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.

Dr. Ariston Nikas | White Trash Zombie | Reserved

[zombology]

Your Name: Evie
Contact Method: 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.

Tatra | Magic Knight Rayearth

[tatra]

Your Name: Alex
Contact Method: flamingchemist Spoiler Alert#8665 @ discord
Are you over 18? yes
Other characters: NA

Character's Name: Tatra

Character's Canon: Magic Knight Rayearth

Profile for your character:
Tatra is the calm and friendly to her sister’s agitated and thorny. She faces all things with a smile and most things with a nice warm cup of tea. The two princesses of Chizeta have a remarkable sense of duty to their homeland, and set off on a mission that may well be impossible just to expand their tiny country and give their citizens much needed space to live.

Tatra’s frank declarations of truth are always accompanied with a spoonful of sugar. Her sweet smile and relaxed posture give the impression of perfect calm; nothing could phase her. She reminds her sister that although the truth may not be what she wants it to be, there is always a positive spin you can put on it. Tatra’s world does not revolve around being correct: it revolves around happiness, and around her sister.

The two princesses are nearly inseperable. They make a perfect pair to rule a country: One calm and optimistic, the other intense and forceful. Although Tarta could easily take control by sheer force of personality, Tatra eases her back to calm through her own antics and the façade of innocent naïvety. The two tease each other back and forth, Tarta with anger and Tatra with big, watery eyes.

Although she does not appear to be the more mature at first glance, Tatra has a grace belying her royalty that Tarta cannot copy. Tatra is a stable rock for Tarta to cling to in times of trouble. When trouble comes, Tatra is inevitably ready to handle it with a dark seriousness completely the opposite of her usual carefree attitude. Even though she has the power to take control, Tatra supports all of her sister’s decisions while doing her best to act as a guide.

She may act ditzy and airheaded, but Tatra is definitely the more thoughtful of the Chizeta princesses. When challenged by danger, Tatra’s determination and anger are a force to be reckoned with. She uses her strength to protect herself, her sister, and her country.

Writing Sample: These were good times and nicely display my inability to remember what tense I'm writing in.

Why do you believe your character is an appropriate fit for this game? I think Tatra will be a lovely addition to the pantheon, and a general delight for the natives and PCs alike to have around. She's used to royal treatment but aware enough not to put a strain on resources. She is also really good at creating an atmosphere of calm, which will probably be helpful for PCs too.

What would you like to do with your character in this game?
Step 1: be Goddess of Hearth and Home
Step 2: have tea
Step 3: ?
Step 4: profit

Chase Collins | The Covenant | Reserved

[bastardofipswich]

Your Name: Ros
Contact Method: weeyotch or weeyotch#8200 on discord
Are you over 18? Yup
Other characters: Nope

Character's Name: Chase Collins

Character's Canon: The Covenant

Profile for your character: EYYYYY (and more info and supplemental stuff)

Writing Sample: Here you go

Why do you believe your character is an appropriate fit for this game? Because he's a power-hungry maniac, and that's just what you need in a deity. I mean, really, that's all there is to it with Chase and this premise. He's somebody who'll enthusiastically play musical thrones and get REALLY INTO IT, which might also push others-- those more reluctant to get involved-- into taking on godly positions just so that there are Responsible Adults in the pantheon to keep him in check.

What would you like to do with your character in this game? Go for the most METAL AND BADASS of thrones. Most games I put him in, Chase has to learn how to move beyond his addiction to power and magic. It'll be interesting to see how he does in a setting that might feed into his worst impulses.

Do you understand the rules? Yeah

Character's Name: Valdis

Character's Canon: OC

Profile for your character: Application for Tushan. As an OC, there is a lot of relevant info that might be useful.

Writing Sample: Log from current game

Why do you believe your character is an appropriate fit for this game? Valdis would have a lot of fun in this world, especially with her personality being drawn toward causing mischief and chaos between others. Not only would she be a great ally for PCs, but she’s also not afraid to do her own thing, even if it is in conflict with previous promises. She’s not necessarily interested in power, but having power makes things more entertaining.

What would you like to do with your character in this game? Have her become the goddess of Mischief and then cause as much of it as she can.

Ryan the Vagabond Guy | Achievement Hunter: Let's Play GTA V | Not Reserved

[murderbreak]

Your Name: Alex, but a more different one. Do I have to fight the other one for naming rights?
Contact Method: Chatvert / Temujin#0712
Are you over 18? Aye
Other characters: Not yet

Character's Name: Ryan the Vagabond Guy

Character's Canon: Achievement Hunter: Let's Play GTA V

Profile for your character: Ryan's...Ryan's an interesting fellow, to be sure. He's a member of a gang called the Fake AH Crew, the most feared gang in Los Santos. He's their attack dog, known only to the police and the public as the Vagabond, hiding his identity behind a black skull mask and a voice changer when he's on the job. And he's vicious. He kills for fun and just because he can, and he's ruthless.

And if he gets knocked down? He gets back up again.

Everyone in the Crew is immortal - they can die, but they'll come right back if they do, as long as whatever injury killed them isn't obstructed (e.g. if someone stabs him and leaves the knife in, he can't heal around that, but if he gets his throat torn out, that'll regenerate in a matter of minutes. And he won't be happy with that). This makes them take stupid risks and follow the code of "live fast, die young", because the last part doesn't apply too much. They do what they want, dangerous street races, knocking each other around with cars dangling from military helicopters, daring bank heists...because they know they can come back.

Ryan can be charming with his mask off - except for the skull face paint beneath it, to protect his identity. Because his day job...is a male model. Not even his crewmates know that, because none of them have seen him without his face paint on. But nobody really knows where he goes, and nobody asks, because everyone's still a little frightened of him, even when he's on their side. He's not above shooting one of his crewmates to prove a point. Or for fun.

But he's quite level-headed when he's on a murder break, and personable. He'll make friends with you, and if he likes you, he might not kill you. Not right away, anyway. But even when he's being charming, he's still a little...off. The boy ain't right.

Writing Sample: tagging as wrathfulkhan

Why do you believe your character is an appropriate fit for this game? Well, he's an immortal murderer who hides his fits of murder beneath a charming facade. What better man to contend for the throne of death?

What would you like to do with your character in this game? Steal the Death throne. Repeatedly. For fun.

Do you understand the rules? Yes!

Character's Name: Jefferson

Character's Canon: Once Upon a Time

Profile for your character: PROFILE and an APP
Writing Sample: i just thought you'd enjoy some sex unicorns (and here's a longer example of a thread I GUESS)

Why do you believe your character is an appropriate fit for this game? Because even though he's not the most social of butterflies, Jefferson's a character who tends to adapt very well to strange settings and situations, and he's driven to get his daughter back at all costs, which means: desperate man + grey morality + musical thrones = a wealth of potential plotting.

What would you like to do with your character in this game? Either scheme or sit in a dark room and cry forever. Most likely scheme. HE JUST WANTS HIS DAUGHTER BACK.

Are you over 18? By many years :c
Other characters: N/A

Character's Name: Cissie King-Jones

Character's Canon: DC Comics (pre-reboot)

Profile for your character: ...I apologize for linking this infopost, because I know you don't want to spend all of your time reading all of that. :c But that's mostly character history, soooo I also have another post that's... personality, instead. I'm great at being brief.

Writing Sample: Here's a link to an open log at my (hopefully soon to be "other"!) current game. c:

Why do you believe your character is an appropriate fit for this game? Cissie is friendly and outgoing, and she has a drive to help people, especially once she gets to know them and starts making friends. She's super loyal and protective, and her relationships are really her driving force. Once she realizes she doesn't have to hide her past, she'll make friends easily, and then she'll really want to get involved do what she can to help. Which may well include claiming a throne, but I'm mostly interested in seeing what develops through her CR!

What would you like to do with your character in this game? I'd like to see Cissie make some friends, maybe make a few enemies, get involved in things... basically, I have nothing in particular in mind, but I'm super interested in seeing where it all goes!

Do you understand the rules? In the language of my people: AYUH.

Well, I GUESS.

Other characters: n/a

Character's Name: Dominique DiPierro

Character's Canon: Mr. Robot

Profile for your character: Dom is one of nature's own detectives—stubborn, persistent, patient, and unafraid to stand up to her superiors. She is intensely loyal and will stick her neck out for you if she believes in you. At one point, she says that she's "disgusted by the selfish brutality of the world, but at the same time, I'm utterly fascinated by it". She jokes that the FBI is the perfect place for someone with those kinds of contradictory impulses, and there's really probably some truth to that joke. When she plays good cop, it's not really an act. She is also a complete awkward turtle personally, with (by her own admission) no personal life outside of work apart from the odd anonymous sex chat and conversations with her Amazon Echo. She's bad at intimacy but also dreadfully lonely.

After the events of Mr. Robot S3, she is now also completely distraught, her life having basically been completely wrecked.

Writing Sample: Test drive.

Why do you believe your character is an appropriate fit for this game? She arrives with a ton of hideous baggage and a strong sense of ethics and morality that has just suffered a terrible beating. So of course she needs to be thrown into a completely alien setting where—surprise!—she's now the God of Justice.

What would you like to do with your character in this game? Reluctant but effective God of Justice who is also incidentally dealing with a lot of Deeply Fucked Up Shit from the things that happened to her before she showed up here.

Do you understand the rules? Yes.

Are you over 18? yup
Other characters: Nope

Character's Name: Liir Thropp/Ko

Character's Canon: The Wicked Years books by Gregory Maguire

Profile for your character: Plenty about him here.

Writing Sample: beep boop

Why do you believe your character is an appropriate fit for this game? Both because of his intense connection with the concept of memory/time and because he is someone who actually concerns himself with the politics and realities and the ethics of power. The idea of being a god, the importance of it, is something that he would wrestle with, especially given that being a god of something in a place would add something to the world, but his own concerns about whether he should have power would make for an interesting dichotomy. He's the sort of person who acts when he feels that he should but he feels that inaction is important too, and I think that makes for an interesting sort of thought process both for someone who's going to be a deity and in a politics-driven game.

What would you like to do with your character in this game? God of time, work on his writing, trying to learn the ways of this world and how it works, make... friends? He's really bad at socialization but maybe this sort of place'll go better.

Do you understand the rules? Yes indeed.

Amazon Echo is not for sex chats.

Eirika | Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

[renaiscence]

Your Name: Mei.
Contact Method: medjed#1157
Are you over 18? Yes.
Other characters: New player.

Character's Name: Eirika.

Character's Canon: Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.

Profile for your character: A princess forced out of her home suddenly due to the threat of war, Eirika spends most of her time traveling alongside an esteemed knight of her kingdom (Seth) in search of her twin brother. With her homeland invaded and the death of her father who was the king, she is forced into a leadership position all while the weight of a potential crown rests on her head. While other members of royalty in the surrounding lands offer to keep her safe, she insists on traveling herself as to not burden them (or to paint a target on their back) because it's important to her that she reunites with her brother, Ephraim.

Notoriously kind, her sweet demeanor often is underestimated by those around her and while she is taken advantage at times due to her naivete, Eirika is, for the most part, a girl with a good head on her shoulders. Traveling throughout the continent of Magvel, she meets many people from different backgrounds and gains a better understanding of the kingdoms that neighbor her own. It's a journey that both enlightens and teaches her as she learns to balance benevolence with duty. When it comes to slaying the demonic threat that has taken over her friend and doing what's right, she goes right for the kill. Even though she opposes violence, she's not above fighting if it's what needs to be done, though if given the opportunity to forgive someone rather than fight them, she would most definitely sway towards an apology. It's her brother who enjoys the thrill of the fight, and since she is often having to pick up after him due to that behavior, it's understandable why she's not pleased with battle in general.

She's not a tactical genius nor is she well versed in combat, though it seems she can hold her own quite well. Having been taught how to wield a rapier a few years prior to the start of the war by her brother, she prefers combat to be swift and up close. She's familiar in both riding a horse and fighting atop one, as well as camping out in the wilderness and tending to one's wounds.

Writing Sample: link to a meme thread I mostly wrote while out of the country on vacation.

Why do you believe your character is an appropriate fit for this game? Even though she has spent most of her journey balancing the mental weights of a tactical leader and princess, she hasn't been able to spend much time in a position where her word is law. Throughout her travels in Magvel, she is undermined by her far more experienced troops (such as her knight Seth, who is well versed in both politics and combat) and protected by a number of men. To be placed in an environment where she doesn't have these safe guards and has to make decisions that could have an affect on others would be interesting to see. Having to defend her role possibly (if she gets assigned to one) would be an interesting take as well: as a princess, she has likely always had her royalty given to her. Having to fight to maintain it or to accept that the newcomer might be better at it could be an interesting thing to play through. Will she forgive or be caught up in the pride that royalty often surrounds themselves with?

What would you like to do with your character in this game? Have her grow in a way that we don't get to see in canon. Since her brother assumes the throne when they return, she just remains a helpful princess who aids in the restoration of Magvel in whole. Basically she gets kind of shoved into the typical end game role and I'd like to see her expand beyond that. This game can test her in ways she wasn't tested in canon and open up opportunities for relationships that were denied in her game.

Do you understand the rules? Yes, they're fairly reasonable. I don't see why anyone would have issue with them. I found this place via a replurk btw!

Orion Luis | OC

Contact Method: PM or Transmutedself
Are you over 18? Well over
Other characters: Nope

Character's Name: Orion Luis

Character's Canon: OC

Profile for your character: Personality | History | Abilities

Writing Sample: Action Sample

Why do you believe your character is an appropriate fit for this game? Orion is a priest in his original world, called upon to help the ancient gods develop a following of believers in order to return to their full strength. He's also been in a situation of being pulled into another world where the gods there had disappeared and things stopped working as they should have (Time also stopped in that world, for instance). This is the exact sort of thing he was born for.

What would you like to do with your character in this game? Nothing definite yet, but I'd be interested in him becoming a priest of a god/dess and caring for/protecting their Temple. Orion can be very noncommittal without a cause, so I'd like to explore him finding one and devoting himself to it - whatever that cause may wind up being. I'm also open to storyline in which he finds himself torn between perceived obligations (such as friends with opposing interests), although I'd prefer to explore the opposite angle with him and think this game would be a good fit for that.

Do you understand the rules? Yes
