| RULES AND REGULATIONS Check the taken characters and the reserve page to ensure that your character isn't already taken. We do accept nearly every type of character, including canon, minor, AU, game imports, OCs, fandom OCs, and so forth. There is one canon and one AU version of each character allowed. Especially minor characters may be evaluated as fandom OCs, but are appable under that distinction. Please remove the sections of the application that do not pertain to your character. You can play up to five characters at one time. Two of those characters can be from the same canon. You may bring in two characters per calendar month, discounting rejections. If you wish to apply for a sixth character overall or a third canonmate, contact us individually. App challenge policy is as follows: we will wait the length of the reserve for the original reserver to apply, and judge their application first, independently and not comparatively. Only if they are rejected will the challenger be assessed. Without a reserve, apps will be assessed in the order they are received-- again not against each other, but each one at a time. We would prefer if you do not delete your comments upon rejection or acceptance. Simply ask us and we will screen the entire thread on request for privacy, no explanation necessary. Applications are checked daily, and assigned to a mod who is best able to assess the application, either because of available time or because they know the fandom best. When necessary, the mods will discuss your application before coming to a decision. Please be patient and allow us time to check and discuss. Some apps will be approved almost immediately, while others may take a little longer. It's not because we don't care, but because we may be having trouble finding someone familiar with your canon, or simply that we're unexpectedly busy. If you have any questions about the application process, feel free to contact the moderators directly or ask in the FAQ for clarification. EXPLAINING THE FORM PLAYER INFO Player Name: Preferred Contact Methods: If you would prefer these are kept private, let us know in your application and we will immediately screen your initial comment. Other Characters: CHARACTER INFO Character Name: Include (AU) if applicable. Series: Canon Point: If you are applying for the OU version of your character, please give a quick explanation of what point in canon your character will be coming from. History Link: Please link to a canon source even if your character is an AU! Include a written history only if there isn’t a convenient wiki or other site that gives a good explanation of the canon. AU/OC History: If you are applying for an AU version of the character, or an original character, please give a comprehensive description of what your AU or original universe are about and (in the case of an AU) what the differences are between the canon history and your AU. You should include something about what has happened recently before the character comes to the Lost Realm. Game Import: If your character is being imported from another game, please identify the game and indicate what changes your character will display as a result of development in the game. It’s suggested that you include an overview of major events that have happened to them, and significant CR that they’ve made, but this doesn’t need to be terribly long. Personality: We have no word count requirement on this, but it should be the bulk of your application. Powers: This is mandatory for all characters, but does not need to be extensive. A list or bullet point would be fine. Other Details: Anything else you think we should know. SAMPLES Please give at least one sample of the character you’re playing. These can be musebox or game threads, or can be written fresh for this application. If you are doing a game import, you should include a recent thread from the game. Your application samples should give a representative example of how you’ll be playing the character in this game. We prefer thread links, but will not penalize anyone for providing more standard written samples instead; if we feel we need more material to judge from, we'll ask. Any Concerns: Anything you need to ask us? Let us know! | ||

Kanaya Maryam | Homestuck | Reserved
Player Name: Moo
Preferred Contact Methods: mooberry @ Plurk
Other Characters: N/A
CHARACTER INFO
Character Name: Kanaya Maryam
Series: Homestuck
Canon Point: Act 6 Act 3; directly after the large dream bubble meeting.
History Link: Link.
Personality:If we were to label each Homestuck troll with a stereotype, Kanaya would be the Token Goth. Where other trolls stay up at night, she can withstand --and actually enjoys-- being in the harsh Alternian sun. She's fascinated with the morbid and the macabre, in particular with tales of rainbow drinkers; the troll version of vampires. This is such a powerful obsession for Kanaya that one of her actions after the death of her beloved lusus is to try a taste of the monster's blood. That isn't to say she has a dark and gritty personality, though. Despite these dark interests, she also has some very bright ones to match-- which most trolls also happen to not have. She has an upbeat sense of humor, often having silly, meaningless conversations with her friends, is generally polite, and has a range of unusually pleasant hobbies. She loves flowers and gardening for example, and is a fan of fashion. Where most trolls live in dark hives, Kanaya was raised in the middle of nowhere, her own home bright and colorful. Had her world not been doomed to destruction, she probably would have been content to live out her entire life that way.
But Kanaya knew for quite a while that her world and her race were doomed, being one of the few trolls who's dream self had been awake for some time and seeing glimpses of the future. On top of that, she came across Rose's unfinished game guide, not realizing that it was written by someone who's universe she herself would help to create. It was just another little thing Kanaya became fixated with. In fact, getting fixated with things is something Kanaya seems to have a knack for. She's commonly referred to as a meddler and a fussyfangs by her moirail, Vriska -- at the very least -- and has a reputation for being the "village twwo wwheel device" when it comes to mediating in others' relationships. Kanaya just can't keep her nose out of her friends' problems, and tries to help whenever possible. Because of her mature and level-headed nature, and her abundance of patience, she's rather good at it.
Yet when it comes to feelings, she has plenty of her own to deal with. Kanaya tends to find herself romantically interested in girls who are either blind to or unable to return her feelings. She will try to deny even having those kinds of feelings to begin with, even if they're obvious to everyone around her. This attitude of denial and passiveness leads her to getting her heart broken at least once, which allows us to see another side of her; the stubborn side that isn't able to easily let go of a grudge. Once crossed, she's prone to stay that way for some time, usually trying to avoid and ignore the object of her ire. But that's not to say she shies away from violence. She's actually quite capable of committing it without hesitation if it seems like a fitting response for the situation. She doesn't appear to feel guilty or insecure about these choices, either. When her lusus dies, she has a moment of mourning and then cuts the creature open to keep her promise to it without a hint of disgust. She also never seemed particularly bothered about the fate of most of her race, and so far has not expressed a hint of remorse for killing Eridan (he killed her first!). And after an entire year, she still holds a grudge against Gamzee, wishing to do more than give him an epic kick to the crotch. She also doesn't blink when faced with the task of sawing a friend in half, nor does she seem to mind stealing blood from friends, both alive and dead, after coming back to life as a rainbow drinker.
It takes quite a lot for Kanaya to get to a point where she openly shows her anger or sadness, though. Most of the time she's calm, collected, articulate, displays a silly and dorky sense of humor about things, and gives the impression that she's just a tad classy. The kind of friend in the group who tends to be a little on the weird, silly side, but who you go to when you want the most logical advice.
Other Details: Blood is delicious!
