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
Character Name: The Signless
Canon: Homestuck
Timeline: The Signless is taken from a certain point during his travels with his companions, before being captured and executed, when he was hoping to change his world for the better.


If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: I also play Nepeta Leijon from Homestuck. Signless and Nepeta lived hundreds of years apart, as is assumed. They don’t know each other.
As far as their play in the game, if Signless saw Nepeta, she would remind him of the Disciple, his matesprit (as we are told in the story, girlfriend would be the better term for their relationship), and regard her fondly because of that. Other than that, he’d see Nepeta as another member of the (last) young generation of trolls that, unfortunately, had to live in a violent Alternia, forced to fight each other in pointless feuds and struggling to survive, before reaching adulthood and being sent to space to forcefully aid Her Imperious Condescention’s planet conquering. He’d feel especially protective of that group of trolls, as in checking up on them from time to time, but not giving Nepeta more attention than to any of the others.
Any other interactions would not have much importance and all of them would be offscreen.

Personality: Signless thrives on being a calm, understanding troll. Considering he brought upon himself the task of spreading the ideals of love for his people and equality among all trolls, one would be safe to assume that he lives by his words.

Upon meeting him, one would notice how he speaks in a calm, gentle, kind manner, leaving the other person at ease. He is quite non-threatening, in fact being welcoming to people of all kinds. He won’t refuse a pleasant idle chat, and will most definitely offer advice, especially if asked for such, trying to be as helpful as his knowledge allows him. He seeks to maintain a good, relaxed mood.

Those that come to him in need will notice his eagerness to help. Despite, of course, having his own problems to take care of, he’ll never ignore a request for help. One should not be ashamed to come to him in times of need, no matter how delicate the situation. He’ll maintain secrecy if he must, unless he truly believes that it should be broken in order to reach the best solution to the problem. If he cannot help, he will, in the very least, offer a shoulder to cry on, and a few soothing words.
One can assume that Signless’s calm and kind nature comes from the fact that he was raised by The Dolorosa, not just different from having been raised by a Lusii (essentially a wild monster/animal), but also the fact that it was a kind act by itself, since, without her help, he would have simply died as an infant.

Like it was mentioned in the earlier paragraph, Signless sometimes has his own issues to take care of. And as so happens to most of those who will gladly carry everyone else’s weight on their shoulders, he’ll keep his own problems to himself. At some point, if the situation truly calls for it, he might ask some particular people to lend him a friendly ear, but he does not enjoy the idea of burdening others with such things, and will avoid doing so.

He is particularly protective of those of his own kind, especially those who do suffer the weight of being in the lower castes of the Hemospectrum. And yet, he welcomes all, treating them in a manner that resembles the care of a family member. This would be shown in the way he promotes equality between all trolls, and his accepting attitude towards others.

Despite his goodwill, Signless does have his own anger triggers. He strives to stay calm, but he will not endure blatantly disrespect and rudeness, whether it is intended at him or others. If someone acts unmannerly towards him, he will refrain from having hasty reactions, and will choose to advise them to change their wording or action instead. It will take a lot to finally make him react, but, if he must, he will. Not being a supporter of violence, he will do everything in his power to not resort to it, no matter how bad the situation gets.
If he notices someone suffering through the acts of another, he will not hold back his tongue, and will quickly move to protect the victim, confronting those guilty of such acts. Again, much like mentioned before, he will always try to maintain calm, and only resort to more extreme measures when there is simply no other way to correct the situation.


Therefore, Signless is a welcoming, kind troll, who will befriend all of those who give him such privilege, but he does not hold ignorance towards unruly behaviors and/or acts of violence, quickly putting himself in harm’s way if it means protecting those who cannot help themselves.

PLAYER
Name: James
Personal Journal: vastexpletive
E-mail: itsasekrit@hotmail.com
AIM/MSN/etc: itsasekrit1993

CHARACTER
Name: Roxanne Lalonde
Canon: Homestuck
Timeline: Post Death
Personality: If there's one thing that Ms. Lalonde is known for, it's her passive aggression. Or at least that's what her daughter would say; while Ms. Lalonde is quite capable of being a huge, passive aggressive bitch, a lot of her actions are sincere. Despite the fact that Mom and Rose were perpetually locked in a battle of passive aggressive one-upsmanship, it's pretty clear that Rose had always misinterpreted her actions and that Mom really always did love and care for her daughter and always wanted what was best for her. The reason for these misunderstandings with Rose is that Mom is not good at expressing her emotions. She tends to keep a lot of her thoughts and feelings to herself which inevitably leads to Rose thinking that her actions are insincere or passive aggressive.

Ms. Lalonde is also very intelligent and is an Astronomer, meaning she is an expert at celestial phenomena. She worked for Grandpa Harley and that's not a bragging right that many people actually have the privilege of having, and she was also involved in the creation of SBURB. Considering the fact that the game is so complicated, this shows that she is a very smart, especially considering she accomplished a lot of these things at a younger age than most women, as she's only in her late thirties, and was in her late twenties when she found Rose in the meteor crater when she was off studying the phenomena for Grandpa Harley.

Sarcasm is also a strong trait in many Lalondes, but most especially Ms. Lalonde. It's probably one of the reasons that her and Rose's relationship is so tense on occasion, because she hides her emotions behind a wall of sarcasm. But just because she can be a sarcastic bitch doesn't mean she doesn't have feelings; she's just incapable of expressing them in a way that isn't sarcastic, or in a way that doesn't come off as sarcastic. When she does act sincere, it's usually in a way that makes it seem like she's still being fake unless the situation is really dire... And by then it's usually too late.

Just the same as she can use words to hurt people, she's just as capable, if not more, of physically hurting people. She's skilled in hand-to-hand combat, able to take down a very large monster with ease, using only her hands. It can also be assumed and is very likely that she's just as skilled with a gun, as she's been shown carrying what appears to be a large rifle. Considering how smart she is and how skilled at martial arts she is, she has probably dedicated a lot of time into her marksmanship skills and is very handy with her gun.

Ms. Lalonde is also, to put it bluntly, an alcoholic. Her house is always well stocked with booze and she is hardly ever seen without a martini in hand. Despite the fact she's almost constantly drunk, however, it never affects her ability to do things- presumably because she's been drinking long enough to be a highly functional alcoholic. She doesn't really tend to slur her words unless she's been drinking heavier, nor does she ever really stumble or fall like most people who drink as much as she does. Overall, she holds her liquor very well.


First Person: If I were to say that I am not confused, it would be a lie. However, I have experienced enough to have a general idea of what happened, despite the fact I do not understand exactly how it happened. I am not dead anymore, that much is obvious. While the gesture is nice, the act of taking me from the game should have been beyond impossible, so I do not particularly appreciate being brought back to life. I have, however, gathered that no one here is aware of who or what brought them here, so I will avoid the obvious line of questioning. Instead, I will just introduce myself. My name is Roxanne Lalonde.

Next, I will inquire about two things. First and foremost; has anyone come across a girl by the name of Rose Lalonde? If so, please tell me more.

Second and only slightly less important, where is the nearest bar?

Third Person: She saw it coming, but despite that it still hurt. What she didn't see coming was the overwhelming guilt she felt as she drew her last breath. There was so much that she couldn't say to Rose that she wanted to and now she couldn't, and that hurt more than the physical wounds ever could.

Actually being dead wasn't so bad though. The dream bubbles were fairly nice, despite the fact that she couldn't actually get drunk there. She met a lot of... interesting people. And by interesting, they were pretty weird. It wasn't a completely miserable existence, and it meant that she could distract herself from the emotional pain. Or rather, dull it to the point that she could focus on other things and not Rose.

How long she was dead was unclear, but when she found herself waking up on a train of all things, she was quite confused. She knew immediately that she was no longer in the game, because this wasn't a part of it. She didn't panic though, because that solved nothing. Instead, she kept calm and tried to find out as much as possible. In the end, she really didn't find out much, nor did she manage to find the one thing she really wanted to find.

So she settled for the second thing she wanted to find the most, which was the bar. Despite the fact she didn't have money, she still managed to get a drink using her Lalonde charm. Or rather, she asked as nicely as possible and hoped for the best. Thankfully, it paid off. She let out a sigh as the familiar feeling of the alcohol hit her after a while. She'd missed that feeling. It dulled the ache more than anything had in a long time. It made her realize just how bad it really had been in the dream bubbles when she couldn't get drunk.

At least it meant that there was something good about this place, even if her Rose wasn't there. All she could do now was drink and hope that one day, preferably soon, she would show up too.

CHARACTER
Name: Lea
Canon: Kingdom Hearts
Timeline: End of Dream Drop Distance
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A

Personality: When he was younger, Lea had a habit of making new friends in much the same way a child would like to adopt stray puppies (and, in fact, his best friend Isa made this comparison to him at one point). He was friendly and outgoing, quick-witted and competitive. He was a troublemaker, who would break the rules just because it seemed like a good idea at the time, and it seemed like a bit of fun. He also seemed to have an obsession with wanting to not be forgotten. His catchphrase was, and continues to be, "Got it memorized?" He was charismatic, if not a bit dorky.

As an adult, Lea isn't too different from his teenage self, if only a bit more jaded and rougher around the edges. He's still the competitive person he was before - enough so that he was willing to attempt to take on Xehanort with only his chakrams against Xehanort's Keyblade, even though he wouldn't have stood much of a chance. Later, he also makes a friendly challenge to Riku that one day he will be the better Keyblade Master of the two, even though when he made the challenge, he hadn't even been able to summon his own keyblade yet (he does so for the first time only moments later).

Lea also seems to enjoy making an entrance (either that or he just has really, really close timing), as seen on two occasions. The first time, he showed up to save Queen Minnie from Maleficent and Pete only by throwing a fiery chakram through a portal of darkness with enough precision to break Pete's grasp on her. The second time, he showed up only seconds before Xehanort would make Sora his new vessel, and saved the boy from certain doom.

When it comes to his friends, Lea is no coward. He is willing to put himself in harm's way and go through anything necessary to find - and save - his friends. When he returned as a complete person in Radiant Garden along with Dilan, Aeleus, Ienzo and Even, and noticed that Isa and Braig failed to appear with them, he went on his own mission to find them, of his own volition, with his only complaint being a somewhat joking, "Why do I always get stuck with the icky jobs?" - an echo to a time as Axel when he was sent to hunt down and destroy Roxas, who had escaped from the Organization.

CHARACTER
Name: Aranea Serket
Canon: Homestuck
Timeline: After using her psychic power to wake Dirk up
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A

Personality:

Aranea is mostly a kind and pacifist troll, compared to the ones from the same species as her. Even when she was disliked by most of the cast of her player mates when she entered the sgurb server, she would see them all as friends anyway, though Meenah was the only one she was able to call a real and close friend, to the point Aranea is not able to fully comprehend Meenah (ie wondering if she’s being honest under certain occasions) and get influenced into making fish puns.

She likes to talk with people and get to know them better, though most of the times she talks too much and leads conversations around herself. She’s however aware of these flaws, but considering she’s from a more gentle nature, it’s not as abusive and cockish as Vriska’s personality.

She’s really caring and tries to help people to solve their problems, mostly using the expression “healing”. She is as well the Sylph of Light, and she’s able to make people see things, metaphorically and literally. It may also be noticed she might have healing powers as she offered herself to restore Terezi’s eyesight.

Besides her hero aspect powers, as a pure blue blood, she has psychic powers like Vriska. She even calls herself a “fairly gifted psychic”, being able to access and control one’s mind, after fully exploited. Though her power is weaker when dealing with humans, being only able to sense their emotions (like Jake’s flushed feelings for her) and make them wake up (like she woke Dirk when he wanted to leave the dream bubble), as well as probably make them sleep.

Though she has such strong powers, she’s not able to abuse them anyway to anyone’s doom; instead, she mentions to Jake once how those powers can be unpleasant to the point as much as she can hear people getting flushed for her, she can also hear negative emotions about her, making people with such powers delude themselves into trying to fix themselves so people won't think so badly of them. Therefore, she seems to be completely capable to control her emotions and not get herself too involved.

However, as much of a peaceful creature Aranea is, under the normal standards in her planet before provoking the scratch, she wouldn’t be considered nice but instead boring. She seems to be disappointed about her own personality to the point she wish she was more confident, outgoing and dramatic, resulting in becoming Mindfand in her post-scratch life, being exactly what she wished she was, though it came along with their people’s enslavement and almost extinction.

CHARACTER
Character Name: Anya Braginskaya | Russia
Canon: Axis Powers Hetalia
Timeline: Modern Day
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: I’m currently playing Spain, and though these two are from the same canon, Anya is actually an AU version of Russia and does not exist in Spain’s version of the world. Thus, he wouldn’t actually know her. That said, they both also run different circles, and it’s highly likely he wouldn’t meet her outside of occasional nation things or other such things. Because of this I feel that it wouldn’t truly be a conflict to have both of these guys here.

Personality:

Himaruya has given very little in terms of personality, saying only that Russia is the “wearied mother type” and I’ve taken creative liberty to work around that.

Anya is a woman of several strengths. She’s beautiful and witty, strong and full of passion. But she is also a woman who has been through hardship her whole life. In this, it becomes increasingly apparent that as a person she is jaded to the world and the people around her. She is warm without the depth of caring to an overarching general, vicious in her dislike to those who have wronged her in some perceived fashion and thorough in her grudges. Because of her rough past, Anya finds it increasingly hard to trust people and will often keep other nations and people at an arm’s length away from her simply because she’s afraid of them getting too close and hurting her.

So yes, trust is a thing that is hard to come by with Anya. She would love to have people who understand and trust her, people to go to when something is wrong and she doesn’t know what to do, but Anya is aware that this is a simple dream and she is incapable of this. So often she doesn’t try, too set into her ways to let others in. She’s strong willed and a force of nature. If anybody can do it, it’s Anya. However, this is a bit of a double edged sword. Because of her attempts at doing everything herself, Anya has the habit of wearing herself to the bone and continuing on past this. Because she’s done this for a long time, she’s extremely capable of hiding this and making it seem like nothing’s wrong, but often she’s about to drop. But she is a stubborn woman and will not turn back and accept ways that she knows does not help her. So here, we can see that Anya is a person who would rather surge forward and make her own path, carve it with her own hands if need be than to depend on somebody else’s help.

She is also a master of masks and wields them as easily as she pleases. As I mentioned before, trust is a tenuous thing with Anya and given the masks she weaves into her everyday life it’s easy to see why. She’s a liar and a manipulator, twisting words and situations to what best helps her and her situation. This isn’t always something that can be picked up on, however as Anya is subtle and takes caution not to get caught. If and when she does, however, Anya is not afraid to lash out with words or physically, she’ll be a cornered animal in her attempts to get away and vicious in her words and touch.

That said, Anya is for the most part, remarkably calm. She tends to spend her days with a smile on her face and an even tone, despite all the teasing she does. She’s also incredibly loyal to her people and her loved ones and is willing to go to any lengths for them. She loves strongly once she lets you into her heart and will go above everything if the situation calls for her help. Likewise, she can be blind to faults and will defend a person no matter what.

So in the end, Anya is a complex sort of woman, one who can lie on either end of the spectrum and be perfectly comfortable. She’s beautiful and deadly, vicious and caring, and above it all she’s the representation of the Russian Federation and things defer to this. She’s not one to let herself get walked over and that’s exactly how her country is too.
