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.
Re: Joe Hibiki | Gatchaman Crowds/Insight | Reserved
Joe is a Gatchaman! His power mainly consist of creating and controlling fire. When transformed, he has fire spewing out so he can do a lot of damage, and that ability carries over even in human form to a certain extent (like lighting his cigarettes).
The majority of his powers come from the NOTE, which is equivalent to his soul. A mysterious alien named JJ manifested the soul into a shape of a notebook to turn the person into a Gatchaman. This NOTE is the device used to transform the user into a Gatchaman, as well as the one weakness for the user, since it is their soul after all. You can't kill a Gatchaman easily but if you damage the NOTE in some way, the holder will receive heavy/life-threatening damage as well. When transformed as a Gatchaman, the NOTE can be seen attached to the holder's back, which as mentioned, would be the vulnerable spot. Joe experienced this first-hand when he was defeated by Berg Katze, where Joe almost died after Katze pulled his NOTE from his back.
Other than being a part of the holder as well as a transformation device, the NOTE also acts like a communication device, where what you write in the pages will be transmitted to all other holders of their NOTEs. It also has a handy feature of making the user invisible as well (Amnesia Rewind), where it makes non-human things including the Gatchaman invisible from the human eye except to other NOTE-holders.
Joe's G-suit enables him to fly when he spreads his wings from his back. He also has an assortment of attacks he can use listed here, but not limited to the ones listed there already. An extra move he uses in Insight is called "Volcano," where he unleashes a powerful flamethrower attack from his abdomen area.
For a less magical aspect of his abilities, he seems to have an okay aim with darts. He's a graduate of a top-ranking university, so he's also extremely smart that he finishes his work before lunch break.

New face here, name's Joe Hibiki. I'm from the same world as Sugane Tachibana and Hajime Ichinose. Don't remember signing the lease to this place, but oh well--what's done's done, not use crying over spilled milk. Might as well make it worth something during the stay, however long it'll be. If you got any questions about me or the world I'm from, just direct them to Sugane, I'm sure he'll be happy to answer for me. Not much to talk about myself, really.
I'd be lying if I said I'm perfectly fine: kind of at a loss of what to do now. I'll figure out something, I suppose.
You guys have any recommendations of good bars around here? Preferably with one that has darts.
To the family members: Hope you're fine with being on your own, I'm willing to bet it's better than having a guy like me take care of you.
Third Person:
Joe wasn't sure whether to like this place or not. This place had a different flavor of chaos than the one he saw back in his "home world" which was one part of reason he wasn't sure. While it seemed like it was more peaceful than Tachikawa City at first glance, it held its own set of problems. Unlike Tachikawa City, though, Joe didn't have any sort of attachment to it other than his two teammates that are currently residing in this strange place, so his ambition of achieving world peace was having some trouble taking this world into account. Not to mention the owner of this world took his NOTE away. He had even less of a chance to resolve this current situation.
"...'Home away from home,' huh." Joe mumbled to himself, swirling his cocktail glass. He lazily gazed at the small amount of alcohol within the glass in silence for a moment before giving a scoff.
What a joke. It's nowhere like home. Not when his NOTE was now gone. While Sugane and Hajime were here, his friend Alan wasn't. That was probably the biggest difference to him, and that difference made it so much harder for him to adjust to this world. He finished off the glass before taking a cigarette out, lighting it. He took a long drag from it before slowly letting a breath out, watching the smoke disperse into air.
"This is going to take a while to get used to." He told himself, running his free hand through his messy dark green hair in slight frustration before placing the cigarette back between his lips.
