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.
[CANON] Loki Laufeyson | Marvel Comics | not reserved | 3/3
[ It starts out with a sudden tap, like a button pushed in curiosity, and it starts out in the middle of what sounds like a very absent monologue. ]
--nlike anything I have seen so far. A Stark phone isn't nearly as tricky, I have to say, which is saying something indeed. What Ikol would have made of it, I can scarcely even imagin--
[ Tap. The line goes dead for all of a minute before the image recording function kicks right in. It focuses on a face, too close to the screen and peering at it in a determined squint. Tap tap tap. ]
Does it work now? Hello? I'm sure a little labeling of functions wouldn't harm this thing terribly much-- [ The line, once again, goes dead. The interval between lasts much longer this time: a full three minutes before it flickers back on as if nothing had happened. ]
Much better, there. Hello? The train was very nice, but this is not where I need to be right now. Directions back to Broxton would be very muchly appreciated.
[ He's smiling, but it's about there that his expression falls ever so slightly; a faint crease between his brows, a small twitch of his mouth downward. ]
I have an event I must attend.
Third Person:
Strange as it is, and as utterly cloudy as he finds the circumstances to be, Loki cannot quite deny that for being his very first ride on a train, it is still a very fine one. There's something lulling about the clack and clatter of the wheels on the track, just as there is something enchanting about the passing countryside. Transportation at its finest and most comfortable, when compared to the art of flinging oneself across the distances with the momentum of a very large and very heavy hammer. The thought is a sudden one, and it halts just as suddenly as it came.
How quickly guilt works.
He shakes the thought from his head, and takes to playing with the thing in his pocket instead. A watch, he thinks, a clockwork pocket watch by it's size. It's not new, not by the Midgardian concept of new, but for Asgard it is certainly something to take note of. It's different enough to effectively distract him from darker thoughts, and that's enough, it'd be enough for now. Dials and buttons, doubtless functions he has yet to behold, and while it may not be his Stark phone (still nestled comfortably in his other pocket, he notes with some relieved satisfaction), it's still something worth investigating. When the train stops, he tell himself firmly. He wouldn't want to miss his stop, wherever it may be. Better to be prepared than alarmed like he feels he wants to be. Thor wouldn't want him to be alarmed. Thor would want him to be ready, and brave, and everything that Loki is not much like.
But he thinks he can manage anyway.
Face pressed against the window, Loki waits, a roiling blend of curiosity and consternation, excitement and alarm. To tear him from Sif's side and Thor's funeral, this unknown force had best have a reason most dire and pressing. Small as he may be, young and inexperienced as he may be, Loki was still an Asgardian, and was not Asgard a city of heroes? He had to make do with himself and himself alone here, in this city rolling into view. Here, there was no Thor to look to for assurance and protection. Here, he was Loki Laufeyson, and he would have to make do.
REVISION REQUESTED
At this time we are requesting a revision before we consider your application for acceptance. Specifically, your third-person writing sample doesn't fit the application's requirements("Third Person," in the context of most DW roleplay - including Ruby City - Really just indicates past-tense or "prose" format writing). We would like to ask for a revision of that writing sample before completing our review of your application. Thank you!

It wasn't not new, not by the Midgardian concept of new, but for Asgard it certainly was something to take note of. It was different enough to effectively distract him from darker thoughts, and that was enough, it'd have to be enough for the time being. Dials and buttons, doubtless functions he had yet to behold, and while it may not have been his Stark phone (which still nestled comfortably in his other pocket, he noted with some relieved satisfaction), it was still something worth investigating. When the train stopped, he assured himself firmly. He wouldn't want to miss his stop, wherever it may be. (If there was such a thing, even.) Better to be prepared than alarmed like he felt he wanted to be. Thor wouldn't want him to be alarmed, was the prevalent thought. Thor would want him to be ready, and brave, and everything that Loki wasn't feeling much alike.

[ACCEPTED]
Welcome to Ruby City! Go ahead and join
After you have done this, post to the Contacts page, Tag Request page, the Taken Characters page and, if you know where your character will be living, the Residences page! Familiarise yourself with the Rules and FAQ and introduce yourself at
If you have a plurk account, please add the rubycitymods plurk to be included in future updates, information and feedback. We are on plurk at
PLEASE BE AWARE: THE CITY IS CURRENTLY IN THE MIDST OF AN EVENT.
So, instead of entering via train(as would be normal), this is the scenario all new residents will face if you choose to intro them at this time:
[...You wake up lying on a beach, the sound of the sea in your ears. Above you, the sky is a pure, brilliant blue, with nothing but a few wisps of cloud drifting lazily across it. The city – and indeed the entire world that contained it – is gone, replaced by an idyllic island, surrounded on all sides by a vast, sapphire ocean. The sand on the beach where you find yourself is a pure, almost too-clean white, scattered here and there with perfect conch and auger shells. Upon turning away from the sea to look at the island itself, you will find yourself viewing something which is nothing short of a paradise.
The beach stretches away in both directions until it curves around each side of the island, and borders a lush-looking forest which slowly rises to cover three low mountains. Over the softly rushing sound of waves, birdsong fills the air, accompanied now and then by the sounds of the native animals.
This is no civilisation, however. This island was never built to support a population that so widely depends upon a certain level of comfort for their happiness. No houses or shelters of any kind save for naturally forming caves are to be found here, and no supplies that do not need to be gathered or caught. Although the island looks safe enough in the daylight, beware, for as much as it was not made to be inhabited by the city’s residents, there are creatures that come out at night which may see these sudden new arrivals as a welcome change from their normal diet…]
The event's OOC explanation can be found here, and you're welcome to either intro your character now or at the event's end, as you prefer.
Thank you!
