| 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. |

Summary:~Something spoilers this way comes.~
Hope's Peak Academy was created to study talent. They invited students from across Japan with assorted skills so they could research this fairly nebulous concept. The Super High School Level Hall Monitor Kiyotaka Ishimaru might have even flourished there if it weren't for the robotic malicious bear who wanted all of the students to kill each other that took over the facility. But we might be getting a bit ahead of ourselves.
You see, once upon a time, Toranosuke Ishimaru, Kiyotaka's grandfather, was the prime minister of Japan. He was a true genius, able to do great feats with little effort. However, this caused him to not exercise the vigilance he needed to. Accusations of corruption saw him ousted from office, and he brought a mountain of debt upon his family.
Ishimaru saw this all happen as he was still very young, and developed a great resentment against the way his grandfather had lived his life. He decided that one should always put all their effort into whatever they do, and what an average person accomplishes means much more than the feats of a genius who didn't try. He pushed himself into his studies, and tried to just ignore how he never could figure out how to make buddies with his peers. (It's because he's overbearing, relentlessly straightlaced, and is unable to understand why fun is important.)
With his strong ethics and love of rules, he joined his school's disciplinary committee, rose to the top, and was eventually chosen by Hope's Peak because of the zeal he put into his position. While he was worried the school would be full of nothing but lazy geniuses, he accepted the invitation.
He woke up trapped in Hope's Peak with 14 other students. The school's apparent headmaster, Monobear, was more than happy to inform them that they would be spending the rest of their lives inside these walls! Unless, of course, one of them graduated by murdering another without the rest of the class managing to figure out. If they were found out, the murderer would be executed, and if they weren't everyone else would be.
In this upsetting situation, Ishimaru quickly tried to claim some leadership but was mostly just seen as overbearing. Still, the breakfast meetings that were set up did at least seem to calm some nerves- only to be shattered again when the first body was found and the first class trial held.
It's after this that the calamity would happen. But if things continued was they would, Ishimaru would get into an argument with the Super High School Level Biker, whom he sees as failing society by not being willing to put in the effort to succeed. They would have a battle of endurance in the sauna to prove who had the greater willpower, and they would talk and come to understand each other. By the end of the night Ishimaru would have his first buddy, and they'd be singing each other's virtues.
And during the next class trial, when the evidence starts to point towards his buddy he'd deny it and argue against it. And when everyone is voting for the culprit, he'd still try to deny it and and vote for himself. And he'd loudly weep as his only buddy was executed in front of him, and then not say anything for days.
And when he'd finally begin to speak again, only due to him deluding himself that his buddy's spirit still lives in him, someone would plot his murder.
But that won't happen because the world is getting destroyed.
Powers: Nothing significant! He's fairly athletic (he practices kendo,) but not nearly to the extent of some of his SHSL peers.
Entry: He could... probably use some help. Someone help him. That or he'll stumble in after far longer than it probably ought to have taken.
Other: His blood is pink and this is normal.
