Understand the secrets and have some fun

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

Revision/addition to personality section

[personal profile] megas 2013-05-10 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
All in all, Alexander is larger than life in both behaviour and size. He tells Waver once, "Food, sex, sleep, and war! What ever you do, you must do it to the fullest. That is the secret of life." Alexander follows this philosophy to the T in everything he does, whether it be leading his army, formulating a plan of attack against the other summoned servants, or playing video games.

Like most of the servants in Fate/Zero, Alexander was a leader, but did not work alone. His greatest attack, known as a Noble Phantasm, actually summons his former warriors in a reality marble-- each of whom is individually a heroic spirit, but chooses to serve Alexander. This is one of the best examples of how Alexander works; he is constantly on the look out for allies in the interest of conquest, dividing the spoils of his greed. Though he fought at the front of his army always, he never doubts his warriors had a hell of a hand in his victories. He considers the strength of a king to be that of those who stand behind him, telling Arturia at some point that her belief that a king must stand alone is an idealistic, martyr-like folly. A tyrant though he may be, he knows the merit of a real reward. His intent was to wish to be human again should he have gained the grail; had he known the grail was corrupt, it can easily be assumed he would not recognise it as a treasure worth its toll and likely would have joined in the effort to destroy it. This is the kind of man Alexander is; he can discern the true value of a victory, the power of an ally or enemy, and the worth of a dream. He will follow through on everything, doing it to the fullest. He's reliable in that sense, and it likely explains why people are so quick to trust him.

He is a proud individual, but his pride is not easily damaged; he is confident. He has an ego, but it is without doubts. Even in being defeated by Gilgamesh he is not without victory; he gained a battle that "made [his] heart dance". It is adventure that truly inspires Alexander, and he believes he will always come out victor- but he is not foolhardy or deluded about it. He is strategic, learns from the defeats of his enemies, and though he puts forth a personality even Waver believes is foolish at first, Alexander is clever in most respects. Still, he won't always make the 'wisest' or safest of choices- not if the other choice is more fun or enjoyable. After all, the best and fullest way is not always the easiest and safest one; it is the one of grandeur and adventure, where a risk can be taken and conquered.
