• Please note: you need a reserve to apply, so please plan accordingly! Reservation dates can also be found on the game calendar and coincide with the TDM.
• For current players who are interested in 2nd or 3rd characters, please review and follow our policy about AC! To reserve a 2nd character you must have a pass for the previous month's AC with your first character. For a 3rd character, you must have a pass for the previous two months' AC for both of your characters. In addition, we do ask that the AC for the current month be met and filled into your AC comment by the time of your reserve. It must be full AC. This means you must have 20 comments between at least 2 and at most 4 threads and one memory regain listed for the current month's AC period. Your reserve will not be accepted until you supply the requested AC!

BLURB: Here you should write what you have for your AU; you can list your character's hobbies, who their friends and family are, if they have any particular quirks or interesting pieces of their history, if they're from a wealthy family or if they're struggling to get by, anything you feel is relevant.
LOOKING FOR: Are you looking for family members or friends or enemies for your character to be pre-planned? Or are you asking for ideas or feedback on your AU idea? Anything goes, just specify what you would like.
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: Are you torn between which character to app? Let us help! Post your ideas in a comment and let fellow players offer feedback and CR ideas. You can also use this section to ask for canonmates you would like to see in-game whether it be in your specific AU or for different CR.

January Workshop Character Directory

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

PLAYER: Dilly
CHARACTER: Dilandau Albatou/ Celena Schezar
CANON: The Vision of Escaflowne

AU NAME: Dylan Batool
AU AGE:18, a three year increase so he's at the same lifestage as in canon
AU OCCUPATION: Student at community college
BLURB:

- Foster child who doesn't know his roots and doesn't want to know them, because he might be ashamed by whatever dysfunctional people he was taken from
- He's ashamed of how terrified he still is of his foster father even after moving to Recolle. He has to make weekly phone calls just to make sure the leash isn't tightened round his neck.
- Less obsessed with setting fire to everything than in canon, just to save on him being immediately arrested.
- Wants to own a motorbike, partly so he's not a poser if he wears head to toe leather but mostly because he's a giant thrill seeker. He's saving up diligently.
- Wants to be a fighter pilot because piloting giant war machines is The Best Thing Ever, but because the US Airforce is nothing like the RAF I'm hedging my bets here and simply saying he's in community college to bump up his grades enough to apply.
- He needs a part time job and I'm leaning towards him being a mechanic, mostly because he has the opposite of every personality trait required for customer service.
- Is still the vainest thing ever and has an instagram-analogue following to match his ego.
- Practices a martial art to get out the emotional turmoil that lighting fires used to cure. I'm debating here, because I have a little experience with ju jitsu but he's the sort who'd pick something ultraviolent like Krav Maga
- Experiences gender dysphoria but is so far in the closet that he's in Narnia. He wants to believe that he's Normal. Behind his memories of Dilandau sleeps his original self, Celena, and though his memories of being her are suppressed his soul isn't meant to be in the changed body that it's in.
LOOKING FOR:
- Neighbours to his tiny studio apartment
- Fellow students
- Admirers of his photos/people who put out photos of their own he might view as competition
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME:
