| Application | |||
Applications are closed permanently. Thank you to everyone who has applied over the years! Before applying for a character, make sure you've read the rules and FAQ. You should also refer to the application guide to see what we're looking for in our applications. You may apply for one character per application cycle and three characters total. 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.

Re: Franziska von Karma | Ace Attorney | reserved
Franziska does not have any superhuman abilities. The only remarkable thing about her in this sense is that he has naturally-occurring pale blue hair, but that's about it.
Suitability:
While the bleak, survival-based landscape is a far cry from Franziska's environment in her own world, she possesses an incredible tenacity. She has been known to claim that the 'only thing that can interrupt her is death itself', and this is not her merely bragging. One time, after getting shot in the shoulder, she tried to go to work because she had a trial to run. Another time, she flew halfway across the world in the hopes of rubbing her superiority in a rival's face but ended up staying up all night solving a mechanical puzzle lock by brute-forcing all the possible combinations because it was what was needed doing at a time. She's also one of the most hands-on prosecutors in the series, preferring to personally oversee all of her crime scene investigations.
When Franziska has a goal in mind, she will let almost nothing get in her way. On that note, I am aware that Franziska has little in the way of practical survival skills, being a spoilt rich-kid city slicker. It is this dichotomy that I am most looking forward to playing with should Franziska be accepted into Snowblind; I want her to test her limits, to find them, to fail, and to see how often she can pick herself back up and keep trying.

Below, I've written a non-thread sample in the Snowblind setting.
Even her childhood in Germany had not prepared her for life in Norfinbury. Franziska had always loved the snow; now she had grown to hate it. She had always preferred being on her own, but now she found herself lonely in amongst the abandoned buildings.
Back home, she'd had a purpose: she was a world-famous prosecutor and one of the best at what she did. Here, her only goal was survival. So far, she had succeeded, but it might only be a matter of time before she pushed herself too far, too soon, and find herself outside after the lockout.
She shook her head to clear that thought; there was no point in loser thinking. It was foolish. If she allowed herself to become demotivated, then she had already lost. But even she could not ignore that her situation was quickly becoming dire. Her favorite boots were starting to impede her progress, heels frequently sticking in the snow, but she could not remove them for she had no alternative footwear. She would not go without because she'd become rather fond of her toes. Her rations were down to two crackers and a can of mystery meat. Even though she was a von Karma, she was still a human being. Her body required sustenance and what she had on hand was woefully inadequate.
Lastly, she felt unsafe. She had never left home without her whip, and now her fingers longed for something to properly curl around, something that would make her feel powerful. If someone attempted to rob her, what could she do with her mere rolling pin? Probably bruise them, a little bit, and that would be very satisfying, but then she would lose. Soon after that, she would be dead. Despite the thoroughness of the previous night's search, her efforts had only earned her a bobblehead of some unidentifiable celebrity, and half a stick of gum.
She had not seen another person face-to-face in a very long time, which had lead her to start thinking she'd been heading in the wrong direction out of sheer substances. Perhaps it was time to rendezvous with some others over the network... but then again, there was the issue of defending herself if things went wrong.
She'd never felt so powerless.
It was silent all around her for several moments as she tried to decide where to look next, but then, when she strained slightly, she could hear the sound of footsteps. Her body froze except for her hands, which automatically gripped the rolling pin in such a way that she could swing it if she had to. She pricked her ears. The footsteps got louder; somebody was coming but it didn't sound like they were going to make the first introductions.
Eventually, Franziska lost her patience and turned to the shadowy figure quickly approaching. “Who goes there!? Reveal yourself – I'm armed!” Speaking the words aloud calmed her slightly; it made her feel as though she were doing something. She could get through this.
Or so she told herself.
ACCEPTED
A standard two-story house with an attic. The first floor has a kitchen, living room, and dining room, while the second floor has two bedrooms and a bathroom. The attic's roof has collapsed and can't be accessed at night. During the night, footsteps can be heard in the attic. "@winston, third day.
