❅ Applications
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.

Do you play anyone in Myth Making?: N/A
✒ IC
Name: Cynthia
Canon: Claymore
Canon Point: Chapter 144
Age: Unknown. She appears to be around 18 years of age physically. However Claymores mature but they do not actually age. Keeping the seven year time skip in mind, Cynthia could be in her mid-twenties to early thirties.
Personality:
Cynthia is, quite possibly, the sweetest Claymore you'll ever come across. Ever. She's the nice one of the group, and her attitude is something rarely seen amongst the normally stoic, serious Claymores. With a cheerful disposition, she sees the glass as half full most of the time, and hopes for the best possible outcome in every situation. You never see Cynthia get mad or overly upset, unless something really bad happens, like the death of a comrade. She stays calm most of the time, with a smile on her face and a helpful word to try and motivate and keep the others going.
However, Cynthia can certainly not be called naïve. Cynthia would not have become Number 14 otherwise. She's a smart girl, who is quite capable of fending for herself, and she will certainly do so if provoked enough. She'll probably be a little nicer about it, but she will draw her sword if she must, just as her comrades would. Cynthia, while nice, is also far from being a pushover. She won't bow down and let people walk over her, but she won't bite down their throats to do so. She'll just be a lot nicer about everything. And she isn’t afraid to gently tease someone if she’s close enough to them. But she has to be close to them, and she’ll never say anything that will actually hurt the person. She’s a good-natured and gentle girl who happens to be pretty badass with a sword as well.
She is loyal to her comrades, and will always work to the best of her ability to get something done. She never questions her leader, and does what is requested of her at all times, trusting her leader and her friends. Cynthia believes in preserving as many lives as possible, striving to make sure that, ideally, there are no casualties. She believes that saving lives are more important than the fees she has had to collect for the Organization, and it is suggested in canon that she even went as far as to kill yoma for free. It is for this reason that she was sent to the war in the North.
Happy to put her life on the line, Cynthia does do well to hide her own insecurities behind that smile of hers. Cynthia suffers from survivor’s guilt after the war in the North. She sees herself as the weakest of the seven survivors of the Northern War, believing herself to be so because of her own guilt at having lived when her other comrades had died. Cynthia, while wanting revenge for the deaths of her comrades, is happy to sacrifice herself so that the other survivors of the war may live and fight on. She would rather her life be used to save another.
History: http://claymore.wikia.com/wiki/Cynthia
Canon Abilities or Powers:
Cynthia has all of the standard abilities that come with being a half-human, half-yoma hybrid. By taking on the flesh and the blood of a yoma, it has granted her enhanced speed, and strength. On top of this, she has the ability to sense yoki. In other words, she is able to sense demonic auras, and is thus able to hunt yoma down.
In the Claymore-verse, there are offensive-type Claymores and Defensive-type Claymores. The idea is that a warrior who focuses on killing the monster to survive becomes “offensive” while a warrior who focuses on protecting herself to survive becomes a “defensive-type”. Defensive-type Claymores excel at healing and can regenerate their limbs, while offensive types can reattach limbs that have been cut off, but may not be able to regenerate them. Cynthia is what you would call a defensive-type, and so she is capable of regenerating her limbs, and heals a lot faster than her offensive-type allies.
Over the seven years that Cynthia spent in the North, she has managed to develop her ability to manipulate the yoki of another, synchronizing theirs with her own in order to help speed up the healing process. She’s basically Claymore’s version of a nurse, offering to help others heal when they need it. She assists Galatea with her arm, Yuma with her leg and Helen with her eye at various points in the manga. However there is, of course, a limit to how many times she can use this ability. It requires a great deal of mental stamina, and if she uses it too much, she will grow weaker. It also hinders her own ability to heal, since she’s using her own yoki to help another, which can be bad news if she happens to get badly injured after healing everyone else.
The downfall of her abilities is that if she uses too much yoki, she will turn into a monster herself. Releasing 10% causes a Claymore’s eyes to change from silver to gold. Releasing 30% causes her face to distort, becoming more animalistic than human. Releasing 50% means the body distorts. Once she releases 80% she has reached her limit and risks awakening – turning into a bloodthirsty and horrific monster herself.
Cynthia was ranked number 14 when she was a part of The Organization. This means that as a Claymore, she was quite skilled. There are 47 ranks within The Organization. A Claymore with the rank of 47 is the weakest. To have made it to number 14 shows that Cynthia has a great deal of skill and ability.
Fairy Tale Role: Vasilisa from Vasilisa the Beautiful
Fairy Tale Powers or Abilities: Vasilisa possesses a little wooden doll. She is advised to give the doll something to eat and drink when she is in need, and the doll will help her. The doll is capable of performing normal tasks on behalf of Vasilisa to lessen her workload. The doll is capable of giving advice and seems to be rather intuitive, reassuring the girl that her father has not left her in one case. It tells Vasilissa what to do when she needs the advice.
Personal Items:
Cynthia’s claymore sword
The clothes on her back.
First Person Sample:
[It takes Cynthia a moment to actually try writing in the book. Magic is not a part of her world, so she finds it extremely curious. Maybe a little odd. It doesn’t frighten her; it just intrigues her more than anything.]
This is all really very strange, isn’t it? Words keep showing up in this book, and I’m not writing anything. Can anyone see this?
My name is Cynthia! How is everyone doing? I’m going to try and find as much about this place as I can. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get everyone home, okay? Just leave it to me! I promise that I’ll do my best!
Third Person Sample:
The people had been oddly friendly. Cynthia was rather surprised to receive such a warm greeting from a group of people she’d never met in her life. Being what she was, humans generally didn’t welcome her with open arms. It hurt when they called her a monster, but she did understand why they did it. To them, she was frightening. She was half-yoma and someday she would awaken and become a creature that fed off of humans unless something killed her first. She would have much preferred to give her life to save another, as well. It was always that way for her. She would always choose death so that another could live on.
She was quite a bit stunned at first, looking at the townsfolk with wide eyes when they greeted her so cheerfully, as though she was some kind of guest of honour. It was peculiar that they called her “Vasilisa” though, and as much as she apologised and insisted that they had the wrong person, her words were regarded as “nonsense.”
“I’m really sorry. You do have the wrong person though.” She said again, but they’d have none of that.
They were gone now, but her confusion remained. It did feel nice to be appreciated, but it would have been better if it was for her and not some stranger. However, Cynthia didn’t think she ever really needed welcomes anyway. When she was travelling and hunting yoma, she was doing it because she wanted to help everyone and ensure no lives were lost. Recognition was never needed. She was just doing what was right.
Along with her confusion, she was left with feelings of concern and worry. Poor Cynthia still didn’t know what, exactly, was going on.
“I don’t understand what’s happening, but I’ll get back somehow.” She spoke gently to herself. Her comrades were out fighting and she needed to fight alongside them. She wanted very much to be there to help them. They were her friends, after all.
“I’m not sure what this is all about, but I need to help my comrades now.”
A frown. The only thing she could do now was wander and try finding out as much as she could. As worried as she felt, there was always a glimmer of hope that things would be resolved. With a determined little nod, she started walking to find whatever could be found.
