app them now, srsly.

[starbolts]

Hello everyone!

As you may know, applications open once again on June 1st. That's in...precisely two weeks! New crew members abound! They don't actually get to play until July, but it's never too early to start thinking about characters you may want to apply for. If you already have your idea, great!

If not, well, sit back and allow us to provide some suggestions.

For this...is...ENABLING NIGHT! ((Offer does not expire at midnight. Enable as long as necessary.))

Use this post to tell us why the canon you love and character you want are so spectacularly fantastic that they deserve another chance. That this ship will wither and die without their vital, life-giving presence. That they are worthy of being picked up and applied for.

How can you accomplish this? However you like! Essays extolling their virtues, your very best pictures of them, your favorite music videos, EXTREME ADVERTISING, and whatever else you have are all welcomed here! Let's make this ~fun~.

Good luck and happy apping! I'll have example comments up very shortly.

well... yeah. You met her, she kinda- is.

Point being she's not actually his mom is she. /runs

whatevrrrrr

MOMO

[carrieswar.livejournal.com]

Cute but badass loli!


One of the synthetic humans mentioned above, MOMO's got a ton more to her, being deeply connected with the story as it progresses. Created by a man who planned to revive his daughter through her, MOMO developed her own consciousness. She shoots bow and arrows, heals and pilots a giant pink mecha.

Have a scene of MOMO being awesome. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuMjP1O2O9w)

CHAOS

[carrieswar.livejournal.com]

Like Jesuses?


THEN APP CHAOS. chaos starts out as this dude who is just traveling with you and is all nice and oh, hey he can somehow touch and defeat the weird aliens. And as the game progresses you find out he's crazy involved not only in the storyline the game mainly takes place in, but the entire crazy past. That past is also religious, which makes his Jesus-stance that much more hilarious and perfect. If someone apps KOS-MOS she totally needs a chaos with her!

Oblig chaos scene! With bonus mecha. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NGQCbUDAHw)

Re: DRACONIANS OH MY

[shynotmeek.livejournal.com]

Kali is shy, but that in no way means she's anything of a pushover. She's likely to hang back and watch and in many ways is Brevo's polar opposite. The watching daughter, the last to commit herself to any action, but no less brave because of it. She is the child that is watching her siblings backs in a fight and knows exactly the actions needed to be taken to come out on top. She loves her siblings and her parents very much and favors distance weapons to up close and personal. She's clever and resourceful and was born with a dream of flying she will never realize.

EVERYONE ELSE :(

[carrieswar.livejournal.com]

The entire cast is amazing I just. WANT MORE OF THEM SO MUCH. Here are some select scenes of the others and why I love them.

The hilarious Elsa crew (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOEcomxoT6w). I would legit app Tony if people would app the other three. Could you imagine the win of having the Elsa crew in this game?!

Shion! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZWnyG15Yic) Because Shion and KOS-MOS are OTP. Also Shion is a scientist so is super smart and awesome.

ALLEN OMG (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEU3a6jNa2g&t=1m7s). The cutest, derpiest and most huggable loser ever. Allen is That Sidekick whose life is pain but you love him so much and then he has AMAZING MOMENTS OF BADASSERY oh God Allen marry me.

Albedo ruining everything and being crazy. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5pFo5hHMzw&t=6m26s) Because psychopaths who behead themselves for funsies because they have regenerative capabilities are fun. Also, battles in-game where you hit him and he actually moans for more. Seriously though Albedo is disturbed for so many reasons and he's actually one of the coolest characters ever.

ZIGGY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKImpZ3jdN4&t=6m47s) because a cool and collected papa bear who will PUNCH YOU WITH A STEEL FIST is always win. Ziggy is a cyborg! Who is MOMO's daddy figure.

Canaan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX5mceXlzas&t=0m48s), because you want to be hot and stoic and also a pilot as well.

Jin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SE7UXQAHg68). DO YOU WANNA BE A SAMURAI who also enjoys tea and books and being full of wisdom? Jin can cut mofoing mecha in half, bro.

Mary & Shelley (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19Apy2I5mZ0&t=4m06s). HOT SISTERS! Who are Jr. and Gaignun's bffs.

Classic Doctor Who

[bonnypiperlad]

Yes, Trans 9 has an awesome New Who cast, and may have even more awesomeness on the horizon coming to you very soon. But way before then, back in the dawn of time, while the Earth's crust was still cooling, there was what has become known as Classic Who.

It was a time when men were men, women somehow managed to be both independent and screamers at the same time (don't ask me how that works, honestly) and Cybermen were at least part Whiffle Ball.


Well, at least for awhile, anyway. But, ladies and gentlemen, today I come to you asking if you would please consider helping expand the Classic Side of the Who cast?

You have not one, not two, but eight Doctors to choose from. Like this Doctor, right here.


And a wide variety of companions, like Ben and Polly.


Or Victoria.


Or even Zoe, seen here on the right.


These are just a few examples of people from Classic Who available for your apping needs. But wait, there's more! Over 40 years of Doctor Who means that there are lots and lots and lots of characters here for you to choose from. Won't you please consider apping one today?



[*All pictured examples provided have been included because a certain kilted someone would be very happy to see them (except the Cybermen), and may reflect a certain bias on the part of the presenter. The views of this post do not necessarily reflect the views of any of the other Who cast but hopefully they will forgive me for trying to get some Classic Who people around.]

DEARKA ELTHMAN IS AWESOME YOU GUYS.

[silverduelist]

Just look at how much Yzak loves him.


Seriously though, Dearka is an awesome pilot who likes GIANT GUNS. He's also hot and sassy and sarcastic but smart and serious and stands a firm ground in what he believes in. For realsies you guys playing Yzak is always fun but having his bff partner and biotch in the game makes for AMAZING THINGS. In both the hilarious and badass categories.

Watch GUNDAM SEED and app him. 8D

Re: DRACONIANS OH MY

[dragonlordbight]

To add to the Dragonlance love, there are that I would love to have around.

These two come mainly from the the books, if any one is interested I've got the e-books for all four:

Crossroads: Clandestine Circle
Linsha Trilogy
-City of the lost
-Flight of the Fallen
-Return of the Exile

-Linsha Majere, Bight's wife, is a highly skilled and tough woman, a descendant of the heroes of the lance and the adopted mother to eight brass dragon wyrmlings.

Needless to say Bight/Crucible misses her greatly.

-Varia, is a companion of Linsha's, an exceptionally talented and wise talking owl.

The Eight:

Eight brass dragon wyrmlings that both Crucible and Linsha adopted after rescuing their eggs from the hands of those who would use them to devious means. As brass wyrmlings most are quite gregatious and curious by their very nature.

They are mainly from the short story "The Eight" From the Dragons of Time anthology.

I'll expand on them when I get home

Ashfall
Fumarole
Smoke
Caldera
Windstone
Firestream
Sulfur
Eight

AGE/BELCROSS & ANEASHA

[dhianeila.livejournal.com]

What's cooler than owning space bugs in an RP? owning space bugs in an RP when the character does it in their own canon, too.


DO NOT LET THE PICTURE FOOL YOU. Age is actually a gigantic hyper derp of a boy. But he knows what he's gotta do and he does it. By turning into that scary kick ass thing in the background. You know you want to do that.


NOW FOR SOME HEALING.


Aneasha is Dhianeila's bff, and has POWERS of HEALING so helps out everyone in canon with that. She's great if that's your character type! She's loyal and brave and strong-minded and honest. App my bff you guys. ;;

Heroic Age is an amazing series and you can watch it HERE. :D (http://dhianeila.livejournal.com/1309.html)

Re: Classic Doctor Who

[makeherblue]

Okay, so Beth made this all badass and shiny looking so I'll just chime in and say +2 on Victoria and Zoe.

Re: GAIGNUN KUKAI / NIGREDO / URTV #669

[zouichi.livejournal.com]

Hahahahaha. The Elsa crew.

...ya moron!

Re: Supernatural

[chosenfamily]

I'm going to +1 all the women. Because there are some really awesome women in SPN (even if a lot of them do end up dead...)

But I'm going to +1 million on Bobby.

Bobby Bobby Bobby Bobby Bobby Bobby Bobby...

You know he needs to meet his namesake. (The boys are so dead for that, I'm sure.)

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Hey! The position of being voiced by Crispin Freeman is TAKEN!

^.^

Dungeons and Dragons

[for-magic.livejournal.com]

Satan's game.

Ben 10 All Seasons

[bears-omnitrix.livejournal.com]

That's right, I'm putting out a tiny not-quite wall of text for Ben 10 characters. Ben and Gwen need someone, like a Kevin. And really, if something like THIS happens in canon...



I mean seriously. What's not to love about this guy? If this is BEN ALONE imagine what the rest of the cast'll do.

Re: Ben 10 All Seasons

[farfrom-tree.livejournal.com]

Adding to this: Show some love for the Cross Time Ben 10 cast, like the original Ben 10,000 and Ken. (http://ben10.wikia.com/wiki/Kenny_Tennyson)

Because really, we need to make Ben flail more.

Kamen Rider

[darknight-rider.livejournal.com]

There's an entire movie celebrating all 40 years of Kamen Rider, so let's go with some more to add to our cast!

First up, Ryuki cast. (http://kamenrider.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Ryuki_Riders) We've only got 1 of our 13 Riders, and we could always use more. Or Yui or Shiro. Seriously, drive Ren nuts.

As incentive, Ren is currently de-aged thanks to the Melting Clock. Can you say "blackmail"?

Re: Kamen Rider

[memory-hax.livejournal.com]

As well as I'm throwing up my own hat for anyone from the latter half of the Heisei Era, such as Shotarous, Terui, Akiko from Double, as well as bringing back people from Decade like Tsukasa!

And lets not forget the wonderful romp that is OOO. We could use an Eiji and Anhk totally.

~*Firefly*~

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

So you're looking for someone to app? Have I got a cast for you!

For any of you who don't know much about Firefly (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrAS20mNZUE), think Cowboys In Space with more Chinese and awesome, and not as many aliens as you're inclined to believe (re: none). We have several characters running around already (Wash, Kaylee, Jayne, and Inara), but there are five more people on the crew, and a long list of wonderful side characters. There are also only fourteen episodes (and a movie, if you're feeling like it), which makes canon review nice and easy! They're also chalk-full of beautiful dialogue (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uMAKtXlXf4).

Serenity Crew Members
~Captain Malcolm Reynolds (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPRlHwwVIug) - Soldier in the war (on the losing side, not to be confused with the wrong side), now Captain of his own ship. Dry sense of humor, very Take Charge.
~Zoe Washburne (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr11K6akTMk) - First Mate of the ship, and Wife to Wash. Fought in the war alongside Mal. Zoe and Mal have a similar sense of humor, though Zoe is much more the Strong Silent Type. She's also just plain Badass Woman.
~Shepherd Derrial Book (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUQ9zsd1nn4) - A missionary who joined up with the crew to experience the world and spread The Word. His background in-series is a mystery, but he knows how to fight and handle weapons... One of the Serenity comic books, "A Shepherd's Tale", gives his background.
~Simon Tam (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JutAnhS0tB0) - Are you medically-inclined? Do you enjoy medical jargon and being smarter (and more awkward) than most people around you? Simon might just be the guy for you! (that, and Kaylee would be most pleased if you apped him~)
~River Tam (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNkcK2toExY&feature=related) - Yes, she's crazy, but she also kicks ass (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVgR11CEEao). 'Nuff said.

There are also a ton and a half of amazing side-characters, and for anyone interested in any of the crew members or the side dudes, I would be more than happy to give you all of the resources you might need. Most episodes can be found on youtube, and there are some on hulu as well. There's also an awesome wikia (http://firefly.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page) that's packed full of information about the time, history, characters, planets, and ships. Good stuff, if I do say so myself :)

[governorkang]

Yes.

[gaignun.livejournal.com]

They are the most amazing.

[gaignun.livejournal.com]

But you're evil overlordy Crispin! This is suave cool mofo Crispin.

'One of the largest game fanbase of all time'

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

Not inspired yet? =D Not a problem, what about a rich and impressive lore that dates thousands and thousands of years. A world full of conflict and mystery? Dragons, Gods, different dimensions, different worlds, shifting realities, advancing technology mixed with magic, this world has such an immense variety of things to work with, that chances are there is something that you might really like!

This is an amazing and rich canon to work OC's from, just like Dungeons and Dragons. And I myself am passionate about it, having a slew of over 40 oc's from this canon alone. OC's of course, don't make up all the awesome that is the Warcraft canon; no no no, the amazing canon heroes in the world are legendary level!

Each faction leader, and heroes of the world of Azeroth, on their own, have intense history behind them but talking about them wouldn't do them justice. They're all too amazing to put into words in their own ways!

Thrall (http://www.wowwiki.com/Thrall), Vol'jin (http://www.wowwiki.com/Vol%27jin), Cairne Bloodhoof (http://www.wowwiki.com/Cairne), Sylvanas Windrunner (http://www.wowwiki.com/Sylvanas_Windrunner), Bolvar Fordragon (http://www.wowwiki.com/Fordragon), Tirion Fordring (http://www.wowwiki.com/Tirion_Fordring), Alexandros Mograine (http://www.wowwiki.com/Alexandros_Mograine), Garona Halforcen(my favorite hero ever in the series ^^) (http://www.wowwiki.com/Garona), Medivh (http://www.wowwiki.com/Medivh), Jaina Proudmoore (http://www.wowwiki.com/Jaina), Lorthemar Theron (http://www.wowwiki.com/Lorthemar), The Biggest Badass of the Entire Warcraft Universe! I mean Varok Saurfang (http://www.wowwiki.com/Varok_Saurfang)

These are just some of the big names in the series, characters loved and inspirational to millions.

Don't like yer standard fantasy races? Think they're played out? Don't worry Azeroth's history is FILLED with multitudes of sentient races for you to choose from;

Kobolds (http://www.wowwiki.com/Kobold), Gnolls (http://www.wowwiki.com/Gnoll), Murlocs (http://www.wowwiki.com/Murloc), Nagas (http://www.wowwiki.com/Naga), Dragonkin (http://www.wowwiki.com/Dragonkin), Nerubians (http://www.wowwiki.com/Nerubian), Tol'vir (http://www.wowwiki.com/Tol%27vir), San'layn (http://www.wowwiki.com/San%27layn), Quillboars (http://www.wowwiki.com/Quillboar), Ethereals (http://www.wowwiki.com/Ethereal) and so many others!

Re: 'One of the largest game fanbase of all time'

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

Aside from having a huge fanbase, a vivid and rich storyline and amazing characters, but before WoW I have to say that the art of Machinima was pretty unheard of, and the quality of good machinima was, well, laughable? But WoW made machinima a respectable and amazing medium to honor your favorite games! Here's a few examples that I love love love!









As you can see, everyone has their own way to tell their stories, some more extreme, some more casual and quiet. Warcraft's world is open enough to allow great possibilities for roleplay, and story writing. Everything has a line of course, but the lore is open enough to allow more creative writing and fun stuff to work with.

Be part of the Horde



or the Alliance



or one of the many races in Azeroth



Whatever you choose, I bet you'll have fun, or hope you have fun, cause that's what we're all here for right? Having a blast while playing with friends! <3
