Application

[deifier]

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.

Are you over 18? Yep!

Character's Name: Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of The Magnus Institute

Character's Canon: The Magnus Archives, a podcast about how nothing will ever be okay again

Profile for your character: Jonny Sims is one of those "married to his job" types, if you consider marriage to be the same as your destiny probably being toyed with and directed by supernatural forces. Which, let's be honest, it might be. He is an archivist. He spends a lot of his time reading and organising a mess of an archive that deals in supernatural occurrences, given to the Institute in the form of statements from whoever experienced them. He is a somewhat prickly individual that is very dedicated to sorting out more or less anything that lands in his lap, so long as he thinks he can reasonably sort it. For example, the untimely death of his predecessor, the circumstances leading to a terrifying lady and her army of worms attacking the institute and leaving him full of holes — you get me. You poke your nose into supernatural shit, supernatural shit starts to poke you right back.

Writing Sample: here is my Inquisitor from Dragon Age, I am an intense rambler by nature and not sorry about it.

Why do you believe your character is an appropriate fit for this game? Well, in many ways he isn't? Jon isn't what you would call a "people person". The first in-person statement we hear in the podcast results in the statement giver formally complaining about Jon's conduct, he routinely gets on the nerves of his archival assistants, has shouting matches with former ghost hunting youtubers... he appreciates some of his coworkers? That's kind of it. Of course, it isn't, but from the outset and to enough people that he meets, he's more than fine for that to be what others think. However, Jon has a little heart lurking around there in his chest, and he's a determined person that cares about greater goods and what have you! He's just not going to make loads of friends along the way. He'll apply himself, if nothing else.

For why I wanted to play him — Jon is your regular rough edged porcupine of a human, and then some. To begin with, much of the podcast revolves around Jon digitising paper statements via tape recorder (because statements that contain real supernatural occurrences fry things like laptops AHEM), giving his thoughts on them afterwards. He presents himself as a hard sceptic, he believes nothing and no one, but that's more or less just denial talking. You can hear in his voice whenever he reads statements that he is dedicated, he is so invested in taking the time to absorb these statements and feel everything that was put into them when they were written. Jon doesn't have a secret heart of gold, he's just a really good person with little patience for other people! And he can be pleasant. He just has to more or less be aware of the fact that he likes you enough to be pleasant.

What would you like to do with your character in this game? Aggravate the shit out of everyone. No, he probably won't be TOO nightmareish, there is definitely scope for Jon to think "look we really need someone to sort out x, y or z and shit if no one else is doing it I WILL", so potentially! If there is anything really major that needs a god, Jon would be willing to ... basically take the position until someone more suitable turns up?

Do you understand the rules? I certainly do!!

Yes but what about the Inquisitor?!
