Been gone for a few weeks, so sorry about that.
Anyhow, with the entirety of my RP activity now resting at this site, I'm now more open to bringing back my old-styled fanfictions, except now with newer characters (of course, you can make an application of an old one that I'm more or less willing to accept, as long as s/he isn't going to be obstructing the flow of "slice-of-life" I'll be attempting).
The basic premise of this is going to be something along the lines of running a cafe, and having various regulars come and go, with or without some dialogue. I can add in neighbors, tenants, platonic-only interests, physical-only interests, and maybe people who qualify for both. I'll also be adding relatively minor arcs, not huge developments, but they'll start to reveal the characters more and more.
The real reason I'm doing this is because I saw the incredibly small-fry competition with fanficts (no offense, but I'm willing to compete for top spots!) and an increasing demand for them, so thank you guys (or is it just one? Eh, whatever.) for wanting stuff; I'm willing to provide.
So, here's an app to get started of a character. Follow the app as exactly as it tells you to, and know this : I'm kinda gonna go off away from your usual epic adventure. If you're gonna give me Kurosaki Ichigo, Naruto, or any of that nonsense, I'm more likely than not going to make you very, very, very unsatisfied.
^Just kidding, feel free to give me a cruddy character. Just don't be angry if I add in a few things in the name of creative freedom.

CHARACTER APPLICATION REF SHEET :
Name : (No usernames, unless they sound like names. Just wanna create something more believable).
Rank : (I'd like a minimum on Vanguards, and I expect ranking to correspond with your maturity and personality. More rash people tend to die earlier on in the military, so I shouldn't see a bunch of idiots becoming Vanguard. If you know your character might not be smart, don't be afraid to tuck 'em down to Knight Elite or somewhere where they would PROBABLY be under the scrutiny of an officer. Heck, I'll probably reserve Vanguards to people who have BEAUTIFULLY written their character apps. Just don't mind it too much; I won't be writing a lot of combat segments.)
Appearance : (Describe with words, and no usage of pictures. None. Any pictures in your app = immediate non-acceptance. I want you guys to give me something I can use, and even if pictures say a thousand words, I can only hear a few dozens. If you give me a paragraph, though, I'll hear thousandSSSSS!)
IB Equipment : (For battle. Not costume items. Includes weapons, Sprites, shields, and trinkets on top of armor.)
OOB Equipment : (Costume items. Be creative with this, and design your character in his/her casual clothing with whatever you like. You can even forgo costume items and just wear...casual clothing. Jeans, shirts, ascots, you name it. All clothing in here!)
Personality : (I don't need to explain, but PLEASE be colorful. Tell me their quirks, their strong points, their weak points, their likes, dislikes, EVERYTHING!!!!!!! XD)
Bio : (Nothing epic, please. Otherwise, I'll just make your character be some druggie who overdosed and had a dream of becoming so powerful. I'm writing about daily happenings in a Cafe, so please use some common sense.)
ANOTHER NOTE : It's a Knights-only app opening at the moment, and they're all considered humans, given to how close they are.

SAMPLE APPLICATION :
Name : Vin Huntington
Rank : Champion
Appearance : A rather adorable young adult, at first glance, Vin is what would one call a pretty-boy. His mostly-androgynous face often confuses both male and female alike, and his wheatish skin doesn't help much, sun-tanned as it is. It helps even less that there's an extraordinary lack of facial hair around his lips. He views the world through his pair of steel-blue eyes, almond-shaped, yet not to the point of having cat-like eyes. No, his eye lashes are a bit longer than a cats, as well as most human males...
And then there's also that onyx hair of is. One of the privileges of wearing a hood is foregoing the usual military-cut design prescribed by the Order, and so Vin has grown his coarse hair out a bit. Though a bit mussed, a few combs would fix him right off. Just imagine how girly he might look if he had allowed it to grow out a bit more, though...
He's a bit short by human standards, and stands at a spry 5'5, though his 120 pounds are worth every ounce; he's lean, adorable baking machine.
IB Equipment : Snarby Coat, Barbarous Thorn Shield, Cold Iron Vanquisher, Polaris, Grey Feather Cowl.
OOB Equipment : Back in the days when he used to learn the culinary arts, Vin donned a White Battle Chef coat, but now he usually sports an all-the-more-androgynous pair of black skinny jeans and a baggy white T-shirt, with a map of the previously-unrecorded Unknown Passage stamped onto the back. He has a shadow-themed pocket-watch, and like all Knights, sports the Order's wet-ware module on the wrist of his dominant hand : his left. He also wears a pair of (possibly fake, but he never takes them off) glasses, frosty-themed with a blue tint.
Personality : Vin, to most, garners a somewhat negative reputation by his peers for his recent discharge from active military activities (making him one of the few alien civilians on Cradle), though much of this silent sea of scorns is brought further into silence by the gentle, encouraging nudges from his customers. On a personal level, he's a little eccentric and far from truly intelligent, though he seems to be fine with that. He's not terribly interested in gloating people, and though he favors the classic "goody-two-shoes" types, he hates perfection. That might explain his dirty room, but not his relatively clean kitchen. At his worst, he's an overly critical, condescending old man with extreme contempt for everything in life. But that's only at his worst. Not that it's hard to get him there, but it's not easy to know where to start.
Bio : Classified, since I'll reveal him through the plot instead. If you wish to disclose your character's bio privately, send me a PM to swiftstryker at chooseyourstory.com.
Name: Mezizas Evangelyn Vuul (or Mezizas E. Vuul, get it? Mezizas Evil?) AKA. the Obsidian Queen
Rank: unranked in the spiral order, civillian status is issued
Appearance: Mezizas is a grosteque villainess, with her sloppy jaw and a pair of squintty, foggy eyes. Her skin is deep purple and suprisingly for a 6000 years old, Mezizas maintained her skin rather well, smooth and silky like any other Isoran females at their prime. Mezizas does not wear conventional clothing, instead, her 'explict' parts are covered by a thin layer of obsidian shards. She also molded some of the obsidians into high heeled boots and other accessories to enhance her off putting look. She even fashioned her self with an apocrean crown, bigger than the normal ones, symbolizing her noble status. She is standing at 178 cm (180 cm with heels) and 166kg (89 kg of her body weight are obsidian shards)
Mezizas is bald and she longed for more hairs (*looking at Vin*), sadly, a 6000 years old evil obsidian witch such as her self have no power when it comes to look. She often frown at other younger Isoran women, jealoused at their vitality. To make up for her undesired appearance, Mezizas kept her body in good shape and with some 'light' obsidian covering, she is considered erotic.
IB Equipment: Mezizas does not use coventional weaponery, instead, she use the obsidian shards on her body and shape them into any sort of weapon, from small dagger to a german zweihander, Mezizas has it all.
OOB Equipment: same as her IB equipement, having an obsidian witch in your cafe is already scary enough as it is.
Bio: after been overthrown by the four apocrean acolytes, Mezizas and the rest of the apocrean nobles scattered across the galaxy, Mezizas eventually reached cradle upon stumbling into the harvester. After a brief skirmish, Mezizas was able to subdue the harvester and unintensionally saved a group of knights who were doing the grasping plateau mission. In order to thank her, the spiral order allowed Mezizas to stay at Haven as a 'political asylum seeker'.
Personality: Mezizas is an one woman army, after escaping the four apocrean acolytes, she discarded her other noble associates and travelled across the dimensions. She regarded Isorans as an inferior specie and treated them as such, however, when Ozlo offered her to stay as a mean to study the apocrean culture further, Mezizas changed her mind. Now having a new place called home, Mezizas can begin to re-establish her empire, her firing ambitions and dispeakable arrogance will make the likes of Seerus and Herex look pale in comparison, will you help this evil witch restore monarchy in the land of apocrea or will you destroy Mezizas once and for all to make this universe a better place? At least the apocrean acolytes prefer the latter.
