* If a thread in a network post has 'gone offline' or 'become action based', you may continue the action part in the same thread, but in general, any action interactions should be done in the logs comm.

premise.

A thin line connects each dimension, each world, each human, animal and plant. These lines all connect and form the nexus web - that maintains, sustains and creates life energy. The life energy flows from the Nexus World and death energy flows back in to it to be reborn again.

This never ending cycle has come under threat and the spirit energy of the Nexus World needs help. Those who wish to destroy the Nexus Web and pull apart the seams of the dimensions and worlds have inadvertently given the Nexus hope. By attempting to change the very essence of the web, souls sometimes get pulled inside and attracted to the Nexus World.

As these souls do not belong naturally to the Nexus World, they reawaken and find themselves in a Temple.

Those of the Nexus World all feed the web with life energy via copulation and for the newcomers, the same is asked of them. However, the Temple Elders all understand that these newcomers did not arrive here by their own will as those who lived here previously did. They, therefore, created a reward system that if enough life energy could be created in their central and pivotal world, they would sacrifice the energy required to send them back.

If your character does not want to feed the life energy, they can still carve out a happy existence in the Nexus without pressure to give a helping hand.

“Life and death are two parts of one whole, as are the soul and the flesh."

what does this mean for my character?

Your character has fallen afoul of the unexpected side-effect of The Brethren's attack on the Nexus Web. Whether they came directly from their home world or took a little side trip to a new world along the way, your character will be sucked in to the cycle of life and death and travel to the heart of all worlds - The Nexus.

Arriving at the first world, the newcomer is identified as being one who was pulled here rather than choosing it after a death and they will be looked after and given some choices. Where to live, whether to aid the Temples, whether to go forth and find employment - the only thing they cannot do is send you home voluntarily. That is up to the Web and the Web alone.

You have been brought to the Nexus World. Good luck.

fandom character application.

This is the application form for any fandom character you wish to apply for to join the

nexus.

Please make sure you read the Rules and FAQs first.

OOC Info
› Your Name/Handle: What we should call you.
› Personal Journal: Your personal journal on DW, LJ or another blogging site, if you have one. 
› Other Contact: Any contact information you wish to provide in case we need to get ahold of you. AIM, Plurk, email, and DW PM are all acceptable. You must include at least one.
› Other Characters Played: Self explanatory. Put "N/A" if you don't have other characters in-game at this time.
› Your Age: Only players age 18 and older are permitted to apply. Comments on the application page are screened, so no one will see this but the mods.
› Reserved?: If you have reserved, please provide the link here.

Character Info
› Canon: Please also note here which kind of media it is.
› Character Name (First, Last): Must be in Western format, regardless of where the character is from.
› Canon Point: From what point on the timeline are you taking your character? Episode number, chapter number, route, end of a certain volume, in-series date, etc. We need this because it may affect your character's actions or knowledge. If you are apping this character with previous game memories, include both their point on the timeline in canon and from what point during/after their previous game stay.
› Character Age: How old is the character? Estimate as well as you can if canon does not explicitly state anything.
› Sex/Gender: The character's physical sex in canon, and gender in the case that they identify differently.
› Appearance: Include a brief description of the character. You may write this out or link an image. Characters who are not already 18+ at their canon point will be physically aged up to 18, so note any changes that will be made to their appearance.
› Suitability: This section is required for all characters regardless of age. Explain using canon information why your character is suitable for the mature setting of Nexus. The younger the character is in canon, the stronger of an argument you will need to make. This is important and we will ask for a revision if you've left it out or what you've written isn't sufficient. Simply stating the character is 18+ is not enough, and will earn you a revision request.
› History/Background: Here you need to provide details on your character's history and background. You may write it out or provide a reference link. Please be thorough if at all possible. We will ask for more information if what you've supplied isn't sufficient.
› Personality: We need at least 350 words. Habits, speech patterns, psychology, traits, etc. Everything that makes the character recognizable as them. This is the most important part of your application. Please include at least one paragraph at the end about how they will react to Nexus and the mature nature of the setting. This is important and we will ask for a revision if you've left it out or what you've written isn't sufficient.
› Previous Game Memories: A minimum of two reasonably sized paragraphs. The longer your character was in that game, the longer we expect this section to be. Be certain to detail any important aspects or experiences your character went through in that game, important relationships formed, and anything else that would dictate the way the character developed. Obviously characters will grow and adapt, but we still expect changes to remain within the scope of the character even with such developments. You may link to publicly accessible content from their previous game to show examples if you like, though this is not required by any means. If you are not apping a character with previous game memories, put "N/A".
› Sexuality: State the character's orientation and back it up with a few examples of evidence found in canon. If there is absolutely nothing to go on as is the case with some characters, you may put 'unknown'. This section may be a maximum of 200 words. We'd like to see some thought put into this. Keep in mind that while CR can influence a character's orientation and change it, particularly in sex games, any changes should still be realistic for the character.
› Abilities/Powers/Skills: Is your character great with technology or do they have supernatural abilities or strength? Are they a trained fighter? Do they have extra keen hearing on the level of a dog's? This is where you talk about that. 
› Items: Most characters will not arrive with any items, including clothing. There are, however, some exceptions. If there is an item that is essential to your character's well-being, e.g. a cane they need to walk, you may list it here so they can find it when they wake up in Nexus. You may also list any weapons or magical items important to your character. These will be in the care of the Temple Elder when your character arrives, and will soon be returned to them.
› Additional Notes: Anything else we need to know about the character?
› Sample First Person: At least 150 words, or 30 comments or more made by your character. The sample should show a good example of the character's voice.
› Sample Third Person: At least 250 words of third person prose. Do not use action brackets. It is more important to focus on the character's thoughts while they do whatever they're doing. 
› Do you agree to abide by the rules and guidelines outlined on the Rules and FAQ? This question is here to make sure you've read everything you're supposed to. If you haven't, please go do it now. Stating "Yes" here means you acknowledge that you have read these and that you agree to follow the rules as stated on them while in the game. Please answer it seriously. These informational pages will always be around for reference, and if you have any questions that were not answered in them, you may ask in the FAQ post.

Character Info
› Character Name (First, Last): Must be in Western format, regardless of where the character is from.
› Canon Point: From what point on the timeline are you taking your character? Be as specific as you can since your History/Background write-up is our only source of reference.

samples and notes.

Applications are always open, and the mods will process them regularly. Some may take longer to process than others due to familiarity and our need to research. You may play up to five characters at a time, but as long as you abide by that, there is no limit on how many characters you may apply for in a given period of time. We will change this if it becomes a problem, so please keep it in mind. You may play up to two characters from the same canon as long as they aren't too close.

Be certain to mark the subject of your app's comments to include CHARACTER NAME, CANON (or OC if the character is one), and RESERVED/NOT RESERVED.

You may use for your samples any threads or posts from memes or other games as long as they fit the sample type's requirements and are less than a year old. Multiple threads are fine within reason. Threads made in

nexustestdrive are also fine. Simply link to them in the appropriate section.

If you are asked for revisions, don't fret! All it means is that we need more clarification or information before making a decision. You will have one week to supply us the necessary revisions. Two revisions will be allowed before applications for that character will close for the player.

Sample applications can be found here: Fandom Character App, Original Character App.

All applications are to be made in comments to this post. You may use multiple comments if required. Do not link to applications. All comments are screened for privacy.

Please only post your comment once you have the application ready in full.

temple npcs.

● Dievas Senelis
pb: Giancarlo Giannini

The High Priest of Body, he looks like an older middle-aged man who has seen much. He always wears a black toga with burnished gold adornments on his sandals and on his head. He has an air of wisdom yet distraction, giving the feeling that were he not so busy that he would be a real fountain of knowledge.

● Dalia Dievaitė
pb: Andie McDowell

The High Priestess of Spirit, she looks like a middle-aged woman who is sensual and wise. She always wears a white toga with silver adornments on her sandals and her head. She gives much more of a focused feeling when speaking with her than Dievas does and she soothes the soul of whomever is in her presence.

● Acolytes

There are many acolytes in both of the temples, all wearing either a black or white toga with green adornments. They are all helpful and many have silvery eyes.

the brethren.

The Brethren are still a mystery. No one, not even the Elders, knows who they are or why they did what they did. Only time will tell what may be revealed of them.

earth lands npcs.

high master of the guild - Žiemininkas Vėlės - Damu

A Nexian who has not allowed his skin to take on a silvery sheen, only his eyes flash silver in starlight. He prefers to remain underground, using networks of tunnels to feed information and channel it back to him.

He is like a great spider in a web of lies and truths and only he can unspin them all. When the elders require knowledge the Temples cannot provide, it is Žiemininkas they turn to.

water lands npcs.

high master of the guild - Atrimpas Dugnė - Hyetal

Atrimpas is a beautiful male with silvery skin and hair. His eyes are a pale blue with silver flecks. He claims to have been reborn in to the Nexus many times over since time immemorial.

He has lived and worked in Hyetal for many lifetimes and is a pioneer in Nexian technology.

air lands npcs.

high master of the guild - Auštaras Praamžius - Iapyx

A Nexian malewho has striking features and seems to almost shine with a guiding light. He knows the winds better than any and can pull them around him when he needs to and even ride them.

He has innate magical abilities and he is a great scholar. When new magical techniques are brought to the Nexus by those who come here, he greedily soaks it all in. Some say he is almost as powerful as the elders themselves, but is that just a rumour?

fire lands npcs.

high master of the guild - Gabija Kibirkščių - Oya

A Nexian female with silver streaks through her fiery red curls. She was a fighter in a former life before she came to the Nexus many lifetimes ago.

While most Nexians were pacifistic, she continued to train and based herself in Flagrate. It is thanks to her that the town is the centre of any martial art in the realm. She relocated to Oya to head up the guild.

the circle river npcs.

Important locals in this region will be revealed as the area is explored.

wishes.

Wishes will not be immediate or granted often, but there will be occasions when the magical well deep in the Water Lands will have collected enough energy to grant the seeker's desire. This wellspring is connected to the Wishstone.

To have your wish considered by the Wishstone, you must journey to the source of the well and bathe in the magical energy. Some of the life-force you have generated will be taken from you and added to the mystical waters.

You then must travel back to the Joined Temples of Body and Spirit and place your hand on the Wishstone. If your wish is granted, it will brighten from a deep, undulating blue to a bright sky blue. If it has not, the colour will not change, but the energy you have given will be remembered by the stone.

how to get a wish granted.

To have a wish granted, the character must ICly make this quest. It will take time in-game and will only be granted to those who have generated enough life energy for the Nexus Web (this will be decided on a case-by-case analysis as for example a wish for a pet dog would need greater energy to grant than a wish for a specific tome).

With regards to time taken, this will be on a changing basis. If your character is in the Fire Lands and going directly there then they will take less time than someone taking a scenic route. Both will take longer than someone from the Water Lands to get there so feel free to play around with length of time taken.

You can also have an odd side-effect of bathing in the mystical waters if you wish to affect your character on a temporary basis which can also be asked for here (cursing characters).
