Application
Application Rules:
-Certain characters canonically have great influence over dimensional travel (such as Yuuko from xxxHolic or one of the Data Integration Thought Entity humanoid interfaces from Haruhi Suzumiya, i.e. Yuki and Ryoko) will have a greater influence in the setting than normal, or are just extremely high-powered and can potentially affect the game in major ways. Playing one often requires some special plot integration, and require a player to have established themselves by playing another character before they will be accepted.
-AU settings are generally allowed on a case-to-case basis, but no more than one of the same character can be a permanent member of Planeocracy. If the AU is significantly different and established (such as the Genderbend of Haruhi Suzumiya) then it is generally allowed, as the characters are different enough from the main source to be distinct. Apping an AU character uses the standard application procedure, but if the AU doesn't meet our requirements, we may deny them on that basis. Here are the qualifications for if your AU is acceptable:
1. Significantly different from the source material. Minor tweaks to history and/or personality don't make an AU different enough to really be worth accepting for us. For an AU to be accepted it needs to have something major different to differentiate it from the canon.
2. Internally consistent. In most cases you'll be coming up with the AU yourself, so you need to make sure it all makes sense within the setting. So, if something changes, the whole setting obviously has to change as a result, and we need to know how.
3. This isn't absolutely necessary, but if at all possible the character will look at least somewhat different from their canon counterpart. This is primarily to help differentiate if we have both.
If you are thinking of apping an AU of a character, please get a hold of all potential castmates as well as any person playing the same character (if this is applicable). This is required for your application to be accepted.
-Original characters are permitted, they use the same application form but require far more detail as far as background and setting. If they are a part of an existing canon, they cannot have any ties to actual canonical characters or visible connection to events (attributing events in-canon to the character that are otherwise unattributed may be permissible but is generally discouraged). As with canon characters, you are limited to two OCs, even if the OCs are from different universes. Planeocracy canon originals can use any of the settings posted in the setting information post that specifically say they are open, and must conform to the general concepts of the world. It is HIGHLY advised to speak to the mod team before making the character, these characters can be rejected automatically if they do not follow the general concepts of the established world.
-You may only have one application in queue at a time. If you would like to submit a second app, you must wait until your first has been processed.
Application Template:
Looked over the community? Brushed up on all 31,561,021 Confuto Ordinatio rules and regulations? Filled out all your forms in triplicate? Looks like you're ready to get that Gate Key! Just fill out the following form and submit it to the Executive Subcommittee of Other-Planar Affairs! That Gate Key should be yours in 5-7 business days!
The following is an alternate form that can be used in place of a musebox sample post. It takes the form of an application and interview as if the character were applying for a job. Respond to the questions in-character, if you or your character doesn't know what they're asking for indicate it in some way. The character can lie if doing so is in character, but indicate they are doing it by writing "[LIE]" before the answer to the question.

Reisen Udongein Inaba 1/2
Character Name: Reisen Udongein Inaba
Canon: Touhou Project
Background: http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Reisen_Udongein_Inaba
Setting Information: You have Gensokyo information already
Portal Location: Somewhere in the bamboo forest outside of Eientei.
Personality:
For the most part, Reisen is one of the more levelheaded individuals in Gensokyo. Kind of ironic, given her insanity inducing eyes.
She'll worry about those she cares about if they go off on their own unannounced, going after them to make sure they are able to return safely. Depending on the situation, she can be forceful and it could devolve into a danmaku battle. Especially if it's Tewi.
Due to her being rather sane compared to most Touhou characters, Reisen is actually one of the more difficult to provoke into a fight. This might make her come off as a sort of 'woobie', though that sort of behavior really only comes out around Eirin and Kaguya.
Speaking of those two, she is very loyal to Eirin and the Princess. Reisen is a very hard working individual, as she takes care of numerous chores around Eientei. That's not to say she exactly enjoys it, as she often gets after Tewi for just playing around and slacking. Still, she'll gladly help her Master with any of her lab work.
Though Reisen is technically the leader of the rabbits in Gensokyo, it's rather obvious that the moon rabbit herself wasn't trained as a leader of any sort. She is usually incapable of making them follow orders, though this might be mainly because they mostly listen to Tewi.
Though Reisen can come off as unflappable, the right situation (generally embarrassing ones) can easily make her flustered. In these cases, she often stutters and makes a mess of what she's trying to say. People she knows have an easier time of getting this kind of response, though even recent acquaintances can get something of a reaction out of her if they have the right thing to say.
Reason for Joining: Clearly, Eirin believes that the matters of the multiverse are serious business and sends Reisen to assist with the problem when the moon rabbit tells her about it.
Position Desired: Reisen is totally Agent material.
Point in Canon: After Touhou 12.3 / Touhou Hisoutensoku (clearly this doesn’t mean much since she hasn’t appeared in a storyline since 10.5, but it brings her close to present time (year 2009))
Notes: You can look at my journal for samples from Netherworld, too.
Sample Post:
Name: Reisen Udongein Inaba
Gender: Female
Age: Early sixties (I’m sorry; I don’t even know my birthday)
Home Plane Identification Number: I’m sorry, I wasn’t given this.
Visitor Identification Number: I wasn’t given this either… I’m sorry.
Reason for requisitioning a Gate Key: To fulfill my duties as an agent.
Intended use of the Gate Key: The same as above?
Favorite Color: I don’t really have one…
Measurements (Female applicants only): *attached is a document from Eirin detailing more than you possibly need to know about Reisen’s measurements*
Relevant World-Shattering Abilities: I don’t think any of my abilities are considered ‘earth shattering’.
Relevant Non-World-Shattering Abilities: My eyes are able to induce insanity, sanity, or lethargy. I’m also able to use danmaku and spell cards which you should already be familiar with, since you already have others from Gensokyo here…
Psychiatric Evaluation Code: I wasn’t given one of these…
Hobbies: I like making tea…? I don’t really have any hobbies. I’m usually kept a little busy for things like that…
Education Background: Approximately fifteen years of military training in the Lunar Defense Corps, and around forty years of medical training under Eirin Yagokoro.
Work Experience: As far as actual military experience, aside from the training exercises under Watatsuki-sama’s direction, I was defending the moon against the Apollo 11 Invasion and the Lunar War.
Medically, I have assisted Master Eirin with a number of operations as well as helping manufacture her medicine.
Favorite Plant and/or Animal: Rabbits.
Reisen Udongein Inaba 2/2
Interview:
What brings you to Confuto Ordinatio?:
I’ve learned that there’s a bigger problem than what happens in Gensokyo… and Master insisted that I should use the skills I’ve learned to help.
What family members do you think were most influential into making you who you are today?:
Ah… i-if you mean my family by blood, I never actually knew my parents… or whether I actually have any siblings. But Master Eirin taught me a lot of what I know today… I definitely have her to thank for becoming the person I am now.
So how 'bout them Tenbraks eh? Eh? Catch the game? 52-7, I told Janice in Accounting, I said "those Balthims, they're just not up to snuff this year," but no, she said "I'll bet you 20 plat they're gonna take the banner." Take that bet I did, she still insists they'll turn it around though. Ain't that a riot?:
I-I’m sorry, I have no idea what you’re talking about…
What inspired you to apply for an Agent Position?:
Well, finding this place and what they’re working towards... it sounds important.
What skills do you think you'll bring to this agency?:
I have over a decade of military experience, and four decades worth of medical training.
You sound like you'll be a wonderful match, but you know, rules and procedures and all that so I've got a few more questions for you.:
That’s fine…
Do you have a history of meddling in affairs you shouldn't be meddling in?:
N-no, I don’t think so.
Do you consider yourself a hero of justice?:
Not really…
Have you ever wanted to work for something bigger than yourself?:
W-well, ah-*is interrupted*
Looks like I was right. You're a great fit here, glad to have you on board!:
T-thank you…
