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.
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!

Riku Replica | Kingdom Hearts | No reserve | Reapp

AIM/MSN: yazooairspace @ AIM
Timezone: MST
Current Characters in Route: None
Character
Name: Riku Replica
Series: Kingdom Hearts (Chain of Memories)
Timeline: Just before fighting Riku in the Twilight Town card world
Canon Resource Links: His KH Wiki page
Personality: First of all (as his name implies) the Riku Replica is basically a clone of an existing person, and a good chunk of his personality comes from that person as a result. He also, over a very short time period, goes through a series of personality ‘changes’ as a result of memory manipulation by Naminé, giving him a very confused personality when all is said and done.
Before the first change, he’s confident to the point of arrogance, stubborn and aggressive. He's horribly blunt when he talks, almost insulting if you don’t know him well or aren’t used to it. He knows that he’s a clone, but it doesn’t seem to hinder his ability to taunt anyone he thinks is weaker than him. However, he gets highly defensive if someone else mentions that fact, and is quick to reassure them (and possibly himself in the process) that it doesn’t matter to him. He demonstrates this very quickly, meeting the real Riku before anyone else in the castle bar the Organization members.
Also in his meeting with Riku, he differentiates himself by boasting that while Riku fears darkness and is reluctant to use it, he doesn't fear it at all and as a result is already much stronger and has the capability to become stronger.
He has his memories tampered with by Naminé after this meeting, changing him for the first time. He forgets that he's a clone, ridding himself of that anger trigger temporarily and also 'remembering' Naminé, who he had just met. He becomes very loyal to and protective of her and hostile to anyone who seems to be a threat. This includes Sora, who becomes a high-threat target in the Replica's mind, despite merely being a person of interest before (and potentially someone weak).
As a result of this, the Replica fights Sora several times, getting beaten and retreating each time. This reveals an aspect of the Replica's personality not shown outside fighting: the more the Replica starts to lose, the less likely he is to play fair. He's a sore loser, much like Riku, but has absolutely no qualms about fighting dirty.
He attempts to strike Sora when he's down after their battle, prompting Naminé to take action and knock him out with her version of a heart attack, which supposedly removes the fake memories she gave him. Later, it’s shown that this isn’t the case, because...
...It doesn't revert him back to how he was before, but rather gives him a more mixed personality. He still feels the same way towards Naminé, wanting to stay by her side and protect her despite what she had done, but doesn't resent Sora anymore, since his knowledge of Sora was based on the fake memories.
It's worth noting that the Replica tends react with anger to anything that confuses or upsets him, either physically or verbally, often breaking the “cool, confident”; mask he puts up (another similarity to Riku). These ‘tantrums’ can be triggered by anything from someone disagreeing with him to being confronted with something he just can’t wrap his head around.
In this vein, he's actually very reactive period. Anger, as mentioned above, but happiness and sadness also tend to be a little exaggerated as well.
(Note: Was in the game prior, but had not undergone a significant change in personality during that time. Mostly just gained more knowledge about Pokémon.)
Strengths/Weaknesses:
Strengths:
~Physically strong - Slightly stronger than a normal kid his age, even without special abilities. Probably more durable as well.
~Loyal - If he likes you and trusts you, you're unlikely to get rid of him anytime soon.
~Determined - While he's willing to give up on something that doesn't entirely interest him, if he really really wants to accomplish something, it will get done, or he'll die trying. Pretty much literally, depending on the task.
Weaknesses:
~Horrible at hiding emotions - Mostly anger and surprise.
~Has very little life experiences and thus gets confused very easily about just about everything. He has memories of some things, but hasn't actually experienced very much of anything except fighting, which he knows very well.
~Quick to anger
~Stubborn
~Argumentative. Also doesn’t like authority figures very much, or anyone telling him what to do, really.
~Easily manipulated - Looks 17, has the social experience of a toddler, and the life experience of a newborn. It's not hard to convince him of certain things, or to do certain things as he's not entirely familiar with how everything works yet. See life experience up above.
~Can power trip if allowed to

Samples
First Person Sample: [Hello Pokéworld, do you like accidental posts filled with ranting? Do you like Torchics? If so, you’re in luck because this video feed has both!
That is, it’s currently only on because the owner literally tossed it on the floor and it’s filming upside down currently. Said owner is not currently visible, but his voice is audible.]
I wasn’t even gone that long! What happened to all my stuff? My badges, my money, my clothes...oh no, my bracelet! Where’d my bracelet go?! Imogen’ll--
[Something flashes by the screen and thuds to the floor nearby. A chirp follows that, and a Torchic’s head suddenly fills the screen.]
....Hey shoo, you’re not helpi--is that on?
I swear I'll find-- And abruptly the filming stops.]
Third Person Sample:
Cold weather was stupid. Rainy cold weather was also stupid. That lady calling him his mother was also stupid and twice as annoying the second time he had to deal with her, as she didn’t answer any of the questions he had pertaining to why he woke up in her house (again) and why did she keep lying about being his mother? At least she was cheerful while kicking him out of ‘his’ house.
At least it wasn’t snowing this time around.
And thankfully, whoever dragged him out of the Castle the second time apparently took pity on him and gave him a slightly more useful starter. She was a Torchic, according to the Pokédex entry, a tiny Pokémon he’d yet to actually encounter in the wild or otherwise and that looked to be nearly completely useless. However, she was a Fire type, and he discovered that she emitted heat--a sort of portable, feathery heater--and didn’t mind riding in his jacket. Win-win, he stayed warm, and she stayed (relatively) dry.
Unfortunately, he also discovered that she was afraid of other Pokémon and thus entirely useless when traveling between cities...and she was his only Pokémon for the time being, so he spent much of his first couple days running from Pokémon hidden in the grass and trees and trying to convince her to actually sleep and not spend all night making alarmed chirps at small noises. Only when he threatened to ball her did she quiet down.
For a while.
“Stop chirping, you're getting us weird looks,” he hissed at his new partner, for the dozenth time that morning. They weren’t the weirdest thing in Violet by far, but that wasn’t a very comforting thought to him. She chirped once, louder than before, then turned her attention to attempting to pick apart his jacket’s zipper with her beak.
“Don’t do that either! ...I guess that means you’re hungry? You don’t get to be picky, though, I don’t have a lot to spend right now.”
