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.
yuuta takizawa | alive: the final evolution | not reserved
He is incredibly mature for his age. Then again, considering what he's been through, it's not that strange. He knows his own limitations very well and takes care to stay within them, or mention it when others expect him to do more (there is an exception though, which was when he tried to Isolate a nuclear missile sent to destroy Tokyo but that was a last resort effort because if he didn't try, they would all die anyway). He takes his responsibilities seriously and even when it's not necessarily his responsibility, he puts all his effort into fulfilling it. He constantly offers himself to be his friends' protector even when his own life is at risk. This is in part because of the nature of his ability (being able to Isolate people and objects, so in a way he is taking them out of harm's way easily and efficiently) and also because of the fact that he's already lost one very important person in his life so he doesn't want to see any more leave him.
Despite his standoffish attitude towards his friends, he really does care for them. His friends are often motivation for his actions and willingness for self-sacrifice. During many battles, when someone is in danger, Yuuta will Isolate them instead of himself, even when he's injured, leaving himself open to be attacked. Even before they go into battle, Yuuta is always quick to offer his protection. Most of the people he ends up protecting are older than he is.
The two people who see the most of Yuuta's dual personalities is Taisuke Kanou and Aoi Tezuka. He is constantly arguing with them or insulting them or just plain making things difficult all around but through his actions when he thinks people don't notice (they actually do), it's obvious that they are the most important people in his life after his mother.
Taisuke is definitely the person who Yuuta sees as being closest to family as he'll ever get after his mother's death, more so than his remaining biological one. In a sense, Taisuke saved him the day they met. Yuuta was ready to die but Taisuke, with his limitless kindness, reached through his walls and showed him that living was the right path to choose. He truly cares for him like no other and the guilt Yuuta felt when he thought Taisuke had died was immense because he blamed himself for running away and not coming back to help. Yuuta is incredibly strong willed and never shows weakness, but losing Taisuke made him cry. Of course, he hides the fact that he's truly fond of Taisuke by calling him names and making fun of him.
There has been occasions where he will use certain things to control others although this seems to only be reserved for Taisuke, for example, blackmailing him with something stupid he's done in the past, so in a way he can be manipulative too.
Aoi is another one who gets this treatment from Yuuta. At first, it starts as a sort of rivalry over Taisuke (because Aoi claims him to be her brother) but eventually he starts to develop a crush on her. Of course this means an even more terrible attitude towards her but when Aoi's mother died, Yuuta spent days going through the trash disposal at the American base to search for a pair of shoes that her mother gave her, all in an effort to cheer her up. Yuuta is incredibly embarrassed about his feelings towards her though and whenever Taisuke jokingly hints at it, Yuuta always beats him up.
It's not to say that he has a terrible attitude towards all his friends though. He is very friendly towards Nami Kurosaki and the rest of the Tezukas. It's this friendliness though, along with his athletic ability, that makes Yuuta very popular in school, to the point that it's said all the girls in his class have a crush on him (much to the displeasure of the other boys). He does have the occasional bratty attitude but then again he's ten and usually it's his bluntness that causes this.
He also tends to have a special fondness for older, motherly women because they remind him of his mother. Examples are Ryou, whom he meets when he first meets Taisuke and Yukie, the Tezukas' mother.
It’s been noted that a Comrade’s power is a reflection of themselves. For Yuuta, his power was a result of him wanting to preserve his mother after her death, to remove her from the world that caused her to die.
Abilities: Like any other comrade, Yuuta has physical abilities that are above those of a normal human such as being able to run faster, jumping farther, more strength and increased stamina. Because of this, he excels at sports even when he tries to hold back (he was never good at sports before becoming a Comrade). He’s also able to heal a lot quicker than normal people as well as sense when other comrades are nearby.
A supernatural ability he possesses that is unique to him is his Isolation. He can create barriers around people, places or objects and make them seem to ‘disappear.’ In actuality, all he’s doing is isolating whatever’s inside of the barrier from its surroundings, making it exist in its own space. Nothing can come in and nothing can come out. The bx he creates is still there though, and if someone touched it, they can feel it even if they can’t see what’s inside. His power is strong enough to Isolate an entire building and the size and shape of the barriers are determined by Yuuta himself. The inside of the barriers have a limited amount of oxygen so he could, if he wanted, trap someone inside and let them suffocate. An interesting thing to note is that those who are trapped inside a barrier can still see the outside world as it was when they were Isolated (for example when he Isolated the shopping complex, everything outside the barrier stayed exactly the same, even time, but when he released it four hours later, it had become evening without their knowing it).
