Application

[magicademymods]

Application Applications are OPEN Applications will remain open at all times, until and unless volume makes a monthly cycle preferable. Reserves are not required to apply a character, but do give the player priority for that character. In the absence of reserves, applications are first-come first-served; we will not accept an application for a character who has already been applied by another person. Applications should be posted on this page, with subject lines in the format of CHARACTER NAME | CANON | RESERVED/NOT RESERVED You may link to your application or post it here. If you link to it, leave it visible while you are in the game. You may apply two characters per application cycle. For the first week of applications only, characters who were in Diatu at the time of its previous closing may return by simple request. No reapplication is necessary. Player Name: Your name. Contact: Whichever contact means you would like to provide. 18+? Other Character: Character Name: Your character's full name. (If they do not use Western order, please use that order here and supply how it will commonly be written.) Canon: Your character's canon (or OC). Canon point: What canon point your character is taken from Age: Your character's age. (If helpful, you can separate out mental, physical, and chronological age -- for example, a long-lived species that only reaches human-teenage levels of development after a century.) Canon history: OC/malleable protagonist-only. For OCs, provide a brief background detail of your character's canon, sufficient to understand the context of your character and relevant setting terms. For malleable protagonists, list their important choices here (for easy reference of castmates). History: A summary of, or link to, your character's history in canon. CRAU History: For CRAUs only: give a brief history of important events and relationships in their previous setting. Personality: 4-6 bullet points focusing on the character's trait and its nuances Examples: Absentminded: Headmaster Birony seems absent-minded to the point of being barely aware of her current location or actions. She’s been seen casting spells to find her hat when it’s on her head, has repeatedly attempted to move the ghosts of Makerion Keep into different buildings to ‘even out the hauntings’, and once accidentally transformed the Library of Starchime into a cheese wheel. Snide rumors circulate that her Thinking Spells are actually her own brain turned into magical energy, except former classmates of hers confirm a little grimly that no, she’s always been this way. Diplomatic: Despite her everything, Headmaster Birony is a skilled diplomat who somehow manages to get everyone on a room onto the same page. Oftentimes this is a result of some incredibly nonlinear thinking or radical proposal, such as when she proposed Diatu Magicademy host the Sundered and teach them. As Court Wizard of Orian-Daven she dominated discussions seemingly by accident, proposing on more than one occasion to resolve a problem or dispute through magic no one else had even imagined. CRAU Personality: CRAUs only: give as many bullet points as necessary to describe traits of the character that have changed as a result of previous RP and development. Here, we want to see what makes this CRAU different from a canon-fresh character. Always Keep In Mind: What are the most important things to keep in mind when writing this character? Samples Log Sample: Provide one sample (5+ substantive comments) of you playing this character. It can be in brackets or prose, but should not be a network or similar thread. Questions: Write an IC answer to the following questions: What do you want to study at Diatu Magicademy? If you knew you could go back to the moment you left, would you leave immediately or continue your studies for a while? If your enemy was at Diatu Magicademy, how would you react? When is it acceptable to resolve a dispute by force? What should the supreme goal of any wizard be? Special Considerations Your Special Something: Choose between A Rare Familiar or An Item of Power. (See the Game Guide and FAQ for details.) Rank Your House Choice: Select your first, second, and third preferences for House placement, or choose Random Items: Please provide a brief description of items belonging to your character that could appear during the course of weird events or the like. Anything Else: Any questions or considerations as we review your application? <i><span style="color: #0c2651; font-size: 1.5rem; font-family: Garamond;">Player</span></i> <b>Name:</b> Your name. <b>Contact:</b> Whichever contact means you would like to provide. <b>18+?</b> <b>Other Character:</b> <i><span style="color: #0c2651; font-size: 1.5rem; font-family: Garamond;">Character</span></i> <b>Name:</b> Your character's full name.

Psst. Your History section appears to have wandered off, perhaps to the moon during the formative years of your application's childhood.

Fixed! Sorry mods, something got lost in the editing process.

ACCEPTED

[magicademymods]

Congratulations on your acceptance to Diatu Magicademy, aspiring wizard! Founded in ancient times by the great Anastara Diatu, this institution... [17 unnecessary pages later] ...every student must undertake the following steps upon acceptance to the Magicademy: 1. Request to join bulletinboardspell, diatu, and diatuooc. 2. Respond to the taken characters pages. 3. Follow magicademymods (if you so desire). 4. Introduce yourself to your fellows. 5. If you so desire, apply for a student teaching position. According to our records: Your House is: Aer et Calculum Your room is: The Fountain. You're a duck, right? Hold on, someone's yelling something. What? A room anyway? That's silly, but -- oh, look what you made me write! Your room is: Living Quarters, Room 002 Your Item of Power is: Discovery Weapon Model IX (Aerosol and Gas) This weapon appears to a firearm, except with an unusually large snub barrel. When wielded by a daring duck of mystery, this Forged item fires flasks filled with gas or an aerosolized liquid, thus aiding them in becoming champion of right. The wielder must concentrate on the substance they wish to fire, so caution is advising when swooping out of the shadows, or you might find it difficult to rule the night. The Discovered substances may have multiple effects, such as a smoke bomb, a knockout gas, tear gas, or others as the creative mind might see fit, though it will be extremely difficult to master complicated substances. However, with practice and luck, you may be assured that while somewhere some villain schemes, their number is up, because when in trouble you can call on DW (Model IX). I hope you have the most wonderful of times here. ____________________________________ Camillah Birony Headmaster
