application post
As of January 2014, formal applications are closed.
APPLICATIONS
Apps are processed roughly once a week (often on Tuesdays or Wednesdays).
Please check the taken list along with the reserves page before applying.
- If you are uncomfortable leaving your personal contact information out in the open, please omit the personal journal and/or contact fields. (We still require a name.)
We take no responsibility for the inability to reach you regarding your application if you choose to omit contact information. Please also note that you will still be required to leave some form of contact (whether it be via PMs or a public post where people may reach you via comments) here upon acceptance. The members contact information post is locked.
- Sponsorships are an IC choice. They are first come, first serve, but characters are granted the ability to read through the sponsorships and choose one they think best suits their personality. If the one the character would choose (the one the mun lists on the application) is turned down, then they're assigned by NPCs. (In that case, your character is free to have an in-game reaction to not being awarded the sponsorship they asked for as it is considered an IC decision.)
If the mun feels like their character would choose a sponsorship that's ill-fitting, then the NPCs will dutifully place the character in one that's right for them--so please let us know if that is ever the case.
- Players must wait one week from their last character's acceptance or drop to be eligible to apply a new character. There is no formal minimum waiting period for resubmission of a rejected application; however, after three rejected applications for a given character, we will not review further applications for that character from the same mun.
- Comments to this post are un-screened. Applications to characters previously dropped and/or rejected will be screened.
- Applications for characters applied prior to January 2012 are public on Livejournal.
- For the 'Entry Position' question, please select whether you wish to have your character enter the game as a cadet, SeeD, instructor or other. If you choose to have your character enter as a SeeD or Instructor, your character will have entered Garden at least a year prior to their game introduction so that their education will not have to be played out and instead will be handwaved; Instructors have an additional trimester after their graduation in which they earn their Instructor's license. In this case, we ask the applicant to include their specialization (including weapon or strand of magic if a weapons or para-magic specialist) and a brief synopsis (a paragraph or so) summarizing the past time in Garden. If 'other' is chosen, please elaborate.
- For those who wish to apply an instructor, you are free to choose which classes you wish for them to teach by choosing a course that does not have a designated instructor on the class list. You may also create a new class which is not already covered on the class list and is not limited to people with particular powers; if so, you will have to supply a twelve week syllabus with your application.
- Instructors are limited to teaching two different courses, and each course will have two instructors; one who teaches the M/W/F classes, and another who teaches the T/Th classes. This is to ensure that should one instructor be sent out on a mission, another will be available to cover those classes.
- In addition to choosing 'instructor' in the entry position question of the application, please include the classes and days you wish for your character to teach as well.
- For samples on your application, you're offered a choice out of four options. You are only required to fulfill two of the four.
- IC Questionnaire
- The questionnaire is considered one of the last steps of IC admittance to the Garden and is part of their "final interview". As such you can assume the questions are being asked face-to-face, and not in a written format.
- Prose sample
- Free choice, or 'Your character really wants (something), but for whatever reason can't get it.', or 'Your character has just had Time Compression and their options explained to them. Show us how they decide whether to enroll at Garden as a Cadet, work for Garden, or go out into the world.'
- Bracket/Commentspam RP sample
- Free choice, or 'Your character has a secret that is rising to the surface.'
- Thread link
- A link to a thread you've done in the past with the character you're applying for. The thread has to be at least ten comments long and appropriately display your character's voice and writing style.
witchesreign does not have application cycles, but we do have an application processing schedule.
- Any currently pending application will be reviewed starting Tuesday or Wednesday and a response will be given over the course of the week.
- Any application submitted on or after 12:00 AM (EST) Saturday will be processed the following week.
- Applicants are free to submit their applications at any time, but are urged to take notice of the possible 7-day wait should they submit an application on a Saturday.
Canon character application
Original/AU character application

Fionna | Adventure Time
Name: Pedro D. Nunez
Journal: N/A
Contact: elpedrososama@gmail.com, elpedrososama on AIM, elpedrososama on plurk. I’m sorta lazy about my screen names as you can tell.
Character Name: (Western order) Fionna
Series: Adventure Time
Gender: Female
Age & Canon Point: I’m still saying fifteen (looks too young to be thirteen) and I’ll place her canon point after a recent adventure where she was saving Fire Prince. I’d be more specific, but the comic is monthly and not finished yet.
Entry position (Cadet, SeeD, Instructor, other): Cadet
Requested Sponsor (if a Cadet): Ideally I would say Carbunckle, but I’m thinking Fionna will gravitate towards Ruby.
History: Link to Fionna on AT Wiki
Garden History: (N/A)
Abilities & Physical Abnormalities: Despite being on the chubby side, Fionna does not think twice when it comes to danger, and nothing seems to really slow her down. Like her male counterpart Fionna is a very durable character, used to roughhousing, getting injured, and jumping into the fray of fighting when she is needed. She has (via comic) some experience in sword fighting, but is mostly all about using her mitts to take on her enemies.
Also, she has a cool sword that also grants her wishes. It’s pretty cool.
Personality: Fionna is a girl that likes to have fun. She’s spontaneous, energetic and assured in her actions, if a little foolhardy when it comes to showing restraint sometimes. She is usually motivated by a sense of righteousness, usually decided on a case by case basis and helped along by her sister Cake. If she could be said to have faults, they mostly lie in the fact that she tends to act before she thinks, preferring swift action to rational thought. That said, if something has to be righted Fionn will give er undivided attention.
Fionna believes in independence, so anyone trying to oppress another will automatically be an enemy in her book. She cares about most creatures big and small, and if she sets out to do something, it will be to the best of her ability even if it might hurt her in the end. If there is anything that is the epitome of her strength, it’s the ability to succeed out of sheer will.
Fionna believes in having fun! Adventures are a thing of life for her, and seeing new thing are what she honestly lives for. She prefers to seize life by the horns, so even being in a completely new place will not bother her too much so long as there are things that engage her.
She is fiercely loyal. She loves her sister Cake, and hates to be left out of things she regularly attends with people she cares about. Fionna is a tomboy through and through, so she really gets into doing things that a normal girl would balk at. She is a carefree girl, and while she has a fundamental belief of right and wrong, she will at times do things that might be a little risky or dangerous just to prove that she can.
It should pretty much go without saying that Fionna is about as far removed from a damsel in distress as you can get.
What are your plans for the character in-game?
Fionna is obviously still young, and there is a lot that she could use to temper herself. Being a cadet would mean that she has to actually be on a team with others, forge new relationships and start to grow. Learning new styles of defending herself would bring her a new sense of responsibilities and inner strength she needs. Most importantly, learning to be a little less rash and a bit more tempered would do wonders for her as a person.
Anything else? If there is a Cake willing to be in the game, Fionna would be totes grateful! Not having the cat around will be Fionna’s first stumbling block. They’re pretty tight.
Complete TWO out of the FOUR options.
i) IC Questionnaire (can be found on the application page)
(As this questionnaire is entirely IC, your character is free to lie.)
What do you prefer to be known as? Fionna or Fi is fine!
How old are you? Uh, about fifteen, I guess.
Do you have any history in combat? Heck yeah! I’ve fought ogres and monsters and demons and witches and a bunch of other evil junk! Mostly with my fists!
If so, have you ever killed? Yeah, probably, but they were all evil, so it had to be done.
i) How do you feel when you get involved in some project that calls for immediate and rapid activity? I’m all about getting things done, as soon as we can!
ii) Do you organize and initiate leisure activities? What, like video games or something? I guess?
iii) What role do you take when working in a group? I don’t really get to do that much, but if I gotta I’m usually the one doing all the heavy lifting or backup!
iv) How talkative are you around other people? I talk plenty! Best way to get to know new people!
v) What three things would you want to have with you on a desert island? State your reasoning. Cake, because she’s my bestie! Then it’ be my backpack, because its where I keep my junk. And that new sword that Gumball made! It grants small wishes!
vi) Is it important to be liked by a wide range of people? If they’re good people, yeah!
vii) When the odds are against you, is it worth taking a chance? Dude, I never say die. That is how I roll.
viii) Do you consider yourself to be an impulsive person? Uh. *looks up word* Y-yeah, definitely! Why just sit around and talking when you could be doing stuff?
ix) Would you agree that planning things ahead takes the fun out of life? It’s not my thing usually, not unless we’re fighting, like, a really strong guy, an even then I’ll just go at him, you know?
x) Do you like surprises? Good ones, yeah! Bad ones, not a whole lot.
xi) Do you sometimes wonder if there is something wrong with you? Uh, what? Why would there be anything wrong with me? Well, besides being the last human in Ooo, anyway.
xii) Do you consider yourself to be smarter than your superiors, and disagree with their decisions? Sometimes, but they’re usually pretty smart and know what they’re doing.
xiii) Lastly, how do you feel about cabbages? Cabbages? I dunno, they’re a vegetable, they’re ok I guess?

QUESTION
Re: QUESTION
The start of the show has Finn at twelve, but as the show is going on, Finn is aged up appropriately. Fionna's first appeareance is season three, where she is 14. If we were technically going by season she would be 16, as we are on season five, but I preferred to only age her up one year since there's no assurance of how much time passed.
ACCEPTED
Welcome to
"Hello Ms. Fionna,
Welcome to Balamb Garden! We have no doubts that you may be wondering how you have arrived here. Unfortunately you have been transported to our world via Time Compression by the work of a powerful Sorceress, and at the moment our scientists are working to find a way to reverse the effects. In the meantime, we have decided to open the doors to our academy for these displaced individuals to provide room and board. With the aid of sponsorships, you will be enrolled within our academy as a cadet to train and have a chance to become a part of SeeD, our elite mercenary force. We apologize for the delay in your enrollment; with a recent influx of people displaced only temporarily, we had decided to wait a few days before enrolling new cadets in the hopes of preventing unnecessary paperwork for people unlikely to remain in our world.
With this letter we have attached a course catalog to aid with your enrollment. Please select the classes you wish to partake in this trimester and return it to the Dean of Academics in a timely manner.
Also, a note of caution -- while we understand that off-worlders may wield unusual powers foreign to our people, we ask that you please exercise extreme caution with your skills outside of the school walls. The natives are still adjusting to the idea of cross-dimensional foreigners, and may find the addition of unnatural powers to be potentially worrisome. Thank you for understanding.
Good day to you, and if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact myself or a SeeD.
Sincerely,
Headmaster Cid"
