Welcome to Awash's applications, and thank you for your interest! Before applying, please be sure to read the FAQ!
For new players, there is an application cap of however many applications will bring us to the game cap of 80; we will only be reviewing the applications received that fit into that number.
For current players, there is no cap. Please feel free to submit an application for your second character if you would like to; that application will not count towards the application cap.
- Please note that a reserve is no longer required to app, as we will not be having a reserves round before application rounds any longer with the small number of slots that are open!
- Please paste your app into the comments; do not link to your application. This is for the sake of fairness when judging applications.
- Please do not delete and repost your application. That makes it difficult for the mods to keep count of how many applications have been submitted!
- If you receive revisions, you will have 48 hours to submit your revisions before the application is automatically declined.
- If your application is declined for any reason, you may contact the mods here or via PM for more information; however, there is no guarantee the decision will change.
- Applications will be processed twice: once halfway through the app round, and once at the end of the app round.

Whatever they have on them plus one (reasonable!) item of the player's choice. Pets/Pokemon/etc can be brought along, and don’t count as an item. Please don't try to bring in things like jet planes, for example! If you're not sure, feel free to ask! Please mark which items are on the characters' person, and which item they're bringing in as extra.
Color: Please choose between red, blue or yellow; this can be chosen due to aesthetics or personality reasons. Please explain in a brief sentence why you chose that color. You're welcome to choose a particular Hexadecimal code if you have a preference, so long as it has not already been used in game, and fits within one of those three colors. Please do not choose a shade of green, purple or orange, as those will have a different role in the game!
Sample: Links to threads from within the last 6 months with at least 5 replies from you -- enough to get a sense of the character's voice and motivations. TDM threads are easiest but not required.

Please choose one, and give us plenty of information to work with (wiki links help too)!

For further clarification, please see this question here.

Berkut | Fire Emblem Echoes
Name: Jae
Contact: PM
Current Character(s): None
Character Info
Character's Name: Berkut
Character's Canon: Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
Character's Age: 17
Canon Point: Post-Act 4: Border Battle
Background/History: The finest llama of Rigel, here to stir some drama.
Strengths:
A royal of the Rigelian Empire must be assured in his own strength; for Berkut, who has no shortage of pride in his achievements, this seems an easy feat on the surface. He leads his men with full confidence in their cause, never cowering away from a challenge, especially on the battlefield where he charges in before anyone else. A proud ruler is also unshakable, and he turns away from those who would tempt him into compromising his values. Striving to be self-sufficient, he hones his prowess to walk the walk as much as he talks the talk.
For all his prejudice toward commoners, Berkut is beloved by the people of Rigel (and intensely popular with its women) for good reason. Rinea, his fiancée who hails from a disgraced household, recognizes that he is just and righteous: He treats the nobles equally, doles out praise to his allies as appropriate, and scorns dishonorable practices under normal circumstances. His honesty runs parallel to his distaste for deception, which sets him apart from the corrupt nobility and faithful.
Berkut has devoted his entire life to ascending the throne, insofar that he has no identity beyond the scope of his title. Rather than taking his inheritance for granted, he toils away at earning the seat of emperor, building a reputation as Rigel's finest general for his efforts. He believes in strength acquired through one's individual merits, and none takes his tasks more seriously than Berkut himself as he sets out to accomplish more than he already has. While they seem selfish, his aggressive ambitions are entirely appropriate—and perhaps exemplary—to the culture of Rigel, making him something of a model citizen.
Weaknesses:
Following his mother's strict intervention, Berkut smothered his timidity and headed into the opposite extreme with an unbridled sense of self-importance. Inflexible and haughty, he sorely underestimates the commoners serving in the Deliverance and pays for this error with humiliating defeat. Even then, he presents some difficulty in assuming total responsibility, blaming Alm for his misfortune instead. His uncle the emperor aside, he'll not tolerate being lectured by those beneath him and turn a deaf ear to what he doesn't want to hear, even if those words might benefit him in the long run.
For it was engineered through his upbringing, Berkut hasn't the capacity to handle an ego so large. Pressured by his birthright, he frets—excessively. Every failure is a mark against him that his pride can't handle as he agonizes over his worthiness. As early on as his first slip in the story, he desperately seeks to redeem himself before his uncle; this insecurity surfaces in his competitive streak and hair-trigger temper when he feels threatened, later culminating in paranoia once everything he believes in crumbles apart. Ultimately, the pathological need to prove himself is the start of his undoing as he goes against all of his values in the pursuit of power.
Raised to put might before all else, Berkut considers working together with another party unthinkable. It isn't that he can't operate in a team or doesn't get along with others, because he can and does—it's that he refuses to lean on anyone, believing that doing so would weaken him. The only people he trusts unconditionally are his (mostly deceased) family and Rinea, which leaves him very short on support systems and allows his other flaws to fester.
Powers/Abilities: A skilled wielder of the lance and shield on horseback.
Other Noteworthy Traits: Other than riding on horseback at the speed of a tortoise in Heroes, he can dance. And, of course, he's well versed in the subjects necessary for a ruler and a general to know.
Weapons & Other Special Inventory:
- Mother's ring
- Lance
- Shield
- That horse with the uncanny eye color
Color: Red. Berkut's primary color of association is blue, but his is a fiery spirit and Duma's possession gives him a reddish aura in Act 5.
Sample: Some loser struggling with a stack of firewood and his tenuous grip on dignity—
[ OPTIONAL ] World Aspect: N/A
