FOURTH WALL CHARACTER APPLICATIONS - CLOSED



Since the circumstances are somewhat different to simply putting someone on a test drive, the application form linked to this event is different too. Rather than focusing on personality and background information, we are going to focus on play style and in-character behaviour.

If you wish to apply for a character that you are playing in the fourth wall, please fill in the below application and post it ON THIS POST. The subject line should contain your character name and canon.


PLAYER
Name:
Age: If you would prefer not to be specific, just let us know that you're over 18!

CHARACTER
Name: First, Last (Western order)
Canon: Name only.
Age: Real / Apparent, if applicable.
Timeline: At which point of the canon were they taken from?
Appearance/Chosen PB: Only applicable for original characters.
Items with character at canon point: Tell us what your character has with them at the point you have pulled them from - this includes any animal companions.
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: This is only to be used if are already playing another character from the canon you are applying for. For example, if you are apping Mario and you already play Princess Peach in the game, how will you handle their interactions without playercesting? Depending on your answer, you may be refused the character you are apping for.

Personality: You may link this. If there is no wiki available or the wiki is not very detailed, you may supplement it or supply a bulleted list of positive/negative traits with brief examples or connections to canon events (ie - Brave [canon event which shows bravery].

Background: You may link this. If there is no wiki available or the wiki is not very detailed, please give us a brief overview of your characters background.

World Information: Only applicable to original characters. Tell us about your characters world and their place in it. There is a two paragraph minimum for this, as there is no other way for us to find out about your OC's origins.

Abilities: This can be linked or given in a bulleted list.

Samples: OPTION A: We require links to at least three threads which took place during the event, to a length of at least FIVE of your comments each. These can be in any format, style or tense, but must show us that you have a good grasp of your character.
OPTION B: TWO samples, both of which take place within the game setting. These must show us that you have a good grasp of your character's behaviours and internal thought processes.


We will be accepting fourth wall character applications until Sunday, March 20th. After this, you will be required to fill in the expanded form.

MOD QUESTION: Is there any part of this form that you would like to see/think we should incorporate into our regular form? We are listening <3

CHARACTER
Name: First, Last (Western order) Turukáno "Turgon" Nolofinwion
Canon: Tolkien
Age: jussssssst under 20,000 years old
Timeline: The Building of Gondolin, somewhere between Year 126-151 of the First Age of the World.

Items with character at canon point: A longsword, a mithril circlet, a stonemasons hammer and chisel
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: Fortunately Turgon absolutely despises Maglor, and Maglor knows this, so they will avoid each other nicely. Erestor does have reason to meet Turgon, but he doesn't know him, nor have much to do with him beyond the fact that he's Ecthelion & Glorfindel's king.

CHARACTER
Name: Frisk
Canon: Undertale
Age: 8
Timeline: Post True Pascifist ending

Appearance/Chosen PB: (See icons)
Items with character at canon point: A worn knife, a piece of butterscotch-cinnamon pie, a cell phone (with texting!), a heart pendant, temmie armor, and two cinnamon buns from Snowdin
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A

Personality:

Coming from a True Pacifist timeline, Frisk is a very kind child. He doesn't like to fight, he tries not to fight at all cost, even when it ends up with him being hurt or dying (and that's happened at least eleven times for this Frisk.) This makes it obvious that Frisk is fairly selfless as well, putting the needs of those around him before himself. Especially since he finds out only at the end of his journey that leaving requires a monsters SOUL as well as his own, and the ACT options have Frisk telling Asgore that he doesn't want to fight or that Asgore has killed him before.

In fact Frisk went so far as to even try helping all the monsters he met, encouraging Shyren or telling Papyrus that his spaghetti was good, complimenting Froggit, etc. He even spent a good deal of his gold he earned in the Underground to send Temmie to college. (Or 'cool leg,' as Temmie called it.)

Frisk also does what he's told when the situation calls for it. At one point, Sans tells Frisk to hide behind a conveniently shaped lamp and the child does so. This, of course, was very early in his journey to return home, and he'd been told about what dangers he might face.

He's forgiving as well. Following the final fight against Asriel, Frisk comforts him with a hug. And during the fight, after saving all his friends, Frisk realized that there was someone else that needed saving and tried to save Asriel as well who, in turn, destroyed the barrier afterwards. This is important because, at the start of the game, Asriel was a soulless flower called Flowey and the first person Frisk met in the Underground. The first person he met and his first act was to attempt to kill Frisk.

Frisk is also incredibly accepting. He doesn't judge the monsters, he doesn't attempt to kill them and, in fact, he accepts one of them (Toriel) as his parental figure. This is something easily done, in fact. At the start of the game, it's made clear that those who climb Mount Ebott never return and Frisk made this climb, which meant he had no reason to return. And when he made it to the Surface with the monsters, he accepted the request to be their ambassador and also told Toriel he wanted to remain with her.

Background: The True Pacifist

World Information: N/A

Abilities:

SAVE/LOAD/RESET and Determination

Determination: This is the ability that allows a SOUL to persist after death. Frisk, with how much Determination he has, is capable of SAVING, LOADING, and RESETTING, but it seems that only one person in the Underground at any given time can have that capability as Flowey lost it when Frisk arrived. Which means Frisk has the most Determination of anyone. ("I can't SAVE anymore. Apparently YOUR desires for this world override MINE.")

SAVE: This allows Frisk to come back to a given point if something goes wrong. However, there are people who retain a small amount of knowledge regarding what happened. Frisk retains the most but other people will remark one things be familiar. It also allows Frisk to heal without the use of items.

LOAD: The ability to start from where he last used a SAVE point.

RESET: This ability allows Frisk to reset everything and go back to the start but a certain level of knowledge is retains. He remembers things like Sans' whoopee cushion in the hand gag or Toriel remarks on Frisk looking at her like a ghost or how talking with him feels like talking with an old friend.

TRUE RESET: An ability very rarely accessed, similar to a reset but all knowledge regarding the previous timeline are wiped from everyone's minds. Including Frisk's.

Timeline: Third Age: 2510, around when Celebrían Sailed West.

If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: Maedhros has many reasons to avoid Celeborn, and Celeborn would not seek him out in turn.

  • Immortality- In terms of not dying of old age. Celeborn can still be killed or chose to die.

  • He is quick to heal.

  • He has enhanced senses, strength, speed, and stamina.

  • He has near-perfect memory/recall.

  • Music- He can 'hear' the Music and can sing himself to some degree.

  • Meditate vs Sleep- While Celeborn does not generally require sleep, merely the resting of the body while the mind continues working, he can when he wishes or is too injured or sick of mind or heart.

  • Swordsman- Celeborn is a fair swordsman.

  • Ambidextrous- Celeborn is capable of using either hand, though he prefers his right.

  • Highly intelligent and wise.

  • Skilled tactician and leader.

  • He can speak to/understand beasts, rocks, trees- Only in terms of emotions and impressions, outside of sentient beings like the Ents.
