APPLICATIONS.

[jumpscare]

APPLICATIONS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED.

Applications open on July 24 at 12:01AM EST. Please post your applications on this page!

You may app up to two characters per round. The total amount of characters you may have at this time is four. You may have two characters from the same canon, however these characters can not have met or will have no reason to do so in the future. We will decide this on a case-by-case basis.

Reserves are not a requirement. However, a reserve is an excellent way to state your intentions and to give us a heads up to research your canon and character so that we can process it faster.

If you are asked for revisions, then you have seventy-two hours to reply to the comment with what we have asked.

If you would like details on a rejection then you may PM the mod account or reply to the comment and we will be as detailed as possible.

kyouko sakura | puella magi madoka magica | reserved | 3/???

[prayer]

Powers & Abilities:

Because of the nature of her wish (manipulation), Kyouko's powers centered around illusion, i.e. fooling people with visions and being able to create multiple copies of herself. Aside from that, she was also able to charm people to be able to get what she wanted or needed. That being said, and also implied in episode seven, Kyouko is no stranger to robbery.

In the beginning of her magical girl career, Kyouko also had a special move called Rosso Fantasma named by Mami herself, which explains it's flowery kind of name. Unfortunately, after what happened with her father, Kyouko has since suppressed these powers. Instead, she uses the magic she learned afterward and relies on her agility as well. An example of her new skills are the ability to create barriers, wards, and using her magic to alter or manipulate objects (what the binoculars actually look like are visible in the background).

She is especially skilled with her spear and can use it for a multitude of things, from scaling walls, to restricting enemies, and to keep people at a distance because of the extensibility of her spear.

Items on their Person:

Whatever is in her pocket at the time (most likely pocky) and her soul gem. When not affixed to the front of her magical girl outfit, it's sealed within a ring on her finger. It doesn't have to stay a ring; all of the girls are able to call on it in its "true" form, which is shaped like something akin to an egg. From her ring, she is also able to summon her weapon: a spear that is able to separate into numerous pieces, linked by chains. A weighted metal ball at the end of this enables her to use her spear to restrain her enemies and render them immobile.

First Person Sample:

( mass text )

[ kyouko sits perched on the hood of a rundown car, cellphone in her hand as she stares out at the barren city she finds herself in. she exhales all at once and flips the phone open so that the keyboard is visible, messing with the buttons until figures out how to work out what she wants to do with the texting feature. so far she hasn't seen anyone else, but there are names in this thing, and she's not just going to sit on her ass and wait for something to happen. ]

yo. i don't know where the hell i am but i don't plan to stay here, you got that? and i'm not gonna buy this bull about not bein real. you must think i'm a real idiot. so there are other people here, right? like hell all those bags belong to one person. these guys must be idiots for putting a weapon in here, 'cause i'm gonna use it to beat the shit out of them. so, who else got these stupid pieces of paper?

Third Person Sample:

She's been squirming ever since she woke up in these bindings, yelling for whatever idiot decided to drag her here against her will. Kyouko knows what this place is -- well, kind of. It's got the feel of a doctor's office, but there's something about it adds a strange sense of fear. It doesn't matter, though. Once she gets out of here, she's going find the asshole responsible for this. The moment she feels the vibration in her pocket is the same moment she finds herself freed from the straps, and Kyouko scrambles to stand up immediately.

"Congratulations! You've been chosen to partake in the Human Regenesis Program..."

Digging her hand into her pocket, she fishes out the cell phone and flips it open a few times, checking out the keyboard. It's kind of cool. Not that this makes her any more okay with having to listen to the voice coming through it. "Hey, shut up! You're really annoying! Why won't this turn off..." Kyouko ends up listening when pressing buttons proves useless, the phone to her ear and a frown set on her face.

"... happy travels!"

Snapping the phone shut, she snorts, eyes closed as she shoves it back into her pocket. She folds her hands behind her head and walks toward the door, opening one eye to peer down at the pamphlets she passes by. She doesn't catch the titles. Doesn't care.

"Whatever, I'm not reading anything. I got shit to do." ... like finding Sayaka. "Thanks for the phone." Reaching out for the door handle, she tugs. Nothing. Another tug and still nothing. She's opened her eyes now, frustration already beginning to get the best of her. A push door, maybe? She shoulders the door, putting all of her weight on it, but all she gets from that is a sore shoulder. This is getting more and more annoying by the second.

"Hey! This is really starting to piss me off!" Kyouko slams her fists against the whitewashed doors until she grows tired of it, dragging her clenched hands down the metal with a scowl on her face, mumbling a swear under her breath. It's then, when she turns away, that she finally sees it: the world outside. There's no way that this is Mitakihara or even Kasamino. She approaches one of the large glass walls and presses her hands against it. This place is a dump, and that's probably an understatement. What if this is Mitakihara? Did Walpurgisnacht already get here? If that's the case, what happened to the other girls and Sayaka? Right -- those pamphlets. Maybe she should read them after all, get some kind of info on this place. Spying some crackers set aside, she snatches them up and pops one in her mouth, eyes still narrowed as she picks up one of the pamphlets and glances over the title. What to Do If You Aren't Real.

"Tch. What is this, some lame-ass psychology shit?" Thumbing the pamphlet open, she begins to read, eyes darting over each and every word. The further she gets, the wider her eyes become. She grabs at the second pamphlet, worse than the first. Kyouko's hands begin to tremble, brows furrowed and her teeth clenched. The sound of the paper shaking in her hands doesn't exist to her. Only the words on these shitty pieces of paper do.

"What the hell is going on here..." She crumples the pamphlets in her fist, the pointed corners leaving red marks embedded into her hand. The packet of crackers disappears fast, one shoved into Kyouko's mouth after the other until they're completely gone. "Not real my ass... What the hell is this!" In one jerky movement she turns on her heel, storming back toward the door. Raising a booted foot, she kicks at the door which opens with ease now. She's too wound up to make any kind of connection to it all.

"Hey! What the hell is going on!"
