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.

Roxas Application - Part One
Character Name: Roxas
Canon: Kingdom Hearts
Background: Roxas is the Nobody of Sora, born from when he stabbed himself with the Keyblade of People’s Hearts to free the heart of his friend Kairi from his body. He was born in Twilight Town and adopted into the Organisation as Number XIII. Roxas was taken under Axel’s wing and became friends with him; when Axel was away at Castle Oblivion he befriended a Number XIV of the Organisation, Xion. The three of them always ate ice cream together, but Xion kept trying to run away. Eventually, she succeeded, so Number I, Xemnas, revealed her identity as a mere Replica of Sora. Angry at the things Axel and the Organisation hid from him, and at Sora (the source of his plight) he ran away.
Setting Information: Setting is Kingdom Hearts; said setting was already added.
Portal Location: Roxas’ portal was located at the Station Plaza in Twilight Town.
Personality:As a Nobody, he lacks a heart and therefore the ability to emote… except that would be a textbook example of such a creature, and Roxas is anything but. He is normally a very calm and stoic individual. He is a hard worker by nature and literally lives for his work, tending not to take breaks to eat or relax, and can only alternate between jobs and sleep. Once distracted, however, these behavioural patterns can be broken – a quiet Roxas will fall to something controlled by anger if it’s revealed something has been kept from him, or if death is staring him in the face.
For Roxas, thinking comes naturally unless he’s enraged. He has come out of his Organisation time a smarter individual, with keen observational skills drilled into his head by his original tutor Vexen. Still, if he’s feeling cocky enough he’ll let some attitude leak through. He doesn’t take to nicknames very easily, and boasts a little.
Roxas realises that as a Nobody he can never be equal with a regular human being, and so tends to stay out of their way. However, he often finds himself watching other people with great curiosity. It hurts to be left out… so when with friends, which in his mind means ‘people who gather to eat ice cream, and laugh at things when it doesn’t make sense’, he often emulates a human without thinking. Being a person is something he wants more than anything (and he’d like to have Xion with him when he becomes one).
At recruitment, Roxas is currently trying to find Xion and Sora, and will probably only be calmed down if assured Xion is safe.
Reason for Joining: He was looking for a way out. He entered the portal because he thought Xion might be leading him to somewhere safe. Anywhere is better than The World That Never Was at this point.
Position Desired: Agent.
Point in Canon: Roxas is taken from canon at Day 357 of the game Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, just before the Xion boss fight.
Notes:
-Roxas already comes with a Keyblade, but since Sora’s using the Kingdom Key, let’s hand Roxas the Rejection of Fate+.
Roxas Application - Part Two
Gender: Male.
Age: Err... I think fifteen.
Home Plane Identification Number: H-home Plane Identi-... I don’t have time for this!
Visitor Identification Number: My number is – no, was – thirteen.
Reason for requisitioning a Gate Key: ...I want to find my friend. If she’s anywhere around here... I’m sure this Key will lead to her!
Intended use of the Gate Key: To search worlds for Xion.
Favourite Colour: ...I-I suppose... black?
Relevant World-Shattering Abilities: I’m not sure whether light powers gained in the face of adversity are world-shattering or not.
Relevant Non-World-Shattering Abilities: I can bash things around. I’ll bash you around if you keep getting in my way!
Psychiatric Evaluation Code: Well, last I checked, the Organisation didn’t have a psychiatrist.
Hobbies: I eat ice cream. I also play Grandstander.
Education Background: The elders of the Organisation told me all I needed to function. Axel taught me the rest.
Work Experience: I hit evil black things with a giant key for a year. I hope that works.
Favourite Plant and/or Animal: I... suppose I... like dogs. For their loyalty. Something... something I shouldn’t be talking about myself, to be honest.
Interview:
What brings you to Confuto Ordinatio?: I was just passing through this door... My friend has the ability to make portals, you see. I thought maybe... being the only member of the Organisation off-world, she might be...
What family members do you think were most influential into making you who you are today?: ...Axel. He basically raised me... But we were friends, not really family.
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?: ...Y-yeah. It... sounds like it...
What inspired you to apply for an Agent Position?: I’ve been a member of an organisation before. I must have been good at it; I left on my own accord, rather than being fired, and wasn't threatened with Duskhood.
What skills do you think you'll bring to this agency?: I can work and I can fight. Just give me something to do.
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: You do?
Do you have a history of meddling in affairs you shouldn't be meddling in?: ...No. I’m sure my eyes are saying otherwise right now.
Do you consider yourself a hero of justice?: Not really, but work is work and a home is a home.
Have you ever wanted to work for something bigger than yourself?: I guess having an extra purpose isn’t so bad... I just hope you’re not lying to me.
Looks like I was right. You're a great fit here, glad to have you on board!: ...
What have I gotten myself into...?
