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.

Player name: Poppy
Age: still ancient

Other characters: Marie Mjolnir

Character name: Kuro
Series: Blue Exorcist (manga)
Canon point: directly after chapter 34

Summary: Kuro is a cait sith, a type of demon that possesses cats. A long time ago, he became the guardian deity of a village of silkworm farmers. He would kill mice that preyed on the worms and warded the village against disaster in exchange for being given a good life where he received many delicious sacrifices by the villagers. He loved the humans, but his purpose within the village was gradually lost as it shifted away from silkworm farming. Over time, they stopped worshiping him entirely and came to forget their feline deity.

That he still cared for them made it all the more painful when people made the decision to bulldoze his shrine and build on the land. Feeling abandoned and betrayed, he went berserk and began destroying machinery and terrorizing the area around his shrine. There was nothing more to be done but to try to have him exorcised, and True Cross was called on when local shaman failed.

Shiro Fujimoto led the group and knew exactly how to handle him. Rather than slaying the demon, Shiro realized what the problem was and decided to talk him down instead. With Kuro’s abandonment issues identified, the man befriended him and shared catnip wine with him. He became very attached to Shiro, agreeing to be his familiar and to act as guardian of one of the gates to True Cross Academy.

When Shiro died, Kuro’s feelings of abandonment led to acting fierce and wild. He denied that his master was dead, and fought against the people he thought to be lying about the death. His rampage led to meeting Rin who was able to understand his pain and to bond with him over their shared loss. He became attached to Rin, and acts as his familiar instead. He is very much a cat, and he has his pride about the whole situation. He doesn’t like being belittled or treated as lesser than he thinks of himself as. He can be quite sensitive and doesn’t take jokes directed against him very well. Overall, he’s playful and enjoys a lot of attention from people, but is also a fierce creature when he believes the situation calls for it.

Powers:
Nekomata: Kuro can change from a tiny cat into a gigantic beast with increasingly demonic features, growing to enormity and getting incredible strength to match. He is particularly durable and agile in this form, and can be used as an excellent mount for multiple people. This can go under the three times per day power rule.

Entry: Awakening surrounded by ‘statues’ in True Cross uniforms, Kuro touches one and it falls apart. The rest of the time is spent rampaging on the Skyway as a giant angry monster cat. Short of Rin’s intervention or a powerful enough force to beat him down, he’ll just keep doing what he’s doing.
Other: He’s capable of communication with anyone that might have some sort of telepathy with demons or perhaps people that can talk to animals, but otherwise he meows a lot.
