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] THOR ODINSON || Marvel || Reserved || 3 of 3
So, it's been made fact that we cannot escape from our...creative prison. [He flourishes a hand toward the background of the feed.]
However, that does not mean we cannot work together in some fashion. Even if we cannot promise an escape, perhaps it would be wise to consider a means of taking care of each other. I've knowledge that my midgardian comrades are among the captured here, however, I am curious as to whether there are heroes of other realms residing alongside us. Make yourself known to me, and we can become allies.
That being said, I am willing to believe even the most wretched of evil doers have begun to shine in such dark times. [He smiles, just a little as he continues onward, giving the feed a knowing look.] Now is not the time for revenge, now is the time to put the past behind us and work together. Regardless of our wrong doings. That is..if you are willing. [It seems as if that is directed at one person in particular, but he continues to make it a public announcement.]
Third Person: Thor is no stranger to foreign realms. He's ventured from Jötunheimr to Álfheimr in his conquests and travels. However, no realm had ever befuddled and bewildered him in the manner that Midgard had. The inhabitants, though not particularly striking in appearance (the silks they wore were another matter entirely) were curious in their actions. Hailing from a realm of Godly warriors in which he was paid the respect he deserved, the casual tone the mortals took to him always rendered him speechless.
However, in the strangest way, their dialect was endearing. While Thor struggled to talk down to the allies he respected, he had always tried to pick up new words. Never afraid to ask questions, he was begining to catch on to the culture of Midgard. He found the answers to his questions deeply rewarding, for mortals had always seemed so pathetic and low from afar, now that he had walked among them he had come to appreciate both the simplicity and the innovativeness of their creations.
A small, rectangular pastry. Who new the wonders such a small package could hold? Thor had never tasted such a sweetness in all of his years of eating. Popped tarts, as he believed they were referred to, are an expression of the mortal's ability to create their own magic with such unrefined skill.
Though a part of him yearned to reveal the secrets of Midgardian inventions to his fellow warriors of Asgard, he did not want curious and hungry travellers to flock to the realm under his protection. He has learnt the consequences of such actions. Of course, if he had managed to bring back a single box, surely Volstagg would take it from him. A pity.
He sighs and drapes his arms over the ledge of his window, gazing over his eternal priority, Asgard. He knows full well there are things far more important than sweets that cause him to yearn to visit the realm of Midgard again.
[REVISION REQUESTED]
At this time we are requesting a revision before we consider your application for acceptance. Specifically, we would like you to please reconsider your "Personality" section. Though you clearly put no small amount of effort into it, all it really shows us is a synopsis of the movie "Thor." When in doubt, just assume that we've never heard of this guy and have no idea who he is or what he's all about. That, more than his recent plotline, is more along the lines of what we'd like to see.
Secondly, please reexamine your Third-Person writing sample; Though generally well-written, your sample fluctuates a fair bit between past- and present-tense, whereas we ask that the Third-Person writing in Ruby City remain strictly in past-tense, "prose" format.
Please feel free to submit your revision at your convenience, and we will be happy to look it over as soon as it comes in.
Thank you for your cooperation!
