| 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! | ||

For one thing? Mitsuru Asahina? Time traveler. Kyonko has no idea what to think when he tells her in person until a future version of him shows up and leaves her a mysterious clue to remember. He also shows off a mole on his chest that would later prove important due to the number of time loops Kyonko would inevitably find herself stuck in.
Yuuki Nagato? Alien. Kyonko initially thinks he's crazy when he tells her he's a lifeform made of data sent by the Data Overmind to observe Haruki Suzumiya. Then the Class President, Ryou Asakura, who is another Interface for the Overmind tries to kill her in hopes of Haruki reacting when he finds out she's dead. Yuuki saves her, thankfully, and it's kind of hard to ignore the evidence at this point even if she's understandably freaked out. Ryou's data is deleted during this incident and everyone thinks he suddenly had to move to Canada. Everyone but Haruki who decided to investigate.
And Itsuko Koizumi? Esper. After the other two made their initial approach to Kyonko she decided to confront Itsuko who told her she was an esper, part of an Organization of them, in fact, meant to keep Haruki in check. Kyonko didn't believe her either at first, but when Haruki opened up to her after trying to look into Ryou's move with no real leads, Itsuko picked Kyonko up at her front door and demonstrated her powers.
The truth of the situation is this: somehow, some way, Haruki is able to manipulate the world around him at a whim. He has no idea he does this and all factions involved in watching him want to keep it this way. There is every chance he could destroy the world and ample evidence to suggest he did this before. Three years prior to entering high school to be precise. The time travelers cannot travel back further than that, the espers awoke with the knowledge of what they need to do in their heads after that, and the Data Overmind noted a huge flow of data from Earth. When upset Haruki can create pocket dimensions referred to as Closed Space filled with physics defying energy creatures called Shinjin that proceed to destroy everything and make it grow. If the world is covered by Closed Space then there's a very good chance it'll end and be remade into something more of Haruki's liking. The espers can sense Haruki's moods and when it dips enough that Closed Space is created. They can then locate and enter the Closed Space and are then granted abilities to destroy the Shinjin and destroy the Closed Space itself.
Despite knowing this, Haruki somehow still gets restless and bored, not helped by him getting jealous of Kyonko being protective of, defending, and obviously being attracted to Mitsuru. He ultimately tries to unconsciously end the world and take Kyonko with him. The pair wind up in Closed Space in North High, surrounded by Shinjin smashing everything to the ground and the espers unable to properly enter. Itsuko needs the help of her fellow espers to only enter as a phantom of herself that is slowly fading away as she gets locked out and sends messages from her friends: Mitsuru apologizes and says the whole thing is his fault. Yuuki asks her to check the computer, which has a clue about what to do on it.
Unlike Kyonko who was scared, worried, and freaking out, he's actually excited about the destruction around him. It takes the two of them running from the Shinjin smashing up the school, Kyonko expressing a desire to return to the original world, and then making an epic speech before yanking him down by the tie and kissing him to convince him. Haruki thinks he just had a weird dream. Everyone else is left unsure as to if he changed the world once again or not with no hard evidence either way and no way to get said hard evidence.
Now convinced of Haruki's abilities and the dangers they're in, Kyonko winds up in the center of a lot of his unknowing antics. These ranged from a baseball game, a student film she needs to convince him isn't how reality works by making him read out loud a disclaimer at the end of the film before the world changes forever, and a myriad of timeloops the older Mitsuru has to help her complete to keep did try to explain the situation to him, but Haruki dismissed it as a sick prank she was playing on him.
During one of the stable timeloops she winds up caught up in Kyonko discovers she, under the pseudonym of Jenn Smith, is the reason Haruki decided to go to North High. One of the things Haruki had been notorious for in middle school was writing a weird Nazca-style symbol with the tool to draw chalk lines on a baseball field with. Turns out Mitsuru had taken Kyonko back in time to Tanabata three years prior, passed out, and from there Kyonko was guided by Mitsuru's future self. Kyonko was then directed to go to East Middle School where she ran into a younger Haruki, who proceeded to boss her around and goad her into doing the drawing for him. Turns out the drawing was to contact Hikiboshi and Orihime, the two stars representing the gods who grant wishes at Tanabata and due to it being the middle of the night, Haruki never got a clear look at her face and Kyonko gave him the name "Jenn Smith" when he asked for it. Apparently this prompted Haruki to go to North High, believing other people like "Jenn" would be there, if not to meet "Jenn" herself again. Mitsuru wakes up after Haruki leaves and they both get home via the Yuuki of that time period freezing the timespace around them in a small room for three years. For them only a second passed.
There was also a Groundhog Day style of timeloop that involved the last week of August, before school started back up. Haruki wanted the best end of summer ever and, damn it, he was going to try. Yet by the end of the week he was always left unsatisfied and the week would repeat 14859 times. Less than in canon, true, but it was a stroke of luck that after hunting cicadas, going to a bon festival, having a summer job, and everything else, that Kyonko hit upon finishing her homework as a group. Kyonko is a lazy-butt. Of course she hadn't bothered with her summer homework. Turns out what Haruki had been missing was a true end-of-summer event that left them all feeling accomplished and ready for the new school year.
At least this is how I interpret it.These two incidents in particular to provide context for the next incident. Shortly before Christmas Kyonko wakes up to find the world has changed: Asakura sits behind her in class and is apparently human, Yuuki and Mitsuru are normal people, and Haruki and Itsuko might not exist, Kyouyen is now apparently a co-ed school, and the SOS Brigade never happened. Kyonko is frantic and freaks out during this. Sure, she has her family, but the world just isn't right and she just about tears apart the classroom looking for Haruki since, for all she knew, the world had ended and been remade with no warning whatsoever. This naturally causes an uproar but people assume it's stress and the flu going around that are getting to her.
The next day she manages to find a clue left by the Yuuki of the original timeline to find the "key" and execute the program to return things to as they should be. This involves finding Haruki and one of her classmates, Taniguchi, who had been out sick, comes in and points out that, yeah, Haruki exists. He just went to Kyouyen instead of North High after it went co-ed a couple years ago. Sure enough, Haruki is there and Itsuko is one of her closest friends there. By using the pseudonym of "Jenn Smith" Kyonko manages to convince him to get this version of the Brigade together, something easily done considering Haruki's personality. They all gather into the Literature Club's room and a message from Yuuki pops up on the screen, giving Kyonko the choice to keep things as they are or to return them to how they were.

Naturally, Kyonko wants the old world back and does so, by going to three years in the past and stopping the person responsible for the change in the first place before it occurs. The person responsible? Yuuki. Who has a Data Interface's equivalent of a nervous breakdown. Yuuki had lived through every single timeloop during the summer, unable to do anything but observe due to his programming, even to point out the timeloop until someone else noticed. Like any sane person would this got aggravating but Yuuki had no out and the more time went on the more aggravated he got. He wanted the sort of world Kyonko claimed to want and decided to change things while giving Kyonko the final say on if the world should remain changed or go back to how it was.
With the future version of Mitsuru's aid, she goes to the Yuuki of Tanabata three years ago and gets a gun that will help her. They then travel to December 17th of the same year and Kyonko attempts to stop the Yuuki of that time from changing the world. She's met by resistance from the Asakura of that time, who proceeds to stab her in the back, literally. As Kyonko lays dying on the ground another version of herself from the future comes in, assures her that everything will be fine, then Kyonko promptly passes out from blood loss.
Kyonko awakens in a hospital room in her proper time and world. According to how the people of this world remember it, she had fallen down the stairs and been comatose for the last three days. Everyone was worried sick that she wouldn't wake up again with Haruki even sleeping by her bedside for the duration.
After this the only notable thing of significance aside from going home and spending Christmas with her family, is Yuuki coming to visit her hospital room. Apparently he was to be punished by his superiors and, through Nagato, Kyonko made a threat to the Data Overmind: if they ever harm Yuuki she would tell Haruki she's Jenn Smith, giving him undeniable proof what he sought for existed, and make him remake the world so that the Data Overmind wouldn't exist. Her decision of which world she'd prefer in mind and Yuuki safe, she got released from the hospital, had a nice Christmas--and then she winds up in Darstone.
Personality: Kyonko's a normal girl with normal interests and a normal intellect--at least, academically. She really is very intelligent as shown by her observation skills as per her canon counterpart and her wide range of knowledge from reading so much growing up. She just has trouble being motivated when it comes to school. She is more motivated than her canon counterpart, thanks to her failure to get into Kyouyen and overall she comes off as a nice and easygoing girl, if somewhat introverted. Despite how sarcastic she is in her head, she has a pretty easy time talking to and getting along with people. It's that whole 'motivation' thing she's lacking. The girl doesn't know what she wants to do with herself aside from enjoy a peaceful normal life and to become an average Japanese salarywoman. She's rather cynical about how life and people work that way and holds no delusions about how the world works, even if she desperately wishes it wasn't that way.
Despite her cynicism, Kyonko loves how crazy life has gotten for her. Sure, she can't be bothered to think about the future too much, but with how things are now filled with aliens, time travelers, and espers? It's exactly what she spent most of her childhood looking for that she had given up on by the time high school started. Sure, it's not all it's cracked up to be with how often the world comes close to ending, but she wouldn't change a thing about it and has even gone so far as to potentially end another world to keep it. Kyonko often wishes Haruki could get a grasp of the situation and take responsibility for his antics but she knows he doesn't really want the world to end.
For the most part she's a go with the flow sort of person. A bit self-centered, but what teenager at that age isn't? Kyonko will snark and complain about things but in the end she's the one who will be there on time, pick up the check, and do the heavy lifting without complaint. Compared to her canon counterpart she's more willing to speak up about things out loud, but in the end she does tend to wind up falling in line to help out. Someone in the canon once described Kyon as "the kind of nice guy who would willingly walk off a cliff if someone asked nicely enough." Kyonko's the same way and that's how she wound up in the situation she's in right now when she could've walked away long ago.
It's also what leads her to feel incredibly guilty about the events of Disappearance. Kyonko has and will continue to have nightmares since she essentially rewrote the world for her own purposes and is using Haruki as a pawn to keep Yuuki safe. Before that she would have given anything for Haruki to believe her when she tried to tell him the truth about the situation. She doesn't tend to make a lot of close friends, but when she does? She goes the distance for the people she cares about, as proven by her willingness to blackmail an alien existence on the eldritch scale for one of her friends. She was even willing to punch out Haruki for his treatment of Mitsuru when it went one step too far and had to be held back by Itsuko to keep from doing it. Under normal circumstances she wouldn't raise a fist at another person, but when Haruki was outright hitting Mitsuru to get a contact to pop out of his head when they were making a student film? She snapped, big time. She also felt guilty about it, as Haruki is her friend as well and she went insane looking for him when she realized the world had changed during the events of Disappearance.
She is a teenage girl, though. This cannot be stressed enough. She worries about what other people will think, hence most of her complaints about Haruki's antics, and she likes to check out boys even if she's not too vocal about it outside her own head. Kyonko has a tendency to be a space case and live in her own head, believing the world should be a certain way. However, when she's shown it's not how she likes it, despite an initial freakout, she has a surprisingly easy time accepting things. When faced with overwhelming evidence it's hard not to roll with the punches.
In comparison to her canon counterpart, Kyonko worries more about what people think and has slightly lower self esteem due to the difference in pressures on her and treatment. Her parents are more overprotective of her and while she does have plenty of freedom, she's not allowed to date--a fact her father makes embarrassingly clear to the Brigade when they want to go on an overnight trip to an island over the summer--and a curfew she hates having put on her. Her failure to pass the Kyouyen entrance exam also weighs on her mind and makes her believe she isn't as smart as she thought which can lead to some second guessing when the pressure is on. Her parents were fine with her not passing, but there's nothing quite like the pressure you can put on yourself. So while she lacks motivation she does try a little harder than her canon counterpart when it comes to school. It doesn't make much of a difference since she just isn't the type to do well in a normal classroom environment. Unlike most girls, however, she isn't that self conscious about her appearance, unless someone starts making comments. Then she'll tend to obsess for a couple days before letting it go.
