prosecutor", having graduated from a prestigious German law school.

And she was indeed a prosecutor. Like her father and little brother, she has never lost a case. She was known and feared among her peers. Her arguments were precise. Her investigations were thorough; as thorough as you can get without having the kleptomaniac tendencies of the protagonists of the Ace Attorney series. She was quick witted and could easily develop counterarguments against the defense. She was strict and disciplined with the rules, and was known to whip people for being foolish (this can mean anything from being generally annoying to breaking a minor rule like keeping the courtroom clean to being a criminal) without a moment's notice.

This harsh personality was brought about by the pressure of being expected to be perfect. This was her primary drive until Manfred von Karma was tried and found guilty of the murder of Gregory Edgeworth, Miles Edgeworth's father. She was uninvolved with the trial itself. Phoenix Wright, an old friend of Edgeworth's, was the defense attorney. Manfred von Karma was the prosecutor and the original defendant, tried for a murder related to that of his father's, was Edgeworth. This case left her without a father (the "anchor of her life" as she called him when she was thirteen) and a little brother, who decided to "choose death" and leave the world of prosecutor. She lost both her goal and her benchmark for perfection.

Angered by her loss, Franziska flew to America to defeat Phoenix Wright. She did everything she could to defeat him: conducting surprise investigations, controlling the witnesses' testimonies, withholding evidence, planting a tracking device on the detective in charge, and the like. She lost three times and each loss made her more desperate and reckless. This anger was made worse when Edgeworth decided to show up during the investigation stage of her fourth case against Phoenix. He was a changed man, having lost not only his perfect record but also his ideas when it comes to perfection. He didn't care as much as he did. She hated what he had become. She hated how he called her out with losing to Phoenix three times. She was more fired up than ever. Had Edgeworth not dragged her to a clinic, she would have gone to court even if the assassin the defendant for the case hired shot her on the shoulder the moment she stepped out of the car.

Thus she was made to give up the case to Edgeworth. She was called to go to court to deliver and present some evidence before it ended. Phoenix still won. Phoenix still won. After the trial, Franziska stormed out of court screaming about being unworthy of the von Karma name, leaving her whip behind. She, at that point in time, had given up on being a prosecutor. And she would have left forever had Phoenix not given the whip to Edgeworth who then chased after her in the airport to return it. She admitted to not being a genius. She admitted to being crushed by the expectation to be perfect. She admitted to wanting to take revenge on Edgeworth for always leaving her behind by defeating Phoenix. She showed signs of wanting to change what she had become but believed that she couldn't. Edgeworth convinced her that she could. The additional threat/pep talk about leaving her behind again if she stopped being a prosecutor convinced her to carry on with her profession. And yes, she was still bent on defeating Edgeworth.

That being said, Franziska's personality didn't change much over the course of the games. What changed was her motivations. She used to fight for her father's recognition. Then she fought for revenge. While she still considered Edgeworth to be her rival, by the time of the third game (one year after the Engarde case) she started to fight for herself. Come Ace Attorney Investigations, the game where I'm taking her from, she chose to be a prosecutor to capture criminals. She's still a perfectionist, upholding the von Karma creed, but she can now handle defeat with a little more grace.

It's also worth noting that Franziska isn't as mature as she presents herself to be. She has a lot of insecurities (height, status, being compared to Edgeoworth and Manfred) and a lot of pride. She can obviously be selfish, and occasionally naive. She tends to believe what she wants to believe and dismisses all other opinions as worthless until proven with evidence and testimony. She has a tendency to be unaware about how mean she presents herself to be and was taken aback when an eight year old called her out on it. Anger aside, she usually means well by her actions. She's just not good with showing affection. For example, knowing that Miles Edgeworth is afraid of earthquakes, her reaction to being with him after a quake was to order him to get some fresh air as he looked pale. Disliking how dirty Detective Gumshoe's coat had become was to attempt to throw it away so he could buy a new one. She eventually mailed it back to him.

Franziska still looks up to her father with some degree of pride and respect. She differs with him when it comes to philosophy as Manfred believes that there are people who are above the law and can not be tried in court. Franziska believes otherwise and, with the aide of Miles Edgeworth, Detective Dick Gumshoe, Kay Faraday and Agent Shi-long Lang, managed to try a corrupt ex-foreign ambassador. Simply put, she believes in the power of law and that all criminals should be given their proper punishment.

History: wiki

Canon Abilities or Powers: Nothing supernatural. She's skilled at using her whip.

Fairy Tale Role: The 13th Fairy from Sleeping Beauty
Fairy Tale Powers or Abilities:
Control over and summoning plants that have thorns. In the fairy tale, Sleeping Beauty pricked her finger on a spindle and was supposed to die, but fell asleep for a hundred years instead. Her castle was then surrounded by thorn hedges. If we assume that the spindle was tipped with a poisonous thorn, then we could simplify the vague extent of the original fairy tale character's abilities to having power over thorny plants.

Personal Items: her whip, her cellphone, a briefcase, her current clothes, a fresh pair of gloves

First Person Sample:

Foolish fools who foolishly believe in foolish flights of fancy, fairy tales aren't real. Fairies aren't real. To think that I, Franziska von Karma, prodigy prosecutor, am a foolishly flitting fairy is absolutely foolish! I know this because the most famous fairy tales come from my country. They are nothing but tales to entertain children and amuse the simple-minded. Magic does not exist. This entire world is nothing but a fever dream brought about by stress and fatigue.

When I wake up from this dream, I will have to demand for a short vacation.
