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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Sorry, no snazzy one liners here.

Thank you for your interest in

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

We'd like to see an expansion on your character's world information. At this time, it only seems to cover what the character knows, which doesn't give us a good grasp of what's going on in the world - particularly the actions of all the different factions and other key characters such as Ryoko and Zekarion. Also, we'd like an expansion on the period in Shinju's history when he is blind.

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

I hope it's alright if I leave them here! Let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to expand upon.

Expanded World Information: Ten years prior to the fire that destroyed Shinju's home, two mystics, Zekarion and his adoptive older brother Glen, were sent to the human world to search for the daughter of their king. Thanks to their research, Zekarion's persuasive abilities, and Glen's illusory abilities, they were able to take positions in the largest conglomerate in human society--one which had nearly as much information as the government. Under this guise, they would search, although it was more difficult due to the lack of details they had to go on. Eventually, they climbed in the ranks, and Zekarion used his abilities to influence the head of the company for his own means. Having come to hate humans, he began to have the CEO enact harsh policies for their employees and do deals in secret to destroy homes, murder notable people, and generally whatever he could think of to cause misery without being caught.

The girl who called herself Ryoko, having run away from home after discovering her dragon heritage, found herself in one of many off-the-grid mystic villages, and the outside perspective let her see clearly the damage that had been done by ECLIPSE. She and several of the mystics she met agreed to form an group, using their unique abilities to stop them from committing any more crimes and attempt to reveal them to the public at large. Eventually, they gathered many more members, mystic and human, and became what is known as SOR. Thanks to their talented members and quiet funding from a select few, they were able to start gathering information and stop some of Zekarion's planned atrocities. However, the man was able to discover the origin of some of the funding--a couple who happened to be Shinju's parents--and burned their home to the ground to deal a blow to SOR.

The occasional infiltrations of the different ECLIPSE buildings by SOR brought them to hire and train more guards, Shinju among them. The attempts of each organization to bring down the other continued, bringing along with them a few casualties, all of which were blamed on SOR.

Ryoko, seeing that her crush from school had been taken under the organization she was fighting, attempted to meet with him and take him to relative safety, only to have him attack her, and her dragon instincts caused her to injure and blind him--an action which she quickly came to regret and fret over. Not long after, Zekarion discovered that his new pawn, Shinju, was extremely useful--as the girl who appeared to be "in charge" of SOR hesitated to harm him, while his efforts had convinced Shinju that Ryoko was responsible for his loss. The girl tried to search for a way to undo the damage she had done, and thanks to the other mystics, came to discover that her blood would help him see again.

After delivering the cure, Ryoko was glad to take him back to SOR, although many of the members there viewed him with displeasure, as he had been responsible for many of their injuries. Even so, many of them who interacted with Shinju came to trust him, as he had come to trust them. Meanwhile, Zekarion, angry that one of his key pieces had left of his own accord, eventually came up with a plan to trick him, and sent him a message with one of his spies' help. Although he claimed he had taken Ryoko hostage, he was merely using a decoy, and instead took Shinju himself as a hostage under the curse. Using him, Zekarion attempted to persuade Ryoko to give up, and she found that she was unable to dedicate herself to the cause she had championed if it meant hurting someone she cared about.

However, with Shinju's apparent death and disappearance, the tables might have turned...

Extended Character History: When he recovered, he dedicated himself to his job, intent on killing Ryoko once and for all. Finding himself under a harsh veteran trainer, he pushed himself to the limit despite his new handicap, and became a force to be reckoned with. His training, work, and continued studies under a private tutor took up much of his time, and in the little free time he found, he had little desire to make friends. Due to his ruthlessness and apparent refusal to speak with his coworkers, he was called "Hellfire" and avoided by most. However, he found himself still unable to deal with the day-to-day difficulties of not being able to see, and came to depend on his trainer's daughter, Isadora, and her close friend, Jonas, for assitance. Although he was cold and rude initially, her caring but assertive demeanor, and his straightforward and earnest personality eventually won Shinju over. Although Shinju's friendly nature was dimmed by his desire for revenge and his losses, he was pleasant to them and truly came to appreciate them.

Despite his vicious reputation, a young man called Willingham idolized him for how "cool and tough" he was. His behavior, following Shinju around and asking how he might help or for Shinju to train him, initially irritated him, and while he continued to be somewhat short with Willingham, accepted him as part of his small "group." Unfortunately, on one of his worse days, Shinju ended up having an argument with him and insulted him, leaving the boy feeling awful; and although he regretted his words fairly quickly, there was no time to apologize. An attack on the building sent Shinju out to fight, and Willingham, attempting to help and prove himself, stepped forward to attack an enemy. Unfortunately, Shinju (who usually fought alone) thought his footsteps were those of an enemy, and attacked him, leaving the boy with a near-fatal injury. Shinju did not meet him again after that, as he was no longer able to work as a guard. His guilt only caused him to focus more on his training and studies, and his day-to-day life started to feel mechanical; even to his few friends he became distant, afraid he might hurt them.
