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,

History:
Since the KH wiki is sorely inaccurate, I'll throw down this abridged version:

When people lose their hearts in this series, their heart is often captured by a dark creature known as a Heartless. Their body then becomes a hollow shell, or "nobody". Strong nobodies keep their original form and conscious but it is believed they don't have hearts to feel with. Xion was part of a group of these special nobodies known as Organization XIII. They were lead by Xemnas and stationed in a castle in The World That Never Was. Their goal was to regain their lost hearts, thus regaining their ability to feel, by creating Kingdom Hearts.

Kingdom Hearts isn't extensively explained in the series, but it is said to be the heart of all worlds and thus very powerful. In order to create Kingdom Hearts though, they need a keyblade. Keyblades are the only weapons that can successfully remove hearts from Heartless. The hearts will then gather slowly in order to form Kingdom Hearts. Roxas, the thirteenth member of this Organization, could wield the keyblade. However, Xion (or No. i) was created by the Organization as a fall back plan in case Roxas proved to be useless.

Roxas, Xion, and even Axel for a time are blissfully unaware of this as they bond by eating ice cream on top of a clock tower in Twilight Town almost every day after capturing hearts. However, Roxas and Xion both start to face moments of instability and comas due to the person they are connected to: Sora. Sora is the original keybearer who was tasked with protecting the worlds from the heartless. However, because he lost his heart, Roxas was created. But due to being restored shortly after, Roxas holds none of his memories. Instead, he takes on existence as a blank slate, more than likely sustained by Ven's heart which was transferred over to him through Sora and also gives him the boy's appearance.

When Sora's memories are replaced with false ones by the memory witch, Naminé, in the Organization's second base, Castle Oblivion, the loose links of his real memories begin to link not only with Roxas but with Xion, too. Xion's purpose is to absorb memories from Sora, her power and later whole being stabilized through them. This is why she can wield the keyblade like Roxas. Because of the push and pull between her and Roxas though, Xion at one point loses this ability. It's regained with his and Axel's help.

Despite this, due to her having more unstable moments, Xion tends to get more of the bad rap. This makes her more restless and anxious to know more about herself. This is especially the case after her encounter with someone who is posing as one of the Organization members. During this fight, not only does Xion lose to the impostor but she is told that she's better off "finding a new crowd". It's a confusing mixed message for her. It doesn't help that after that fight, her body doesn't seem to want to cooperate with her, leading one of the Organization members, Saix, to calling her broken and a mistake. Xion takes this harder than she likes to admit.

Xion also begins to remember things that she thinks are from her life as a human and that strings her along to become more and more curious to discover her origins. Axel's odd behavior only makes her more curious. This eventually leads her to Castle Oblivion where she finds out the truth about herself: she is "nothing more than a puppet", or a replica of Sora's unchained memories.

She defects from the Organization and it's believed that she travels by herself until a memory episode lands her quite literally in the arms of the impostor. He turns out to be Sora's friend, Riku. He's been trying to find a way to wake Sora up who is now in the process of having his real memories linked back up. The thing is there's a snag: both she and Roxas have some of his memories. And without them? He won't wake. Despite now knowing the truth though, Xion declines to go with Riku since while she understands his dilemma, her own friends are really important to her, and her, to them.

Riku gives her time to think about things as they world hop. This is interrupted, however, when Xion is split from Riku at Twilight Town. Roxas manages to corner her in the back alley of the plaza and tries to convince her to come back to the Organization. When Xion refuses, Axel enters the scene and takes her back by force. Xion returns to her duties with the Organization and tries to get Roxas to reconcile with Axel despite the fight. All the while, she continues to deal with her dilemma concerning Sora.

As weeks go by, Roxas begins to weaken while she grows stronger. Eventually, Xion confronts Axel about the matter at hand. Xion is taking too much power and memories from Roxas and he likely won't last if things continue as they do. Xion can't get herself to act-- but then the Organization forces her hand when they decide to cast an illusion on both her and Roxas. On a mission, they envision each other as the powerful Heartless that they are supposed to eliminate and nearly destroy one another. It is only by Axel's interference that the mission is aborted, but the damage is already done.

With the Organization's motive made clear, Xion again defects and goes to seek out Riku in order to return to Sora. Riku sends her to Naminé at the Old Mansion in Twilight Town. It is there that Naminé explains the effects of her returning to Sora. Because her being is dependent on Sora's memories existing outside of Sora to sustain her, when they return to him and are only his again, no one will remember her. Despite this cost, Xion agrees to go only for their conversation to be interrupted by the sighting of an Organization member. Xion goes to confront them. It's none other than Axel who has come to stop her. Despite his protests, Xion fights him. However, she is defeated and taken back to Organization's stronghold.

There, the Organization's leader, Xemnas, is believed to have reprogrammed her and possibly force a ton of extra memories (and thus power) into her being. Xion is then sent out to confront Roxas (who has also defected by that point) and absorb him. She finds him at the clock tower in Twilight Town and after one last ice cream, she reveals the truth to him and attacks. After a heated battle throughout various worlds in various forms, Xion is defeated by Roxas. As she lays fading in his arms, she explains to him that it was her choice to return and asks him to grant her one last request: free Kingdom Hearts. Just as Roxas remembers her, Xion's consciousness fades.

...And you can find the extended edition here, if anyone ever feels that crazy to read that much.
