Application


Applications are Open.


The application process is pretty simple. This is intended to cut down on the time the moderator spends reviewing applications, as well as to simplify entry into the game. While applications are considered a process by which mods can determine if someone is truly invested in play, Dusk of the Gods has an overall format which requires regular activity, and has several measures in place to prevent the dreaded "character squatter".

Please fill out the provided form and submit it as a comment in the responses. As the application form is very straightforward and should require no revisions, applications will either be Accepted or Rejected.

If your application is rejected, please wait one month before applying again (as you would for a game with a normal application cycle) unless you are given other directions.

The application is really easy. You literally just have to follow instructions.

Applications are reviewed within 24-48 hours of submission. If 48 hours have passed and your application has not been reviewed, please reply to your application with a note reminding the mod to get on it.

Dr. Ariston Nikas | White Trash Zombie | Reserved

Your Name: Evie
Contact Method: [plurk.com profile] tackydragons or Evieshka#8193 on Discord.
Are you over 18? Yes.
Other characters: No.

Character's Name: Ariston Nikas.

Character's Canon: White Trash Zombie series. Here is a link to the author's page.

Profile for your character: Nikas is a 2,000-something year old zombie who originated in Greece. He serves as the resident researcher, inventor, and doctor for a zombie mafia (called "The Tribe") in Louisiana, and has ties to the main character of the series (Angel Crawford) as her mentor and friend. Nikas is what the series refers to as a "mature" zombie, meaning that his human anatomy can't be distinguished from the parasite that makes him a zombie; he heals fast, can go longer without eating brains, can create other zombies without the process being really disgusting, and can mind-control zombies he creates by jumping on them and biting their necks. Weird, right?

Eating more brains than he needs to survive is called "tanking", and gives him something akin to superpowers: he's exceptionally fast, very strong, and nigh impossible to kill. When the effects of the brains wear off, however, he becomes lethargic and exhausted.

Due to a mob situation that occurred in Greece several hundred years ago, Nikas is severely agoraphobic; he can go out and about, but it takes a lot out of him emotionally and mentally.

Also, he's just a really nice guy.

Writing Sample: Nikas on the TDM

Why do you believe your character is an appropriate fit for this game? I think that Nikas, with his medical background, would be beneficial to non-native characters in the game. A doctor who doesn't flinch at most any strange malady would be exceptionally useful. He's also a friendly, intelligent man who would be good for helping drive the character development of others (which is one of his purposes in the series from which he's taken.)

What would you like to do with your character in this game? I will have a better response to this once I see who else is in the game.

Do you understand the rules? Hope so. I wrote 'em.
