Application

[bastionmods]

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.

Thank you for applying at The Bastion. Before we can accept you, there are a few points we need clarified.

- Roxas was in Vatheon for quite some time, so we would like a paragraph or two describing any changes to his personality that occurred during his time at Vatheon.

You have 72 hours to post your revisions. Please post them as a reply to this comment.

If you have any questions about the revision request, please feel free to contact us.

Roxas is still pretty much a sweet dork, but he has gained confidence and maturity in his time in Vatheon. A lot of this is thanks to all the friendships he was able to make (and in some cases to continue), most of which were longer, deeper, and more open relationships than he had any opportunity for before. He can still be awkward with people, but it doesn't discourage him from trying, and though he doesn't trust strangers immediately, it's easier for him to give them a chance. His friends mean a lot more to him now than his own self-knowledge, and he would never abandon them. He still isn't sure if he could do what Sora did, and sacrifice himself for them. Maybe.

He's experienced more in Vatheon, and in particular felt more. Falling in love with Axel probably provided him with his biggest confidence boost, despite his rejection. A feeling he never experienced as Sora is proof for him that he does have the capacity to feel, and although he may not be Sora's equal, he may still be whole in his own way. Before, expressing his opinion was always tempered by the thought that he was incomplete as a person, and might not know as well as others even if he'd gone through the same thing. Now, he thinks his opinion is just as legitimate as anyone else's, and maybe he can fully understand the feelings behind other people's. He's started to become more perceptive that way.

Because you are bringing in a character from Vatheon, their entry into the game will play out a bit differently. An entry post for all Vatheon characters will go up on October 26th, and everyone will enter the game at once. Until October 26th rolls around, you are free to play around in the meme comm (theshrine) and participate in discussion in the OOC comm.

Thank you for applying, and enjoy your stay at The Bastion!
