✗ Applications are processed weekly, every weekend. The cut-off time for the submission of applications is 11:59PST on Saturday.
✗ Before applying, please read the FAQ and Rules pages.
✗ Please submit your application with the journal you plan to use if you have one made already. If not, another journal is fine, but we prefer your intended journal so it makes for an easier time in granting access to the mod journal and the contacts page.
✗ For very long applications, we would ask you to please separate them into various comments so that they will not take up too much of the page.
✗ Please title your application as { [CANON/CANON OC/OC]CHARACTER NAME || Series Title || reserve/no reserve || X of X } in the subect header
✗ IMPORTANT: Our application form was edited on September 07, 2015. Please use the revised form.
✗ If you are looking for an example of what an application should be like, please refer to the application here for an example of a canon character application, and here for an original character application.

The minimum will be three well-written paragraphs, but you should be able to write more.

World Information: Please go as in depth as you can about the world. There is no wiki or website for us to reference, and we need to know as much as we can about the place your character comes from so that we can understand the character when reviewing the application.

History: Your characters’ history in their world. Be sure to be detailed. This section should be a minimum of three paragraphs.

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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

First Person: [The video feed shows, at first, only a severe close-up of a brilliantly blue eye. Whoever is holding the device is giving it a decidedly through inspection. The view expands as the communicator is lowered, and the man in possession of it is revealed: tall, broad, sturdy and unshaven. He looks confused – in fact, it’s safe to assume that ‘confused’ is a vast understatement.]

These devices… what magic is this?

[No matter how many of Stark’s gadgets he had seen during the first venture of the Avengers Initiative, there was still a large degree of culture shock to be had. Both of his visits to Midgard had been, by all accounts, incredibly brief.]

This place… I have never seen a realm so desolate! Has some evil driven out those who would call this place their home?

[He had seen some people since leaving the train station, but he felt that for a city of this size, there should have been more. He makes an effort to set aside his questions for the time being. If anyone is out there listening, he might as well make himself known.]

I am Thor Odinson, warrior-prince of Asgard! Tell me, who is king of this realm, and why has he brought me here? I have questions, and I would have them answered at once!

Third Person: At first, he was almost certain that it was a dream, that he had once again fallen asleep after too much wine and imagined this strange train that cut its path through the god. It soon became obvious that this was not the case – if it were, it would have been a frighteningly lucid dream, the seats and railings feeling decidedly solid. His head had finally cleared by the time he reached the station, alone on the platform with no one to question about this strange arrival. He did not remember boarding any train; they did not have such things in Asgard, and Midgard was far behind him.

He saw no one else as he made his way through the station, Mjolnir at his side. Even at its most desolate, it was a mistake to wander into unknown territory unarmed. A warrior of Asgard never let his guard down; you never gave an enemy the chance to get the jump on you if you could help it. He narrowed his eyes curiously as he took in his surroundings, moving slowly through the station and pausing to peer through one of the windows that looked out over the city beyond.

“What in the Nine Realms…” he began, trailing off as he craned his neck to see what lay past the plaza outside. The station no longer held his interest. He was quick to make his way outside into the sunlight, the fog of the train ride now forgotten, his head and vision both clear and no longer clouded with the heavy haze of sleep.

It was like no place he had ever seen before, the architecture nothing like that of Asgard, too civilized to be compared to Jotunheim, and perhaps too antiquated to be compared to Midgard. It was somewhere new entirely.

“Who or what has brought the mighty Thor to this place?!” he asked of no one in particular, his voice projecting as it always did, loud and commanding of attention. Though there was no one to be seen, he still expected some kind of answer. He had always received answers before. Then again, he had always been aware of his visits to other realms before now. This was different. Different meant he would have to exercise caution.

He was prepared to seek out whoever might have been responsible for his being called to this place, but moving brought his attention to a strange weight in his left pocket. He felt around to search for the cause, emerging with a small item that he immediately recognized as a watch – or something close to one, anyway. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it had a series of buttons on it – nothing as complex as the devices Stark and the others had used in Midgard, but reminiscent enough for him to put a name to it.

“Curious,” he mused aloud, frowning as he turned it over in his hands, suspicious. “How could this have been given to me without my noticing?”

Well. All of this certainly warranted further investigation. He would have answers, and he would have them now.
