❅ 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: Luna Lovegood
Canon: Harry Potter
Canon Point: The Deathly Hallows, the party at Hogwarts
Age: 16

Personality:

Luna appears to live up to the nickname her classmates have given her -- Looney Luna Lovegood. She's distant, seemingly absent-minded, and her dazed expression coupled with her lilted voice and non-sequitur conversational cues seem to portray less than the picture of sanity. To say she's a bit odd is an understatement. Luna is very abstract in her thinking patterns, not only looking outside of the box but wondering what the box is made of and whether or not it's actually a box or a circle. However, this oddity and estrangement from conventional behavior has its advantages for Luna.

Luna is both incredibly perceptive and empathetic. She can pick up on the slightest observations, and it's clear that even if the eyes have been staring at a rock for twenty minutes, her mind is working out the existential properties of the rock. Not all who wander are lost is definitely a concept that applies to Luna's philosophy. Knowledge is a wonderful discovery, and can always be further explored. There is nothing but the abstracts for Luna, and linearity is often disregarded. She prizes creativity and innovation, and is always inspired by finding it in other people or animals. Luna always has one foot off the ground, figuratively speaking, and there is no capital T Truth, only a popular interpretation of it.

In the novels, Luna was sorted into the Ravenclaw house. Sortings determine both the inner personality of the student as well as the qualities they value the most. Ravenclaw holds its strengths in logic, wit, and learning, and it's clear that Luna prizes Thinking above all other things. She is vastly intelligent and clever, with one of the most open minds that the series has presented. She picks up on things easily, but the most important thing that Luna seems to gain from her mind is the ability to believe. Luna holds many bizarre and unorthodox views on the world, and while this may earn her scorn from her peers, it also allows her to hold faith in the impossible and overcome any societal impediments. If Luna believes something is right, she will support it wholeheartedly, and her imagination doesn't limit that in the slightest. JK Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, has stated that Luna is the most likely to 'think up ten impossible things before breakfast', and her creativity and ingenuity know very weak, if any, bounds. Luna goes into things feet forward, and knows that logical and bizarre aren't mutually exclusive terms.

In terms of temperament, Luna is very calm, almost airy about most things, and doesn't get frustrated or stopped by setbacks or obstacles. She is an open-hearted girl who never lets what others say bring her down. Frequently while in school Luna has been bullied, but her attitude towards it implies that she is not even aware of said bullying. Things are always taken in stride for Luna, she hardly gets angry, and her very zen temperament has been a subtle pillar of support for her friends. Luna doesn't let herself become affected by the darkness that surrounds her growing up, instead she continues to be a positive personality clad in ridiculously bright clothing. Simply put, Luna is kind and always sincere. Said sincerity sometimes even overstepping into the offensive with her rather blunt manner of honesty. She doesn't sugar coat things, and calls the situation as she sees it oblivious to the social norms around her. She also gets lost in her own thoughts often, coming across as vacant minded or even rude when she ignores what's happening right in front of her because she's too busy focusing on the obsolete theories of quantum transfiguration.

While not much can offend or bother Luna, there are a few things that set off her darker side. A daddy's girl through and through, any problems someone has with the Quibbler (the wizard equivalent of a tabloid that her dad writes) is viewed almost as direct attack on her. She can get very cross with people who are closed minded, and cold when someone disregards her theories because it's not the capital T Truth. She has little respect for people who don't respect others, and checks out of conversations with them by retreating to her own, special, Luna-land inside her mind. She has a very clear and easy manner of approaching the world, but it's solid and unshakeable. Her modus operandi is simple, but she has never compromised it. With Luna, there is always an easy acceptance waiting for you, if you can get passed the weird abstractness.

On the whole Luna is one third zen, two halves imagination, and one fourth absurdity. And if you complain about that adding up to be more than one, well, she would tell you that you simply aren't paying attention.

History: Here!

Canon Abilities or Powers:

Abilities:
Creativity and Innovation: Luna definitely has a handle on looking outside of the box, and her unique views on things allow her the ability of belief despite logic, which as been a phenomenally useful resource when she is on a team with more logical minded people. It also grants her a lot of imagination and innovation, such as her creating her own enchanted clothing items in canon.

Observation: Luna is incredibly perceptive of her surroundings, giving her high observational skills. Often communicated in less than orthodox ways.

Naturalism: Luna has a habit and love for creatures, with a very wide knowledge of wildlife as well as mannerisms.

Powers: Luna is a witch, meaning that she is able to cast a variety of magical spells and curses with the use of a wand. Luna in particular has been shown to be very adept at dueling and casting the Patronus Charm, a defensive spell powered by happy thoughts, which takes the shape of a hare. Charm work and defense against the dark arts are strong areas for her, and in particular she is fond of the Care of Magical Creatures.

Fairy Tale Role: The ~~Mad~~ Hatter (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass)
Fairy Tale Powers or Abilities: The Hatter is often used to play with the conventions of time in both novels (such as when he is being sentenced for a crime before he commits it, and how the guest Time at the tea party traps both him and the March Hare at 6:00 forever). I'd like to translate this as Luna being able to freeze time in six second incriments. Because that just seems like the right thing to do as it's totally nonsensical and ultimately useless, much like Hatter's riddles and poems.

She can also now fashion very stylish hats.

Personal Items:
-one magic wand
-School robes (Ravenclaw)
-a necklace made out of bottlecaps
-two radish earrings
- a satchel full of back issues of The Quibbler ( a magical sensationalist magazine comparable to the National Enquirer)

First Person Sample:

This is certainly exciting. I don't believe I've had the opportunity to make hats before. Though I do wonder how so many strangers have already learned one of my many colourful nicknames.

Anyway, it is very nice to finally talk to everyone, even if it is only through these letters. You see, it's been quite a while since I've had the opportunity to make new friends, because my current ones are so prone to being eventful, and being eventful takes up much of my time.

I am slightly concerned about the dislocation, however. I don't remember coming here, so you have to wonder where all that traveling distance went. Things never go well when large expanses of time go missing.

Third Person Sample:

She supposed there were worse things to be subjected to than sitting in a dungeon. At least, that's the conclusion Luna came to as she sat down next to a quivering Mr Ollivander, hands clasped in front of her and thumbs twiddling in thought.

After all, even if the sunlight only came in once in a while or not at all, at least there were candles. And though the floor of the dungeon was littered with something Luna could only assume was goblin bones, she had yet to see any human shaped ones so that was certainly to her favor. And the torture that had resulted from all the questioning? That had only been physical, which meant it would heal, and she hadn't had the opportunity to give up Harry Potter's whereabouts because she thankfully hadn't a clue as to where abouts they were. So. There were quite a few things worse than sitting in a dungeon.

Though Luna was beginning to suspect that her natural affinity for dungeon cell sitting was due in part to have potions in Professor Snape's classroom nearly every day for six years. She would have to remember to write him a thank you note after she had departed from this place. It was only kind, after all, and it explained why Mr Ollivander was having so many struggles. Mr Ollivander had been out of school for quite some time.

Luna turned to him, noticing again that he had become quite unsociable and withdrawn again. That wouldn't do. Luna was a firm believer that the first rule of being held a captive prisoner was to do it with amiable conversation, as it was the most counterproductive thing they could do in a situation like this.

Looking around, Luna felt a small smile crawl up her face. "Lovely weather we're having down here, isn't it?"

Mr Ollivander stared at her as if she had grown two heads, but Luna was not to be deterred.

"At least it's not raining. I don't think I'd do well having to sit in one place with rain all the time. It'd get chilly after a while." She tapped a finger against her chin, "They could do that, I think. If they wanted. So in a way, they truly aren't using the full potential of this dungeon, don't you think Mr Ollivander?"

Mr Ollivander stared, before muttering, "No, I suppose they aren't."

Luna beamed. "That's very good."

At least he was talking now. Luna would hate to have to spend her dungeon captivity in the company of someone so sad.
"Have you ever heard of multiphasing bandicoots?"

"No..."

"Well, let me be the first to inform you that they are quite unpleasant to deal with in the hot weather. Such information may save your life, you know."

And so the hours began to pass, as Luna cataloged her entire knowledge of obscure, but perfectly real, creatures.
