APPLICATIONS!
Currently: Closed!
Route 29 has closed as of May 30th. For the continuation of the game, please visit victory_road!

Applications will be normally checked during the weekend following the first and third Sunday of each month unless otherwise stated, and we will allow one application per person during one application cycle. Remember, the most characters one player can have at a time is currently set at five.

Applications received after 11:59 PM EST on Saturday of the first and third weekend of each month will be checked the following app weekend unless otherwise stated.

We now ask that potential applicants post their application in comments rather than linking. If their application contains explicit references to 'hard' spoilers (character death, unforeseen plot twists, big reveals, he was evil all along etc), players should put the application in their own journal or their character's journal and link it, making sure to mention the presence of spoilers within. For further clarification on our spoilers policy and whether or not your application needs to be linked, please check this page. Thank you for your cooperation!

The comment character limit on dreamwidth is 16,000 characters so apps no longer need to be split into multiple comments; however this is at players' discretion.

Please use the form below and post your application in comments rather than linking if you can. If you have any questions, feel free to ask either of the mods. You can reach us through emails, IMs, or PMs.

A reminder for those waiting to hear back, please don't be worried if we skip yours while going through them. It only means we needed a little more time to research!

<u><b>Player</u></b> <b>Name:</b> <b>Personal Journal:</b> <user name=""> <b>E-mail:</b> <b>AIM/Plurk/Etc.:</b> <b>Timezone:</b> <b>Current Characters in Route:</b> <b><u>Character</u></b> <b>Name:</b> <b>Series:</b> <b>Timeline:</b> <b>Canon Resource Links:</b> Here we would have the links to wikis and other information sites. If none of those seem to provide enough information, feel free to add more about the character here. However, please do not use this section as a full history section unless your canon is ridiculously obscure. General rule of thumb: if there are a good amount of descriptive resources, please just link them and use this section to add in what may have been left out, as opposed to writing an entire history section. <b>Personality:</b> Give us at minimum 2-3 full paragraphs of how you understand your character's personality. Talk about basic characteristics, any major developments over the course of their canon, their motives, their social behavior, and anything else you can think of that shows off your knowledge of this character. <b>Strengths/Weaknesses:</b> Try to cover the good points of what they can do, their life skills (not necessarily powers, but things they're just good at). Go into their biggest fears and what they just can’t do. <b><u>Pokémon Information</u></b> <b>Affiliation:</b> What career path will your character be taking? Breeder, Trainer? Or maybe even down the dark path of becoming a member of Team Rocket? Note: All Rocket members start as grunts. (For right now, only those three positions are available, whether your character chooses to follow their assigned path or not.) <b>Starter:</b> What starter pokémon do you want your character to have? Please use the list linked above to choose from. Certain pokémon have an orange star next to their names; if you choose one of these starters (Deino, Zorua, Litwick, Pikachu, Scyther, Dratini, Bagon, Gible, Axew, Ralts, Riolu, Beldum, Larvitar, Eevee, or Beldum) you must provide reasoning. You do not need to explain your reasoning for pokémon other than those listed above. <b>Password:</b> This is where you'll put the passwords from the Rules and the F.A.Q. There are two words, to assure you've read both. <b><u>Samples</u></b> <b>First Person Sample:</b> The sample must take place in Route_29's setting. Eight sentences is the minimum. This is a PokéConnect post--one that will be on the character's journal, broadcast to the network. Although it is short, it needs to show how your character would communicate with others, as well as be descriptive enough to express the character's voice without sounding too generic. <b>Third Person Sample:</b> The sample must take place in Route_29's setting. The minimum is 300 words. Please note that what we are looking for is an inner working into the character’s thoughts and actions, and how the character responds to the setting, not something that could be taken as an excerpt fanfic. You may use other characters to bounce your characters actions off of, but everything should still be mostly from their point of view.

Character
Name: Sayori Wakaba (often called Yori)
Series: Vampire Knight
Timeline: Chapter 70
Canon Resource Links: Here.

Personality:
Sayori is a minor character in the Vampire Knight series, however this doesn't mean she doesn't have a basic outlined personality set for her. No, she has a rather strong one, sometimes better written out than the main character of the manga. Sayori is overall a caring, kind, modest, discrete, a rather worrisome person and just your typical teenage girl not truly interested in people who's lives are too showy or not worth her attention. For example the night class. While everyone is drooling and madly in love with the vampire class at Cross academy, Sayori generally ignores them. However she does admit to being a tad bit afraid of them and that she would date someone from the day class if it weren't for the fact that she were engaged to someone she hasn't met yet. Of course this fact doesn't bother her, she has better things to worry about.

Sayori is shown to care deeply about Yuki Cross/Kuran and worries about her often. She worried about the fact that she didn't get enough sleep, that she didn't stay awake in class, and that she didn't do too well in school. However those worries were gone and replaced with the worry of her friend being a vampire and her hoping Yuki handles that fact well and can manage on her own. Sure she cares about other people, like Zero and classmates, but Yuki will always be loved and cared for more than others simply because they were roommates, and have known each other for a long time. Now this leads to her being very observant of course! Since she worries a lot about Yuki, she notices things that others refuse to or don't.

Sayori did not know that the night class was actually the vampire class until Aido protected her from vampires. Since then she has been shown to not fear vampires even when they lust for blood (as shown in a vampire ball held after a year Yuki became a vampire), she simply acts like nothing is going on and is very good at is. However of course she can be very deadpanned at times especially with vampires and can seem to not care because of this.

Sayori is discrete, and modest in the way that she dresses. She wears her school uniform often, keeps her hair short and kept, her nails clean, and doesn't lavish too much in girly things like dresses or such only when needed. However because she comes from a distinguished family, she does sometimes wear certain things with pride like a dress at the vampire ball.

Sayori can also be a determined person who seeks what she wants to know and won't stop until she gets answers. Before meeting up with Yuki after a year of not seeing her, Sayori would often speak to Zero and question him on his thought and beliefs of vampires and demanded to know whether he would kill Yuki or not. However later on, once she saw things be peaceful between Zero and Yuki, she stopped worrying as much and only worries now about losing her friendship with her friend.

Affiliation: Trainer

Samples
First Person Sample:
( Sayori scrunched her nose slightly and sighed mentally. She wasn't the type to show too much of her emotions but suddenly she felt confused and dazed. So she would indulge in the right to ask and seem worried. )

Excuse me but where am I? I feel like I'm in a dream. I think...I think someone I knew played a game that looked like this but...

( She places a finger to her chin and ponders. )

I just can't put a finger to it.

( Sayori of course realizes the pun but chooses to ignore it. After all this was serious. She wouldn't be able to see her friend Yuki anymore or even Zero. sure Zero and her weren't too close but she still cared for him because of Yuki. )

Does anyone know...does anyone know a Yuki Kuran?

Third Person Sample:
Sayori sat under a large tree in Johto. She looked up at the sky in a rather dim manner with the Vulpix on her lap. She would never admit it but she grew to like the pokemon the moment she was paired up with it. The creature reminded her of her friend Yuki back when she was human. So cute, needy, and fragile. Sayori stroked its head gently with her right hand and sighed. She didn't mind the moment of peace nor did she mind the warm creature on her, just that she was worried. Worried about eating, she wasn't a vampire that could survive off of blood, worried about Yuki, worried about her father, worried about school, and worried about what was going to happen.

However a tiny mantra entered her head, 'You can't control what will happen'. She knew this was true and it played in her mind many times. She had a fiancee back home who she didn't even know, she had her life set out for her, and now that she had escaped it, she was tossed into a situation she knew she couldn't control. She couldn't control winning battles, catching other creatures, getting money, or even finding new friends. Not that she was looking for any! But still she wanted to be back home in the comfort of her home.

A dead panned face was all that was seen that day. As much as Yori thought or even considered she didn't let it show. That was the way she was, sometimes she thought how it would be like to be her friend Yuki, showing everything so clearly and easily. Maybe she could pull it off....but then she would have to pick up the role of victim her friend did. Sigh, sigh.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept your application at this time, as it lacks the Strengths/Weakness section and is thus incomplete. We also noticed certain weak points in the personality section which we felt would be best to bring to your attention in the case that you wished to re-apply. Firstly, it describes Sayori’s worries but doesn’t discuss where this worry might come from or many other aspects of her personality, such as her behavior and motivations. Secondly, we'd like to see more in the way of self-perception, or maybe insecurities if she has them. You're welcome to reapply as many times as you like.
