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!

Helpful links!

<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.

Re: Steve Rogers | MCU | Reserved (sorta)

Samples
First Person Sample:

[the view, which seems to be of patch of grass, is jostling around, tapping as well as a muffled curse] ...probably Stark technology. Oh, is it working?

This light means somethings recording, right? [the view is adjusted around quickly, Steve coming into view, though half obscured with a thumb on the camera, the sky in the background] Isn't there supposed to be someone who explains these gadgets? That lady didn't say much of anything. [Steve seems to not be looking at the camera at all, as if unaware of it at the moment]

Wait, Stark's name isn't on it, obviously can't be his then, he'd never miss the chance to plaster his name everywhere. [he laughs as he finally seems to look at the camera] Oh, is that the lens? Is it live?

Okay, so did I wake up a new century again? This is definitely different. I don't know if people can see this, but anyone have any information they can give me, because I'm definitely not in Kansas anymore.

Third Person Sample:

He realizes now that he really isn't in Kansas anymore. Or anywhere he's even remotely familiar with. He's not even sure if he can explain this place away by saying he slept through a few centuries (if he could survive that in the first place is questionable). That was a shocker enough on its own, but now this so soon after? Yeah, he's more than a little confused and frustrated by the sudden change.

Yet, this place doesn't seem too bad.

No, it's nice, a little more down to earth like home was before he slept away 70 years. Not exactly, but still nothing like that technology drowned era he woke up in. It's beautiful really. He wants to draw it, maybe even paint it, because the color here is refreshing, the air soothing. The music weird, but he'll ignore that. Maybe he woke up in one of those other worlds that Thor's file had mentioned.

He'll make due til he understands where he is and what this is. Really, the animals here are bizarre. He's pretty sure someone referred to them as Pokemon, which sounds foreign enough to just accept and move on. He's not one to argue linguistics.

The device he messed around with a moment ago beeped at him, drawing him from his musings of this world and how to paint his surroundings. He opened the gadget, it then spoke, much like that JARVIS Stark had, but more mechanical. The screen showed a strange bird, and when Steve looked over, he saw it perched in a tree, the device naming and listing some fact about it. Steve looked back down at the device, reading what the screen listed. It was by far already far more useful than anything Stark has given him.

That was already a step in the right direction in Steve's book.
