	Applications

Applications are currently CLOSED.

Applications will open on April 1st at 12:01 AM EST.

Character applications must be posted in journals, and linked when submitted on this page. You may apply for a maximum of two characters per application round.

Please include character name, canon, and reserved/unreserved status in the subject line of your comment.

Applications decisions are given in the order applications are received. A request for revisions must be answered within three days from the time of the request for your revisions to be considered. If your application is rejected, you may apply again for the same character next application cycle unless otherwise noted, up to a maximum of three times. If your application for a character is rejected three times, you may not apply for that character again.

To prevent a situation where some characters have been accepted and some characters are left waiting, all app results will go out together after the app round has closed, ideally within 48 hours. If it has been more than 3 days (72 hours) since the closing of the app round, feel free to contact us regarding the status of your application.

You may wish to review the Rules, FAQ, and Taken Characters pages before applying. The Reservations page is located here. Unless otherwise noted, Reserves are open from the 9th to the end of each month, and Applications are open from the 1st to the 8th of each month.

Thanks, mods!

There's a couple of accommodations I'm thinking of. All of these are just for her home and/or own terminal.

-Kitchen stuff! Since Rin would use her feet to cook, she'd position herself to cook by sitting on the counters. It'd probably be a good idea to have the kitchen counters at a lower height, and/or have a stool around, so that she can easily climb onto them to get her stuff or prepare food. Also, have the plates and cups be made of shatterproof plastic to lower the chance of injury. I'm not sure how she'd handle a standard tumbler-shaped glass other than by using a straw, but she should be able to use glasses with handles (like a mug/teacup) or stemware (like a wine or martini glass) just fine.

-Bathroom stuff! Maybe the bathroom counter and shower shelves could be at a lower height as well, while installing a seat in the shower to enable her to get into more positions.

-In canon it's explained that she has trouble dressing herself, and had her dorm-mate help her. I thought this might actually be fun to play around with, since it counts as physical contact and would benefit both her and the person helping her. In the case of emergencies such as hiatuses/drops or that character being unavailable for IC plot reasons, though, a handy-dandy stick like this one might help Rin get by.

Other than that, she should be able to manage pretty fine.

EDIT: Actually, a small stand to put her communications device thingy on so she can record video messages and a stylus to use touchscreen features more easily would also be nice.

Upon assessment of Rin's needs, the NPCs will assign her to Room 2-01 of Building 2 instead. The apartments in this building have lower countertops and are a little more spacious so that, if she prefers, she can ask for a friend or family member to move in with her as a dorm-mate to assist her with her dressing needs.

Shatterproof and microwave-safe dishes will be given in place of the normal dishware and a stool will be provided to assist her around the apartment. The hospital will provide the dressing stick and shower/tub seat free of charge to help Rin feel as comfortable as possible upon first arriving.

She will also be given a stylus to use at the terminals in the lounge/common areas near her apartment and around the city. This will also be compatible with any other communications device she chooses to purchase at a later time.

Sounds great, mods, thanks!
