We're so glad you're thinking of joining us in Haven, where we are all safe.

In order to apply for a canon character, please fill out the information below and post it in a comment in this entry. For an OC, please apply using the OC information. Please do not link to applications, all applications must be posted here. Please do not delete your applications; if you do not want it to be seen, you can request for it to be screened after a decision is made.

You may apply for two characters every two weeks, to a total of six characters. Only two of these may be from the same canon, and they cannot be too familiar with one another. Please make sure to mark the header of your comment(s) with RESERVED or NOT RESERVED, as well as the character name and canon. App challenges are not allowed currently.

Try to remember spelling and grammar are important, and in app length quality and not quantity is what matters.

All parts of the application must be your own work, plagiarism will not be tolerated, though you are welcome to reuse your own old applications.

If you are asked for revisions, please don't panic! It doesn't mean the mods don't like you, only that we probably need more information before making a decision. If you are asked for revisions, you will have one week to supply them.

Every attempt will be made to place a character in their chosen apartments, though this may not always be possible depending on the slots available.

Raven | Tales of Vesperia | Reserved (2/4)

[personal profile] senile 2012-12-12 01:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Personality:

" Old man? Now you've gone and hurt this old man's feelings. "

At first glance, Raven is the definition of fishy. He is often found snooping around or doing something with unknown intention, lies and slander usually paired along with it. Even as the rest of the game's party let him join along in their adventures, his motives were still unknown and it took all of them a good bit of time before warming up to the oldest of the group. Sometimes he lies to hide his true feelings, and other times he bends the truth to make light of a situation or make his own ends meet. Either way, he is rather exceptional at it except for the few rare times where he's a dead giveaway, but even then his stubbornness forces him to continue going along with whatever he makes up.

The main purpose for all of the deceit is because of his multiple purposes. It ties into his two current personas, Raven and Schwann Oltorain, both working under the two sides of Terca Lumireis-- the Guilds and the Empire. Throughout the game, his main purpose of being with Brave Vesperia is to keep an eye on them under Alexei's orders. He still takes commands from Don Whitehorse as Raven simultaneously, pinned as the messenger to pass along important information from one major city to another. His dedication to Alexei is derived from the fact that he is the one who brought Raven back to life, whom had died during the Great War. Although he is very obvious with his wishing that he was never revived, he feels like he has to compulsively follow everything Alexei tells him to do. He is also under the ever-lasting threat that Alexei may shut down his blastia heart, having had it installed when revived and acts as his life support.

Along with lying, Raven uses comedy to his advantage. It comes to him as naturally as fabricating details, often downplaying even the worst situations with his sense of dry humor. He is definitely the most light-hearted of the party, only sometimes giving away a serious tone under his Raven alias. Karol has a father-son-like relationship with him that builds as the game progresses; Yuri and Raven act as if they're siblings at times, often making the older man the blunt end of the joke; Judith is where most of his flirtations lie, but he is usually denied or simply teased to play with his head; Rita and Raven hardly ever get along, most likely due to his disliking for women of flatter chest sizes and Rita's suspicions of him. Estelle and Repede have the least chemistry with him, as he kidnaps her under his Schwann persona and little is even said in relation to that after she was rescued.

If not scheming something or cracking jokes, he is flirting with anything that has a cup-size capable of bouncing. Raven is quick to hit on the busty Krityan, Judith, and no matter how many times he is shut down, he will relentlessly continue to try and win her affection. It is unknown how serious he is with his infatuation with her, but there is definitely some type of crush on the younger female. He also sometimes attempts to 'woo' Estelle, but it is usually more playful than doing so with Judith.

He feels that he's entitled to complain due to his old age, noting how his bones can't handle the stress of walking or fighting too much. Raven cannot stand the cold as well. Everything that leaves his mouth will be about the weather, usually annoying the rest of the group. There are times where he will moan and groan just for the sake of doing so, but usually it is just talk as he is actually very diligent in a fight or under moments of great stress.

Due to his long ties with the Empire and his somewhat shorter, but still experienced memories in Altosk, he is actually a knowledgeable man that shows his true brilliance in rare moments. He exaggerates his age as he is only thirty-five, but the things he has seen and gone throughout his lifespan has more than likely put a mental toll on him, which is why he may or may not complain about it all the time. If he does say something remarkably noteworthy that makes more than a bit of sense, it'd usually be while alone or with few people nearby.
