APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN FROM MIDNIGHT ON THE 1ST to 11:59 PM ON THE 5TH OF EVERY MONTH (EST)
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Take the code contained in the textarea and post it to your journal. Fill out the application there.
PLEASE READ THE APPLICATION EXPLANATION BEFORE COMPLETING YOUR APP. It contains important requirements and information for how you should complete certain sections.
Post a link to your application with the comment header format of CHARACTER NAME | CANON | RESERVED/NOT RESERVED. Feel free to stylize it in any way you wish, but please include this information.
Applications are not screened. You are free to lock your application on your journal after being accepted or rejected.
App challenges are not allowed for reserved characters. If two people post apps for the same unreserved character, the first app will be judged. If it is rejected the second application will be judged. Because the character is not reserved, no one has a speicifc claim and thus the original app being rejected should not mean others cannot apply for this unclaimed character.
There is a cap of 120 characters total for now, just to see how the game handles at that size. This cap may be raised based on reception and player vote. For now casts are capped at six characters.
Apps will be judged after apps close, and responses will be sent out ASAP.
CASTS REACHING CAP: Homestuck (6/6), Love Live: Sunshine! (4/6), Persona 5 (4/6), Tales of Berseria (4/6) FRANCHISES REACHING CAP: N/A CURRENT GAME CAP: 88/120
SEMI-NEW: THERE IS A NEW CONTINUITY FRANCHISE CAP OF 10 CHARACTERS. THIS APPLIES TO FRANCHISES WITH MAJOR CONTINUITY INVOLVED, LIKE FATE/, MCU, STAR WARS, ETC. THE SIX CHARACTER CAP STILL APPLIES TO ALL CANONS, BUT THERE WILL ALSO BE A 10 CHARACTER CAP APPLIED TO THE FRANCHISE ITSELF TO PREVENT GAME CROWDING AND TO KEEP CAPS FAIR.
FOR MARCH CYCLE: APPS WILL BE OPEN FOR 7 DAYS, NOT 5. ANY APPS SUBMITTED IN MARCH CAN INCLUDE A WRITTEN SAMPLE DUE TO LOW MOD ACTIVITY.
Don't fret! Your application has potential, but it's not all the way there yet. Before a full judgement can be made, we'd like to see the following changes made to your application as it exists now:
▢ Please expand upon the given magic a little more. The magic itself is totally fine! But just an example of what a light spell might officially look like for the game would help to showcase the extent of the magic itself, if that makes sense.
Please respond with the corrections or response within response within 48 hours. Also, feel free to ask for clarification on any points.
Essentially, I'm thinking "Holy" magic but without the actual holy elements. His magic would appear very angelic, but he'd never use an actual bible or cross or any verses. For the actual spells he'd be capable of, here's a little list of examples!
♪ Shooting an actual beam(s) of light from the sky ♪ Creating orbs of light that can act as lanterns or deflect projectiles (they'd vanish when hit) ♪ Buff type magic that would give small boosts to allies. Extra defense, extra speed, extra attack. Minor spells that would linger for a few minutes, or more powerful spells that would take his constant concentration (so he can't move and has to keep casting it if he wants to give someone Extra Strength, leaving himself vulnerable.) ♪ To concentrate light to parts of his body, like if he grabs someone with his hand it can cause pulses of damage. ♪ BASICALLY very RPG white mage type... Although: no healing spells for him, so it gives off more of a questionable feel. Like, an evil white mage. Or something.
For all of these, more minor versions are easier for him but still limited, and he could always focus to cast spells that are more advanced but they would be far more draining, leave him vulnerable, or both.
I hope that makes sense, but please let me know if I need to expand more! I just didn't want to pour a ton of details on you guys all at once if I didn't understand the magic concept properly!
Your character is being taken on a magical journey...
Before you can be accepted into the game, however, you must complete the following steps: ▢ Reply to this comment to acknowledge you're received your acceptance. ▢ Create an info post for your character, an IC inbox and HMD. You must have a working HMD to be accepted into the game as we don't have a game-sanctioned HMD meme. These posts can be bare bones or placeholders for now, but they must be filled out properly (if applicable) by the end of the next AC period. ▢ Reply to the taken list form post. ▢ When posting to either the main or network community, your character tag will be ensemble stars: eichi tenshouin. Please use this on all posts you make and tag. ▢ Join the communities spellbinders, spellminders and spellgrinders. ▢ Once you have access to the OOC community, reply to the player contact post ▢ Make sure you've read over all of the necessary info pages and rules...here's the navigation page for reference! ▢ Have fun and welcome to Spellbind! ▢ For game opening the OOC meet and greet is here, and you'll find a game opening log on the 8th at 8 PM EST.
▢ NOTE: Thank you for the examples! Most of these are fine, but the description of "buff type magic" doesn't directly related to creation/manipulation of light energy as a physical source and sort of deviates from the rest of the spell examples. Because of this, these wouldn't be possible in order to stay within the constraints of one type of magic; the rule of semantics.
