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.
Leonard Snart | DCTV Legends of Tomorrow | Reserved
Name: Dog
Contact: Dogfaced @ Plurk
Current Characters: N/A
Name: Leonard Snart
Canon: DCTV - Legends of Tomorrow
Canon Point: 1x9 Left Behind. The team decides to reform Chronos, Leonard gets his hand back, and they're on their way to kicking Savage's ass in 2147.
Character History: Here
Personality:
● Strengths
Love him or hate him, the heroes and villains of Central City can't deny Leonard Snart is both a worthy ally and adversary. Leonard is arrogant, but he has the chops to back it up. Despite the fact he's not even a meta-human, he's given Barry a run for his money many times, and is one of the only villains to know Barry's identity, something he found out for himself. Even when he's caught at the end of the day, prison is just a temporary vacation. Suffice it to say, he has an ego, but it's not undeserved.
Leonard didn't finish high school, but he has a diploma from the school of hard knocks. He's an excellent planner, coordinator, and a highly intelligent criminal with a wide variety of skills, such as lock picking, appraisal, and engineering. Good at reading between the lines, he's excellent at figuring out how people tick, and finding their weaknesses and vulnerabilities so he can exploit them. While he enjoys theft, he's also great at blackmail and extortion.
He always has a plan, and multiple backup plans, in the likely case that the first one doesn't work. Because he accounts for everything, he's always ready for anything. The Flash elevated the game, and Leonard upped his own game to meet him. Although an ordinary human, he's gone toe to toe against extraordinary foes and held his own. Leonard is cool in high-stress situations, which allows him to pull off seemingly impossible jobs with just a small crew (or solo). Calculating and ruthless as he sometimes has to be in the spirit of not getting caught, he likes to have fun with it, too. He might be meticulous and detail-oriented, but when it comes down to doing something perfectly or having fun, he'll always pick fun.
● Weaknesses
Born into a life of crime, the life of a criminal is the only life Leonard knows how to live. He doesn't have respect for the law or government, because in his mind they're all just criminals in different playing fields. He'd rather screw the system than be a slave to it. Leonard harbours no guilt for his criminal actions, and even as tentative hero, has zero interest in playing by the rules.
Trust issues aside, of which there are many, Leonard is a control freak. It's his way or the highway, and he has zero tolerance for people who can't keep up with him. He doesn't play well with others, and doesn't care to. He works in a team by necessity, not by choice. He's also a diva, and an egoist. He enjoys the glamour and infamy that comes with what he does. He loves the nicknames, drama, costumes, and showdowns in the middle of the city. He loves being the arch-rival of a superhero with his own action figure. Now that he's tasted life as Captain Cold, as both a super-villain and superhero, he can't go back. The jobs he did before are boring, the enemies are child's play, and there just isn't the same high anymore. He's an adrenaline junkie, and addicted to the thrill of a good heist. All the money and power in the world isn't enough to stop him from getting into trouble, because trouble is what he likes best.
Leonard's biggest weakness is his little sister, Lisa Snart. He'll do absolutely anything for her, even if it means working with his father. He loves her more than anything, in spite of his inability to show it. Still, as Leonard meets more people, and is confronted with his own humanity and agency, he's learning to look at others as more than tools, victims, or enemies, and is gradually opening up to the idea of friends and allies.
