| 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.

Character Information
Name: Inuyasha
Canon: Inuyasha
Age:
Inuyasha200Gender: Male
Canon Point: Manga Chapter 100
Background Link: here
Inventory:
In the interest of pants, Inuyasha will have his full canon outfit, but without any of the demonic properties of the fire rat hair. His beloved sword is confiscated. May he have the scabbard?
Personality:
Several people tell Kagome that Inuyasha has changed in the time she’s been with him. This may be true, but from the first time we meet him we can see that he’s reluctant to hurt people unnecessarily. While he does attack humans he cuts at the trees, when he might just as easily cut them. The fact of the matter is that Inuyasha is a good person at heart – he doesn’t want to hurt people, not really. The effect Kagome has on him is not so much gentling him as making him more comfortable with himself.
Deep down (very deep down, at times) Inuyasha is someone who cares deeply about the people around him. He defends human strangers and the occasional weaker demon, but most of his caring is directed towards those who travel with him. It doesn’t seem to matter how his companions treat him – after a brief period of time travelling together they are Friends, and Inuyasha will always protect his friends. He ends up showing this affection more often than he might like, as he is so revenge-minded that when his friends get hurt he immediately goes into overdrive, whether he wants them to know he cares about them or not. In this way, Inuyasha is the traditional tsundere.
A lot of anger and violent tendencies come from 200 years of taking abuse for being a ‘half breed’. It doesn’t help that Inuyasha is very sensitive, as quick to snap at someone as he is to be offended. He tries to play the tough guy to make up for his perceived weaknesses, which also means that he is quickly embarrassed by his own dramatics. An attempt to act cool backfires and then backfires again as he tries desperately to recover his dignity.
The half demon’s most apparent trait is his simplicity. He isn’t terribly clever, and he doesn’t seem to understand the concept of subtlety. Unfortunately this means he can also be inconsiderate, especially when he doesn’t realize how his actions might look to someone else. This is particularly true of romantic matters, which he has some difficulty articulating. Although he is in love with Kagome, he doesn’t seem to realize that telling her his dead ex-girlfriend has to be first priority implies that he isn’t. Partly this is another example of simplicity – he perceives no hidden meanings to anything and so he thinks that nobody else will either.
Flavor Abilities:
Inuyasha will maintain the nature of being a half-demon, meaning that he will have white hair, dog ears and nails filed to points like they’re claws, and once a month on the night of the new moon he will lose all of these properties and look like a normal black-haired human. He will not have the sense of hearing or smell, nor the hard nails associated with dogs – just regular strength nails that grow in points. This will have the bonus negative effect of scratching his normally-tough skin from time to time. I would like him also to keep his fangs, but am willing to say that they’ve been dulled so they aren’t much use as weapons. I would also like for him to still be overwhelmed by especially strong smells.
I would also love if his stylish magic necklace maintained the power to force him to ‘sit’ on command, even though this will only apply if Kagome shows up.
Suitability:
Inuyasha is not the sharpest tool in the shed, but out of sheer stubborn contrariness he manages to survive even the most dangerous situations with none of his demon powers. He will do his best to escape the situation and protect the people around him, but otherwise he’s not really smart enough to do much else besides sulk.
Once someone takes up with him, however, he will dedicate himself to protecting that person and consequently anyone they care about. He will of course complain bitterly about not making any progress regardless of the fact that it will be his own decision to stay with friends.

REVISION REQUEST
We feel that the personality section needs expansion; while it touches on the basics of his character well enough, but we would like to see you go a bit more in-depth with the points you've covered and his character in general. Additionally, his samples are too short; the network post doesn't meet the ten-comment minimum, and the introspective third person is a bit too short on its own. We request expansion of these, either with new samples or via threads you may have already written.
Please reply to this comment with your revisions within three days or your slot will be forfeit.
