Application




Application Guidelines
And now, for your convenience, a general rundown of what we seek from applications. Be sure to read these before applying!


General

• Applications should not have any references from outside sources, especially Wikipedia. All of the writing should be your own.
• Watch your spelling, grammar, and capitalization. You can have a decent application length and content wise, but everything goes out the window if you can't spell or word yourself correctly. Consider reading over your application several times and running it through a spell check before submitting.
• Format your application so it is easily readable. Indent paragraphs, don't give huge blocks of text. If the moderators find it difficult to read because of this, it may be rejected based solely on that.
• Pay attention to the minimum requirements for certain application sections, listed below. You will be asked to revise them if you don't meet them the first time.


Application

PLAYER
NAME: Your name or alias.
PERSONAL LJ: Your personal LiveJournal. Not required, but preferred...
EMAIL/MESSENGER(S): Emails are required, because we need this to contact you if issues come up. It is also helpful for other players to contact you this way. Additionally, please list your usernames on AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, whatever you happen to use. Not required, but extremely recommended, because it's faster than email.

CHARACTER
NAME: Your character's name.
FANDOM: The show, book, movie, etc. that they come from. (For allowed fandoms, see the FAQ.)
TIMELINE PERIOD: At what point they are taken from in their canon - i.e., chapter 131, just before this happens, but before that.
BACKGROUND: A general survey of your character: good things to touch on would be personality, personal history, their role in canon. Abilities, too, if it's applicable, especially if they happen to be particularly godmodery. (In which case they've got to be toned down; see the FAQ for help.) The golden rule here is quality, not quantity - novels are not required. However, we would like to see at least 3 solid paragraphs.

SAMPLES
THIRD PERSON: A sample of how you would write your character in a log in [info]rivelatalogs. Minimum of 200 words.
FIRST PERSON: A sample of how your character would be speaking if they were posting in [info]rivelata. Minimum of 5 sentences.

NOTES
Anything else you need to add? Please note if your character was on reserve here, or if you're not doing a first-person sample because you've already got other characters in the game, etc., if applicable. Thanks!

CHARACTER
NAME: Fou
FANDOM: D.Gray-Man
TIMELINE PERIOD: Before the infiltration on the Black Order HQ.
BACKGROUND: Fou probably has a very long history, given how long she has 'lived'[if you could call her existence a life, granted she isn't human] but there is only so much we know. She was created from sorcery by Baks' Great-Grandfather to be the Guardian Diety of the Black Orders' Asian Branch. Throughout the years, she has served as the entrance/exit barrier of the underground building, and nobody can get through without her permission or magic that surpasses that of her creators'. For her entire life, Fou has merely been a crystallized form of the magic that binds her to the Asian Branch.

Fou has a thick shell, and often doesn't let people see what's inside. Her exterior is tough, independent, and careless towards others. She will often beat somebody for no reason, as she does to Bak quite often. Fou frequently yells, and is prone to telling people off. The short Asian girl forms strong bonds with people the more she spends time with them, as shown with Allen, even if she still comes off as uncaring and tough-love.

Underneath her shell, she's very caring. Fou would put her life on the line in seconds to save somebody she cares for. Of course, Fou cares too much for her reputation as a tough woman to show her emotions, so she will take the appearance of somebody else[like Lou Fa] to comfort someone who is down.

SAMPLES
THIRD PERSON:[Lol Copypasta for the win.]

The Barrier she resided in was mostly silent. It was certainly much quieter then the halls of the Asian Branch. But unfortunately, as Fou had come to realize many, many years ago, whenever she got silence it would never last too long. Somebody always had to come bother her. It wasn't as often now, no, not since she was trying to recuperate herself from that last fight with the Akuma that had somehow gotten in through her gate not that long ago.

Fou was still tired, oh so tired, from that fight. But luckily nobody had been hurt in it, really, maybe a few wounds but nothing too drastic -- she didn't count, she wasn't human, she was just the guardian. It was her job. She still couldn't keep her form too long outside her barrier, much to her dismay. But they left her alone; let her rest, while she gathered up her strength again. The only part that bothered her was how Bak showed up at least three times a day to either ask if she was any better, or if he was escaping work for a few moments. When she felt like it, she'd beat the living daylights out of him for bugging her a little too much.

It was that time of day again. She could hear his footsteps echoing in the hallway and she could tell it was her creators Great-Grandson just by the way his footsteps sounded. Being around so long did that to you; you began being able to tell who was coming, just by the sound of their footsteps.

It was like a routine. Even if she was sleeping, she would hear him coming and then he would call her name out. Trying to wake her, no doubt. She wondered what he'd do one day if she ignored him. But Fou wouldn't do that; poor stupid-Bak would probably have a heart attack, thinking something was wrong.

...As entertaining as the idea of him freaking out was...

"Fou!" Aha. There it was.

CHARACTER
NAME: Cain Highwind
FANDOM: Final Fantasy IV
TIMELINE PERIOD: End of the game
BACKGROUND: Cain was born in Baron; a large, industrial city with a strong military and the only nation to have acquired the technology to make airships. Cain was orphaned at an early age as his mother died in childbirth and his father, a loyal dragoon knight, died on the battlefield. Cain, along with his childhood friend (and rival) Cecil grew up under King Baron’s tutelage and when they came of age they both entered the army. While Cecil followed the King’s advice and became a Dark Knight, Cain traced his father’s footsteps and decided to become a Dragoon.

As Cain matured he noticed a young White Mage who also lived in the castle, her name was Rosa. He fell deeply in love with her, and for a time, the two of them were romantically involved. However, their relationship did not last long as Rosa began to develop feelings for Cecil that outweighed her love for Cain. The two of them broke off their relationship and Cain never really recovered from the rejection of losing Rosa. Time passed and although the three remained good friends there was some tension between them, one day as Cain returned from a mission to retrieve a magical crystal from a neighbouring town he turned to Cain and voiced his doubts in the King. When they returned the King scolded the two knights for their treachery and sent them to a remote village to deliver a ring. The two were not told anything else about their mission but trusted the king and blindly followed orders to go on to the village of Myst.

On the way there, the two defended themselves from a powerful dragon and defeated the beast. Upon arriving in the village the ring (aptly named “bomb ring”) burst into unquenchable flames that licked and decimated the entire town… apart from one, young girl called Rydia. She approached the two and challenged them for killing her mother. The two were baffled as they hadn’t laid a finger on any of the villagers, but Rydia protested that the dragon they had killed on the way here was tied to her mother’s life force and killing it, killed her too! The two reluctantly defended themselves against the small summoner girl as she called up a mighty Titan that split the Earth in two!

When Cain awoke he was separated from the girl and Cecil. There was no way that he could follow them over the huge crevasse, so he returned to Baron. When he got back to the Castle he was greeted by a tall, armoured man named Golbez. Golbez was a powerful and vengeful Necromancer who took control of Cain’s mind to use him for his own purposes. Cain’s mission was to hunt down the next mysterious crystal, and when he arrived at the crystal chamber he came across Cecil and some of his new friends. Cain challenged Cecil to a duel and won in a heartbeat, he turned to Rosa (who had run after Cecil) and exclaimed to her “Who’s the stronger man now?!” At that moment Golbez appeared and took not only the crystal, but Rosa too!

CHARACTER
NAME: Cross Marian.
FANDOM: D.Gray-man.
TIMELINE PERIOD: Post-147, after he disappears with Maria.
BACKGROUND: Cross is a General in the Black Order, which is a group of Exorcists whose main purpose is to battle the Earl of the Millennium, a strange and evil man who creates Akuma, essentially reanimated souls of the dead-turned-monster (although they are a bit more complicated than that, but that's another story), as well as the descendants of Noah who currently serve under the Earl.

Cross is first introduced as the master of Allen Walker, another Exorcist in the Black Order. Cross is the one who takes him in as a child and teaches him how to utilize his Innocence (essentially, a weapon forged from a strange material that was left by an ancient civilization long ago, perhaps in the time of Christ), and "raises" him in place of his deceased adoptive father (although Cross is arguably a horrible and somewhat abusive caretaker). Once he decides Allen is ready to be recruited by the Order, he sends him off on his own - after knocking him out with a mallet and disappearing completely - to find the headquarters and find his place without his help. Cross did not appear again for years.

Shown largely in various flashbacks, Cross seems to have quite a reputation. Allen illustrates that his master is a horrible person, with a penchant for drinking, gambling, womanizing, and wracking up insanely large debts which he has always been expected to pay for. Strangely enough, in spite of the dreadful tales, many (especially women) seem to revere Cross Marian as a powerful and respectable individual. Anita, a courtesan from China whom Allen and his friends come across in their journey to seek out the elusive General, implied that she had a deep love for him and would do just about anything in order to assist him - and she is just one of the many who have apparently fallen to the wayside because of his "charm."

Being one of the few remaining Generals alive, he's an extremely valuable and powerful asset to the Order. His power is displayed when he finally makes an appearance relatively recently, taking down a formidable foe (Tyki Mikk, one of the Noah family) which Allen seemed incapable of even touching. It is also discovered that he wields more than one Innocence - first, his gun, Judgement (British spelling, with the "e"), which seems to be capable of taking on several forms (so far, a gun and a crossbow-like appearance have been shown) with several attacks, usually with religious names, such as Arrow of Original Sin. The shots of the gun tend to place a seal down on the target when they connect, a symbol of a headless, armless naked woman with wings enclosed in a circle. Secondly, he wields the Innocence of a dead woman named Maria, who uses her voice (which serves as the weapon) to his will. With it, she has some measure of control over people's minds and even Cross' if he tells her to do so, and is also capable of putting up something called the "Magdala Curtain", a shield of invisibility that can be placed on whoever Cross commands her to.

CHARACTER
NAME: Rhode Kamelot
FANDOM: D. Gray-man
TIMELINE PERIOD: 130+
BACKGROUND: There is very little known about Rhode's past; The only fact the manga has revealed so far is that she is the 'First Child' of the Noah Family. She spends all of her time living with the Earl in Mitsuboshi, so it is assumed she has no family outside of the Noah. In the manga canon, it is seen that she attends school as any other human child, and often disobeys the Earl in the interest of entertaining herself. She has met Allen (and apparently developed some level of affection for him along the way) two times, the first of which was in the Rewinding Town. After torturing Allen, Rinali, and Miranda, she grew bored and left, but not before Allen had the chance to kill her and deferred. The second and most recent time she met Allen was in the Ark, where she greeted him with an enthusiastic kiss. She fought him (and tortured his friends) after he 'defeated' Tiki Mick, and supposedly 'died' when Ravi defeated her. She's alive and well, however, and in the new Ark with the Earl and the rest of the clan.

CHARACTER
NAME: Sawada Tsunayoshi
FANDOM: Kateyko Hitman REBORN!
TIMELINE PERIOD: Future Arc: The night before the Attack
BACKGROUND: Tsuna was never good at anything. School work, making friends, or asking out the girl of his dreams. He failed at everything. Maybe it was because his mother was a pushover and never drove Tsuna to excel, or maybe because his dad was never home. Tsuna lived a boring, semi-normal, failure life, until one day when his mother decided to hire a home tutor for her son. That tutor would change Tsuna's life.

The tutor was like no other. He was about the size of a baby, yet dressed in a black suit with a matching hat, and carried a green lizard around with him. Also more importantly, he was a Mafia hitman. Reborn, as the tutor was called in Italy, came to teach Tsuna how to become the Tenth boss of the Vongola family in Italy. At first Tsuna wanted nothing to do with this baby that carried guns, used explosives on him, and beat him senseless just about every two minutes, but eventually Reborn grew on him.

Through Reborn, Tsuna made friends for the first time in his life, or as Reborn called them, his Family. Gokudera, Yamamoto, Ryohei, Hibari, Lambo and others came to be known as the Vongola 10th's Guardians. A group only know as the Varia came to Japan to face off against Tsuna and his Family in a conflict known as the Ring Conflict. They would fight to decided who was the owner of the Volgola Rings, the symbol of the Vongola Family. In the end, Tsuna and his Family defeated the Varia, and was decided as the true Vongola Tenth, even if he refused to accept the position.

The reason Tsuna, a no good weakling, was able to defeat Varia, a covert group of elite hitman, was through the use of his Dying Will. Reborn's pet Leon, is able to produce special bullets. These bullets called the Dying Will bullet, produces a flame on Tsuna's head, allowing his access to powers usually only reserved for someone on their deathbed to experience increased strength, speed, energy and courage. It basically removes the body's inhibitors allowing access to his true strength. Later on Leon creates a pair of mittens for Tsuna that when used with the Hyper Dying Will caused by the Rebuke Bullet(or a special pill) turn to fighting gloves that also harness the Dying Will flame usually located on his forehead.

During Dying Will mode Tsuna gets incredibly strong and determined, however after it is over he usually goes back to his whiny, weak willed state.

SAMPLES
THIRD PERSON:
Tsuna laid asleep in his small bed, well after his alarm had gone off almost an hour earlier. A bubble of snot popped as his mother shook the boy awake. The spiky haired boy rolled off his bed into a pile of dirty clothes with a yelp.

"Moooom, I don't wanna go to school..." he said as he sat up in his little pajamas, wiping the sleep from his eyes. Today his mother would not have it and told him to get dressed and ready.

"Fine, I'm going," Tsuna answered putting on his school clothes, and running a comb through his messy hair. He would have to run to school to get there on time as usual but at first he was smart enough to grab a piece of toast on the way out.

As he hurried to school he nearly fell as a small little dog barked at him, scaring the poor boy.

"P-P-Please go away dog!" Tsuna pleaded only to have the dog bark at him again. It was funny somewhat, a high school student being threatened by a 2 pound dog. In the end Tsuna handed over his toast and was allowed on his way, hearing the school bells in the distance.

"Oh no...I'm late..." he complained, picking up his pace.

SAMPLES
THIRD PERSON:
He is seen as the reserved leader of ever willing imputality and elegance in trivial matters.What really matters most is the smile streaked across his face as he watched his world fall right into place. He leans back onto the wall behind him, letting his cold uprising feeling awake him, he turned to face the other direction to try to fall asleep again, regardless of the fact that
This was not his normal bedroom
In his normal house
in Italy.
He cocked his head forward and slowly raised his eyes open.The room felt like a single cell room in jail, The door was bared in, and he was obviously locked out.Not only was his in pain from his sleeping postion, he now had blood dripping down his face. Slowly, with shaking hands, he felt his now injured right eye.
"That's just all I need to make this day better~" He spoke sarcasticaly, spreading his legs out in front of himself and holding his right hand over his right eye. "just...where the hell could I be~" he spoke, laughing in an upset yet imature mannner.
"Oh it's alright, I only see this as a new opprotunity at retaking my place as a leader."
He sands, and runs his hands over the bared room window. Crying is only percieved by those in fear... but in a sadistic manner, he listen to the quiet whimpers of those around him.
Another smile passed onto his face, he furrowed his eyebrows and looked in both directions.
"So... I'm not alone~"

FIRST PERSON:
I've already taken care of that Kyoya Hibari Boy, If this is really the best that Nanimori's forced have against me, I should be dammed. This is likely the easiest mission I have EVER taken on~♥
But, I'm hoping as the day comes to a start, Juudaime realizes who the true target is~♥
I'm already prepared to meet him again. He sounded so interesting!
Now, I'm heading downstairs, may this be a log before the battle.
Ciao~♥
-Mukuro R.

NOTES:
I applied a short while ago ♥
and Mukuro's eye got scratched out because they thought it was some kind of eye disease, that explains the whole bleeding thing. That also takes place when he first wakes up to the ship :i
mehhh. this is the 2nd app i've done today~ I hope it doesn't sound lazy.

CHARACTER
NAME: Dr. Gregory House
FANDOM: House M.D.
TIMELINE PERIOD: End of season 2 during "No Reason".
BACKGROUND: House is the head of the Diagnostics Department at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey. He's a board certified specialist in nephrology and infectious diseases, but his real specialty is solving medical mysteries and puzzles that have other doctors stumped. It would be a mistake, however, to assume that any of this makes him a compassionate, caring healer, or even a vaguely nice person to be around. House's sarcasm is matched only by his misanthropy: he makes a habit of being downright rude to patients (if he can't avoid interacting with them all together) and of manipulating and bullying those around him until he gets his way. He gets away with doing so for one reason: he's a genius, one of the best (if not the best) diagnosticians in the world; he's brilliant, he's almost always right, and he solves cases that no one else can solve.

House is also a cripple and a drug addict, both of which (well, certainly the former at least; his history of experimenting with substances of dubious legality extends back as far as his adolescence) are the result of an aneurysm in his leg that clotted, leading to an infarction. He experienced massive muscle cell death but he refused to allow his leg to be amputated. He requested, instead, to be put into a chemically induced coma after surgery had restored circulation in his leg. His intention was to sleep through the worst of the pain, but while he was unconscious, his girlfriend and medical proxy at the time, Stacy, consented to surgery to remove the damaged thigh tissue. The operation left him with only partial used of his leg and chronic near-debilitating pain. He uses a cane when he walks and he manages his pain with vicodin, often popping two or more of the pills at a time and always exceeding the recommended dosage per day.

House dislikes the complications that come with most personal relationships. He has never been close to his family, especially his father who was a pilot in the U.S. Marines and whose extremely strict and dictatorial rule constituted a de facto physical and emotional abuse throughout most of House's childhood. (Growing up on military bases House did learn to speak a range of languages including Spanish, Hindi, Mandarin, and Japanese). His romance with Stacy crumbled not long after the infarction in his leg. Now, he has only one friend—James Wilson, PPTH's head of Oncology. House doesn't consider himself at all close to his three underlings (doctors Cameron, Foreman, and Chase). In fact he's done everything within his power to deflect and dissuade anything that might approach affectionate feelings towards him on any of their parts. He's a steadfast skeptic with regards to anything mystical or supernatural and a nearly militant atheist. He's even been known to berate terminal patients for taking comfort in their belief in an afterlife.

House has made such a habit of being miserable that it's hard for him to even imagine anything else. Or at least that's what he wants the world around him to believe; it's easier than admitting that he might be too scared of being hurt to allow himself the risk of actually feeling something good. After all, if you're already miserable, at least no one can take your happiness away from you, right?

CHARACTER
NAME: Riku Replica, Replica, Riku.
FANDOM: Kingdom Hearts: CoM
TIMELINE PERIOD: Right after he leaves Sora, telling him to take care of Namine and that one doesn’t need to be “real” to see how “good” Sora is.
BACKGROUND: Riku—or it would be better corrected as the Riku Replica—has lead an existence that really isn’t much of an ‘existence’ to begin with, particularly to those in The Organization. Created to be used as a tool, a distraction, a sacrifice, the Replica had been ordered to chase after Sora and confuse the living daylights out of him, to fight and destroy the Real Riku—or to be better put, make The Organization’s job a heck of a lot easier.

But like all corrupt organizations were doomed to fail, this one was not so different; much of the members were too busy squabbling with one another to really pay much attention to the lone puppet-boy loitering in the back of the room, or wandering the halls aimlessly, taunting Sora or chasing after Real Thing, or watching Namine color her pretty pictures. And although he’s come to realize that he is in fact a mere replica, he’s still very much emotionally immature--capable of walking around with a large ego and air of confidence. He’s also extremely self conscious of himself, no doubt due to the fact that he’ll always and forever be burdened by the thought of being someone else’s shadow.

Because of the false memories implanted in his ‘heart’ by Namine, he has a hard time relating to things on a personal level, confused by these feelings that aren’t his, and that belong to someone else. He isn’t sure if the color blue, or yellow are really his favorite colors, or if the sound of the ocean has the soothing effect only because it did with the Real Riku. He’s very frustrated on the inside, and is on the borderline of honestly hating himself for it. The Replica abhors the Real Thing, so wouldn’t that mean he hates himself as well?

Even so, there are some good qualities hidden underneath that haggard and rough exterior. As often as he is completely forgotten, the Replica still has some redeeming traits—if, well, one chooses to see them as so. Never the less, as small as the role he has, he’s still managed to grow into his own person, whether he realized it himself or not. In the end, when it really counted, the Replica showed that he really wasn’t the enemy The Organization made him play the role of. And, in a true act of chivalry, he left Namine in the secure hands of Sora and went off to find himself, perhaps in more ways than one, and face his “fate”.

CHARACTER
NAME: Luxord
FANDOM: Kingdom Hearts II
TIMELINE PERIOD: After the second round to Port Royal, but before his defeat.
BACKGROUND:
A time ago, Luxord used to be a Somebody, a person with a real heart and real memories to fill it with. He even used to have a different name, a different appearance… perhaps even a differently ‘personality’ than the one he fashioned for himself. But it matters little for the Nobody now. What he now lacks in a heart, he makes up with the power to control time and exceptional luck to make things go his way.

When Sora first encountered Luxord, it was a simple meet-and-not-so-much-greet between the boy and the remaining members of Organization XIII. They had come to do nothing more but mock the boy and in those few moments, Luxord had come to consider Roxas/Sora as nothing more than a would-be player to one of his future games. Sure enough, the Gambler of Fate gotten his chance in Sora's second return to Port Royal.

At first, it was pure curiosity that brought Luxord to port. He had an experiment in mind, to test how much of a value 'cursed pirate gold' could be the Organization's efforts. But his experiment quickly turned into another one of his would-be games when Roxas-turned-Sora and his friends shown up. While merely promising the chest of cursed gold to Sora, he proceeded to steal four gold pieces, cursing the boy's pirate-friend, Jack Sparrow, to further the odds of his game.

In the end, the boy managed to recover all the stolen pieces from Nobodies and even defeat Luxord's Grim Reaper Heartless. Though his experiment could be deemed a failure, Luxord didn't show much in the way of this little misfortune. After all, he still considered it a small victory when he held the Heart released from the Grim Reaper in his possession and with that, he took off unscathed.

Luxord is a man of gambling, relying heavily on his luck to pull him through battle. Ultimately, while this is his greatest asset to his already unorthodox style of combat, it is also his greatest weakness. And for a being that never turns down a good game, it can be rather damaging if the stakes are high and Lady Luck isn't at his beck and call. Another one of his great assets is his charm, the flair he puts to his style outside of battle. Luxord possessed an expansive vocabulary and with it, a definite way with his words. He is charming, flattering when the situation deems fit to be, but underneath it all, it is usually nothing, but a ruse. He always has an ulterior motive working under that facade of a smile.

CHARACTER
NAME: Rosa Farrell
FANDOM: Final Fantasy IV
TIMELINE PERIOD: Towards the beginning of the game, after she is cured of Desert Fever and before her kidnapping to the Tower of Babel.
BACKGROUND: Being of noble blood and having a Dragon Knight for a father, Rosa was never thought of as a suitable match for Cecil, whose origins and parentage were unknown. Her admiration for the ambitious man would not go on unrecognized over time, nor could it be denied.

Rosa also lost her father when she was young. As such, she deeply sympathizes with Cain. Despite the fact of their friendship and relationship, however, her romantic interests were underdeveloped in their long friendship, and blossomed as it grew along with Cecil's growth and inspiration. Rosa enrolled in the Baronian army in order to protect and be close to those she cared for, Cain among them. Her greatest motivating factor, however, was to be closer to, and remain and fight alongside of, Cecil as her own mother had done with her father.

Life and missions at Baron were standard and more or less uneventful during the early days of their service for the King. Trouble began after Rosa received word of the events in the village of Mist. Rosa went in search of Cecil and made it as far as the desert oasis of Kaipo, but came down with desert fever. She was cured with the help of Cecil and their new friends with the Sand Ruby and, once well, was able to insist upon following them to defend the crystals.

Rosa is readily trusting of others; trusting people first until something is done to give reason to break that trust. She is also capable of forgiveness and understanding, being the first to forgive Cain for his betrayal and holding nothing against him after seeing his repentance with her own eyes (though this occurs later on). She is sensitive to the feelings of others and wise to respond to them in the best manner that she knows how, gently or bluntly, as well as careful to present or conceal her own emotions or intentions for the better outcome. She can be somewhat impulsive when she needs to press her point or pursue her goals. These are always focused on other people, though, and overall Rosa is genuine and patient, making for both a good listener and teacher.

CHARACTER
NAME: Ravi
FANDOM: D. Grayman
TIMELINE PERIOD: Chapter 148. (Most recent)
BACKGROUND: Very little is actually known about Ravi's actual past, but we do know that he aspires to become the next "Bookman" of the D. Gray universe; which basically means he travels around the world and records history as he sees it. (Unfortunately, Ravi seems to be having some trouble carrying this out like his mentor, the current Bookman, is doing. Since he seems to have some sort of attachment to the exorcists, he is having trouble not interfering with history in order to save them. He seems to have cast aside this ambition for the time being in order to better protect his friends.) We have also been told that "Ravi" is actually an alias, the 49th one that he has used so far. He has a photographic memory and can remember everything he's seen (a very handy tool for being a Bookman). He is also an exorcist, and possesses a size-shifting hammer that is capable of executing various attacks in canon, as well as flying. His attitude towards the other members of the Black Order is generally cheerful and nice - he seems to enjoy teasing Allen and Kanda. Apparently he was much more cold-hearted in the past, but he's become a lot friendlier over time. Though it hasn't been shown, it can be assumed that he talks to/is friends with Kanda outside of missions. As of late, he's basically just been following the main protagonists of the story around defeating Akuma, looking for General Cross, and eventually even ending up on what seems to be the original "Ark" made by Noah. In the most recent installments, he has been hanging out in the hospital recovering from the fights on the Ark, as well as waiting for his Innocence to be repaired.

CHARACTER
NAME: Johnny C. a.k.a. Nny
FANDOM: Johnny the Homicidal Maniac by Jhonen Vasquez
TIMELINE PERIOD: After volume 7 (appropriate, because at the end of volume 7 - which is the final volume - he leaves his hometown for nowhere in particular)
BACKGROUND: Nothing in canon is revealed about Johnny's past - in fact, it is hinted that he has forgotten everything about his life. He doesn't know who or where his family is (or if they're even still alive), has only vague memories of his childhood (mostly of being bullied at school), and has no proof that 'Johnny' is even his name. (Nor does he know what the C. stands for.)

Johnny is a 20-something-year-old male who lives in an unspecified American city, possibly Los Angeles. He wears lots of black, big boots and stripey shirts, he writes in a diary, and he has a pet bunny ... whom he nailed to the wall. Three years ago.

Also, Johnny kills people. He kills people a lot.

It's hard to say why. Johnny himself does not really know. At one point in canon, it is revealed that he must collect their blood to paint a certain wall in his house - if he does not, then a monstrous creature from behind the wall will emerge and destroy everything. However, this can't be his only motivation, for he frequently kills people without letting them into his house or collecting their blood, and often cites extremely trivial reasons for doing so (some prime examples from volume 3: "You tried to trip me once!" "Your lazy eye disturbs me!" and the classic, "Stop trying to bring back bell bottoms!"). Jhonen Vasquez - the author - has said himself that giving Johnny true motivation for his crimes would cheapen the character, and it's hard not to agree. Johnny is spontaneous, in a way that makes him both amusing and mysterious.

Johnny is not proud of himself. He hates what he has become, and frequently contemplates suicide (succeeding at the end of volume 4 only to be brought back to life when both Heaven and Hell reject him). However, he actually believes he is immortal - citing the fact that he has engaged in highly dangerous behaviour and walked away unscathed, and the fact that he's never been caught or even felt threatened by the authorities.

Believe it or not, Johnny's not a monster. One thing to always keep in mind is that he does have morals - for example, when Jimmy (a.k.a. Mmy) - a young man who claims to be his 'admirer' - shows up, and reveals that he raped and a killed a young girl (a crime which Johnny himself was blamed for by Tess, one of his many victims), Johnny is disgusted, screams that he would never do that, and kills Jimmy, calling him 'an abomination of mental subversion'. He also plays something of a big-brother roll to Squee, a small child who lives next door to him (although Squee is more frightened than reassured by Johnny's various attempts to teach or inspire him, that's not how Johnny sees it). And, at one point, he even goes on a date with a girl named Devi, who he seems to care for very much - unfortunately, when he realizes that she has made him happy, he attempts to 'immortalize the moment' by killing her, and scares her away. This is largely thanks to Psycho-Doughboy and Mr. Eff, two very prominent voices in his head, who are eventually destroyed by the creature from behind the wall.

Johnny hates two things above all else: sleep, and emotion (especially need and desire). At the end of the series, he leaves home, and writes in his diary that: "The passions that drive us should be the ones we respect and admire. To feel contempt for one's own motivations is a vulgar thing. Too often, it seems, I've succumbed to less than admirable compulsions driven by this furiously reprehensible machine of mine. So many things inside that I can do without - desires and urges and whatnot. So extraneous. By the time I write in this book again, I hope to be as cold as the moon that lights this page."

That's where [info]rivelata will come in.

CHARACTER
NAME: Sam Winchester
FANDOM: Supernatural
TIMELINE PERIOD: In episode 3.11 Mystery Spot after Sam hunts the trickster down after three months. The instant after the trickster says “Meaning that’s for me to know and you to find out” and snaps his fingers.
BACKGROUND: Sam Winchester was born to John and Mary Winchester. He had one older brother, Dean. Their lives seemed like fairly normal happy ones. Unfortunately, Sam had latent psychic abilities that caught the attention of the yellow eyed demon, Azazel. To make sure Sam’s potential powers woke up, Azazel fed six month old Sam some of his blood. Even more unfortunately, Mary walked in on this and was killed in a brutal fashion by the demon. The Winchester boys were woken up to the world of the supernatural and set on their path of becoming hunters.

Sam himself wanted a normal life. He was constantly moved around by his father without explanation. His brother and father kept him in the dark on the existence of demons and monsters until Sam figured it out himself at the age of eight. When he was old enough he joined John and Dean in hunting supernatural creatures. After high school Sam decided to go to college, instead of continuing the family business. His father told him if he left he couldn’t come back, so Sam left.

In college, Sam made a good life for himself and began dating Jessica Moore. He kept the truth from his friends, and all was going well until one night Dean stumbled back into his life. Their father had gone missing and Dean needed Sam’s help finding him.

Their search was unsuccessful and Sam returned to his new home, and to disaster. He witnessed Jessica die the same way his mother had all those years back. After that he joined his brother, turning back to the life of a hunter.

CHARACTER
NAME: Sephiroth
FANDOM: FFVII
TIMELINE PERIOD: Post-DoC, whatever really amounts to 'present day'
BACKGROUND: Once upon a time, an alien virus crash-landed into the Planet, made several attempts to make nice with the locals, failed that, and was nearly destroyed in the backlash. This is hardly her--for indeed, this alien virus was a she--story, but it's a beginning. And as good as any other. Flash-forward to a time closer to the present but not quite. Grass grows. Flowers wilt. Clouds pass over the sky. Your standard montage of the world growing old.

Sephiroth was born from two regular human beings that happened to be scientists around the time the alien virus's body was discovered and mistakenly thought to be one of the Ancients--a people as old as they sound--whom they named Jenova. And so they inject her cells into this child.

Forward again and he is the leader of an army and a very good General. The Shinra Company's prize possession and most prominent figurehead. People stare. Watch in awe. Little boys with hair like the rear end of a chocobo idolize him. All seems well.

Forward again to a routine check on a mako reactor brings him up close and personal with a monster that makes him question everything that's happened in his life. He squirrels himself away in a musty old library for a couple of nights reading everything he can about the experiments going on in Nibelheim, goes batshit insane, torches the town, and proceeds to hie himself off back to the reactor where his mom's waiting for him. And by his mom, I mean Jenova. Yeah. Somehow the web of lies works like that.

His companions give chase, he cuts off his mother's head, gets tossed into a reactor, and, for all intents and purposes, lies dead for a couple of years wherein horrible things happen to his companions, one of them dies, the other's memory turns into a patchwork quilt of what actually happened and what he thinks happened. By the time his consciousness reawakens, Sephiroth is still crazy, still bent on destroying the world, and Cloud is very much against this. He kills Sephiroth. Again. Sort of. Fangirls wept. And then swooned because Cloud visualizes him half-naked.

Sephiroth reappears again a year after that by taking over the body of another one of Jenova's 'sons,' fights Cloud, is defeated, and promises that this is not the end!

The end. (Other things happen, but the events of DoC have very little bearing on anything about Sephiroth except for details of his past. I haven't played Crisis Core, I don't know any curveballs that might throw. For the purposes of RP, I've given him back a close approximation of his sanity. This erases the extremely large problem of Sephiroth attempting to kill anyone who approaches and the humiliation that my Sephiroth muse would suffer by not being able to kill them as other players tend to frown upon that.)

CHARACTER
NAME: Squall “Leon” Leonhart
FANDOM: Kingdom Hearts II
TIMELINE PERIOD: Post-KH2
BACKGROUND: Squall grew on in Radiant Garden with Aerith, Yuffie, and Cloud. He was very much a loner when he was in his adolescent years and reaching his adulthood he became to open up to his friends. Squall would assume the leader position for their group, especially after their world was destroyed by the Heartless. He looked after Aerith and Yuffie when they arrived at Traverse Town. It is then that Squall assumes the name ‘Leon’ because he was unable to protect the people he cared about when the heartless invaded their home.

They are later given the task to help the keyblade bearer when he comes to Traverse Town. At first Leon couldn’t believe that Sora was the keyblade master, but after a battle in testing Sora’s skills, he accepted it. He then acts as a guide to Sora and offering any help that he can for the young brunette in battling heartless and trying to find his friends.

It’s after Sora locks Hollow Bastion that Leon, Aerith, Yuffie and Cid returned to their home and help to rebuild it. It is a year later that they are reunited with Sora, Donald and Goofy again. And Leon relies on him to help him from time to time with some tasks as well as resuming his role as a guide for Sora whenever necessary.

Squall has a trademark scar in between his eyes, on the bridge of his nose. It’s unknown as to where he got his scar. He also wears a silver necklace that is in the shape of a lion’s head—he calls the lion ‘Griever’. Squall also wields a gunblade, a cross between a sword and a revolver.

Leon’s short term plans seem to fall under protect Hollow Bastion and restoring it to the way it was before the heartless attacked. Slowly but surely, Squall has been able redeem himself in his eyes from the way he was when the heartless first entered their lives.

CHARACTER
NAME: Zidane Tribal
FANDOM: Final Fantasy IX
TIMELINE PERIOD: At the end of the game, after Kuja's death but before Zidane is reunited with Garnet.
BACKGROUND: Zidane was found in the city of Lindblum at a very young age and taken in by a man called Baku. Baku - leader of a theatre troupe by the name of Tantalus - treated him much like a son, and Zidane was eventually accepted into the group. Tantalus traveled from place to place, acting out various well-known plays, but this was simply a disguise for the group's real identity as thieves. Often they would put on impressive performances while other members took advantage of the distractions to steal what they wanted. Zidane proved to be a natural at both stealing and acting, his body and mind as sharp and nimble as the other, and Tantalus became his family.

Growing up, Zidane often questioned his life and where he'd come from. He had been born with a prehensile monkey-like tail, which, while not too unusual for Gaia's standards, was unusual when coupled with the fact that the only thing he could remember of his origins was a strange blue light. More than once, he left the troupe to travel the world in some attempt to discover his past and his homeland, but he found nothing. Whenever he returned, Baku would beat him for disloyalty, but it still wouldn't discourage Zidane's curiosity.

Eventually, when Zidane was a teen, Tantalus' quarry moved onto bigger forms of treasure: Princess Garnet of Alexandria. They successfully performed a play on her sixteenth birthday and secretly kidnapped her, but the plan went disastrously wrong when they crash-landed in a forest and the princess was missing, presumably dead. While Baku's main concern was his group, Zidane left Tantalus once again to go after her, both out of a combination of his weakness for a pretty girl and his strong sense of morality. Throughout the game both his flirtatiousness around women and his surprising empathy and selflessness are shown, whether for friends, rivals or strangers alike.

After rescuing Garnet, along with the help of Steiner, a knight sworn to protect the princess, and the timid black mage, Vivi, among other members who eventually joined the group, Zidane was pulled into an adventure that could decide the fate of the world. Garnet revealed that she wanted to be stolen, and wanted to run away from her mother, Queen Brahne, who was gradually becoming more and more corrupt, greedy and power-hungry. Using black mage technology, she invaded other nations and easily crushed them. Garnet attempted to put a stop to her mother's plans with the help of the party. While there was some conflict in the group, Zidane generally acted as leader of the party and charmed those around him with his upbeat, playful personality and his less obvious, more mature and understanding side.

Later, it was revealed that Queen Brahne had been corrupted by a mysterious man named Kuja, who seemed intent on causing the deaths of thousands. When she was eventually killed by him and Garnet crowned queen of Alexandria, Zidane found that he missed her and what before had been light-hearted flirting had turned into love in their travels together. Eventually Kuja destroyed Alexandria, and so Garnet and the rest of the group head off after Kuja again.

This lead them to another world called Terra, a 'parasite' world feeding off of Gaia to survive, where Zidane finally discovered his past. He was created by a man named Garland as a Genome, a vessel designed like many other identical Genomes to eventually contain the soul of a Terran once the world was restored. Garland had created Kuja, a special Genome known as an 'Angel of Death', to spread widespread destruction at such a level it would disrupt Gaia's cycle of souls and replace them with Terra's. In doing so, Terra would be restored. Zidane was created as a replacement to Kuja once his limited life came to a close, and, enraged upon learning this, Kuja left Zidane in the very world he planned to destroy.

CHARACTER
NAME: Yu Kanda
FANDOM: D.Gray-Man
TIMELINE PERIOD: Manga-verse, current chapter.
BACKGROUND: Not much is really known about Kanda's past, and being the speak-little character that he is, he's not about to elaborate on the details. What is known was that he was taken into the Black Order as a child when discovered that he was one of the few beings in the world able to sync Innocence and become an Exorcist.

The Innocence he uses is within a katana he calls "Mugen". With a blade that can slice through virtually any solid substance in existence, the sword is also capable of allowing Kanda to call forth illusions that create an even more damaging effect on his opponents. "Kaichuu Ichigen", Kanda's most notorious illusion that summons demonic insects, is pretty much Kanda's "finishing move"; anyone on the wrong end of such an attack might as well consider themselves dead.

Another notable trait on Kanda is the tattoo of an OM over his left breast. No one knows what this tattoo truly symbolizes or where it came from. Kanda is obsessed with looking for a particular "person", perhaps the one responsible for giving his tattoo in the first place. However, it does seem to be connected with his strange ability to heal any grievous physical wounds at his own life-force's expense.

One's perception of Kanda varies depending on how much that person is willing to look at him. To most, they see a cold-hearted individual who cares for nothing, fights effectively with little passion, and views humanity as a flock of beings to be sliced by his sword if they stand in his way. A select few, on the other hand, who are willing enough to force themselves past his barriers, see that there is far more to Kanda than he lets on. They take note of his willingness to take an akuma's bullet at the last minute. He's not kind to them, but they take that as simply a part of who he is. To them, there is a reason for his distance, even if they will never know what that reason might be.

There is, however, no doubt about Kanda's violent nature. His glare alone can nearly make any man worth his salt soil his pants. When engaged in battle, he is a death machine gone berserk, giving very little regard to surrounding scenery, buildings, people, what-have-you that are between him and his enemy. He kills without mercy and apologizes for nothing.

Currently, Mugen has been destroyed, and Kanda is once again a normal person (with the exception of his Om). That still does not prevent him from fighting Akuma, even if he has to break every katana on Earth in order to do it! The tattoo on his chest now has a large near-completed circle surrounding the Om, which may or may not spell out bad news for this unusual Exorcist.
