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!

Canon Resource Links: 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.

Personality: 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.
Strengths/Weaknesses: 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.

Pokémon Information
Affiliation: 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.)
Starter: 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.
Password: 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.

Samples
First Person Sample: 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.

Third Person Sample: 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: Pinkie Pie [Pinkamena Diane Pie]
Series: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Timeline: After Season 2 Luna Eclipse
Canon Resource Links: Canon | Pinkie Pie

Personality:

'Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of LAUGHTER'

Pinkie pie is the most outgoing and hyperactive pony. She is very energetic, playful, and fun. Her soul mission is to ensure every person she meets leaves with a smile. She will sing, dance, play instruments, and just about anything. Instead of walking, she hops happily. Pinkie Pie represents the harmony of laughter. No matter who the person is, she will greet that person and make sure that person smiles. Sometimes she will pull harmless pranks for some laughs. Even in danger, she will either look like she's scared or laugh it out. Pinkie Pie believes it's more fun to be scared or panic. During Nightmare Night, she runs frequently from Princess Luna, who once was Nightmare Moon, while screaming. She later explains she only did it on purpose because it's fun. She is fantastic when it comes to throwing parties. In case for emergencies, she keeps a ball inside a tree to play with outside. It's difficult to bring Pinkie Pie's spirit down. Even if someone tries to give her a hint like 'I got my eye on you', Pinkie will smile delightfully and responds 'Oh, I know! I got my eye on you too!'. She is very bubbly. This pony refuses to go anywhere without a smile.

'Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.'

Sometimes it's hard to take 'no' for an answer or a hint. For Pinkie Pie, it flies right over her head. She can be a very persistent pony if it means to object her goal. If someone refuses to be her friend, she will find a way to make it happen by studying and learning the person, approach the person differently, and many more. She will knock on the door or pop up from places where you least expect her. In most cases, she even tops Rainbow Dash's speed when Pinkie Pie suddenly appears next to her. Pinkie Pie knows no boundaries when her mind is in a one track. Her persistence can be annoying enough to make a pony's ear bleed. When Pinkie Pie tries to unite the ponies and the buffaloes of their differences with her song and dance, it backfires. Pinkie Pie tends to over exaggerate her help with problems. Most importantly, never ever break a Pinkie's Promise. If Pinkie Pie knows of this promise, she will make sure the promise is kept. If one dares to break the promise, Pinkie will follow that pony. Pinkie Pie raged when she thought Applejack broke it and followed her. Another time she followed Sparkle Twilight to make sure Sparkle didn't break her's.

For a pony who can be bubbly time to time, Pinkie Pie's memories are flawless. Pinkie Pie keeps track of everyone's birthdays and almost anything else that seems important. She remembers everyone's names in Ponyville. If anyone out of Ponyville was to visit, Pinkie Pie will be the first to notice. When Twilight Sparkle came to town, it surprised Pinkie Pie. Later Pinkie Pie threw a welcoming party for the new guest. In one episode Rainbow Dash tries to lie about helping 'Harry' to avoid Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie asks who this 'Harry' is because she doesn't recall anyone name 'Harry' in Ponyville.

Not only Pinkie Pie over exaggerates her giggles and happiness, she tends to do the same with her insecurity. When her friends refuses to show up for an after party for her pet, Pinkie Pie is paranoid. Quickly she believes her friends don't like her parties. Her puffy hair flattens down as she over reacts. Rainbow Dash had to drag her out because of Pinkie Pie's stubborn. In another episode, Pinkie Pie slammed the door on Twilight Sparkle when Twilight implied not all ponies are 'cut' for responsibilities. Because of that response, Pinkie Pie had to prove she was capable of taking care of children.

Like a flip of a switch, Pinkie Pie can flip back to her cheerful personality or go on a fix rampage. When the Pinkie Promise was broken by Applejack, Applejack had to explain to Pinkie Pie that the promise wasn't broken. After the explanation, Pinkie Pie's rage quickly dies out with a cheery 'okay' response. She sometimes acts like a dog when her friends are threatened in anyway. Pinkie Pie can be overprotective.
