| 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! | ||

Other Characters: N/A
CHARACTER INFO
Character Name: Stiles Stilinski (OU)
Series: Teen Wolf
Canon Point: Post Season 2
History Link: Link.
Personality:
It’s easy to look at Stiles Stilinski and see an average teenager, all awkward limbs that don’t know where they want to be half the time, lame jokes, ADHD, and inexplicable big time crushes on the hardest-to-get-for-his-social-status girl in school. And for the most part, anyone saying that would be one hundred percent correct. In a town rapidly getting full of supernatural creatures and creature hunters, Stiles is the only person who’s essentially “normal,” who isn’t trained to use a bow and arrow or to run around in the woods at night to hone his senses, and that’s perfectly fine with him, thanks. Sure, it’d be pretty nice to have super healing and inhuman strength, or even just a better way of defending himself than running and hiding, but because of his sheer humanity, Stiles is able to bring something to the table that no one else can.
Stiles is very brave, constantly running (or in some cases, quite literally diving) into situations where he may always be outmatched, but he's there to watch someone's back in the heat of a fight as best he can. Best of all, he's a smart kid, and since he doesn’t have claws or weapons, his cleverness is his greatest asset. He’s the first person to think outside of the box, to come up with that elusive third option and get things done. The nice side of his Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder and Adderall prescription is that it gives him plenty of energy to spend on researching, trying to find answers for those tough supernatural questions, and wound up being ironically more knowledgeable about werewolves than his newly turned werewolf best friend. And while he might find it hard to concentrate in class (something he's constantly belittled for by peers and teachers alike), he's a gifted reader and tends to keep it all tucked inside his head, setting him up with surprisingly good grades and problem solving ammunition. The only unfortunate(?) side effect of his wit is his particular brand of sarcasm, which he in turn is quick to use as a nice, easy defense mechanism. Has gone pretty well for him so far. Mostly.
Stiles is also smart enough to be see the whole picture and arrange his priorities appropriately. Whereas his friend Scott will forsake friend, safety, and wolflihood (or what Stiles likes to call wolf lessons) so that he can be with his girlfriend, and might (will) complain when it's not possible, Stiles is the guy who puts everything on the back burner if it means the safety of friends and family, if it means finding (if semi-by-accident) the culprit behind the murders all over town, if it means peace of mind for everyone involved. Even if what he’s missing out on might be something important to Stiles, like his first lacrosse game that he’s actually supposed to play and his dad is there for, or finally getting a chance to lend an ear to the girl of his dreams, he’s the one who understands the gravity of the situation at large, will get his priorities straight, and make whatever things need to happen happen, one way or the other.
And he'll do it without (much) complaint, because Stiles is thrilled for the chance to help out a friend, particularly his best friend (and by extension, his best friend’s girlfriend). If there's one word to describe Stiles Stilinski-- besides hyperactive, the first word that ought to come to mind is loyal. His friends may throw him under the bus, ignore his ideas or warnings, or take advantage of his friendly nature completely and he'd grin and bear it all. Stiles genuinely wants to help his friends, whether or not they return the favor, and is on just the right shade of loneliness where he finds it easier to forgive and forget than entertain the idea of losing a friend. Stiles also has a nice habit of going above and beyond to help people – typically only friends, but he has been known to put himself on the line for the sake of someone he’s stated his distaste for, and he may do this once, maybe twice, or maybe so often that really, he needs to stop trying to convince people he dislikes them. Outside of Scott (and later, Scott’s joint pack with Derek), Stiles doesn't really have anyone to fall back on, and the only person he knows he can count on immediately is his own father - which is perfectly fine with him, by the way, he loves his father absolutely, but while they have a very good and honest (mostly, he isn't sure how to breach the werewolf topic to his father yet, and while it’s to protect him, Stiles is nothing if not a liar, guilty as he may feel) relationship, things are occasionally still somewhat strained between the two of them after the death of Stiles' mother.
It’s likely because neither of them are willing to talk about it – to the point where Stiles can tell just how drunk his father is if he brings her up. And it kills Stiles, it absolutely does, but he can’t speak about it either. Not often, just once or twice in passing since Scott became a werewolf. And he's perfectly fine with not dealing with how much it still affects him - he said quite clearly himself that he prefers to ignore a problem until eventually it goes away. In fact, if Stiles can redirect a conversation's focus off of him, he'll absolutely take the chance. And just looking at him, just seeing him in school or around Beacon Hills would lead anyone to believe that he has the angst capability of a banana. It's true most of the time, Stiles is a very classic case of comedic relief, the first to crack a joke in the middle of a tense situation, if only because he literally has no other method of handling them. He's no good with silences, and tends to constantly chatter away about anything and everything if it means keeping himself occupied. That may or may not be extremely annoying to certain people, but they can take it up with his ADHD.
The downside to his energy level is that Stiles is not what anyone would consider patient. At all. In the least. And that’s not just impatience in terms of time management, but with people as well. To his friends, he’ll be the most loyal person in the world, but if someone doesn’t make it onto Stiles’ exclusive list of priorities? Stiles can be downright aggressive, particularly when he’s at his wit’s end, snapping and showing absolutely zero empathy if it doesn’t convenience him. And there are definitely times where he’ll warm up to someone just to get something out of them; he’s a practiced liar, and fairly manipulative, seeming to know exactly what buttons (or police records) to push to get people to do what he wants. He sees the wrong in lying, knows what the consequences may be, but he is firmly of the idea that the end justifies the means. This isn’t to say he would ever just set out to be horrible to someone who, in his mind, doesn’t deserve it; he’s generally pretty friendly, but he has no qualms at all about pushing his morals aside to get what he needs to get done.
Stiles is also an incredibly awkward person. He doesn't always say the right thing - though he'll get there eventually, give him a couple of seconds to defrag his brain. In a word, he's uncoordinated, all broad silly gestures and tripping up over his own two feet. All in all, Stiles is a big old goofball who doesn't mind playing second fiddle to girlfriends and monsters alike, who warms the bench but spends the entire time running ideas through his head as to how to make his friends' lives easier, and will absolutely do anything in his power to be there for them when they need it. While he’s not the most honest – and often not the most sympathetic – person in the world, being a bullshitter himself makes him more than capable of seeing beyond other peoples' bullshit, to see them for who they really can b, if he’s willing to give them a chance to prove it.
He may just be a bench warmer on the lacrosse field, but at the end of the day, when it comes to anything else, Stiles is the best person in the world to have fighting on your side.
Powers: Zippo, nothing, nada. Stiles is painfully human, something he’s entirely too aware of in a world of hunters and monsters.
