applications.
Applications are currently: OPEN.
As of April 2021, Redshift is a sandbox game! We still have apps for some degree of quality control, but the form has been simplified to streamline the process for new players. Here's how it works:
▶ New Players joining us after April 2021 will need to submit an application for their first character coming into the game by using the appropriate form below. This is so we know who you are, and so we can make sure your character will be a good fit for our players!
▶ Returning/Current Players who have been with us since before April 2021 or are coming back to us only need to claim their character using the form below to bring in new characters. New players may do the same after two months.
▶ Returning/Current Players who have been with us since before April 2021 or are coming back to us only need to claim their character using the form below to bring in new characters. New players may do the same after two months.
Application Guide.
▶ Submission Format: All applications must be posted to this entry, and must fit within one comment with a subject line in the format of "CHARACTER NAME | CANON | RESERVED/NOT RESERVED." While applications should not be linked in the entry, players may link to an alternate source such as a wiki for the character's history and powers; for original characters, the world history may also be linked from an alternate source such as an entry on the character journal.
▶ Accepted Character Types: Fandom Characters, Original Characters; CRAU is welcome and encouraged. Please see the Rules & Game Standards page for more in-depth explanations of appable, non-appable, and case-by-case characters.
▶ Application Verdicts: Applications will receive a verdict of ACCEPTED, REVISIONS, or DECLINED. Revisions must be submitted within 48 hours of the revision request being sent out. If this is impossible due to extenuating circumstances, please contact the mod team. Declined applications can be reworked and resubmitted during the next application cycle. If an application is declined 3 times, it cannot be resubmitted.
▶ App Challenges & Reserves: Redshift will not have application challenges, but if you would like to apply for a character that is on reserve, please submit the application with "not reserved" noted in the subject line, and your application will be considered if the reserved application is declined or not turned in by the end of the application cycle. Applications will be processed on a first-come-first-served basis.
▶ Character Limits: Players may have a maximum of 3 characters in the game; the option to increase the number of character spaces may become available at a later date. A player may submit up to two applications at a time.
▶ Samples: Linked samples should be from a publicly accessible source, and no more than 1 year old. Screencaps or transcripts from locked sources are not acceptable as samples, unless the character is being apped as a CRAU from a locked game, and in these cases permission from the other participant(s) in the thread must be obtained and submitted as screencaps along with the sample. All samples should represent the character as they are being applied for; for example, samples cannot come from an AU setting or break the fourth wall (Dear Player, etc.) As long as they meet this criteria, samples from other games, museboxes, memes, other websites (Tumblr, Insanejournal, etc.) or any other source are acceptable. For CRAU samples a link from the character's original game would be preferable, in the form of a link to their tag on the relevant communities, or specific thread links.
Submit an Application.
To submit an application or claim a character, please fill out the information in the appropriate text box below, and paste it in a single comment in response to this entry. Applications should not be linked, though portions of them may be if a bulky history or world section would put them over the character limit for one comment.
Jacob Frye - AC Syndicate- Reserved
Name: Jon
Contact: discord nileflood#8396
Current Characters: n/a
Name: Sir Jacob Frye
Canon: Assassin's Creed Syndicate
Canon Point: Jacob was transported out of London just after he and his sister have defeated Crawford Starrick under Buckingham Palace, at the end of the main storyline of the game.
CRAU Timeline/Game(s): Jacob has spent 6 in-game moths in City of Sin, although it feels a hell of a lot longer.
Character History: http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Jacob_Frye
CRAU History: Jacob decided to take his anger out on the world when he arrived in the City, having come from an earlier canon point after killing love interest Maxwell Roth. Seeing the disparity between those in the slums and those in the City proper, he reformed his gang the Rooks with local ne'er do wells to steal from the City and redistribute. That wasn't quite enough to keep Jacob from trouble, and after some pretty spectacular benders, terrible affairs, and no small amount of injuries, he fell in with a group of decent souls and began to sort himself out.
Personality: Personality: Jacob is a rash, violent, passionate and stubborn 21 year old from Victorian England, trained from the age of six to be an assassin by his father Ethan Frye. Jacob could not be any less like his father and his twin sister, who are studious and logical. Jacob acts first, and thinks later. He lives in the moment and has brilliant ideas, but can't deal with real future planning.
It seems that his interest in being an Assassin really lies in battling evil in society, whether in the form of the Templar Order or other corruption, and he has no interest in the First Civilisation, the Isu, and their Artefacts, nor does he care for the history of famous Assassins, unable to recall their childhood lessons when his sister mentions them.
Jacob first and foremost fights in the here and now, with the problems that are in front of him, and is clearly considered a loose canon. He wants to get in and get the job done and doesn't care if he has to kill a lot of guilty people to do so.
CRAU Development: Jacob arrived in City of Sin angry, hurt and confused. He'd come fresh from murdering love-interest and Templar Maxwell Roth, and being dragged into a modern city with it's own problems and complications left him unable to grieve or process what had happened. He fell into even worse habits, drinking and fighting in the City's Coliseum as well as planning to assassinate the City's ruling class. But having re-formed the Rooks, he found something to focus his energies on.
He formed a close association with several long-term residents of the City who encouraged him to try and put down roots. This slowed his self-destructive tendencies, helping him recover when friends and lovers disappeared from City of Sin, people such as Edward Kenway who showed him that no matter where a man has come from or the wrongs he's done, he can turn things around and do good.
Jacob decided to try and emulate Edward in that. Instead of drinking, fucking and fucking his time in the City away, his gang began to really work as a force for good, pushing back the drug dealers and traffickers, fighting demons that plagued the streets and offering shelter to those that needed it.
He has found new things to focus on and new things to protect namely his friends Angel the Siren, Connor Kenway, and his lover Charles Smith.
Powers/Abilities:
Inventory: Jacob arrives with the clothes he stands up in: his hat, his coat, and his weapons, which are always tucked about his person, and his phone from City of Sin.
He carries two knuckle dusters, a leather gauntlet which conceals a blade, as well as a grappling hook which helps Jacob climb tall structures. He normally also has smoke bombs, throwing knives, hallucinogenic darts and electrifying grenades, but we'll assume those have been confiscated.
He also has Bark, a gun built for him by Angel the Siren during their time in the City. It shoots bullets as well as lightning.
Anything Else? Any extra info we might need about your character, ability, CRAU, etc.
