| 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! | ||

Fran (AU) | Katekyo Hitman Reborn! | Reserved
Player Name: Rose
Preferred Contact Methods: AIM/plurk: kakarikarose
Other Characters: Dave Lalonde, Alhen "Psi" Captor
CHARACTER INFO
Character Name: Fran
Series: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Canon Point: post-anime
History Link: Link.
AU: Due to the fact that I first started playing this Fran before his younger self and past were revealed in canon his childhood isn't the same as his canon counterpart. The AU part of his background is covered in a dream here
Game Import: Fran actually has three games behind him due to first being an import from Kanna to Vox, and then an import from Vox to CoK. I'll explain a little of each in order and how it affected him.
In a world called Kannagara, Gods would bring in people to serve them. A large issues most of the new arrivals had was the tendency of the devices to broadcast their dreams without their consent. Fran was of little exception to this annoyance. Most of his dreams didn't bother him, even if others saw them and found them unsettling, but a few personal things were shown that he wasn't too pleased with at the time. He made many enemies just by being himself, one friend, and one mildly abusive lover. Though none of it had that much of an impact on him in the long run, only a very slight one. The partner he was with (they would never go as far as to call it "dating" despite how awkwardly close they were at times outside the bedroom) he never meant to fall for, but Fran knew he did anyways. When said partner left, Fran knew he only had himself to blame for being hurt over it. He didn't show any of this outwardly, keeping his mask up at all times. The only one he had even dropped it for was said love interest, and that was really just to fuck with him because the other wanted to break that mask more than anything. Wonderful start to a relationship that was doomed to fail. Mostly though, Fran just spent his time trolling people on the network for shits and giggles. And sitting back and watching Mukuro's various bullshit stunts which sometimes involved using illusions to set rabbits on fire and kidnapping certain yellow birds out of spite.
Black Vox Systems was an artificial environment ran by robots who expected the subjects to have sex frequently or face some type of punishment, some of which unique to them. Fran wasn't bothered by the idea of being forced to have sex, he just shrugged it off like he does most things. Only reason he bothered resisting was just out of curiosity of what would happen if he did. Being covered in frogs though? Nope. Getting laid was a must. Just as in Kanna, he spent most of his time trolling people and generally making himself an annoyance. He did manage to make one friend though, which just happened to be Orphaner Dualscar. Probably because when they first met, Dualscar was undergoing his own punishment in the form of being transformed physically and mentally into that of a small child. Though even when he turned back to normal, he was still on good terms with Fran and was even the first to offer casual sex when Fran made it known he felt it was finally necessary.
City of Keys was his most recent destination, though he wasn't there for very long. He met Lyn, a troll he had seen briefly on the network around Vox, when they both tried to pickpocket each other at the same time in the slums. They hit it off immediately, setting up their own little base in the slums and using illusions to protect it. He was mildly put off by Lyn's demand that they should never kill anyone they steal from, but he didn't care enough to argue the point much other than stating that he didn't see any point in the first place. Fran was more of an observer in this game, sticking to Lyn for the most part as he wasn't there long enough to actually make much of an impact on others. Despite himself and knowing it was stupid, he let himself make a friend out of him while they watched each others backs.
Personality: The most obvious thing about Fran is his apathy. No matter what's happening to him or around him, he almost always has the same blank and uncaring look. Hardly anything phases him no matter what's going on. Even as someone's stabbing knives into his back or stabbing him with a trident, he barely even acknowledges it aside from slight complaining and asking them to please stop. Which is another part of his personality actually, he's obviously very self-disciplined. He can control his emotions better than anyone known in his canon. Pain, fear, distress, happiness, depression... None of it is able to break through the cold mask he has made for himself.
His apathetic mask, however, is highly contradictory to the rest of his personality. Fran has been known to be very sarcastic and mocking to anyone and everyone, even his own partners, master and allies. No matter what is said Fran usually has something to say about it or at the very least, some way to make fun of the person. With Belphegor Fran constantly refers to him as a Fallen Prince, knowing that his princely status is the one thing Bel prides the most. He also insults and breaks Bel's knives knowing that it would also get to him. Even his Master who he obviously respects to some degree isn't spared by Fran's nature. The boy comments on Mukuro's habit of always wanting to take credit even for things he didn't do and more often than not makes fun of him for his hairstyle looking like a pineapple. In both cases not even bodily harm gets him to stop his mocking, which of course they both stab him every time he does such. And just like always, he just gives a sarcastic complaint and even throws in some crocodile tears now and then.
Fran is also a highly playful individual. He loves games and pranks more than anything. Once again, total contradiction to his emotionless demeanor. When it comes to his enemies he prefers to play with them more than cause actual physical harm. He's also more known to use his illusions to fake people's deaths in order to run away. As such, he seems oddly fascinated with the blood and gore that comes along with it. Claiming that he has to make sure it looks as real as possible and is always quite pleased with his work; particularly the times when he makes it look like Belphegor died. That's pretty much his main goal to become an illusionist was being able to fool people and mess with them for his own amusement. He's very proud of his skills and makes a complaint when Mukuro tries to claim the glory for himself.
That's another thing about Fran. Even though he's a member of the mafia and the student of a man who wants to destroy the world, he seems to have a bit of a hero complex. Not in the sense that he goes out of his way to help people, but he seems to like the idea of being a hero. It goes as far as him explaining to Belphegor that in order to open his box weapon he had an elaborate hero pose that had to be done but because of the frog hat he's forced to wear he was unable to raise his hands above his head to complete his motions like he wanted to. Though despite all his power, he tends to be rather lazy as well at times. He'd much rather prefer pushing off his workload on someone else if at all possible so he won't have to lift a finger himself.
One other thing about him that's not quite as obvious as the rest is the fact that despite everything, Fran is loyal and mostly obedient. Whenever he's given an order from someone he's working for, he always follows through. Even when Squalo commanded that he had to go out on a search with Belphegor he did little more than give a few complaints and insults before following through anyways. Fran also risked a lot by using his illusions to trick Vindice, the impenetrable prison where the most dangerous criminals to the mafia are held, into releasing his Master. By actually pulling it off and getting Mukuro free, it's said that Fran is one of the only three illusionists in the world powerful enough to be able to pull something like that off.
Powers:
x Illusions: Fran is one of the three most powerful illusionists in the world
x Varia Mist Ring: A strong Mist class ring with the symbol of Varia on it
x Hell Ring: The 666 Hell Ring, the "Unlucky Ring", brings 666 times of misfortune and then one time of fortune.
x Bel Box Weapon: Most useless of his abilities. A Bel-in-the-box that emits a small shield of Mist Flames
x A genius. It's implied at least that he's just as much of a prodigy as Bel, it's just hard to tell with the way he acts.
Other Details: Fran has two bunnies he got from Kannagara that followed him to both Vox and CoK, he has a tendency to hold them in his lap whenever he's thinking. Assuming it would be okay for them to come with him this time as well, just let me know if otherwise.

REVISION...ISH
We don't feel that the small change in Fran's background really constitutes an AU. We would prefer that AUs be a larger change that causes an obvious distinction between the AU and OU version of the character, since it's entirely possible we will get an OU Fran at some point, and this change in his background really doesn't appear to have changed Fran's personality. He seems to have been classified as an OU in his previous games.
But we know that the change in his background IS a change from canon. So we were wondering if you would be willing to simply retcon his background back to canon compliance. He can keep all of the development he's had in his three previous games, of course.
Re: REVISION...ISH
edit; Clarification now that I'm not struggling using my touchscreen phone. In the TYL timeline, there was virtually nothing of Fran's past known. But once the others went back to their own time, everyone in their timeline got the memories of the future that would never happen in their timeline. Which caused Varia and Kokuyo to specifically seek out young Fran much earlier than he would have ran into them naturally. And because of this time paradox, there are things that happen to TYE that never occured with the TYL timeline. Is that a better explanation??
Also, because of the Arcobaleno arc that was in the anime which is where I took Fran from, the manga Arcobaleno arc that had young Fran in it wouldn't happen in the first place.
