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. |

Dr. Franken Stein | Soul Eater | OU
Age: OOCly, 29; ICly, around 32.
Contact: OOC journal:
Plurk:
AIM: tandemthoughts
Email and others available by request.
Other characters: None in this game.
Character name: Dr. Franken Stein
Series: Soul Eater (anime-verse)
Canon point: During episode 41 of the anime – “Twirl Round and Round – A New World in Which the Doc Dances?”.
Summary:
Personality:
Stein is a man whose personality is best described as the product of two conflicting identities constantly at war with one another.
A scientist, doctor, and Professor to his many students, it can be said that Stein is a man who is, at his core, good-natured and well-meaning. He genuinely cares for his students, looking out for their safety and acting in their best interests whenever he can. Moreover, he has an overarching desire to do good and be good, even if only to avoid the consequences and punishment that could follow otherwise.
In the eyes of his students, Stein is eccentric, wacky, and more than a bit morbid. His sense of humor can be dry and dark. For the most part, he remains detached from emotions – especially those surrounding love and happiness – claiming they’re simply beyond his comprehension. He is a man of keen intellect and strong instincts, with a passion for science, and a thirst for knowledge – at any and all costs.
And that’s where things get interesting.
It is said in canon that everyone has at least a bit of madness within them that stays dormant until roused by something. For Stein, however, madness is an everyday struggle; one that forces him to walk the fine line between what he wants, and what is right. Madness does not make him malicious per se, but rather, purely hedonistic: Unconcerned with the health and well-being of others around him, and focused solely on his own personal desires. Those desires typically involve his greatest joys: Dismemberment, and dissection.
In his normal mental state, Stein is able to make substitutions to placate these desires. For example, he can commonly be seen dissecting various species of animals, often as an in-class assignment for his students. However, in a state of madness, this qualification becomes null, and he will dismember other humans without a second thought – even his known allies. Once the madness takes hold Stein is prone to hallucinations, and can even lose touch with reality entirely, with or without his knowledge.
Many things can act as a trigger for madness. Most notably, fear. While in combat, madness makes him extremely volatile and dangerous to everyone around. When the going gets tough, he simply cannot be trusted to maintain his composure. Despite this, he’s not perceived by his allies as a threat or an enemy. He is, however, someone who makes other counterparts very wary, and is closely watched, lest the madness take hold.
In short, Stein is a man who is respected by many, loved by few, and trusted by none.
History:
From what is known about him, it can be said Stein grew up as something of a child prodigy; with the only caveat being his difficulty keeping his sanity. Stein’s superior intellect made him bored of everyday life and societal norms, and thus he turned to science to satisfy his lust for knowledge. He does not desire to be evil, but struggles with understanding and meeting the criteria one must satisfy to be considered “good”. He battles with urges that, to others, may seem sinister; to him, they are purely benign. An example of this would be his passion for dissecting specimens of all varieties: Living and dead, human and animal alike. When he cannot find a subject that suits his needs, he will gladly turn the blade in on himself and explore his own inner workings, hence his sutured appearance.
At some point, Stein was discovered to be a gifted meister, (wielder of living weapons), and enrolled in an academy specialized for developing those skills. He graduated at the top of his class, hailed as the strongest and most skilled fighter in the school’s history.
Powers:
To begin with, Stein is a very skilled hand-to-hand fighter, well-versed in martial arts. He is also able to wield a variety of weapons with ease. In the past, he’s wielded a scythe and a hammer, to name just two. Below are special powers.
Soul Perception/Soul Feedback: Like Maka and Crona, Stein also has the ability to sense the souls of others, even from great distances away. In addition to sensing their presence and general location, he can identify the characteristics of the soul – whether someone is kind or malicious; scared or confident.
Soul Force/Soul Menace: A means of forming his soul’s wavelength into a powerful blast of energy, purged into a foe when physical contact is made with his palms or fingertips. Also comes in a slight variation, Twin Lance, which uses the heels of both palms as points of contact with a foe during transmission of the energy blast.
Madness: Perhaps better defined as an illness or altered mental state than an ability, the personality and behavior of this character change dramatically when madness takes hold. In combat, madness gives Stein the ability to fight without fear, and the will to act in disregard of the safety of himself and his allies. It makes him faster and more focused; but conversely, also maniacal and bloodthirsty. Madness allows him to accomplish things not otherwise possible for him in a normal mental state. This is, of course, at the expense of his body and mind. Just because he does not experience the fear of pain or death doesn’t mean he’s impervious to damage. He will take the same damage and heal at the same rate as the average human.
To be congruent with castmates in this game, all abilities - including his madness - will be kept under the three-per-day limit unless tonics are used.
Entry: In the madness-induced state he’s in during episode 41, (canon point), Stein at one point blacks out and wakes on the Skyway, just outside of Bastion. Drawn by its soothing aura, he’s able to make it there on his own, though bewildered, shaky, and exhausted from the madness.
Other: Can’t think of anything at the moment! ^w^
