bastionmods | Application

Before you app

Applications are always open, but are processed every other Saturday. You can apply for any character from any canon as an OU or AU. You can also apply for an OCs. Be sure to copy the correct form below when you go to write your app.

Currently there can be only one version of each character within the Bastion. That character can be either OU or AU. This is subject to change at a later date.

The character limit is currently three. You can app up to two characters from the same canon, so long as the characters do not interact in canon and would not interact within the game. Exceptions to this rule will be allowed for special cases, so if you think you have a possible exception please contact a mod about it.

If you would like to app a fourth character, you must have passed the previous two ACs in order to do so. If you did not pass the previous two ACs, then we will reject your application.

Apps will be read in the order they are posted. If two people app the same character, we will make a decision on the first application before reading the second. The only exception to this rule is in the case of a reserve, where we will read the app from whoever has the reserve first. There are no app challenges.

Please read the rules, FAQ, and setting pages before applying. Also be sure to check the reserves page and taken page.

Please finish your app before posting. Once you are finished, post your application here. If you need more than one comment to post it, then respond to your first comment to finish your application.

If your application is accepted, be sure to read all the information and follow all of the steps in the acceptance post. If we ask you for revisions, you will have 72 hours to post those revisions. If you are rejected, you must wait two weeks before applying again.

As a note, OCs will be held to high standards. Do not skimp on details in any section of the application if you are planning to app an OC.

Powers:

Always On: Jason has a high resistance to electricity, since he's the son of Jupiter. It'll knock him off his feet and will cause him some pain, but it won't kill him. In canon, he has survived enough voltage to kill at least 20 men. Jason can also cause damage and kill beings that are considered air elementals, such as storm spirits, where normally people have a hard time even hitting them.

Unfortunately, there are some things he does that he has no control over. For example, when feeling an intense emotion, his body starts discharging static electricity as naturally as a person releasing sweat from their pores.

Limited: He can control the winds in a way that basically allows him to fly like a blond Superman/Peter Pan. Now, normally, he can only carry one other person. Two people is hard for even a short distance. Also, the heavier the person or whatever he's carrying is, the more concentration it requires of him to stay aloft.

Another ability he has is controlling the air pressure, but only in an enclosed space. In canon, Jason has dropped the air pressure in a room of King Midas' mansion. This doesn't mean he's immune to the effects of it, because he still is. His ears will pop and he will go unconscious if it gets too low.

Jason is also able to summon lightning, as long as nothing is blocking his powers or if they're protected by materials that can't conduct electricity. In canon, he can do this once every few hours because summoning lightning takes a lot of energy from him. As such, Jason tends to use this ability sparingly.

One last thing is that when he teams up with Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, they're able to create a storm between the two of them. They can only do this once a day, as it drains a lot of energy.

Entry: Jason can be found on the Skyway!
Other: He's a shocker.
