Application
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.
Gabriel Boutin | Half Bad Trilogy | Not Reserved
Contact Method: discord: lynn#5096
Are you over 18? still old
Other characters: Eliot Waugh
Character's Name: Gabriel Boutin
Character's Canon: Sally Green's Half Bad trilogy, a book series with a lot of great stuff going for it, and a whole lot of fucking problems.
Profile for your character: Since this is a thing other characters are always going on about, I feel it incumbent upon me to inform you Gabriel has beautiful hair.
......
ASIDE FROM THAT: Gabriel's canon separates witches (who have their own community distinct to non magical humans) into Black and White, which is. Uh. Someone should have thought of a different name, because wow them's some connotations. The distinction is not actually Evil/Good, it's more that white witches integrate with humans and generally ascribe to blending in, whereas black witches tend toward strong individualism and independence. As a result white witches tend to have gifts that are less obviously otherworldly (healing and such), while black witches get shit like shapeshifting and throwing lightning.
That's grossly oversimplifying things, but it's what I'd tell you over beers, so hey!
Gabriel is only super-invested in being a black witch so much as he is invested in being a witch (he accidentally spent time as a regular human and it was terrible), but he still has the typical distrust of white witches. Generally his instincts are right; he's very good at reading people, an ability which has served him upsettingly well in the current really upsetting war in which his world is embroiled. As a person he tries to be as kind as he can; while he doesn't hew super strongly to the concepts of good and evil, he clearly has a moral center that will only bend so much. He's generally a sunny person who smiles a lot and aims to lighten even dire situations, meaning the the fuse of his temper is about seven hundred miles long. Then he will actually yell, because ...he's a 19 year old boy and they tend not to be perfect specimens of emotional control, but he's also always very quick to forgive.
Fun extra bits: he is an ENORMOUS book nerd, an excellent marksman, and riddled with four hundred and eighty billion types of PTSD. He has a scar in one eyebrow because SOMEONE, not naming any names but they are Nathan Byrn, once tried to stab him in the face. They're in love now and it's great.
Writing Sample: Have Ignis this time.
Why do you believe your character is an appropriate fit for this game? Well, it can't possibly be more inappropriate than his actual canon--no really, in actual seriousness, the game setting - a world whose suffering he can ameliorate without slaughtering swathes of people - would afford Gabriel an opportunity to start recovering from the aforementioned four hundred and eighty billion types of PTSD, while also helping the most important person in his life.
What would you like to do with your character in this game? Most immediately I'd just like him to revel in the wonders of not being constantly cold, hungry, tired, and three feet away from probably having to shoot someone. In the long term it will depend on what connections he might make outside of Nathan; Gabriel's first instinct will be to stay close to him. He's not going to aspire to godhood unless it's absolutely necessary, i.e. the throne of whatever really needs a butt and no one else is stepping up.
Do you understand the rules? Unless something dramatic has changed in the last 48 hours, yes.
okay but what if i didn't let your boyfriend in
