Applications
THIS APPLICATIONS PAGE IS NOW RETIRED. TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION, GO HERE.
As of April 1st, 12:00CDT, applications have opened.
The Application Explained.
Please post the application to the character journal and post a link to this page. In addition, please check for spelling and grammar prior to submitting the application. Applications that are error-ridden to the point of severely affecting clarity may merit revisions or rejection.
OOC Information:
Name: Whatever handle you go by.
Are you over 15? If not, sorry but stop here.
Contact: Should we feel the need to contact you privately, what is your preferred method?
Current characters in the game: Include preincarnation's name and canon, or none if applicable - please do NOT delete this section entirely!
IC Information:
Name: If the names of the Preincarnation and Reincarnation are different, please specify. Remember that your character will have a human name.
Canon and Medium: Please note that only well-established (significant source material published, with viable translations available in English) canons are acceptable here; we do not accept self-published canons due to potential conflicts of interest.
Age: If the preincarnated age and the new life's age differs, please specify.
Preincarnation Species: Their original species, if known.
Preincarnation Appearance: A concise description or link to an image will do.
Any Differences: Remember that only a normal human appearance will be acceptable, except in cases when the character will begin as a terrestrial animal.
Starting Location: What Echo boundary is your character starting in? Current locations: 1) Locke City, NJ, USA. 2) Las Vegas, NV, USA.
Preincarnated History: What happened to your character in their canon? You don't need to explain the entire series to us, just the relevant parts in regards to the character's development, and some context to make sure it makes sense. Headcanon should be written in italics.
If you prefer you may write a bare-bones history and post a link to a wiki or resource that covers more details. If the character is an original character, please outline the world they live in as well.
Reincarnated History: What happened to your character that got them to this point in their normal, human life? While a lot of information isn't necessary here, please give us a clear picture of who they are now and where they'll be headed in the context of the game. If you're re-apping a character you previously played, please include their experiences in-game and what they've been doing in the mean time as well.
First Echo: What caused their first Echo, and what did it give them? Players may choose events from the timeline or a canon recurrence. Keep these Echoes simple, but meaningful, and keep in mind that returned effects/objects caused by canon recurrences must be directly related to the event giving them back. If re-apping, please include all of their previously-obtained Echoes.
Preincarnation Personality: What sort of person were they in their past life? Headcanon should be clearly marked in italics. This section is important, as it helps us gauge your grasp on the character, so spare no expense here.
Any Differences: You are encouraged to deviate from the original personality in three or four major ways, made to make their personality logical to the setting and their new history (which, by default, varies from their original life). If the personality does not differentiate significantly, or if the differences do not make sense given the rest of your app, revisions may be asked for.
Abilities: What abilities did your character's preincarnation have? To what extent were they used? Include any equipment they had access to and any skills they had. Headcanon should be indicated in italics, as before. You may write a brief synopsis and link to a more detailed resource if you wish. Favor conciseness here, and try to limit (or else otherwise elaborate upon) canon terminology to avoid confusion.
Roleplay Sample - Third Person: Some form of extended, third-person prose exhibiting strong voice and key behaviors of your character. If the voice is weak or the characterization appears to be off, revisions may be asked for.
Roleplay Sample - Network: Same as above, but in network-style format, using text, video, audio, etc. This MUST be on the network.
*Note: One of the samples (of your choice) must be done from the perspective of the reincarnated character, set within the game. Samples from the test drive community may be used for this purpose.
Any Questions? If you need to clear up any lingering questions or concerns, here's the place to do it.
Combo Applications Explained.
We allow applications for multiple characters that are deeply linked and will only count as one towards the player's character limit and activity, although to prevent disappointment, any combo apps must be requested beforehand. This is for characters that are deeply intertwined to the point that if they are ever apart, it's a moment worth noting, including characters that are physically incapable of being apart and ones that are so often together that being apart would affect their personality drastically. There is no upper limit to the number of characters that can be in a combo app, aside from as common sense dictates. Combo apps are opt in, so characters suitable for a combo app could also be played individually. Combo apps can be retroactively applied in these cases at request.
To request a combo app, please fill out this form.
OOC Information:
Name: Whatever handle you go by.
Are you over 15? If not, sorry but stop here.
Contact: Should we feel the need to contact you privately, what is your preferred method?
Current characters in the game: Include preincarnation's name and canon, or none if applicable - please do NOT delete this section entirely!
IC Information:
Names:
Canon and Medium:
Why should they be combined? What makes them suitable for a combo app? Be as detailed as you feel is necessary.
Once approved, you may fill out a single application with all the approved characters.
Note: Applications are dealt with as they are received, by a majority vote process among the mods. While we try to get to each app in a timely process, ultimately speed may depend on busyness and the need to discuss some apps before a decision is made. Regardless, if your app has not been seen to within a week of its submission, or if it's been three days since you answered a request for revisions, please feel free to drop us another line here or by some means of mod contact here!
Characters being re-apped: While you may use the same application as before, if you intend to have them be the same reincarnated character, please make sure that the application has not changed, and to include new information covering what happened to them in-game and what they have been up to since losing contact; if they are keeping their Echoes, please include them under the regular 'first echo' heading. Also note: characters who dropped or idled while having a strike can not be be reentered until their first strike has expired (four months past the activity check they failed). For example, a character who took a strike in the September AC must wait until February to be reapplied.
no subject
First Echo: Tsukasa’s first echo was caused by the fact that he witnessed Wise Snake, which returned his DecaDriver and Decade KamenRide card to him. This allows him to transform into the Armored 'Kamen Rider Decade' form. This form enhances his physical abilities (listed in the link), and provides him the RideBooker, which doubles as a card holder and a transformable gun/sword (This is part of the transformation, and cannot be used outside of it). If the RideBooker is too much, it can be nixed.
Preincarnation Personality:
Tsukasa Kadoya is odd, for a Kamen Rider. Where most of them are anti-social, in some way, shape, or form, Tsukasa seems to take it to the extreme. He is arrogant, willful, and hypocritical, often calling people out for things that he himself has done. A prime example of this is in the World of Blade, where he called Kendame Kazuma out on his obsession with the rankings in B.O.A.R.D, when he kept complaining about his own ranking in the company. He seems to care little for his mission, and even less for the people that he comes in contact with on the worlds that he travels to, wanting nothing but to get finished with his mission and move on, moving one step closer to his own world. A lot of this comes from the fact that, before he lost his memories, he was the ruthless leader of a trans-dimensional organization known as Dai-Shocker, and he had the intention of traveling the world to destroy the only things that could stop them, the Kamen Riders.
Despite his aloof nature, Tsukasa has a driving need to be accepted. He has a need for people to acknowledge his abilities, as well as a need for people to trust him. He wants to find a place to belong, and a group of people that will accept him as he is. While he attempts to put on an air of negativity, once you get past that part of him, you'll find that he is both a strong ally, and a determined friend. He will sacrifice everything that he has for an ally, even going so far as giving his own life so that they can survive. He would do it with a smirk and a sarcastic remark, but he would do it willingly and without a second thought. There are a couple of examples of this in the series, but one of the most important ones involves the World of Black RX, where Tsukasa risked his life, not only to stop the villain Apollo Geist after he stole Natsumi’s life force, but also sacrificed part of his own life just so that she would come back, though he made everyone promise not to tell her.
Tsukasa is very aggressive. He usually attempts to make the first attack, and isn't the type to hold back when he's fighting. He's the type of warrior who feels that the best type of fight is one that's finished with one strike. He doesn't fight fair, and will be more than willing to take a cheap shot and mock his enemy if it would give him an edge in battle. His role is to be the destroyer of worlds, so that the multiverse can be saved, and the world that he started on would be restored to normal. It should be noted that he does still have some level of honor in battle, though, as he won't go out of his way to cripple someone who's injured, nor does he like killing a regular human. A prime example of his aggressiveness, and his willingness to ‘cheat’ in battle can be seen in the Finale movie, right at the beginning. As Violent Emotion form, he not only tricked a group of Riders into a small area, and utilized the ability ‘Clock Up’ to destroy a number of them before they even had a chance to fight back.
Tsukasa's role as the Destroyer is counteracted by role as the connector. He's not a fan of the role of Kamen Rider Decade, because all of the riders that he is supposed to destroy are also people that he has formed a connection with. He, to some extent, hates himself as much as he hates his mission, as he really doesn't want to be a bad guy anymore; he wants to be the leading man of a story. In his mind, he is the only person who is capable of keeping the memories of the previous Riders alive. It is his desire to keep everyone alive that is his greatest redeeming quality, as well as the lengths that he will go to do so, even sacrificing his very soul to do so. He does this for people whom he has formed a bond with. He does this for people who are his family. They may be from different worlds, and different times, but the bond of the Kamen Rider is something powerful, and through it, they are family. The Finale Movie shows all that Tsukasa was willing to give up, all of the hate that he was willing to take on to himself, just so that he could make sure that the Riders would never be forgotten. He gave up everything, even his own life, in order to make sure that they would all be remembered.
Tsukasa is also an extremely adaptable man, partially due to his lack of a home world to call his own, and partially due to the fact that he just seems to fit in to most situations. He can move in and out of a situation, acting almost as a social liquid, so that he can just fill the area that’s needed to be filled. This is shown quite a bit by his integrations into the worlds, as well as just how he interacts. In the Shinkenger crossover, even in a situation where he wasn’t a ‘main character’ in a story, he was able to properly work his way through the world and find out what was needed. In the world of Black RX and Black, he was able to take the role of Joe the Haze, and help make a man remember why he wanted to fight. By being able to take on these roles, and by just being able to adapt to the things that his travels throw at him, Tsukasa is able to further his mission, and learn more about the people he’s supposed to eventually connect with.
