Player Info
Name: Your name or handle here.
Contact: Discord, plurk, PM, whichever you prefer.
Who invited you: What it says on the tin! Are you on one of the Mod's plurklists or who invited you - let us know here!
Other Characters: If you don't have any other characters in game, feel free to put N/A.
Character Info:
Name: Character name.
Canon: Their canon.
Canon Point: Their canon point.
Age: Character's age.
Background: A link to the character's background is fine! If their wiki is scarce, you can write a summary of canon events leading up to the canon point you selected.
Survivability: We're doing applications a little bit different! Instead of a traditional personality section, we want 2 things about your character that would help them survive in this setting, and 2 things that would make it harder for them to survive. These things can be personality traits, like explaining that your character would survive well here at Collected because they are very resourceful, or that they wouldn't because they don't get along well with strangers. But, they can also be relevant to their canon experiences: perhaps your character comes from a world where living like this is normal, and that helps them survive. Or perhaps they used to live the high life, so it'll be extremely difficult! We are flexible on this section, and would like players to use the section to evaluate how their character will interact with the day-to-day toll of Collected.
For each grouping of two traits, we'd like a minimum of 300 words, and a maximum of 500 words. This means that for this section, the total minimum is 600 words, and the total maximum is 1000 words.

Powers: Any powers they might have!
Inventory: We're allowing characters to arrive into Collected with five items of the player's choice, these items don't have to be on their person at the canon point they are taken from.
Samples:
Two threads adding up to 10 comments total from your character from the past year are just fine! As long as the threads showcase your character's personality sufficiently, network threads are acceptable.

SAMPLE APPLICATION | Misa Amane | Death Note | Unreserved
Name: jamie
Contact:
Who invited you: I'm a Mod! But if I had an invite, I'd say Jamie (
Other Characters: N/A
Character Info:
Name: Misa Amane
Canon: Death Note
Canon Point: Chapter 56, shortly after making the eye deal a second time with Ryuk.
Age: 19
Background: Here!
Survivability:
(+) One thing that will help Misa survive in Collected is that she has great perseverance. Despite her weak physical skills and immature personality, Misa is capable of withstanding great tragedy and traumatic situations, and seldom lets any mental weakness show. She witnessed firsthand the killing of both her parents, has been kidnapped by stalkers with her life threatened, and has been under the direct threat of execution due to suspicions against her for murder. And after all of these horrible situations, she's maintained her bright and cheerful personality. She is someone who can sit with any pain so long as she has something to cling onto. Not just anyone can sit through nearly two months of solitary confinement and come out as bright as she is; Misa is definitely someone who is able to endure, someone who won't yield in the face of tragedy nor torture as long as her life has purpose (that purpose being surviving here so she can get back to Light). That will definitely serve her in her time at Collected when the going gets tough!
(+) Another thing that will help her is that she has a loose sense of morals. Misa does what she wants because she wants to do it - regardless of laws or what other people think. She is capable of murder, forgery, theft, and more if she feels she has to do it. If push comes to shove, she will do what she needs to in order to survive (and get back to Light), even if it means potentially sabotaging or hurting someone else for the sake of resources, keeping her own life, or protecting the lives of those she cares about. While there's no doubt that Misa would prize Light's life over anyone else's, she has a tendency to go to the extreme when it comes to protecting people she loves. Misa has been known to be willing to kill even her own friends in order to be of service to Light, as she threatened to do so to the friend that helped her make her original Kira videos - it's highly likely she wouldn't hesitate to go to an extreme for the people she grows to care about here. In general, she doesn't feel squeamish about needing to kill other beings, and she'll definitely need to do so when monsters and other horrors start attacking. This loose morality will help her adapt more quickly to the difficult and dark decisions she'll have to make here.
(-) Something that's definitely going to hinder her survival here is that she's not used to nitty-gritty. Misa has lived most of her life in relative comfort, and more recently, has had managers at her beck and call to do most things for her. Her biggest worries in life aside from all her Kira work are maintaining her diet and making sure her hair stays perfectly blonde. She doesn't do much physical labor, hates the prospect of breaking a nail, and is a picky eater. Suffice to say, she would have great difficulty facing the fact that she will have to get dirty sometimes here, and that she will not have access to all the products that help her stay looking and feeling beautiful. Additionally, despite her lethal abilities, she's just plain not physically capable of dealing with monsters or being injured - she's a normal person who doesn't do anime super-fights, so she won't cope as well as some others with constantly being in harm's way.
(-) Another thing that's not going to do her any favors is that she needs to maintain her secrets. While in Collected, she will need to work with other characters - that is a simple fact. When it comes to her friendly and bubbly personality, it shouldn't be a problem to get along with others and survive! However, she will simultaneously be under constant pressure to hide her Death Note and identity as a mass serial murderer, lest she get ousted from the community as someone unworthy of trust. She is going to need to lie about her life for a majority of the time, and while she is a great actress, she is also impulsive and not the greatest at covering her tracks. To survive in Collected among the other characters, her need to maintain an "image" of herself to the other characters will take constant work and constant hiding of her true abilities. She'll need to always play the part of a helpless, normal girl if she wants to keep suspicion off of her... which will become a problem if she wants to use her abilities to help her friends.
Powers:
SHINIGAMI EYES
Misa has the eyes of a Shinigami, meaning that she is able to see the names and lifespans of humans (and some non-humans) just by looking at them. However, because lifespans appear just as long lists of numbers and are only decipherable by a Shinigami themself, she cannot understand how much longer anyone has to live. Additionally, she cannot see her own lifespan, nor the lifespans of Shinigami or other Death Note users. While stylistically in the series, her eyes are shown to glimmer when she uses this ability, in reality it is impossible to tell that she is using or even has this ability, as her eyes appear regularly.
In addition to being able to see the names and lifespans of people, her eyesight was also enhanced by the eyes - her sight is 3.6 times the quality that it was before she got them, giving her the visual acuity of about 72/20. This means that her eyesight is unnaturally accurate, and that she is able to see the faces and names of people from quite far distances away. With such accurate eyesight, it's also easy for her to notice small details that someone with regular eyesight may not notice.
Here is a diagram of how much she must see of someone to see their name and lifespan. While she can also see someone's name and lifespan through a photograph or a video, it isn't possible to do so through a drawing of someone alone. Lastly, she cannot see the names or lifespans of people who are already dead, as she will see nothing when she looks at them.
DEATH NOTE
Her only other supernatural ability comes from her Death Note, which essentially is a notebook that is capable of killing anyone who's name is written inside of it. The notebook's powers allow the writer to specify the time and cause of death so long as they are written within a certain amount of time, and of course, as long as the full name of the person is written (while the face of said person is in the writer's mind). There are many rules to the Death Note, which can be found in a more organized form here.
In Collected, because characters cannot actually die, Misa's Death Note can only cause injuries that would, under normal circumstances, be fatal. The only difference is that a character won't actually die from it! This means that if she writes "____ gets beheaded," or "____ gets smushed by a vending machine," that character will still get beheaded or smushed - they'll just need to heal from their "death" experience. Of course, her Death Note will be an opt-in situation, and will only be used on characters whose players agree to it being used.
