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.

Kain Fuery ll Fullmetal Alchemist ll Reserved Pt 3 of 3

Pokémon Information
Affiliation: Trainer
Starter: Lillipup
Password: Cherries, "Strudel"



Samples
First Person Sample:
[It takes a moment for the screen to focus as the feed turns on. Which is unusual when one stops to think about it, but that’s answered quickly as Fuery finally notices everything is up and running.]

Oh, it works. Hopefully all the parts were placed back correctly…

[He’ll worry about that later as he actually addresses the camera.]

This technology is really something else, a lot more complicated than fuses and transistors anyday. Has there been any sort of comparison of levels of industry from back home done? It could be a useful bit of information in regards to seeing what sort statistics that would bring to light, especially in combining and talking over the differences in such levels and what could be created from such notes.

Even though my viewpoints and home seem really antiquated compared to this world it could be fun to compare and contrast the catalysts for the differences or where in history the divergence between technology levels happened would be at least fascinating for any history inclined people out there.

I don’t want to seem presumptuous but with so many seemingly being brought here from such differing lives, talking about how our worlds operate and differ could be enlightening. Or at least make a good excuse to share stories with one ano--

[Whoops the feed just went staticky and there may or may not have been a slight white noise there before it goes black. Whoops.]


Third Person Sample:

There was something decidedly off and wrong in a way, at having these living creatures battle one another just so one could earn money and reputation. Then again one could say there was something wrong about using glory and honor of country to make men and women join the military to kill and die for said country, so maybe, he didn’t really have as much of a leg to stand on in regards to this.

“You don’t really find anything wrong with this do you?”

The Lillipup only looked back up at him before flopping over on to his back and wiggling as if to use the ground to scratch an itch. Fuery wasn’t certain if that was a negative or a positive, but considering the dog like creature hadn’t bitten him or any other aggressive behavior he wasn’t that bothered by all of this.

Maybe if he thought of it like field maneuvers it wouldn’t be so bad. He would be helping the little guy and any others that may end up with him get strong and capable to defend themselves and others, and if it was a means for others to intimidate or fight others, then he would have to adapt to such as well.

“It’ll be like leading a unit in a training exercise is all.”

The moment training was said the Lillipup’s ears perk up and he’s rolled back onto his feet and with tail wagging looks up Fuery expectantly. The act causes the worried look on his face to be replaced by a smile and the return of his optimism.

“Well, looks like someone’s eager, but let me first read up on how to train you first okay. I wasn’t a leading type to begin with so we’re going to have to learn how this works together.”

If it would help in getting back then he would adapt. He just had to keep reminding himself of this and keep going until he could get back.

Before we make our final decision on your application, we would like a revised personality section for Fuery. Though we feel that the current section presents a thorough look at how Fuery functions as a part of Mustang's unit in the military, we also feel that it relies too heavily on describing Fuery's character as who he is in relation to Mustang, when we would prefer to see a section that details who he is as a character in his own right. In the revised section, we would like to see more focus on who Fuery is as an individual, and how his traits have shaped him as a standalone character above and beyond the role he plays as a part of his military unit. You will have one week to complete these requests before the character is available again.

Hi, due to changes in my work schedule for this week I will not be able to give a revision within the time limit and thus am placing my withdrawal of my application at this time.

Thank you for your time.
