Apps are closed.
Apps open during the final week of each TDM month. They open at midnight, then close at midnight on the 1st of the following month. All timezones are UTC. Refer to our game calendar for upcoming dates.
Apps are screened.
Reserves are not required to app.
Players may play up to three characters at a time. They can all be applied for at once, if you choose.
- Three characters are the maximum. There is no current plan to expand this number.
There are no player or cast caps at this time.
To learn more about what kinds of characters are allowed in Karteria, please check out the FAQ here.
In the event that the same character is applied for twice without reserve, priority goes to the first application fully received. Priority always goes to a reserved character; we don't compare apps when two are received for the same character.
Please post your application directly to this page in multiple comments. Do not link your application. This is to prevent edits. Repost comments if you need to edit something.

IC INFORMATION

Name: Character name
Canon: Canon title
Age: If there is a distinction between mental and physical age, please note this here
Gender: Feel free to list character pronouns here too
Species: Human, elf, orc, etc. If your species is beyond the scope of common D&D races, feel free to include a short description or link a wiki page
Appearance: You may include an image or a short description. (Is human, has black hair, rainbow eyes, average height, scrawny build...). Please note if you'd like your character to have a more "convenient" vessel, in the event that you're apping a 30-foot tall squid! Check out the FAQ.
Canon point: If your character is CRAU, please mention their canon point and from which game(s) they have CRAU memories from.

History: Link a wiki page or provide a history that focuses on your character's role in their canon. If your character has no history, or they are an OC, shoot for around 1,000 words.

CRAU details: Provide a short summary of your character's time spent in their game(s). Additionally, provide a list of notable developments to your character. You may combine these two requirements by describing events, and explaining what impact they had on your character. Keep it around 1,000 words.

Personality answers: Select any FOUR questions from the provided list. We want to see insight into the character's psyche, and welcome answers that might rely on canon extrapolation. Please try to cite canon events when making a case for an answer. Keep answers to each question around 250 words. We won't be super strict about this, but try not to go over too far. We'd prefer more to less.

CRAU APPLICANTS: Answer these questions for the character straight from their canon point first. If the answer would've changed in their CRAU, describe that change.

Who in your character's canon influenced the most growth in your character? What do they think about this character?
Explain which event in canon is most pivotal to your character's development, and who they are today.
Your character must live with only one sense for a year. They are allowed to choose. What do they pick? Why? How do they cope?
What does your character think about physical appearances? Are they the sort to meticulously primp themselves, or could they not care less?
What is your character most afraid of?
What would your character say is their best trait? What is truly their best trait?
What is your character's biggest ambition at their current canon point? To what lengths would they go to see it to fruition?
What would it take to truly upset your character, enough that they would act upon their feelings? Are they the sort to forgive?
What is justice to your character? How important is it to them?
What would be your character's lowest, darkest moment they've lived through? How did they respond to their troubles and face their demons?

Inventory: List up to four items that you want to have arrive with your character (besides the clothes on their back) that are associated with them (a jewelry box; a family heirloom; a magical sword they wielded). These do not have to be items they had on their person at their canon point. However, please note: these items may not be immediately available to your character, and may be held indefinitely, depending on the potency and intrigue of the item in Patho-Gen's eyes.

Items may be up to 7 feet long, 4 feet wide—roughly the size of a tall human.
No vehicles or mounts of any kind.
No living creatures or pets.
Characters cannot arrive with an item they have no connection to. Example: Ash Ketchum couldn't arrive with Brock's pink frilly apron.
Please describe any noteworthy magical power or ability about each object.

Powers/Abilities: List any special powers or abilities your character has and describe them briefly. If they are a particularly skilled chef, this goes here too. Characters in this game arrive partially nerfed. We will clarify which powers are going to be locked away upon acceptance into the game. To learn more about what powers aren't permitted in the game, check out the FAQ. Please don't break the game. The powers/abilities section should not exceed 1,000 words. It should not be longer than your personality section.

Samples: We require two separate threads, 4 comments each from your character, for a total of 8 comments or more. Try to choose samples that highlight the character in different ways. We prefer TDM samples from this game, but as long as the sample is no more than 4 months old it may work. In lieu of two threads, we'll also accept 1 sample of setting-appropriate introspection, and 1 sample of setting-appropriate dialogue (such as a network post!). You may also mix and match these options, i.e. 1 thread that highlights dialogue and 1 thread that highlights introspection.

Player Goals: This may seem like an arbitrary question. But we want to know: what motivates you to play this character in a game? What are your goals? If you are apping a CRAU character, why bring them to another RP game? What do you hope to see happen?

Soul Choice: A most momentous occasion! Please select one of the starter Natural Souls for your character to be imbued with. There are no restrictions here, but we can also randomize a soul for your character, or pick from a list if you choose. There does not need to be a particular IC connection to justify a soul type, so follow your heart.
