This game is invite-only. See more about this in the guidelines below.
Players can also RESERVE.
Players may app at any time and this is first come, first serve. This is so there is no app rush when the apps are open. Players can app characters whenever they want to.
Please give the mods 5 days to respond. While apps have less to judge, the mods may approve them at a time that they're more available to process list additions and so on.
Overall Player Cap: 30 players
Characters Allowed Per Player: 5
Cast Cap: 8
Completely original OCs will count as a cast. OCs based on tabletop or MMO canons will count towards the MMO or tabletop canons. Big sprawling franchises count as one cast as far as caps are concerned, so Star Wars would be the only Star Wars cast. Anything Marvel would be contained under a Marvel cap, and that includes MCU, the comics, the animated shows, everything.
Versions of each character allowed: 3
We allow three versions of the same character in game, such as an AU and the canon version, or three versions from three different incarnations of a canon (ex: comics Barry Allen, animated Barry Allen, and live action TV show Barry Allen).
Invite-Only: For new players, the game is invite-only. There is a space on the app to put which current player invited you. New invites can be extended to anyone a current player wants to extend them to, including people from

rpanons. Players who don't know anyone in the game can request an invite directly from the mods. Please note "Mod invite requested" in the invite section. If requesting a mod invite, it is required to give the mods your handle and plurk name, but you can provide it in the mod contact if you'd prefer to keep it private.
Former players of games run by the head mod,
thelegion, any iteration of wilderlands, and piper90 can note they were a former player in place of an invite. Please let the mods know the player name you used at that time. New Player App Wait Queue: Any apps that come in after one of the caps is met will remain in a wait queue and will be processed when a player slot is available.
A new player app in the wait queue counts as first come, first served. As long as a character is listed in the wait queue, current players and any other new players that come along cannot reserve or app that character. If a cast is close to being capped, a new player app in the wait queue also reserves a cast slot.
Reserves: A reserve also reserves cast or player slots. Reserves last 7 days.
Current Player Wait Queue: As long as cast and Character version caps aren't met, apps will be processed regularly. Any apps that come in after a cast cap or Character version is met will remain in the queue and will only be processed when a slot is available.
Wait Queue Reserves: An app in the wait queue counts as first come, first serve. As long as a character is listed in the wait queue, current players and any other new players that come along cannot reserve or app that character. If a cast is capped, or the cap for Character Versions is met, an app in the wait queue also reserves the next slot available.
Reserves: A reserve also reserves cast, character version, or player slots. Reserves last 7 days.
Not sure what to put in the "Canon, AU, CRAU, Canon OC, or OC?" section on the app below? the Here is an explanation of character terms to choose from on the app.
Canon: This is a fandom/canon character pulled directly from the piece of media they're in. If someone were to play Spider-Man directly from the comics he would be a fandom/canon character from the original universe he exists in.
AU: Alternate universe. This is a fandom/canon character with an altered personal history, introducing changes that effect who the character is. If you were to play a version of Superman who never met Lois Lane and it wasn't a take from any of the comics, that would be an alternate universe version of Superman. This is not an alternate version of the character from existing media. So Superman from the comics and Superman from the live-action movies both count as Canon, not AU.
Canon OC: An original character based on a pre-existing piece of media. This can be a tabletop character based on a tabletop game system. It can also be an OC from a pre-existing piece of media, like a completely original Pokemon trainer from Pokemon.
OC: An original character. This is a completely original character that comes from a completely original world, rather than using another canon as their point of origin.
CRAU: This term is one that attaches to the other character types rather than standing alone. A CRAU is a version of any type of character that was previously in another RP, and is carrying over their memories of the old game. They are able to remember their CR (Character relationships) from the old game but must follow the game's rules about the character mentioning it. They are altered from their original form (so they are alternate universe). Usually these characters started as their initial character type and then changed by gaining experience from the past RP.
CRAU overlaps with the other character types, because every type of character can potentially be brought over from another RP. In that case, the player should list the initial character type and that they are also CRAU. For instance, if I were to bring Scooby Doo from another RP with his memories of that game, I would list him as Canon/CRAU. If I brought an OC from a past game, I would list OC/CRAU. If a character started as an AU in a past game, I'd list a character as AU/CRAU.
Both new player and current player apps may close on occasion due to RL holidays, mods going on vacation, and other mitigating circumstances. They may also be closed sometimes during particularly complicated gamewide plots that would create difficulties for people introing characters. These closures will be temporary.
❇ Before Apping, please visit both the PLAYABLE CHARACTERS and MYTHKIND AND POWERS pages to make sure your character is appable and to figure out their powers.
❇ You may app as many characters at a time that you want to play, as long as they don't exceed your 5 character slots.
❇ If you only have one character and you're swapping them out for another, please note on your app and your drop post that you're swapping out so we don't think you're giving up your player slot.
❇ If you app for multiple characters from the same canon they must not have a lot of direct involvement (ie they can't be close siblings or SOs or anything like that).
❇ Apps are judged for that character as first come, first served.
❇ In the subject of your app comment, please put "NEW PLAYER APP" or "CURRENT PLAYER APP" before the character's name and canon.

Character Name: Character Name
Fandom: If canon, canon OC, tabletop OC, or crau, list the character's canon

POWER SELECTION
MYTH POWERS
Do you want your character to have the baseline myth powers listed on the Myths and Powers page? If so, do you want them to have all of them or just a selection?
GAME POWERS
What game powers do you want your character to have? This can be canon powers, entirely new powers, or a mix of both. Please list this as a very basic list. No descriptions of powers or how you'll balance them are needed. The mods will simply ask if we want more information, or let you know of a default limit to a power we want to put down.
If using powers from a canon where the powers have some kind of unique name, please list the powers with more colloquial language. For instance, if you were apping Aang from ATLA, list powers as "Manipulating earth, fire, air, and water" instead of "Bending all 4 elements."
Remember, you can keep powers simple! This can literally just be a list.
ABILITIES
Please list any abilities independent of any meta-powers or magic here. Martial arts, wilderness survival, diplomacy skills, etc.
The mods just want to know this for plot-running in the future.
ADDITIONAL INFO
Any additional info you think it's important to include. You can use this space to ask the mods if certain weapons, gear, belongings, or animal companions can be brought into the game with the character.

❇ Please give the mods 5 days to respond.
❇ For new player apps that are submitted after the cut off for the player cap to be filled, we cannot give estimates on how long it will take to get into the game, as this depends on any natural drops that happen. However, when a player slot opens, we will ask the player if they're still interested in the game and process the app.
❇ For new players, we consider a new player slot reserved by an app until the entire review process is over, so if we ask for revisions, your slot is still reserved until the mods make their final judgement of the app. However, if we ask for revisions, you will have 2 days to respond. After that, you'll forfeit the player slot reserved by your app and we'll move on to the next app.

GAME POWERS
BAG OF HOLDING - Dick can access a small pocket dimension through use of something that closes, such as a compartment in his gloves/boots or a bag with a zipper. The pocket dimension can hold up to 500 pounds and is about 64 cubic feet in volume. He can find anything that he's put in the pocket dimension by thinking about it and it will come to his hand when he reaches in. What can be put into the pocket dimension is limited by the opening of the item he uses to access the dimension. As long as it fits through the opening, he can get it in and out. Though it is possible for people to get into the pocket dimension, there is only enough air in it for one person to breathe for about ten minutes.
IT'S NOT THE FALL THAT KILLS YOU - Dick can't be killed by a fall. He doesn't necessarily land on his feet and it will probably still hurt, but falling from any height can't kill him.
ABILITIES
Peak human condition - Though there's nothing superhuman about him, Dick is to be the greatest human acrobat in DC and the only person on Earth who can do the quadruple somersault on the trapeze. He has fantastic core and arm strength, agility and hand-eye coordination. His gymnastic and trapeze training started at a very early age, which was only built on by his superhero training with Bruce Wayne.
Martial Arts and weapons training - Dick is a master of various forms of martial arts, including aikido, kung fu, escrima, Capoeira, judo, hapkido, taekwondo, jujitsu, karate, jeet kune do, savate (French kickboxing), sambo (Russian martial art centered on wrestling), ninjutsu, bojutsu, and Western boxing. His primary weapons are escrima sticks, with his current weaponry made of an unbreakable polymer. He is also skilled with thrown weaponry, as evidenced by the use of both his own wingdings as Nightwing and Batarangs as Batman or Robin.
Computer skill and hacking - Though Tim and Barbara are the family computer experts and hackers, Dick is also able to hold his own when necessary. Like Tim, though, they're probably not much use to the game.
Languages - As a combination of his early years in a very multicultural circus as well as the finest education Bruce Wayne could provide, Dick is fluent in Spanish, Russian, Mandarin, and Cantonese. As a result of his time with Kori'ander, he's also fluent in Tamaranian. He's also conversant in American Sign Language, French, Italian, Persian, and Kikuyu (a Bantu language). He also knows bits and pieces of Romany, though he's very out of practice.
Various Bat Skills
Trained by Batman in escapolgy, criminology, fencing, stealth, and disguise. He is shown to have the natural ability to read body motion as Cassandra Cain does. He is able to anticipate and predict a person's actions and tell if somebody is lying. He also possesses a will strong enough to protect himself from telepathic attacks. He's also a master of espionage, though that was put on display more in the later ongoing, Grayson. Dick was once widely accepted as the second greatest detective in the DC world, behind Batman, due to his own fantastic feats of deduction. Now, as Batman, he'd still consider himself the second greatest detective in the world behind Tim.
Non-Bat Skills - Dick is the most personable of the Bats. His interpersonal skills are the best in the family and he is the one who keeps the lines of communication open with other heroes. He's been the leader of several iterations of the Titans and was even the leader of the Justice League once. One of his greatest skills, though, is in rallying, unifying and inspiring other heroes, to the point that an alternate Superman even says that it's a great honor to be vouched for by Dick Grayson.
Additional Skills - Sleep? What is sleep? Dick survives on coffee, cereal and whatever Alfred puts in his freezer. High pain tolerance is just a normal thing for the Bat family. They're all very good at ignoring their own pain in order to help others. Dick can and will make things worse for himself if nobody sits on him. Between Batman survival training and camping with Roy Harper, Dick's pretty decent at starting a fire, bow hunting, finding or making makeshift shelter, identifying edible plants and the like. Just don't allow him to cook. See what Dick normally survives on.
ADDITIONAL INFO
Dick will be arriving with his puppy, Haley. Who will spend her time at the North Pole. Though puppy has her own power of invulnerability because puppies cannot be hurt, this is a fact.
Also, Dick's inventory:
Nightwing uniform - body armor specially made by Mr. Terrific to be thin enough to wear under regular clothing. It's bulletproof and stab resistant. Boots and gloves have built-in compartments that hold the items that he needs. Currently this includes lockpicks and extra earbuds for communication. The mask has lenses that can switch from one-way (hides his eyes) to infrared to allow him to see opponents in the dark or after smoke bombs have been thrown.
Escrima sticks - Nightwing's weapon of choice is two escrima sticks that he uses primarily to disarm and knock out opponents. His current sticks are also multi-purpose, containing smoke pellets, grapple line (to turn the stick into a trapeze grapple swing), and flares. They can also connect together to become a makeshift bo staff, meant to be passed off to Tim Drake when they fight together.
Consumables - Inside the gauntlets, boots and escrima sticks are:
Smoke pellets (6)
Tracers (6)
Wingdings (modified Batarangs) (3)
Rebreather (1) - provides 2.5 hours of oxygen
Flex cuffs (6)
Lollipops (3)
