synodiporia_ooc | CHARACTER RECLAIMS

ACCEPTED!

If you'd like, you can intro your character in the newest mingle, but we recommend you wait until the new mingle made specifically for new character introductions goes up, which will be some time in the next 48 (probably 24) hours!

We're still reviewing other apps, so luckily you caught us still on!

OH, almost forgot! Inform a mod as well if you make someone a Squire - you don't need permission, but we'll need to know how they suddenly acquired a new power!

Will do!

That sounds reasonable! The Harry Potter magic system really is more than a little ridiculous.

As a general rule, if you feel the need to repeatedly warn the moderators of a game about the sanity of what you're doing, it's probably not a good fit for the game.

An (innocently charming) assassin sex god clone with a necromantic history and a dragon's soul is the sort of thing people refer to in parody. We find no way to take the basic premise of this world seriously, APEC and all, and cannot in good faith ask our players to have their characters uncritically accept such a character without disrupting the general narrative of the game. Indeed, in an assassin who is in some ways saintly, we find contradictions that seem to undermine any single description of the character, nor do his samples seem to match the temperament described.

We are rejecting this application on the grounds that the character's description is contradictory and that the premise of the character would be disruptive to the environment of the game.

Awesome! And I completely understand. I'll send a PM with links to better descriptions as well as a video of his transformations and Complete Form Summons.

Thank you guys very much ^_^

The sad thing about a great deal of Decade, is that because it was a short series, they spent more time on story than giving detail on the technology used for their powers. So headcannon does come into play a bit with this.

While some people believe that he's summoning the actual (or Alternate Worldly) Riders, I don't think this is the case. My perspective on his summoning has pretty much always been that the cards and DienDriver create hard-light holographic replicas, with the barest of personalities programmed into them, since there are cases where they are acting slightly out of character (such as attacking unprovoked when the character is generally a good guy, or when ordered when they are rebellious). The programming, as far as i can tell, does involve personality quirks such as catchphrases and signature movements (like one guy will flick his hand before attacking for example).

So, I hope this explanation is enough to keep the Ride Cards under the power cap. If not, I'm certain we can work something out.

That should be under our powercap, yes!

So now apps are closed again?

Yes! Sorry! We'll fix that.

Ok and it says 2 months so July right?

In this case, we have a short event, followed by a 4th Wall event, so June 18th!

C H A R A C T E R;
NAME: Han Solo
CANON: Star Wars Legends
POINT IN CANON: just before the NJO series starts
AGE:53
APPEARANCE: (please provide either an image link or write a brief description, or do both - it's your choice)
Han stands about 6 feet tall and has black hair and brown or hazel eyes. He is slim and fairly solid, in good physical shape but not overly muscular. He tends toward a semi-casual type of dress, usually including his Bloodstripe, a Corellian military award in the form of his dark pants with the red stripe on the side, as well as a white long-sleeved top and his vest or a dark jacket. He’s almost always wearing his holster with at least one blaster in it, and may have another small blaster hidden in his boot at times. He almost always wears calf-length black boots.

Han probably has quite a few scars and marks gathered over the years. His world is advanced medically and even near-fatal injuries can be healed with bacta, but Han wasn’t always able to get to It most likely, so there are probably a few scars here and there.
CANON HISTORY: (we accept both WIKI links or 300 words minimum written of your characters involvement - again your choice. If apping an original character, please take 500 words minimum to describe their home universe and backstory.) http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Han_Solo/Legends
CANON PERSONALITY: (we want to see your grasp on their personality, their emotions, habits, flaws, relationships, anything and everything, 300-500 words minimum. Especially for OCs, longer is better if you're in doubt.)
Han often gives the first impression of being cocky, a little self-centered and smart-alecky. However, he does have a more caring side that can come out in the right situation. For a lot of his life, he looked out only for himself and his life-bonded Wookie partner, Chewbacca. However, he began to change and mature a bit after being around Leia and Luke during the Rebellion. He began to care about someone besides himself, namely Leia. Initially, the two couldn’t stand each other, and spent much of the first and about half the second film trading insults and snarky remarks. Leia, though, saw past the brash, irritating exterior to the man inside.

Han has a penchant for gambling, fast flying and a good, stiff drink. He isn’t Force-sensitive like the Skywalkers but makes up for it with adaptability, an ability to think fast and be resourceful, and what’s often dubbed “Solo luck”. He isn’t afraid to bend the rules and take risks to accomplish goals. He has a big stubborn streak and something of a temper, which is partly why he butts heads with Leia from time to time. They’re both the same in that respect.

For much of his life, Han didn’t even believe in the Force, saying he hadn’t seen anything to make him think it was real. That slowly changed over time as he saw what Luke and later, Leia were capable of. He sometimes feels like the odd one out due to his close friends and mate having abilities that he doesn’t, but he finds plenty of ways to make up for it, as stated above. He’s very good at solving problems and getting out of tight situations.

Han has come to love Leia by the end of the original trilogy. He sees that she will do just about anything for him, and he will fight with everything he has to protect her. He sees Luke as a little brother of sorts, often calling him “kid”. His relationship with Chewie was a combination of brothers and an almost parent-child aspect, as Chewie has been known to call him ‘Cub’.

In his youth, Han never really saw himself as a family man or father, but has adapted to family life. He's very protective of Leia and the kids. Leia's political duties and the need to hide the kids for safety have taken a bit of a toll at times on Han and Leia but they've managed to come through. If he finds out about the things that happen to his family down the road,he will likely be rather shocked and angry-in canon, he turned his back on his wayward son and was eventually willing to help Leia try to kill their son to stop the evil he was committing.

POINT OF DEPARTURE: (if OC, AU or PG, please take at least 200 words to explain the differences in background and personality from canon. Specify the game if PG, discuss the universe if AU, and then tell us how these things affected your character. If an OC, tell us how infiltrating would change your character.)
ABILITIES:
Han is a skilled pilot,able to fly just about anything with wings, although as there aren’t any flying vehicles here, he’ll be out of luck. He's a crack shot and fast on the draw, preferring to shoot first rather than second and get shot, as he once put it. In addition, he's ambidextrous and can shoot nearly as well with either hand. He's a great Sabaac player and good at other games as well. He is flexible and adaptable, able to think his way out of just about any situation, even if it's by somewhat unorthodox means. He managed several times to elude enemies like Imperial ships or Boba Fett that many others wouldn't have been able to. Unlike many of his family and friends, Han is not known to be Force-sensitive; although Jaina speculated at her wedding that he might have had a mild form of it without knowing it. He can speak and understand a number of languages, including Basic, Corellian, Shryiiwook, Rodese, Huttese, Mandaba and Ilodian to varying degree
INVENTORY; (what your character is carrying on them at the point they’re taken from) Not a whole lot, probably just his blaster in its holster and possibly some spare ammo on his belt.
ANYTHING ELSE WE SHOULD KNOW?

S A M P L E S;
ACTIONSPAM SAMPLE: (what we’re looking for is how well you know the voice of your character; we’re not looking for what’s in the action/thought brackets. 8-10 sentences should do (or 100 words minimum). We also allow a 10+ comment thread from a previous game or a thread from the test drive)
https://tushanshu.dreamwidth.org/427522.html#comments from Tu Shanshu. Lots of subthreads and comments in it.
PROSE SAMPLE: (here is where we’re looking for your character’s thoughts, their reactions, your writing ability; if this is your first character in the game, then we ask that you write out this sample, 250 words minimum. If this is your second or third character then you’re more than welcome to use a 10+ comment thread from a previous game or a thread from the test drive. if you need to write a new one and are looking for a prompt, check out the ones on the test drives.)

Han was still trying to make sense of all of this. The last thing he remembered, he’d been at home on Coruscant with Leia, and then after a weird feeling of stepping through a door, he’d been in some weird, mystical world that he thought Luke would’ve been a lot more comfortable in than him. He’d tried to take in what the locals had told him; something about pulling him into here to travel to different times and places for some kind of investigations. But they hadn’t been able to tell him exactly why the whole thing was going on.

Jaina was here so he wasn’t alone, but he had mixed feelings. She was perfectly able to handle herself with all her Jedi abilities, but as a typical dad, Han couldn’t help worrying about her being here with him. There were still things she was trying to explain, and questions he was asking, but there weren’t nearly enough answers for his liking. And he knew he was going to miss Leia and the other kids. Besides that, what was going on back home if he and Jaina were here? He just hoped things weren’t turning into chaos.

The hardest thing to get used to was the mental link. It was like the mind-meld thing that Luke and Mara were always doing, when they were quiet but it was obvious they were still talking to each other in their heads. Jaina’d already had the ability, but it still felt weird doing it with her. Not just her sending mental messages to him, but answering back even though he was definitely not a Force user.

He wasn’t sure how much he liked the idea of some unseen entity messing with his mind, possibly making him forget and remember and changing things…it made him mad. And knowing it might happen to Jaina too was even more aggravating. Han was a guy who didn’t like being pulled into things or made to do things without at least being asked first. That was something he’d made very clear when he’d been talking to the people he’d met here.

He’d have to make do, like he did in pretty much every situation he’d been thrown into over the years, since there was no way to get back home no matter how much he wanted it. But, he’d made a promise to Jaina that he’d do as much as was within his abilities to get both of them back home in one peace.

The modcreature writing this isn't sure, so just as a reminder - when apping a 4th character, you need to ask for special dispensation first, as we have a 3-per-player limit! However, it's possible you asked a different modcreature, and regardless, your dispensation is granted.
