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.


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.

Character.

Name: Jiro Yamada
Canon: Hypnosis Microphone
Canon Point: After the first Division Rap Battle, Buster Bros having lost to MAD TRIGGER CREW and subsequently watched the rest of it from the sidelines.

CRAU Timeline/Game(s): n/a

World Description: n/a

Character History: link to wiki
It however is kind of sparse, so a quick rundown is that Jiro is the second oldest of the 3 Yamada brothers, war orphans that have lived their whole life at an orphanage. The orphanage changed hands a few times due to the leadership being caught in some sort of scam, and in the beginning Jiro disliked Ichiro because of his delinquent ways and spending so much time away from them.

It was after he and his younger brother Saburo got abducted and Ichiro came to rescue them that he started admiring his brother. Thanks to Ichiro's efforts, they now live on their own in Ikebukuro, where he goes to high school and works part time at his brother's business, doing odd jobs for the populace. He was recently accepted by his brother to be a part of Buster Bros, the Ikebukuro division rap battle team.

CRAU History: n/a.

Personality: Jiro is the middle brother of the three Yamada siblings. He likes to take after his brother, and has the outward appearance of a delinquent and jock. Jiro however is pretty easy going and hates bullying, usually getting into fights to protect his younger brother or perceived wrongs. He's seen to be fairly popular at school, his friends promising to cheer him on in the division battle and helping him out with tasks. He also helps out at Ichiro's business by building up his own contact network throughout the different areas, often going out on the street to ask them for information.

Jiro is basically good at making friends despite his sometimes abrasive attitude, though it becomes apparent he's pretty naive when it comes to keeping secrets. One of his contacts points out he basically gave away who his client was by reacting, not having a good poker face. He's also bad at studying and has a hard time reading complicated kanji, something that gives him feelings of inadequacy especially since Saburo, his younger brother is often labelled as a genius. He also tends to rely too much on Ichiro, hero worshipping him and taking everything he says without hesitation despite Ichiro's telling him off about it. This is in pretty stark contrast to the younger years of his life, where Jiro absolutely hated Ichiro and wanted to have nothing to do with him. His mind steadily changed though after seeing Ichiro suffer injuries to get him back and after speaking with Nemu, a sister of Ichiro's current rap partner. After realizing all the Ichiro has done for the two of them, he now hangs off of every word his older brother says, often competing for attention since he was the only long-lasting and trustworthy older figure in their life. It's clear early one he wanted a father figure and eventually started to cling to Ichiro to provide that despite being only 2 years younger.

He deeply cares about both of his brothers, even Saburo despite fighting with his younger brother all the time. Jiro used to be close to Saburo when they were little and he seems to be upset a little about how defensive Saburo has becoming, reminding him a couple times that he does have two older brothers. He's shown multiple times to immediately leap to both of his brothers' defense, Saburo more often because he is younger. In his lyrics he does say he resents his brothers sometimes for being better or being annoying, but reminds himself that they are family and that comes first.

Jiro seems to have a dislike for any authority figure-especially when they insult Ichiro-and is hotheaded enough to immediately get into fights with those he disagrees with. However, he is capable of putting differences aside and working together, as he shows with Doppo in one of the future drama tracks. He can often get pretty rowdy in arguments, though he usually tries to imitate what he thinks Ichiro is like when it comes to most things.

CRAU Development: n/a

Powers/Abilities: Jiro is pretty athletic and active for his age, shown being able to kick a soccer ball through a window with great accuracy, and even do a bit of parkouring to get away from a lady with a knife. He's fit and pretty good in a street fight even if he prefers to use his mic.

As for his mic, when he activates it, it takes the form of two electric guitars and drums with the Buster Bros logo. Hypnosis Microphones are able to turn his rap into weapons that can affect the nervous system of living creatures. They also appear to produce physical effects as well, ranging from ripping of clothing to explosions.

Jiro also has a rap ability that comes from using a mic often called Rally. He's able to borrow his brother's(or teammates) power to make his own attack even more powerful, though not much else is known about it.

Inventory: Jiro will be bringing in just the clothes that he's wearing, his smartphone, and his hypnosis microphone.

Anything Else? nothing for right now
