	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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

It's not much, but it's enough.

Thank you for your interest in

rekindleme! In order to accept your application, we need to see the following revisions:

We would like to see an expanded personality section! We find that it's lacking in the bit more mischievous qualities that begin to show near Eternal Calm, and more beyond her "summoner" persona, how the two years between the end of Final Fantasy X and Eternal Calm have affected her, etc.

Please make your revisions and reply to this comment within three days.

While it's true that this is the primary persona she seems to give out - subdued, patient, caring person who can has a very strong will when the situation calls for it - that's not all. There is a definite mischievous, playful side to her that her closest friends do see on occasion. An excellent example is in Kilika, where after giving the impression of moderating a footrace, she then joins it instead to the surprise of the participants. She's willing to tease people, though she tends to reserve for people who know she means no harm by it - the people who know her best. For example, in Eternal Calm, she teases Wakka for gaining weight, commenting that "he isn't even the one having the baby". This side of her becomes more open as she develops in X-2, through the encouragement of Rikku and the Gullwings to be herself and express herself more, and her teasing and playful side can be seen by more people, friend and foe alike.

From the period between the end of X and Eternal Calm, Yuna has relapsed a little to some extent - she's still not pursuing her own goals and dreams. Part of this though, comes from not having a defined direction. She'd spent most of her more recent life thinking that it would end with the Grand Summoning, and now that she's free of that, she isn't sure where to go. So instead she sticks with something familiar - helping people.

It would also be inaccurate to say that there aren't still very powerful lingering effects from her journey. She still takes the words of those who encourage her to be herself into account. She still quite bluntly refuses to put herself in situations where she might be manipulated or used - even to the point of upsetting the elders of Besaid who encourage her to marry. And when Rikku encourages her to do something for herself, after thinking about how she might disappoint people, the next thing she thinks of is Tidus' words about doing the "adult" thing or doing something for oneself. Even though she doesn't see many of them too often, (or some at all) she still thinks often about her friends and the things they told her.

Eternal Calm shows that traveling - and more importantly experiencing new things - is something she loves, and the desire to do so is mentioned when Rikku offers Yuna the opportunity to hunt down the origins behind the sphere with Shuyin (thought to be Tidus) inside. Overall, the long wait between X and Eternal Calm has left with Yuna with a sense of calm contentment with the way things are now, though there is a silent hope for something more out there, a hope that is answered when Rikku visits with the Sphere of Beginnings. Perhaps the best way to describe Yuna now would be to say she's akin to a plant that's in a pot that's too small for her - it doesn't kill the plant, but it can't really grow until it's put in a bigger pot, or a wider world with new situations and experiences.

And then of course, there's Yuna as we see her in X-2. As mentioned, she's more playful and mischievous, willing to tease more when the situation calls for it. She's also overall much more open with her feelings and desires, and willing to express them, privately or publicly, such as the times where she's willing to actually shout out her frustrations (both times involving being left out of the know somehow). She has less patience particularly for being left unaware of things she's caught up in.

However even in these instances, she's still very much the Yuna we know in X. She still occasionally retreats to formality when on the defensive. And most importantly, she still can't deny he desire to help people when they truly need it.

Congratulations and welcome to
