CHARACTER RECLAIMS
From now until endgame, Synodiporia is closed to new applications. However, players who dropped or idled characters but who do not have a behavioral strike against them may reclaim characters at any time. Dungeons and app windows are no longer necessary. Simply comment below with "I'd like to bring [character (username)] back!" And we'll take it from there. Players already at 3 characters who wish to bring back a 4th or 5th may do so so long as they're current on AC. Players wishing to bring in characters above 5 may request special mod permission. If you are uncertain if you qualify to reclaim, please email us at synodiporians@gmail.com and ask! |
Mako Tsunami | Yu-gi-oh! (AU)

This is not due to the AU nature of the app; but rather to the fact that the app describes a character who does not seem to match Mako Tsunami/Ryota Kajiki in temperament. An open, friendly (if outspoken) character who was no less even-tempered and no more smug than most other melodramatic duelists is described having an excess/opposite of those traits; and his personality section does not mention his boisterous confidence, nor his fixation on searching for his father, a major element (perhaps the single defining element) of his characterization in the series. While some of this might be explicable due to the AU nature of the character, none of these changes are detailed as 'points of departure.'
Since your description of the character does seem to match the character as you have written him, just not as the series wrote him, we cannot accept this version of Mako. You are still more than welcome to apply at Synodiporia with any other character in a future application round. Thank you for taking the time to apply.

I admit that not putting in his boisterous confidence or his search for his father was on me, although I did try to capture his boisterous side in my non-threaded writing sample. However, these are things that I find could easily have been changed with a revision, instead of an outright rejection.

And regardless, our determination on an application is not something we debate or appeal.
