Please put your character's name and canon in the subject line of your application comment. Applications must be posted directly to this post and cannot be links. We will screen your application if you request it of us after we review it. Application challenges are allowed, but someone who did not place a reserve challenge cannot challenge a reserved application. Once reservations expire, an application challenge can only be placed before we process the character application of the applicant you would like to challenge. In the event of us nearing our application cap and having more applications than slots, we will attempt to choose the most well-written applications. First-time applicants will be processed first, then applications for second characters, and finally applications for third characters. We may allow more applications to be submitted than we have slots for in the name of greater selection. We will clarify in our response if an application is not being allowed into the game because of the cap or because of issues with the application not meeting the standards of the game.

Personality:
It would be putting it lightly if you were to call Zell lively. On a normal day, Zell is energetic and loud. He has issues with sitting still for long periods of time. He needs to be moving, talking, or doing something. Often, when he has to wait or needs to work off nervous energy, he will start shadow boxing. When the game introduces him, he is boxing against an invisible opponent and doing flips. Another time when the group was on standby, he was found in the hallway doing push-ups.
He can be passionate to a fault. Zell’s enthusiasm and lack of brain to mouth filter has gotten him in trouble. He’s blurted out on live television that they were from Garden during a mission. He’s also proclaimed that they will destroy all sorceresses, while forgetting that a member of the group, Rinoa, was one. When he’s emotional or pumped he winds up putting in his foot in mouth more often than not.
Zell doesn’t react well to teasing, even when it’s coming from friends. There are options for Squall to tease Zell, and Zell usually winds up shouting or insisting he’s not just a chicken wuss. "Yo, Squall!!! Why you dissin' me!?" It doesn’t help that Seifer is usually a huge jerk to Zell. He says his shadow boxing looks like Zell is swatting flies and makes a point to exclude him from conversations to piss him off. Seifer is the origin of the chicken wuss nickname, which is the biggest way to upset Zell.
Surprisingly, he’s the most adjusted of the Orphanage Group. He was raised in a warm and loving home. He’s looked up to as a hero in his hometown. Zell is friendly with everyone he meets and doesn’t hold grudges for long, even against Seifer. He aspires to get even with anyone who does him wrong or to prove to them that he’s not just a chicken wuss. Zell hopes that people can depend on him more. "Why can't it be ME!? Because I'm a Chicken-wuss!? ...Then...let me prove it to you! I'm a SeeD, just like you ARE!"
Zell has pride in his fists, his hometown, his status as SeeD, the people around him, and his knowledge. He talks about how he looks up to his grandfather, a hero from the sorceress war, and hopes to become like him. He knows he’s a great fighter and will remind the group to leave it to him and does his best to accomplish any task thrown his way. When Squall called him a “Mr. Know-it-all” for his knowledge of certain places, he grins and thanks Squall, not realizing it could be an insult. He’s picked up history and rumors about various places and is more than glad to share it. Once, he practically begged Squall to let him share his knowledge.
Surprisingly for someone loud and energetic, Zell is a bit of a boy scout. He reminds the party a few times about what they should or shouldn’t do. Zell adheres to the rules as best as he can. Running and riding his T-boards, a large hovering skateboard without the wheels, are the only times he willingly breaks the rules. He’s been caught running through the halls a couple of times. The martial artist is also a bit of a neat freak. His room in Balamb is kept super clean. He makes a point to tell Selphie, if she’s with you during a certain event, that he likes “keep things clean...".
Even though he doesn’t like holding a grudge against others, he will beat himself up for any mistakes he makes. When he accidentally let the world and their target know that they were from Garden, he fell into a state of self-deprecation. His shoulders were slumped and he kept looking down when they weren’t in immediate danger. He tried to think positively, but he kept cycling the worst-case scenarios through his head and asking others for their thoughts. It took three members of the group passing out and possibly a chat with Rinoa before he finally stopped beating himself up. In a way, he’s pretty dependent on how others think of him.
He has a very strong sense of comradery. Even if he might not care for a person or if they were rude towards him, he will fight for them as long as they are on the same team. He was all for rescuing Seifer from the Sorceress because he’s part of the orphanage crew and a part of Garden. There are a couple of moments where he talks about knocking sense back into Seifer or not wanting him to die. He’ll do anything for the people on his side and is even prepared to die for them. If he gets sent on the Missile Base mission, he will mention that he was prepared to die in battle.
Flavor Abilities: Hair that manages to defy gravity and doesn't seem to ever mess up regardless of the situation?
Suitability: He's resourceful in a pinch and listens to others pretty well. He knows how to build things or fix things like cars and jewelry. He's also the one who often trusted to mess with controls in certain places.
In his canon, he started to calm down a small bit. Started to mature in some of his responses and went from being wound up to actually responding better to taunts and teasing. I would like to explore him growing and calming down more. He will be forced to calm down a lot in Snowblind's environment and actually think before acting.
RP Samples:
Test Drive Network and Action samples.
Characters: Zell + his group
Location: Building Twenty-Six
Summary: Searching through a building and finding a bra.
This building was a lot more comfortable and less freaky compared to the other ones out there. He knows the faded lines were proof someone had covered the walls completely with pictures in the past. It reminded him of the pictures his Ma had hanging back in Balamb. He could see the same lines whenever they moved pictures from the walls for spring-cleaning.
The group he was traveling with decided to do a thorough search of the house before calling it a day. It was great that both bathrooms worked. It would be nice to feel alive again. They had planned on playing rock-paper-scissors for who gets to share the bed for the first shirt and Zell was pumped for it. It looked like a comfortable.
He was opening up one of the drawers when he found something folded up inside. It wasn’t until after he pulled it out did he realize what it was.
“The hell!!?” He dropped the offending item quickly. It was a bra. Zell could hear his name being called from his group. “It’s fine! I’m okay! Sorry!!!” He yelled quickly, hoping no one investigates the cause for his outburst. He could imagine the teasing already over being freaked out by a bra.
Crouching down, he flipped it over to investigate it. It’s not like he hasn’t seen one before, it’s just that it was drilled in his head that he shouldn’t really touch one without permission. No one was there to ask permission, and he weighed over if he should ask his group their thoughts. The underwire could be useful if he could do something with it. Scratching his head before he went to go find the first person to ask.
“Hey, do you think we could use a b-bra?”
ACCEPTED, NOTE
A normal single-story house with a kitchen, living room, bathroom, and master bedroom. There's also a second bedroom that has been converted to a craft room; while the crafts that have survived are dusty and mostly useless, being along the lines of scrapbooks and fabric cork boards, there's a large, pedal-powered sewing machine here. It's too heavy to carry around, but it's in working condition. "ALPHONSE ELRIC, STEPH BROWN, MAMI TOMOE, FREYA CRESCENT, EDWARD ELRIC, DAY TWENTY-EIGHT, TRAVELLING NORTH." has been carved into one of the walls.

Thank you for your interest in our game!
NOTE: Zell cannot have the potions, and the phoenix down will not work. He can't access his drawn magic, but if you want he can feel that it's there but be unable to access or use it in any way.
