Canon, CRAU, and Obscure Canon Characters

Player Information Name/Alias: (Give us something to call you) Your Journal: <user name="YOUR JOURNAL"> (Do you have a personal journal account on DW? If not, put "N/A") Age: (If you don't want to give a specific age, please note whether or not you're over 16.) Contact Information: (Please give us a way to contact you!) Characters already in the game: (If you have or have had characters in the game already, please list them here and indicate if they are current or former characters. If you're new to KL, please put "N/A") Character Information Character Journal: <user name="YOUR CHARACTER'S JOURNAL HERE"> Character Name: (Full name please, first, middle, last, and any canon nicknames as applicable.) Character Canon: (Please be specific. Some canons have more than one continuity. For example, Transformers G1 Cartoon is different from Transformers IDW comics) Age: (If you don't know a specific age, then give us a general idea. Are they young for their kind, old, etc.) Race: (Are they Cybertronian? Human? Something else? Let us know) Timeline Pull Point: (Please give us as much context as possible, such as including a short summary in addition to the episode/issue number.) Canon History: (We will accept links to a wiki for Canon Characters. However, in lieu of a link (for characters with short wikis or without much canon information), we would like to see a summary of the character's past in your own words. Try to include as little headcanon as possible. In the case of OCCs, we will obviously need more than just a wiki link!) CRAU History: (If your character is coming to KL with previous game history (CRAU), then we need to know what their history has been since pulled from canon. If your character is straight from the regular canon, you can ignore this section.) Personality: (Please be clear, concise, and complete. We're looking for at least two or three paragraphs to show you know this character well.) Powers/Abilities: (What special abilities does you character have? Assume we know nothing about them or their species. Please include any skills or qualities of note, ex: "experienced sniper", "genius level intelligence", etc. Please note that overly powerful characters will have some of their power dampened. Please still list ALL powers and abilities, and if you have suggestions on limitations or how to dampen the character's power, please include that as well (they may not be necessary). We will inform you of any further changes needed to powers if it is deemed necessary.) Inventory: (What is your character coming in with. If these items do special things, be detailed in describing them! And be reasonable regarding size, Haven is massive, but it still has limits. Refer to the App FAQ for more details.) Writing Samples (These should be stand-alone samples. You may re-use samples from other applications you have written, but we will not be accepting links to previous threads/museboxes/dear-mun posts or other such things. The samples should be visible on your app.) First Person Sample: (A first person sample should show us how your character communicates, be that text, audio, or video. This could be their reaction to waking here, them calling for assistance, or some other such scenario. We're not looking to just see reactions, though, we want to know how they talk to others, so this sample should be one in which they're aware they're talking to others on a network, or at least trying to communicate with a certain person.) Third Person Sample: (This should be a few paragraphs of prose-style action. It should focus on your character, and should offer some insight into their thought patterns, the way they interact with the world, and overall should give us an idea of both them and your own writing style. We like to see creativity used here in preference to the rehashing of a canon scene. This is your opportunity to show us how your character thinks and acts within a scenario of your choice.) Final Notes: (Need to cover anything that hasn't already been covered? Use this spot. Or just ignore it if you've already gotten everything.)

Canon AU or Fandom OC

Human? Something else? Let us know) Timeline Change Point: (Please give us a much context as possible, such as including a short summary in addition to the episode/issue number.) World: (Be as detailed as possible. Tell us a bit about the original canon world and the world as it stands now, or where in time your character fits. Canon AU? What does the world look like now? What sorts of changes have occurred since that one big change in canon? Was your character's best friend murdered in episode 4 instead of becoming their biggest support and inspiration? Have they become the villain instead of the hero? What's their story now? Fandom OC? Where do they fit into canon? Remember, a Fandom OC is allowed only minimal contact/relations with canon characters, and should have little to no affect on the canon timeline. We would still like to know when/where they're from, canon-wise. Describe the world they're from, be it before, during, or after canon.) History: (Be as detailed as possible. Your character is either from a completely changed canon, or fits into an existing one in ways that leaves it unchanged. Tell us about their experiences, their impressions of canon events (unless they're from before canon), and what their plans for the future are. Make sure you're clear on their pull point - what is the last thing they remember before they ended up pulled into KL?) Personality: (Please be clear, concise, and complete. We're looking for at least two or three paragraphs to show you know this character well.) Powers/Abilities: (What special abilities does you character have?

Character Information
Character Journal: [Bad username or unknown identity: http://swissarmyninja.dreamwidth.org/]
Character Name: Shadowmaru
Character Canon: Brave Police J-Decker( Fifth in the animes of Brave Yuusha that japan aired) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_Police_J-Decker
Age: 21 build years. (Basing on show first air date to current)
Race: Yuusha Brave
Timeline Pull Point: I am pulling Shadowmaru at the series end- "Farewell Boss." Episode 48- Where Deckerd ends up coming back/staying on earth after everything is said and done with the Fahrzeugs.
Canon History:Shadowmaru's history starts with his training with his prototype/brother Kagero whose sole job was to hone Shadowmaru's skills at being a ninja. Later its pointed out that Kagero also helped him get the tank form-which wasn't actually in his initial build plans.

He'd had to defeat his brother who'd gone seemingly rogue shortly after making himself known to the Brave Police team, but instead Shadowmaru allowed Kageros escape. Only to lose Kagero to a madman whom had initially seemingly wiped his AI chip and installed him into a submarine. Maru was unable to save his brother but his brother allowed him to escape the sinking submarine with what little awareness he still had.

Having no ability to unite with any external equipment or team partners for a short period Shadowmaru seemed somewhat antiquated or at least he felt something along those lines. But his courage proved to be his strongest suit as when he seemingly was defeated in protecting the city-the galactic police the Hijiss gave him an upgrade into the Brave Cannon to save the day and restored him.

Like the others in the battle of the Fahrzeugs, he evolved beyond his programming.

CRAU History: N/A
Personality:
Seemingly stoic at first Shadowmaru is actually quite personable-just very laid back. He isn't easily riled unless you hit the right 'buttons' and does have somewhat of an ego. But he is very respectful especially once his respect has been earned. His heart is in the right place and his sense of honor knows no bounds. He'll lay his life if that is whats asked of him to uphold justice, even if it means fighting his own brother to restore the peace.

Not one to stir the pot if something upsets him more often then not he keeps quiet about it unless he's piqued, otherwise he'll go brood in privacy. Appreciative of the care of his friends he recognizes when care is shown to him and doesn't blow it off. Especially when its from Yuuta (lil boss as he calls him) as he knows the boy genuinely cares for his feelings. He may get aggravated at some selected team mates but its out of care.

Maru does have a mild sense of humor and quirks that he displays depending on the situation at hand, not hesitating to bonk some sense into a team mate if its needed or humoring the more fun loving of the group in play.

Powers/Abilities:
Shadowmaru is the resident ninja of the Brave Police. Created early in the Brave programs development, he was trained by his prototype(brother) Kagero. He is a multi-changer, capable of mech form, police interceptor, jet, tank and doberman(that he refers to as a wolf).

Also later in the series he was temporarily able to turn into a large gun/cannon however due to the time in the series that form appeared and when the series ended it is unsure if it was a permanent addition to his shifting capabilities, as it had been added by the Hijiss(space police).

Maru is the one sent in when stealth is needed as his multiple capabilities make him efficient in retrieving information or tracking someone down. He is very intelligent and observant, being a ninja.

Inventory: He is only coming with his standard weaponry depending on the form he shifts into. Shirukens, katana, police issued pistol primarily as a mech. His tank form has a built in cannon, and his jet form basic guns. Interceptor I cannot recall any arsenal so none in that form. Should he be capable, he himself turns into the Brave Cannon. (Though for RP purposes due to uncertainty in cannon if he retained the ability I will not be playing him with the capability to turn into it anymore)
Writing Samples
First Person Sample:
Please don't cry boss. Seeing Yuutas face filled me with a sense of sadness. The boys tear streaked face being what I thought was going to be the last thing I ever saw. Strangely there was no pain, but I've heard somewhere death was painless. That you hit that point of numbness and detachment the suffering just stopped.

I was a mech built unintentionally with a heart, yet meant to be replaced should something like this happen. I was okay with my fate, accepted it as I'd done my duty. My friends were as safe as I could assure and I'd done my best to protect our city. My systems started dying out as oil continued to run in thick rivulets down my armor, the dark viscous fluid staining the asphalt I laid on. As my visuals went dark a memory came forward in my processor. One of the few times I'd ever seen him smile and it filled me with a sense of determination, even as everything finally shut down.

Kagero I'm coming.

Third Person Sample:
To many other cities the sight of a giant robotic doberman running down the road would have been quite a fright. But in their home city the Brave police were welcomed and while it got a few startled looks there wasn't any panic anymore. Shadmowmaru knew he stood out, but the ninja at the moment didn't really care. Navigating the streets carefully he was sure to at least not cause an accident. The mech preferred the keen senses of his canine form, as it also allowed him to fit in the Tomonagas small yard. Which came in handy since Deckerd was usually in the small carport they had if Yuuta was home. Sitting in the alley just didn't seem all to dignified in his opinion, but the reasoning for him showing up at Yuutas residence wasn't going to take long anyways.

Yuutas eldest sister had a birthday and while the stoic mech wouldn't ever really want to admit it he had a soft spot for the woman, as well as the other sister. Having been informed usually a gift and a happy birthday wish was usually what one did for friends or family he'd decided to come do just that. But embarrassment filled him realizing he might not be quite able to verbalize it when he saw her. One might attest it to him trying to be macho, when in reality he just had never done it and the normally confident mech wasn't keen on embarrassing himself should he blunder.

So when Yuuta's sister came out there was a simple flower that looked picked from somewhere, elegantly placed on a large but not abnormally so card that had been painstakingly signed by the mech on the porch. How he'd pulled that off she'd have to ask him later.

We are happy to see your interest in our game. While reviewing your app we came across some things that either need to be changed, clarified, or are missing. Please update the following:

+ First Person Sample - While we loved the sample submitted, it's not what we're looking for. For the purposes of the game your first person sample would be what we'd consider a video/audio/text post. Rather than the character's thoughts and introspective, show us how they speak to others. This can be them asking for help, commenting on their surroundings, or even texting with a friend. The sample does not have to be set within the game's setting, though you are certainly welcome to use the game's setting if that would be easier for you.

Please let us know if you have any questions, and reply to this comment once you've made the changes. Thank you!

[The ninja mech gives a dirty look at the patrol-mech]

You aren't serious. Tell me you're not serious.

[he could feel his optic twitching at the mech on the comm screen.]

I am not doing that, I may have lost some dignity but I'm not going to resort to that I don't care you don't want to do it, I'm not playing escort.

[Shadowmarus head bows in frustration]

Why do I have to be the only rational one on the team? No, Gunmax-don't answer that. You're very well aware why I'm asking that you baka. Tell Deckerd he owes me for this.
