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:
Extended knowledge: Even though Battler may not look or sound like it, he’s actually very smart. Since he’s an avid reader, he knows a lot of random facts about different topics. On more than one occasion in the novel, someone has brought up a point and Battler brings up historians to support such a claim. An example would be around the third game, Battler went into the rose garden for a while and Virgilia started to speak with him. The two of them started to talk about different topic, and Battler told Virgilia that “things burn due to a chemical reaction. The phlogiston theory should have been disproved by Lavoiser,” and so on.

Stronger than most: Battler has mentioned during the beginning of the novel that he used to weight train, along with different ways of getting more fit. He’s athletic, and big guy to boot. Battler stands at about 5’11. At the end of the fifth game he demonstrated that he at least has some fighting capabilities, like when he was dubbed the gamemaster and knew just how to handle a sword. Battler’s no pushover when it comes to fighting, however he still prefers to fight with his words rather than his body.

Path to righteousness: Battler seems to have this innate sense for things that should be right and wrong. Since he is a fan of all things knightly, he has a strong sense for justice. If there’s something wrong with someone, he’ll feel the need to try and help them out- going out of his way to do so.

Who wants to play clue?: Since he's been fighting in all these different games with Beato, Battler has the ability to think up random and almost impossible scenarios in his head and relate them back to the mystery at hand. For example, in the third game there was a time when the first Twilight occurred, and he had to come up with a theory as to how all six corpses appeared in locked rooms. He soon came up with the twisted theory that one of them killed everyone and while the culprit was moving to another room, a trap was sprung and person X died. Beato was unable to repeat that in red and had to retreat to come at Battler from another angle.

The power of Blue: While Battler is just a regular human, he does gain the ability to use certain weapons to fight off witches. Even though this is entirely a move which is used in logic battles, Battler can use something called Blue Truth. In the Umineko canon there are rules that go along with these sets of text. One side, specifically the witches, can use the red text at their disposal. Red text is used when something is absolute truth and cannot be questioned as a lie. The blue, however, is a claim used to come up with a theory specifically to counter that truth. In short, using this technique is crucial for fighting back opponents in his world. While in purgatory there are logic fights constantly happening, and the best way to describe the use of the blue would be to counteract another set of text. An example would be when Beato is attempting to back Battler into a corner, she would tell him everyone locked in the room died, and Battler would have to dispute her truth. He could have a come back and say, but everyone died at different times, therefore one could say that the culprit was in the room as well before being killed. If whatever he says with the blue counters the red successfully, it would be his win in that and he could very well harm the opponent. At one point during the fourth game, Battler and Beato's fight escalated so badly that his blue truth had actually turned into forms of spear, skewering her every time he was successful in pushing her back.

Over nine something: Battler possesses extremely high anti-magic toxin. In the Umineko world there is a certain scale which indicates the level of magical resistance. Normally, the scale only goes up to eight digits, and only a select few have ever reached the level of nine digits. Apparently, the only one that have been able to reach that kind of anti-magic power are gods. Battler on the other hand, reached that level on his own. To top it off, all of his digits are nines, making his anti-magic resistance to be 999999999. With this kind of power basically anything magical is rendered useless against him, like a permanent barrier so he won't get hurt while fighting the witches in purgatory. He didn't have this kind of power in the beginning, he recently gained it while fighting an opponent in the third game. This came about after a lot of thinking on his part, what he was really fighting for, and when he got serious then this number rose to the level it is now. This ability was brought to fruition when the Siestas attempted to skewer Battler with their magical arrows. They shot it at him and it simply bounced off, shrieking over his Endless Nine powers, but Battler hardly even noticed what they had been trying to do.

Fairy Tale Role: The Green Knight
Fairy Tale Powers or Abilities: The Green Knight is a strong and charming young man. He possesses combat skills which are imperative for a knight. He can take the form of a bird, able to transform back into a human whenever he desires. In the story, the knight had given the princess a book, and when she read all the lines of the poem within everyone slept and the prince entered her room as a bird. He's able to be summoned by whoever reads all of those lines, and speak with them until the book is closed. It isn't exactly stated that he has any other abilities, but it's been shown in depictions that he knows how to ride horseback.

Personal Items:
Besides the clothes on his back, Battler doesn't carry any personal items.

First Person Sample:
[Battler is seen holding the camera up to his face, frowning as he fiddles with it.]

So I don't really know what's going on here, but I woke up and found myself in this weird place. Come on...this is another witch's game, isn't it? You’re just trying to get me riled up again, but I won’t fall for it this time...! You may have gotten me in the past you bastards, but this time I’m more determined than ever.

Even though... w...wait... Wait- how can Beato do something like this if I... [he stops, thinking for a second.] ...then this has to be one of those other witch's that did this, yeah...! Yeah that's right-! Aahh it's useless! This is definitely useless...! Such a game shouldn't exist...! It looks like I'm not even on Rokkenjima anymore!

Come on out, all you witches who keep torturing me! Don't you have anything better to do...?! This is a game between me and Beato, not you guys! I-it was you ...you witches who put me here...right...?! Kuh....! Don’t tell me this is random fragmeeeeent....! Come on come on! You're going to have to do better than thaaaat!! I swear I'll come find you and I’ll-- [The feed seems to cut off while he's in the middle of his tantrum.]
