A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.

In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.

CHARACTER
Name: Morgan
Canon: Fire Emblem: Awakening
Age: 18 (Apparent.)
Timeline: It's unclear from what universe Morgan was torn and brought to the canon timeline of Awakening due to the mysterious case of amnesia, but in this case, she's from a timeline where the Avatar marries Anna the Merchant and begets her.

Personality: Among the company of children in Fire Emblem: Awakening, the Female Morgan is second only to her alternate Male self (if the Avatar was female) in her optimism and blithe attitude. Tending to find positives in experiences and making light of situations, Morgan is a playful and silly character in her support conversations with her parents and her friends. She's often found playing pranks on them, such as her repeated attempts to outwit the Avatar with tricks and puzzles, and often making odd, whimsical decisions, such as banging her head repeatedly against wooden planks in order to jog her memories of her relations. Despite this, she remains sharp as a tack with a wit clever enough to match that of her father's. Morgan also inherits frugal and rather materialistic attitude in some senses from her merchant mother, though she can barely remember her.

As a sister, Morgan is a genuinely diligent and caring sister, though still playful and somewhat sardonic. In this case, however, Morgan doesn't have a sibling-- at least, not one that she remembers. With her friends, Morgan tends to have more of a sadistic sense of humor, poking fun and making jabs at them from time to time, as evidenced in her support conversations with Inigo and Owain, for example, where she has the boys run absurd tasks just to see them struggle with them in some way. She's not the most sensitive person, nor does she spend much time offering help to others; rather taking pleasure in being a bit of a jokester, though her teasing may occasionally go too far, such as when she pulls on Yarne's ears just to hear him squeal.

What can be said for sure about Morgan is her enormous sense of self-motivation. Less magnanimous than her male counterpart, though no less cheery and energetic, she channels her energy into propelling herself ahead toward her goal of becoming a legendary tactician like her father, skilled and powerful. In such a way she exerts a more aggressive presence than her male counterpart, likely attempting to model herself after her father and the admirable traits she finds in him. In any case, she does carry the lineage of Grima in her bloodline, and given the right influences, Morgan is liable to fall into line with the promises of power and control that her blood would afford her should she bear the cultist's task of resurrecting the Fell Dragon Grima.

Background: Aside from the identity of her parents, Morgan's history is steeped in mystery by design of the game, and much is left ambiguous about her family life or the timeline she came from. As much history as is accessible for reading is located on her wiki at http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Morgan_(Awakening) .

Abilities: Morgan's initial skills show considerable aptitude in both swords and spells, quick with her hands to cast and strong and graceful in her swings, though her potential for growth as she studies and experiences more and more are limitless, blessed with an ever-expanding mind and palette for knowledge. She's a sharp and clever strategist, and knows her way around a marketplace to compete with the best when push comes to shove.

Network/Actionspam Sample:

[Morgan's golden eyes flicker between her sword and the expanse before her, where she could see a horizon.]

This place isn't so bad.

[Her own verbal reassurance coupled with the weight of the steel in her palm fills Morgan's cheeks with a bit of warmth in this dull late winter chill. It's starting to warm up, again. At least the weather makes sense. As she shifts in her stance and begins to walk again, she feels a jostle on her back as a hard wooden pole of white ash curled with a mystic lattice at one end bumps against the back of her head as she moves.]

E-eh. What the hell is-- Oh! Right... a staff, I have one of those! Hah.

[Despite the disconcerting feeling of not remembering where she is and what she was doing before she woke up, the girl breathes out steadily and closes her eyes to take in the dewy morning air. It's crisp, just the right temperature for her cloak and scarf to keep her warm.]

Mmm...it feels like a good day. I just know it. Heh-- this wouldn't be the first time I lost dad wandering away somewhere. I'll find him soon. You've got a way of leaving defeated enemies in your wake, anyway, dad. You're kind of hard to miss, even if you're the best there is. Maybe even because you're the best there is.

[She lets out a quiet chuckle as she draws out the magic staff from behind her back with her right hand; gripping her steel longsword in her left as she moves onward. Her strides grow more confident as she moves, her body responding to the familiar weight of her inanimate companions in sword and staff with easy, balanced steps that swish her shoulder length crimson red hair back and forth with her stride.]

[The telltale signs of erected stone peek over the horizon a few hours onward, and Morgan's traveled boots feel a firmness to the ground now, as if it's been well trodden. She takes in a deep breath.]

A city...awesome! I'll be sure to find dad there...let's go, then. Time's a wasting, Morgan. ...Kind of sad that I've got to talk to myself to keep me company. It's quiet out here. But I guess, for now, that means there's less to be worried about.

Prose Log Sample: It was a curious little thing. Insignificant, really, when she first felt it in her satchel. She'd seen little trinkets like it before, and seeing as she barely remembered her own father's name, it made sense that she probably picked it up somewhere along the way she wandered over to...wherever this was. Still, dad said it was always the little things you didn't think were relevant that come back to bite you. And this little thing she didn't think was relevant was scraping at her attention from the gentle bumps it made against her hip in her stride, rhythmic and sychronized like any harmonic motion. It was a watch, that was what they were called. Little gearboxes that ticked away time. Pretty little things they were, she could remember it. They were always only for rich folk, though.

The first time she opened the watch, that's what she saw. A clock face with hands pointing in different directions toward the numbers one through twelve. But it was the second time, where the opened little watch showed...nothing but a few words where the clock had once been-- that was disturbing to her. Whatever it was, it was strange-- adaptive, almost magical in nature. She was sure of it. With every step through the empty street of this dead town where she could only see shadows flit about, no matter how quickly she chased, her interest grew. It may have been some cursed device given to her by some dark mage in exchange for her father's soul-- but no, why would she ever trade father's soul for a cursed device?! It must have been something incredible, something remarkable. It had to be. So she had to open it. She had to find out.

A gloved hand slipped into her satchel to hold the circular disk-like object in her fingers, before pulling it out for her eyes to assay once more. It made a beeping noise, this time, as her thumb undid the latch for the cover, and the face where the clock had once been turned from black to white, then back to that text, again. Welcome to Ruby City, it read.

Yeah, Morgan decided. She'd probably sell his soul for something like this after all. Her hand rose to cover her mouth's silence-breaking chuckle as she looked down at the device. Well, the investigation would begin now. For better or worse.

CHARACTER
Name: Elizabeth Midford
Canon: Black Butler
Age: 13
Timeline: Shortly after Chapter 14: That Butler, Hunting
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: n/a

Personality: Lizzy seems, at the surface, to be what you would think of, when picturing a noble girl of her age. She acts spoiled, insisting the world around her fit to her specifications--This usually means that everything around her is to be 'cute', from people, to the setting around her. Refusing her threatens a temper tantrum, such as when Ciel refused to wear her ring, and she has a tendency to bulldoze over people in order to get her way.

She is not, however, heartless. When she goes overboard (which she does, often), she'll immediately repent, and apologize for her behavior. She has a good heart, being friendly with Ciel's staff, and her own servants. She cares greatly for Ciel, and spends much of her time trying to make him smile, and generally make him comfortable around her, such as when she asked for a new pair of heeled shoes to be traded for flats, as she knew that Ciel was sensitive about his own height.

In truth, her naivity and innocence is in large part an act. She was told by Madame Red, Ciel's aunt, that men wanted a helpless woman, not one that was smart, or handy with swords, like Elizabeth is. This was only further imprinted when Ciel confided in her that he thought that strong women were scary, and that he was glad that he was marrying her, instead of someone like her mother. Lizzy, always eager to please Ciel, took it to heart, and endeavored to become someone that he could protect.

However, her mother was not hearing any of it, and did not want to discontinue her lessons. The argument was interrupted by Ciel's apparent death, which Lizzy took incredibly hard. When he came back, and Lizzy realized that he was shorter than her, she pledged that she would protect him instead. Thus, her sword lessons have continued. She worries over him, and how he never seems to smile much anymore.

Not all of it is a facade, though. Lizzy truly does love to be surrounded by adorable things, and if possessing the ability, will make all around her fit her specifications. She is also still innocent and naive, though not as much as she acts. She is generally unaware of the situations the Ciel gets into, and has no knowledge of what unusual and unwordly kinds of things goes on in his life. She knows that Sebastian is hyper-competent, but how he has these skills is a mystery to her. She's aware, something is odd, and something changed in Ciel since he returned from his apparent death, but her trust in Ciel is total, and whatever he doesn't tell her, she trusts is for the best.

Background: Her wiki page

Abilities: Lizzy is a skilled swordswoman, her older brother commenting that she is even superior to him. She managed to kill multiple bizarre dolls, once she used her swordplay, and proved that she has no small amount of bravery, when she attempted to fight Grell as well. Sebastian stopped Lizzy from attacking her, however, probably for the best.

Network/Actionspam Sample:
[She has clearly been preparing for this video, and as she sets the watch down and settles into her chair, she's framed by beautiful floral decor, her dress and hair as perfect as ever. She can't quite make it look like a painting, like what she's more used to, but she'll make do with what she has. She gives her most dazzling smile to the watch, and speaks.]

Everyone! I have excellent news! Spring is finally here!

[She reaches past the camera, and pulls some flowers that had been recently plucked, burying her face in them.]

Aaah, look at all these colors! Isn't it so much better than that dull grey of winter? Everything is going to turn cute again...! And to celebrate nature being cute again, there's only one thing to do!

[She tosses the flowers up in the air, and grins at the camera as the colorful flowers rain back down, petals drifting after them.]

A ball, of course! A dancing party, and everyone is allowed! But they have to dress as cute as possible, lots of colors, lots of bows, and lots of frills and lace! Nothing boring is allowed!

[Ciel had, naturally, not been told at all. Surprise.]

Prose Log Sample:

Elizabeth's first impression of Ruby City was less than dazzling, to say the least. It was mostly the rain's fault, hammering down relentlessly, while she was still trying to collect her bearings from that odd train ride. A fortuitous awning under a shop (closed, for the day or permanently, she couldn't tell) provided a temporary shelter, as she tried to sort out just what had happened to her. She had gone to bed, in a perfectly ordinary manner, only to wake up upon that train, unceremoniously deposited out into the city. With no parents, no sibling, no maid in sight, she was in a position that she had never been in before. Alone, scared and confused, she fidgeted with her gloves as she watched the rain pour.

She could have been kidnapped, but it was a lousy job, if she did say so herself. Not that she would blame someone for wanting to. Not only was she the sole daughter to the Leader of the British Knights, but the fiancee to the Earl of Phantomhive--Ciel! Oh, she hadn't even thought of Ciel, how could she forget him? If there was anyone who could puzzle this out and rescue her, it would be him, the Queen's watchdog. And they would be searching for her, naturally. Yes, with her parents, Ciel, and Ciel's butler on the case, surely it wouldn't be long at all.

The words cheered her, somewhat, and she straightened up, feeling resolved. Until they found her, she would look out for herself, in this strange, soggy city. She stepped forward--Then, remembered the rain. Stepping out in it would ruin her hair, ruin her dress, and with Ciel no doubt coming for her...There was no way that she could allow herself to turn as soggy as the city. Drenched hair, mussed dress...She shivered, and shook her head. No, she couldn't let him see her like that.

"...Once the rain stops. Then I'll leave and figure this out!" She declared to the rain, hands clenched in determination. Seeing if more stores were open would be the best idea, trying to see where she was, if a message could be sent to London. If this was a haphazard kidnapping, it would be easy to get everything straightened out easily enough. No doubt this city had a noble looking over it, and they would want to stay on good terms with both her own family, and the one she would marry into. Doubtlessly, they'd house her, until Ciel could launch the daring rescue--That is, picking her up from wherever this was. She'd make sure to let him think it was a daring rescue, though.

This plan decided, and concluded to be solid, she leaned against the glass of the store, watching the rain, and feeling a little more optimistic.

CHARACTER
Name: Crona Gorgon | Ragnarok
Canon: Soul Eater (manga)
Age: 13 | ??
*canon age is unknown for both. It is assumed Crona is the same age as Maka Albarn & Co. Ragnarok's is completely unknown without any way of guessing at it.
Timeline: Chapter 99: Full Speed Ahead!
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? n/a

Personality: (Crona Gorgon)
[Note: Crona was born male, but was largely a sexless test subject in the eyes of his own mother, who raised him. As such he doesn't 'get' the idea of gender differences in actions and speech. Crona just is... Crona. As such he will never refer to himself in 'speech' and internal thought as 'he' or 'she'. But in third person writing, I will refer to him as male. So unless a character sees him naked they will never have it confirmed as to what sex he is. Or, well, if Ragnarok blabs...

Also, Crona's psyche is unique in that as out of touch with sanity as he can be, and socially inept, he is incredibly innocent despite his violent past. Crona never learned that the thing he yearned for was 'affection' until he met Maka Albarn. And so his emotional development is stunted. Which in turn translate to his sexuality. He will never realize his sexuality until someone else acts as a catalyst to turning his mind into that direction. At that point he will find that he is pansexual, but until then he is asexual.]

Crona Gorgon is the product of his raising. Or, rather, the product of his mother's obsessive, sociopathic tendencies. To understand Crona you have to understand his mother's view of him. Crona was not a 'child' but an 'object'. Owned and important only in as long as he served her purpose. Things such as the sex Crona was born with meant nothing. There was no love, nurturing or care. Crona was merely a test subject of Medusa's birthing. As such Crona has no sense of gender identity. Nor does Crona have a sense of sexuality. At thirteen, there is a chance he could gain one, but as of now he is asexual.

Crona is socially awkward at best. Concepts of kindness, caring and love are alien to him, though he's been shown them through friendship with Maka Albarn, Soul Evans, and their compatriots. Crona does not converse with ease and is a being riddled by anxiety, descending into highly depressive moods. He does not understand many concepts and is easily confused by them, prone to engaging in conversations with himself regarding these things - vocally - not understanding how this could be perceived.

In so many ways Crona is innocent and like a child, not understanding why some things might be bad to those around him. However, like a child, Crona is learning. He has learned enough to have a budding conscience, the groundwork of such laid by his interactions with those from Shibusen. There is a vast potential for Crona's growth as a person, however Crona has extensive trauma in his life. His mother constantly put them in situations to kill his humanity, including killing a favored pet with his own hands. Sensory deprivation, starvation and isolation were also methods used in this regard. So it is a sign of how strong Crona is at his core that after thirteen years of highly abusive situations by his own mother there is still a chance of redemption.

Crona can exhibit insomnia and paranoia. Unable to understand genuine kindness and will question motives. He cannot fathom there not being any motives. Crona craves physical comfort, but shuns and shies from physical contact. Crona is blunt and tactless, but without realizing it. Crona is also incredibly loyal and protective of those that he forms a connection to, in his own way. Crona also holds a sense of curiosity, tempered by a childhood where his curiosity never turned out well.

All in all, Crona is a neurotic, paranoid, slightly insane and damaged innocent soul. A soul who, at his core, really just wants to be loved.

Crona fears his mother. She is the most terrifying presence in Crona's entire existence. He loves Maka Albarn in the strongest platonic sense, the purest emotional bond Crona holds.

Likes: Maka Albarn, reading, poetry, music, being outside, light rain storms, sunshine, being around his friends, making Maka proud

Dislikes: His mother, Ragnarok's bullying, pain, bullying period, being confused, not understanding things, upsetting his friends, failing his friends, being forced into situations he does not understand, being forced to fight by others (Ragnarok & Medusa)

(Ragnarok)

Ragnarok is a symbiotic presence within Crona Gorgon, and as such his life is shaped by this. No longer with a body of his own, no longer able to function as his own person, his personality has warped more than it already was as a Demon Sword to begin with.

Ragnarok is a crass and rude being. Concepts of friendship and caring are foreign to him. Instead he thinks in terms of ownership, allies and enemies. Ever shifting with Crona his only true constant. As such he has a strange, abusive yet possessive relationship with Crona. He can be verbally and physically abusive to Crona and anyone around him, and tends to get particularly snappish with new people around Crona if they attempt actual friendships as opposed to mere allies.

Ragnarok has trust issues which show in his actions. As he views Crona as his, he tends to fear those approaching Crona with 'friendship' and 'kindness' as threats to take Crona away. However he is highly influenced by his meister, and as such his capacity to accepting others and forming friendships is dependent on the level of insanity his meister is currently feeling. However it is unlikely that Ragnarok will ever fully develop actual bonds of his own with others.

It should also be noted that the stronger of a hold Insanity has on Crona, the more silent and submissive Ragnarok becomes until he no longer speaks and seems to have nothing more than a passive sentience. Like Crona, Ragnarok fears Medusa Gorgon.

Likes: Tormenting Crona, fighting, eating souls, eating food, insulting others, instigating fights

Dislikes: Being trapped inside Crona, feelings, uppity people, Maka Albarn, Medusa Gorgon, fluffiness, happy emotions, romantic comedies, Lord Death

CHARACTER
Name: Anakin Skywalker (nickname is: Ani - never Annie)
Canon: Star Wars
Age: Almost 23 - he looks more than a bit battle-wary
Timeline: Shortly after Ahoska, his apprentice, is expelled from the Order (this is mid Clone Wars period at least about 7-8 months prior to the events of Ep III)
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A

Personality: Anakin’s personality can be summed up nicely in one word: passionate. He wears his emotions broadly for all to see, defiantly and proudly. This manifests both in positive ways, and in many negative ways.

On the positive end of this spectrum Anakin is hard working, determined, and driven, and he will always fight for what he thinks is right (what is 'right', however, is highly subjective, depending on one's point of view). Ever since he was nine (almost ten) years old and taken from his mother on the planet Tatooine and placed into the care of Qui-Gon Jinn, he has wanted to become a Jedi Knight. They are the guardians of peace and justice (Anakin being more focused on the latter rather than the former) in the galaxy; and having experienced so much injustice prior to Master Jinn finding him, Anakin was particularly keen on joining a society dedicated to such virtues. Anakin doesn’t give up easily, even in the face of a challenge with seemingly insurmountable odds. One of his personal mottos is ‘There is always hope’, and he will do what he thinks is right. It is here his courage shines brightly, and it is for this reason the people of the Republic dubbed him ‘The Hero with no Fear’.

Anakin has within him the capacity to be quite compassionate; when those he cares about and loves are suffering he can’t help but act in their defense. Who he ‘cares and loves’ can be defined broadly, even those as disconnected form him as innocent bystanders. He loathes not being able to prevent harm from happening to anyone. It is from this compassion that springs his ability to be so loyal, when he’s made up his mind who to be loyal to. It is also from this place within him that he feels that strong sense of betrayal when those he cares about let him down. Because he puts so much of himself into his relationships (against the Code of his Order, no less) when those he cares about let him down (real or simply perceived) he feels it as a tremendous loss. The Order as a whole (and the Council as its representive) is one such source of disappointment. He has put so much of his energy into becoming a Jedi, to help and protect people (people who are like who he used to be - slaves, the abused, the damaged people of the Republic), but in return, the Order has rejected him - first quite literally when he was nine. But even after he was allowed in, he's never felt welcomed by the other Jedi. And as he's dealt with the Order, he's become disillusioned with their lack of actually helping people he personally identifies with.

CHARACTER
Name: Nelyafinwë ("Nelyo")/Maitimo/Russandol (later known as Maedhros)
Canon: Tolkien's Legendairum (The Silmarillion)
Age: uh. uh. um. That's an excellent question uh. P...robably several hundred to a thousand plus years? (it's a little hard to say for sure) As an immoral elf, he appears to be 20s-ish
Timeline: As Melkor is starting to cause all sorts of trouble
Personality:

As a character, Nelyafinwë is beset with elder sibling syndrome, brought on in part (I'm sure) by having six younger brothers - some of whom could be... difficult to get along with, at times - and a father who could be very difficult to get along with. In a family of hotheads, Nelyafinwë seems to have been one of the cooler heads more often than not, maybe exactly because he was the first (and thus - at least for a little while - only) child of Fëanor and Nerdanel. Fëanor can be abrasive, and therefore those raised by him are fairly likely to have gone one of two ways, either growing up to be very similar to him or spending a deal of the day going "dad, dad no, dad, dad." Nelyafinwë seems to have taken the second route, and some of Fëanor's choices as a result left him clearly uncomfortable on-screen, which means it's a fairly sure bet that there were a deal more of these off-screen.

This is not to say that he does not value and is not close to his family, in fact it's literally the opposite. Just that sometimes he probably sat in a back chair way behind Fëanor going "dad no stop you're embarrassing us all." This nonwithstanding, it seems that for the sons of Fëanor family came first, to the point where they were willing to leave their home, kill their relatives, and damn themselves forever to stick together like a family should.

(Look I don't even know).

At times being one of the cooler heads in the family can make him positively cold; part of this is because he is profoundly task-orientated. He is extremely logical, and can be merciless in pursuing a goal. If he doesn't have something to do, he is lost. He needs a purpose, a list he can check things off of or a spreadsheet to follow, but if he's given a goal of any kind you can basically guarantee he'll get it done.

This doesn't mean he can't also display his father's temper, in part. He can easily get angry, or frustrated, and as is evidenced by his history he can certainly be violent, though that is far less likely to happen this early in his history than it would have later. He's stubborn and extremely unwilling to let up on a goal that he's had set, or has set for himself (usually with the larger goal of doing what he's "supposed" to do - he is the dutiful son).

All of Fëanor's children can, at times, be something of a study in contradictions - honorable, yet they commit genocide, loyal and yet look what happens with that. One of the few things you can always count on is that they look after each other. This is perhaps especially true for Nelyafinwë, who after all is a big brother and an older cousin in a family full of troublemakers. He is the good child, the responsible one, the one who can be counted on. He can be stern or merciful, quiet or commanding, but no matter what he is today you can always count on him to do as he says. He makes sure of that.

Background:

The vast majority of things that Nelyafinwë (or Maedhros, as he's known by the time most of it becomes relevant) is actually involved in take place after his pull point, but I'm going to briefly detail them anyway, for the sake of being through and to illustrate his character as well as possible. Admittedly it's not a perfect gauge, as he does go through a lot of character growth and changes a good bit because of it, but you can see foundations of how things started in his actions.

SO.
