putitherepleaseContact Info: Please give us at least one other means of contacting you.
Other Characters: You may remove this section if this will be your first character in game.
IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Western order, por favor.
Age: In years, if possible.
Canon: Links to you canon's Wikipedia entry or it's own wiki or at least something to tell us what he hot haps are.
Canon Point: Exact page numbers and panels aren't necessary, but being specific is good.
Species: Note that any species other than human will become human. Animals, aliens, even human like beings. You're going to become homo sapiens like the rest of us.
Gender: Both physical and mental.
Orientation: FILL THIS OUT IF YOU HAVE A CHARACTER THAT IS OVER 18, NO BUTS. Here at Holly Heights, we don't discriminate against anyone's orientations. That being said, if your character is gay, we aren't going to make them take a wife when housing plans are given. Gay marriage is completely legal. Please give us a short and simple reason you think they are gay/straight/bi/etc if they don't have an explicitly state sexuality. Please keep it short, though. We do know it's tempting to tl;dr about things like this. Long story short, the real question is Would your character be more comfortable with a wife, husband, or either?, so that we know what houses to place them in.
History: Links will suffice, but please write it out if the links are insufficient.
Appearance: A picture will be sufficient, but we'd never turn down a written explanation.
Personality: This should be the biggest part of the application unless your history is written out. There should at least be 3 paragraphs OR 300+ words. No links. Using old app sections for this AS LONG AS THEY ARE YOUR OWN is reasonable.
Abilites: Please note that in this domestic paradise, powers will be taken. Will you get them back? If you behave, perhaps. Please list any special powers your character has and any natural talents that they possess. This can range from flying to having nice handwriting.
Other: Anything else you'd like to include? Put it here.

testrun_box.Third Person: This is more like a log entry and action related. It should could more "he/she" than "I". Please give us at least two paragraphs OR 10+ lines or text. You may link to a musebox post or previous roleplay log for this but only if you didn't link for your first person and vice versa. Also remember that this isn't fanfiction and should act like a log post would . Just rambling on like a novel isn't writing a log. If linking, please make sure that there are at least 5 responses from your character to accurately judge. Can be taken from

IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Ky Kiske
Age: 21/22
Canon Point: After Accent Core Plus
Species: Human
Gender: Mentally and physically male
Orientation: Heterosexual. He gets nervous when girls make obvious passes at him, and by Overture, he's fallen in love with Dizzy and fathered a son with her. He has a rather...interesting relationship with Sol, but I believe it's platonic.
History: Guilty Gear Wiki
Appearance: Order uniform
Personality: Ky is an extremely devout and upstanding individual. If he believes in something, he believes in it with all his heart. He is a strong believer in God (and, being French, is probably Catholic), and is also a strong believer in the inherent goodness found in humanity. And he will avoid straying from his beliefs at all costs.
However, this also comes with a negative side. Because of Ky's beliefs, he has an extremely rigid view of right and wrong. To him, the entire world is divided into justice and injustice. Ky believes that he is implementing justice, and that justice will always prevail in the end. Ky doesn't take this belief to knight templar extremes, but he does come close.
This has been changing ever since Sol killed Justice, though. Sol's defeat of the Commander Gear -- the same being that had fought Ky's mentor 17 times, each time ending in a draw until Justice finally killed Kliff -- threw his worldview into utter turmoil. Ky could not understand how a man like Sol could do the deed when Kliff, a much greater man in Ky's opinion, could not. From the end of the first Guilty Gear game on until the end of Accent Core Plus, Ky spends time trying to figure out what justice truly is.
In the process, Ky's black-and-white view of the world gradually begins to soften. By the end of Accent Core Plus, he's almost thrown it away entirely. His time spent with Sol and Dizzy has shown Ky that Gears are not inherently evil (Ky recognizes that Sol isn't evil -- just a jackass) and starts working with people he never would have dreamed of working with before. A prime example is Johnny. In his earlier days, Ky never would have worked with a pirate. Now, though, he entrusts the Commander Gear to his care, and is willing to work alongside him to reveal more mysteries of their world, in particular the Post-War Administration Bureau.
That being said, Ky has plenty of other good qualities. For one, you would be hard-pressed to find a more selfless man. If a person is in trouble, Ky will go out of his way to save them, even if there is nothing in it for him. Usually there is, though -- had Ky not subdued Dizzy's wings, the results would have been catastrophic.
Ky is also a hard worker. He sets his eyes on a goal and does not stop until he achieves that goal. The best example of this was the five-year period in between Ky first approaching Kliff and Ky's initiation into the Sacred Order of Holy Knights. He trained like there was no tomorrow, and as a result is in peak physical condition and incredibly skilled with magic (lightning is the most difficult magic to master, yet Ky is capable of using it with minimal difficulty).
Finally, Ky is very intelligent and charismatic. He has a good grasp on the world and its history, and is also intelligent enough to know about his charisma and therefore put it to good use. Talent aside, it was these factors that got him positions as both the leader of the Sacred Order of Holy Knights and captain in the International Police Force. He also uses these gifts to secure a network of political connections. Ky uses his gifts, and he uses them damn well.
Abilites: Physical fitness - Ky is in top physical condition by human standards. The Post-War Administration Bureau report that appears at the beginning of his story describes him as possessing a prime physique.
Lightning magic - Ky is an expert at using lightning magic, regarded as the most difficult type of magic to master. His sword, Thunderseal, one of the eight Outrage, is imbued with lightning magic and further amplifies his abilities, but he's still capable of using magic (and kicking ass) without it.
Swordsmanship - Even without magic, Ky is an adept swordsman. Whether he's using Thunderseal or even a ceremonial sword, he can fight most human opponents to a standstill with his blade.
Hand-to-hand combat - Though he doesn't display it often, Ky is capable of defending himself without a weapon. This even shows itself in his fighting style in the games, where he throws punches and kicks as often as he uses sword slashes or magic techniques.
Education - Ky is very intelligent and well-educated. While he knows nothing about modern science (the subject being forbidden throughout the territory governed by the UN in his world), he is very well-versed in literature and history.
Faith - Ky is a devout -- and knowledgeable -- follower of the Roman Catholic Church. Unlike much Japanese media which portrays Christianity-like religions as corrupt or secretly evil, Guilty Gear treats the Church as a positive influence in the world, and Ky's faith is subequently treated as a positive aspect of his personality. It adds to his resolve to keep pushing forward and to making the world a better place.
Charisma - Ky possesses natural-born leadership skills, and between that, his manners, and his good looks, is able to easily draw people to him. He doesn't necessarily make a lot of friends, but many people are willing to aid him when he needs it.

SAMPLES
First Person: Anemoi tag
Third Person: Ky walked into the church, and approached the altar. Rather then walk up there, though, he knelt down next to one of the pews near the front, genuflected, then put the kneeler down in the pew and rested his knees on that. He made the Sign of the Cross, and then began to pray.
This was the first quiet moment Ky has had all week. Work was excessively hectic for the past five days, and with the accident that occurred right in front of his house on Monday, he has had little time to properly relax at home, too. For that reason, Ky took a brief break in his prayer to simply let go of everything. Nothing formed in his mind, word or picture. He focused on nothing, just for the sake of having nothing in his mind or around him.
Quickly enough, though, he ended that period and resumed his prayer. He ended with the Lord's Prayer, and then making another Sign of the Cross, sat back in the pew and looked around. He was still alone in the chapel, though Ky had come early. His prayer group wasn't expected to meet for another ten minutes. So, for now, he opted to wait patiently for the others to arrive.
