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.

Hayne Roderick, Breaking the mould! 1/?
Character Name: Hayne Roderick
Canon: Ragnarok Online
Background: Born to a blacksmith couple, Hayne lived a simple life of travelling with his parents, helping them in forging weapons, and goes from cities to cities. Yep, a simple standard life for a kid like him, which also means that he never stays in one place, and hence, not much are long-term friends with him. Though, there is your standard 'one-day' plot that changes your life forever, and being almost killed by a savage monster can change your view in a second when you're dying. Thankfully, a Knight saved itty-bitty Hayne from certain doom, and from that day on, the kid aspires to be someone like that mysterious knight that saved him.
Flash forward 10 year later, 18-year-old Hayne is now a fully fledged Swordsman in training, stationed in Alberta, where his parents decided to settle down and finally build a permanent establishment in the form of a workshop. After 1-2 years of patrolling, Hayne decided to get his parent's permission to travel the world, and does so after getting it. At first alone, he finds kindred spirits joining in his quest to travel the whole world and map all of them. This venture went along well, crossing the forests of Payon, the deserts of Morroc, the mountains of Mjolnir, the floating capital of Juno, the industrial city of Einbroch, the island of Jawaii, the beach of Comodo, all this are not without hardships, for even they has their quarreling as a group, and sometimes even split ups, but in the end, they always stick together thick and thin. Finally, after 2-3 years worth of experience gained and most of Rune-Midgard mapped, they all decided to finally split up for good and pursue their own dreams. Hayne, obviously went for a beeline straight back to Prontera to take the test to become a Knight, and succeeded. However, unknown to him, is that this just the start of everything...
One single day while on a trip back to Alberta, he found a man running to him begging for his help, and being a Knight, he does, and then followed the man back to an appalling site, a village razed down by monsters, blood everywhere, and most of all, a dark-armored male staring back at him with a glint of a crazy smile, at the very least, he looks like him, only more... Ghostly, the sight was only fleeting though, before that apparition disappeared, leaving Hayne with a slew od question. This marks their first encounter, him and this Doppelganger. 3 years after that, Hayne is now one of the squad leader in Prontera's Royal Squadron, and is now promoted to a Lord Knight due to excellent performance in field duties etc. During his promotion party, that Doppelganger of his managed appeared in the bar, and almost laid waste to it, if not for Hayne leaping into action, and clashes blade with him.
Long story short, Hayne defeated him, and it dissipated, leaving a blade on its wake. Grabbing the blade, which is just a simple large katana, he decided to use it for his subsequent assignments. It was not until one assignment though, that he met another one of this doppelganger, this time in the form of a friend. A battle yields him nothing but injuries. From then on, he swore that he'll get those Doppelgangers no matter what.

Portal Location: In front of an item shop in Prontera.
Personality: Hayne is a knight, which means that he is as chivalrous as he is a gentleman, not to mention that he is pretty goal driven about all this knight business, so you can probably see him training his swordsmanship quite a lot in the grounds, however, he is not a boastful man that would rub it in your face that he's a better person than you by a long shot, rather, he is quite humble in that, since there are many more people that are more skillful in this line of job.
He is also very protective of civilians that are unable to participate in combat, but doesn't hold any gender bias and would kill a woman if he must, since in the end, people are people, and genders doesn't matter in his line of job. He is a soldier, he is the sword of Prontera, he is...
A male who will get drunk when exposed to alcohol and flirt with women when in that state, although, there are some reports that he always managed to get away from bar fight unscathed, whether its true or not is yet to be determined, though getting this chivalrous man is harder than it seems, unless you plan for him to get in that state just for laughs.
Seriously, aside from that, Hayne is an explorer, and will probably turn the place upside down just for the sake of knowing each and every nook and cranny available in the place, he'll not be satisfied until he can map the place very well and/or he ran out of places he can actually explore.
3/3
Position Desired: Enforcer, while Hayne is an adventurer, being stuck in a base and one of the higher-ranked Lord Knights in his area, Hayne is shown to have good leadership qualities, and is a father to his men. Not only that, he led a rag tag group of adventurers during the beginning of his Teenagehood across the vast land of Rune Midgard.
Notes: Warning, Cute Monsters, Warning, Repetitive Quests, Warning, Monsters are mostly NSFW.
