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!

Canon Abilities or Powers: A natural aptitude for leadership and some tactical abilities that have never been formally developed.

Fairy Tale Role: Orestes; Greek Mythology.
Fairy Tale Powers or Abilities: Nothing useful, aside from the physical perfection attributed to most Greek heroes and some ability to interpret dreams. He leaves tracks of blood behind him which are visible to those who seek him (canonically only visible to the Eumenides, but I'd expand it to everyone here). His most defining quality is that he's haunted constantly by impossible decisions - damned if he does and damned if he doesn't - which actually aren't impossible at all, and might be rather obvious to anyone not bound as he is to such overly strict and literal interpretations of laws and moral codes. I'd like to shift Enjolras into his new role by chipping away at his present confidence in the propriety/necessity of violence - dealing him out some Oresteian consequences for his decision and seeding a little doubt and regret in him he's never before had to deal with.

Personal Items: A copy of Saint-Simon's Nouveau Christianisme; a Bible; a bloodied red banner smelling strongly of gunpowder.

First Person Sample:

I thought at first this must be death; there seemed to be no other place I could have gone. I see now it can't be. I'd be in more familiar company. Or - I'll not flatter myself - alone, and punished far more severely. Whatever death is, I can't believe it would be quite so cryptic. There would be no point.

I don't know who will read this. I have nothing to say on my own behalf. My reputation is worth very little to me. One can hardly embark upon the overthrow of a tyrannical government without expecting to be slandered. There are many names and accusations I'd embrace whole-heartedly.

But never - never - have I been called something quite so vile as a prince.

And so, as a citizen of the world, I lodge my objection.

Third Person Sample:

The fire was smoking - one of the many small inconveniences of the Musain - but Enjolras hardly noticed. The heat was very welcome against the snapping cold outside, the smell was inoffensive, and the sting in his eyes could hardly compete with the energy pushing through him like a second pulse - pushing through the entire back room, in fact, although now it was somewhat less populated than it had been an hour ago. His announcement, delivered earlier in the evening, that their friends at Aix, at Toulon, at the convergence of all those strategic points in the south not only stood with them but had begun stashing not inconsiderable armories along the road to Paris had been received with the enthusiasm it deserved. They were a long way off from a nation-wide uprising, of course; and it would be weeks, perhaps months, before the necessary arms reached the city. But it was a step, a very concrete step, the sort of movement that made one glance toward the horizon. And these days, when sometimes it seemed there could be nothing to look forward to but winter, it was good to be shaken. To cast off that lazy warmth and be reminded that soon something would be burning.

But now it was late; after a few hours of animated (he would never have said giddy) discussion of the development and its possibilities, the crowd had thinned to three or four stragglers, all of whom, at least after Combeferre had finally departed, appeared to have their own business to attend to. Enjolras paid no attention to them, least of all to that perrennial straggler who might as well have been a fixture of the café. He busied himself in writing letters (so much news to spread, so many oblique terms to put it in) because, to be perfectly honest, it was more appealing than walking home in this weather, and he could write here just as well as there. He didn’t live close by - across the river and some distance away - and even though the company was dwindling, even though there was nothing inherently appealing about this place, all the same he found he wanted to stay. It was a rare moment of what might have been sentimentality; a desire to preserve the fervor that would fade slightly once everyone had left.

And then he spilled his ink, which, perhaps, served him right. He sacrificed his handkerchief to sop up the mess, turned his attention back to his (mostly unstained) letter, and left the fabric soaking at the corner of the table as though that was simply where it belonged.
