APPLICATIONS - UNSCREENED ( CLOSED )
this means they close at about 11:59 PM CST on the 7th
do not post applications until the subject says OPEN
APPLICATION REMINDERS;
LOOK HERE FIRST If you would like your application to be unscreened please put your application here! If you want to put your application on the screened post, put it here. Before applying make sure you read the application explanation! Do not link applications. Post them in comments! Please fill out every portion, except possibly the orientation section if it does not apply to you and the other section since it is not necessary unless you need it. ALL CHARACTERS 18+ MUST FILL OUT THE ORIENTATION SECTION THIS DOES NOT MEAN ONE WORD. IT MEANS AS IT STATES IN THE APPLICATION EXPLANATION. Only one sample must be linked. Please do not link two samples. If you are putting a housing request in please include a number. If you do not, then it will not be considered. The reason being is that simply putting a name does not help me if the character has not yet apped either. Discuss it together and find a house to put yourself in that fits with your slotting and preferences. Please make sure you run your app sections (personality/samples) through a word counter. I use this one! If they don't comply with the minimum word counts, then no dice. The age rule is non-negotiable. You can beg me to put your 14 looking character who is actually a gazillion in a kid slot all you want but it will not happen. You do not need to reply to your acceptance logged in as the journal. You just need to tell me the journal name so I can accept it to the communities.

IC INFORMATION;
Characters Name: Otoya Ittoki
Age: 17, April 11th
Canon: Uta no Prince-sama
Canon Point: End of Anime season 2, ep. 5
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Orientation: under 18, N/A
History: WIKI
Appearance:
Here and Here.
Personality: Friendly. Warm-hearted. Compassionate. Kind. Cheerful – all apt descriptions of Ittoki Otoya and all simply scratch the surface. Otoya is a young man that, despite having lost his mother at an early age, and not knowing who his father is, and despite the fact that he grew up in an orphanage, has a very positive and forward-looking outlook on life that was, in fact, nurtured and encouraged by the very orphanage where he grew up. For Ittoki, the influence that they had on him taught him how to accept the bad things with the good in life and, more importantly, put them into a perspective that enabled him to learn and grow with each new experience. His time with them taught him not only to accept others as they are, but to support and encourage them with a sincere selflessness that he himself doesn’t really realize he possesses.
His mischievous antics as a child and energetic personality lead to a plethora of interests – from playing soccer to tag with the younger kids in the orphanage to playing guitar and singing. All of his interests were encouraged and thus he’s quick to also encourage others in their interests and struggles as well.
This finds itself manifest in so many ways with the others as well – for example, his immediate and unshakeable faith in Nanami, the compassion he feels for her in her struggles, and his desire to see her succeed not for his own benefit but her own reflect that same selflessness. In Nanami, he sees her as someone that is incredibly positive, honest, and strives to always do her best, but also recognizes that she doesn’t recognize those qualities within herself and that, because of that lack of awareness, she’s sometimes a little clumsy and awkward at other times – and that, because of that, it makes him want to cheer her on all the more to see her reach her goals.
It’s an unquestionable fact that while each of the members of Starish care about Nanami, Ittoki seems to be the one that is the most outwardly focused on Nanami’s own growth and happiness rather than his own. For each of the others, there is a level of dependacy on Nanami as their source of hope or motivation but with Ittoki... he wants to support her hopes and her dreams by singing her songs.
Unlike the others, he’s not inspired by her, but because of her. It’s a subtle but notable difference.
It’s the difference that leads him to always put her first. When she struggles, he’s often the one that reaches out or goes to seek her out in order to give her either a few words of quiet reassurance or exuberant support (or both!) with an unconscious selflessness because for him, his first concern is, quite simply, about her and not now she can help him. He shows this deference for her in little ways – like often being the first to agree with her ideas, or to attempt to get their teacher to intercede on her behalf when she had rumors going about her, or even being the one to slow down and offer her a hand when she falls behind in their mad dash to catch the Headmaster. When she’s upset or distraught, he’s quick to use a kind voice and soft words to reassure – and when she needs a boost, he’s just as quick with an excited declaration in order to support her motivation.
That concern doesn’t stop at her, however. When conflict arises between the group members, he tries to understand both sides of the situation and is quick to offer both forgiveness and acceptance to the others just as equally. When they struggle, he’s quick to jump in to help, no holding back – because for him, they’re all his important friends. He approaches them all with an open heart and without hesitation and that, more than anything is his greatest strength. It makes him fearless and confident in the face of new challenges, determined to see them through and not give up and it’s that message that he hopes to convey through his music.
He has a strong sense of justice, and treats all people with an open faith and compassion almost to the point of naivety. With friends, however, he adds a deep level of loyalty to the mix so that he’s always willing to give the benefit of the doubt when needed or stand up and defend them in order to protect them (especially in the case of Nanami) even if it sometimes gets him in trouble. And failing that, he’s just as quick to try to find ways of cheering his friends up so that they can smile again because for him, he’d much rather see them smiling brightly than hurt or confused or alone.
Abilities: Ittoki is just a regular guy - no super powers or secret skills. However he is a strong athlete that loves to play soccer and excels at gymnastics. He loves to sing and play guitar, both skills that got him into the Academy and eventually into the idol group called Starish.
Other: Quotes!
“I..I love… the music… that you make! How do I say this? Your music is so kind and crystal clear… I feel like it’s you, Nanami. I… wanna sing a song that you make! Um… well.. ‘bye – I’m gonna write your name as my ‘desired partner’, Nanami! That’s all I wanted to say! ”
“I think I’m the closest to you, Nanami. If I’m your partner, I’m sure I can sing a fantastic song for our graduation audition.”
“Ever since that recording test, I’ve felt that Nanami is the only one for me. I mean, I admire her. She’s been straightforward and striving since the entrance test.”
SAMPLES;
First Person:
Here and Here.
Third Person:
A good nights sleep and a hard run first thing in the morning helped put his re-arrival the day before into perspective. Sure, they were still in a strange place and despite having left once, they were once again stuck without a way to get home, but… he wasn't completely alone. Nanami was here and they had a nice house with a big yard to stay in. Free food, too, which wasn't so bad either.
So far as being stuck someplace, they could have had worse and that makes this place not so bad at all, really.
And since they were stuck, it meant stepping up once more - first things first, he'd have to see if he could get his old job back, then see if he could get time in the recording studio - and not just for himself, but for Nanami as well. They could work together and think up new songs and maybe even a few dances to go with them! Wouldn't it be great to be able to show their hard work to the others when the others arrived or when they got to go home?
Yeah... that's what he'd do. It'd definitely give them something to cheer them up and get them looking forward again, right?
Although, he'd have to wait a bit longer to go since the music school wouldn't open for several more hours, but as soon as it was, he was there! For now, he simply began to hum to himself as he laced his sneakers, then slipped out the back door. A moment later, he was off with at a slow jog in the brisk winter air.
