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.

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

Current Character(s): N/A
Reserve: Here!
Character Info
Character's Name: Yusuke Kitagawa
Character's Canon: Persona 5
Character's Age: 17
Canon Point: End of game/just after the final battle
Background/History: http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Yusuke_Kitagawa#Profile
Strengths:
Loyalty. Yusuke possesses an unprecedented capacity for loyalty. Whether this loyalty is to Madarame, who he staunchly did his best to defend even while he knew things were wrong… or if it’s to the Phantom Thieves, he would do anything that he could for someone once they earn his loyalty. Ann notices that the paintings Madarame plagiarized from Yusuke convey frustration and anger but Yusuke says nothing about it out of his loyalty. His Confidant with the protagonist has the protagonist helping him with his artwork and later with fighting through his art block and realising what it is he truly wants to express through his heart. He refers to the Phantom Thieves as his ‘rays of hope’, and utterly believes that they will help him whenever he is in trouble, for any reason. He looks to them as people to guide him as a person and that is how he expresses his loyalty to them and how he views them in words.
Observant: Though admittedly not the most emotionally observant, Yusuke has a keen eye for detail. He is able to recognise flaws in his own work, especially his art, and adds elements that he believes will complete them. He also recognises right away the real Sayuri even when he’s surrounded by counterfeits of the same painting—his eye for art, but his observant nature applies in other respects. He recognises things people are doing and he even recognised what Madarame was doing, but wasn’t able nor willing to explore that further until the Phantom Thieves came along. (His strong sense of loyalty shackled him in one place, ironically.)
Artistic: Almost goes without saying. Yusuke’s an incredible hand when it comes to art and artwork, and his passion for it is vast. He dedicates himself completely to it, even forgetting about something like feeding himself in favour of buying, oh, this new easel or that new sketchbook. He’s almost to that starving artist stage. Just about there. He doesn’t like when others try to make him conform to other ways of art or try to force him to do things, like his unwillingness to design a tattoo even with the situation the Phantom Thieves had been in. It wasn’t what he wanted to do, so he wasn’t going to do it. (He ended up doing it, at least.)
Most of the time when he’s found in-game, he’s in the subway and he watches people or he sketches them, and his most favoured options for outings involve the Ueno Art Museum.
Weaknesses:
Obtuse: As mentioned above in his strengths section, he’s not super emotionally observant. This goes from sheer obliviousness to just plain rudeness. There was absolutely no need to rearrange Futaba’s things, but did he do it in canon? Absolutely. And then he went and argued with her over the whole thing, citing his own sense of aesthetics. It’s not necessarily that he has a close-minded way of looking at the world, but he’s been looking at the world as though through a narrow gap much of his life. Then Madarame and the Phantom Thieves shook that up further. He’s insensitive and almost completely dismissed the protagonist and Ryuji when first meeting them, preferring Ann for her aesthetics and not affording them near a similar amount of politeness.
Uncertain: Like most people, Yusuke’s as susceptible to uncertainty and doubt as the next person. During his confidant especially, he expresses to the protagonist about how he feels as though he’s lost the way that he’s looked at the world up until this point. That Madarame has somehow tainted him and his art. It does come out in his art as well, for he takes a moody spin on his pieces up until he’s shown differently. It’s so bad that it completely throws him into an art block in his confidant and we see him getting a little desperate in his attempts at breaking free from it.
Eccentric: Yusuke’s eccentrics tend to distance him from other people. He’s acknowledged in canon that people see him as eccentric, but he’s not sure on how to rectify it. His way of speaking is… let’s just say it errs on the side of archaic. He’s flowery and dramatic and uses metaphors that aren’t really relatable to a general audience. Though he’s generally polite, his ignorance of societal norms and what you do and don’t say shows. He could stand to have a filter and he could also stand for not following people in boats and commenting over what they’re doing, completely erasing the actual truth with his own interpretation of it. It wasn’t at all appropriate to talk about siblings passionately gazing at each other nor was it appropriate pretending to be Jesus on the cross in the church to try to “understand his suffering”. Which he does, because of course he would. At times his work is eccentric for the sake of being eccentric, but he has learned quite a lot in being with the Phantom Thieves.
Powers/Abilities: He has a persona, Kamu Susano-o, that specialises in both being a physical and an ice abilities attacker. The abilities of the persona (beyond just attacking) include:
Masukaja: Buff party agility for 3 turns.
Bufudyne: Heavy Ice damage to 1 foe. Rare chance of Freeze.
Mabufudyne: Heavy Ice damage to all foes. Rare chance of Freeze.
High Counter: 20% chance of reflecting a physical attack.
Vorpal Blade: Severe Physical damage to all foes.
Brave Blade: Colossal Physical damage to 1 foe.
Evade Fire: Triple evasion chance against Fire attacks.
And, while he’s going to have a weapon with him, it’s not… a real weapon? In the Metaverse and Mementos, whether or not the weapons actually works depends on the perception of its user. So sorry, Yusuke, enjoy the fake gun and sword. It’s hard to say if he’s really skilled with his sword, either, though he demonstrates some prowess with it in battle (is it actually your aesthetic sense of how sword-fighting should look, Yusuke?).
Other Noteworthy Traits: He’s artsy af. He’s excellent at colours, aesthetics, so on and so forth. He can apply it in sketches, in paintings or in (unwilling) tattoo design. He’s going to care very, very much about the world and about the lack of colour in it. One of his abilities includes creating blank cards with skills on them in order to teach personas. He can... technically cook and understands cooking but he likes experimenting which leads to... interesting combos.
Weapons & Other Special Inventory: He’ll have a fake gun and a fake sword… his phone, the usual accoutrements on his clothing (like his set of keys), but otherwise not overly much will be coming in with him.
As an extra: a sketchbook and a set of simple art pencils.
Color: Blue, and hex #4d4dff… It’s his aesthetic. In addition, his Persona as well as most of his usual outfits all contain blue in them to some degree. As a colour, blue symbolises loyalty, stability, wisdom and truth and so on… most of which fit Yusuke himself.
Sample: TDM thing, but also a musebox thread
