Currently working on my Application, it may required a considerable amount of time for its completion but i'll try my best to write a proper one for such an amazing Rp.
Cool. And i hate asking for explinations, but could someone explain the OP in the IC thread? I think i know whats going on with my guy but im not sure about the rest.

Puella Magi Madoka Magicka is an awesome, feel-good, cutesy anime. You should watch it!
So, im confused about whats happened so far, dunno why, so i'll put what i think happened, and you can correct me if im wrong.
There are five NPCs- Kael, Kekkara, Amsi, Eide, and Crysa, (If they arent NPCs then im just bad at remembering names.) the last of which has just opened an artifact and will soon have their powers. Also, im confused about Crysa's gender, "A young man takes the box", and nobody takes it from them. Crysa opens the box, implying they're the young man. But then it says SHE vanished. So, boy or girl? Or did i miss something?
Anyway, the group goes about what they will until their leader appears. Eide stole some stuff for Tetra, and "A boy covered in scarfs" (Hael?) is following my character for saving their life.
The main reason im confused if because of all the NPCs and so few PCs, itll be hard for me to keep track.

"Here Crysa, and that makes eight. " A second figure took the box from Kael, a young man dressed from jaw to toe in ash coloured robes
Crysa is a girl who takes the artifact from Kael, a young man.
The young boy covered in scarfs is younger than Hael. All your other facts check out.
Think of it like a story. I wont mention someone in detail if they're not going to reappear, you'll have plenty of time to wrap you head around things. In the meantime just focus on the character following you.
16 || Male || ??? (He can only pinpoint it to a year)
The Wanderer
|Personality|
He is, in short, someone very defensive but will do anything needed in order to survive one more day. Placing his own well-being first, if he knows something bad is happening he'd run if he could. He is very unloyal and since the incident has even given up on the "gods" as well. However, there are a few exceptions to this. Those who help him out and ask for nothing in return hold a place in his life, even though it may only be temporary. Not caring much about his own name as it only brought despair, he never told anyone.
|Likes & Dislikes|
-Likes: Food in general, give him something that may seem inedible to a middle-class person and he'd eat it in a second.
-Dislikes: Every person who looks down upon him, and the snobby rich-class people. He feels as if he doesn't need pity or need any whispers going around him although he'd just be referred to as "a boy."
|Strengths|
- Analytical: His life as a street rat has taught him many things. One was to think of ways to escape in any way.
- Fast: "Outrun those merchants, those salesman that are selling what I stole. And outrun the guards, soldiers, and anyone who tries to stop me."
|Weaknesses|
- Tunnel vision of his life: He is relatively unable to think about ahead of when the next meal will be stolen and eaten.
- Self-centered: Almost everything he thinks about is himself. If he likes someone, he likes someone because they help him out for nothing in return. If anyone asks for something in return, running is his first instinct.
|Fears|
- Being caught by an authority: Generally, his life would end shortly after that time. His appendages would get cut off, not allowing him to steal his food anymore.
|Combat Style|
Swift and speedy, he is able to dodge many things but he rarely pulls out his knife. Preferring to skip combat and straight to the running away portion, he is not very skilled in using his dagger. Unlike the picture shown above, he is a back-handed (dagger pointed outwards and sideways) and is right-handed.
|Ability|
The ability to make no sound and leave no traces. If he concentrates hard enough whenever he steps or interacts with his surroundings, no sound is made. By default though, any traces that he'd normally leave (footprints and other things like this) is not there at all.
|Price|
Ren
|Equipment & Weapons|
13-inch dagger (stolen of course)
A Burlap Sack where he keeps his food
A small waterskin (barely half the length of his forearm)
A cloak (as seen in the picture)
An Apple
|History|
I don't know my name. I don't know when day I was born. I do know most of everything else, but I'd rather not delve into it too far. Before the "incident", I lived with my family. One mother, one father, probably a couple of siblings as well. Sad thing is, I never remembered their faces even before my choice. This is probably a lot more skeptical than you think, but I can explain.
You see, my choice had nothing to do with me remembering my family or their names. I was barely a toddler when it all happened. Nowadays, I look back and wonder why I was the only survivor of that incident. If you could even call it that. But I knew one thing since that day, I was alone from then on. You see, all I remember from that day was screaming and yelling and no god to come and save my family. What I remember of the next day was that I was found by a group of people. They taught me everything that I'd learned up to this point, how to be a street rat.
I mean us thieves are pretty cold-hearted. But eventually you find the diamond in the rough who is kind enough to take in a toddler and raise him as your own. OR maybe he just raised me in order for me to get more things for him. I don't know. I never got the chance to ask him. Run more, run more, get that apple, run more, scoff it down, rest. Pretty much what the first thing I remember being trained from him was like. Now I don't get tired from running much as I do it almost everyday, but I also don't do one thing that I used to do back then. Say my name.
Now I don't know my name, not anymore at least. No one does either. New slate. Blank slate. You see, stealing became a profession for me for a short while. I stole for the money, not for the survival. It was a good life, my adopted father and I had food on the table. Until when IT happened. Usually they give me a description of what it looks like, the location, they pay me half in advance, I steal it, they give me the other half and I give it to them. There was just one problem. In my last job, my target kind of broke.
I needed to steal from a caravan. So nothing new, right? I watched them for a while, waiting for them to stop at the outskirts of town. When most of them were sleeping, I searched through the carts until I found what I looked for. It was a weird ceramic box. Not really large either, just small enough for me to carry but big enough to be noticeable if you walked around with it.
Remember how I said most of them were sleeping? Yeah, a guard was standing right behind me. When I grabbed the box, I turned around and saw his ugly face. I was planning to drop it and run, keep the money when he slashed out at me. My first instinct once again, was to run. Then, something weird happened.
Time seemed to slow down, really disconcerting voice, blah blah blah. In short, I was ready to soil my clothes when I found myself unable to move and run away from the thing. "What price will you pay?", I heard the voice say and found a few things in front of me. Five people it seemed more like. Well, five me. Anyways, they all gave me a description about them, what would happen, their promises. Ib and Ba told me that I'd never see death, Sheut told me that I'd never remember something that apparently overshadowing me, and Ka just promised me great powers. I just wanted to get out of there. But Ren, it spoke to me more dearingly. "You'll never be remembered by this guy. You can get away fine." I foolishly grabbed at Ren.
A few weeks later, here I am. Completely forgotten by my clients, completely forgotten by my adopted father, completely forgetting my own name. I'm back to the lowest of the low, I want to find a way out.

((Now, I know first Ren character but I hope I added some nice things into it. I know some parts may seem a little rushed compared to other applications, but I was confused on multiple parts of the RP. I've been watching it for a while now, and only decided to apply now. Hope you like it!))
Ooh, this looks very interesting. I'd post an app but I'm busy with schoolwork at the moment and will probably sleep the moment I finish.
The ability I have in mind for my character is mind read-y in nature, though at least IMO the way in which it works would be somewhat balanced (though it may break Plot Things maybe). Mind if I send ye a PM to dispute it?

Did something happen to you in your childhood to give you this unreasonable fear of rutabaga?
Well, just for confirmation before I make this post. Since my character's price was ren, could it become that you guys were actually my last clients who asked me to steal the box or no? I mean it'd make sense why you don't remember him because him being forgotten by all but himself.
I'd like to ask a question about creating a character in this game.
Am I allowed to create a character that didn't sign a "deal with the devil" by opening one of the "Pandora's Boxes" and trading one of the aspects of himself for a supernatural power(my RPG characters in general tend to be suspicious about anything that gives them an overwhelming advantage(be it a fortune, an extremely high social status and ESPECIALLY supernatural powers) and seems to come at very low or no price, analyze situations they get into, question everything and have an independent worldview; also, I believe that the human body and a soul is a tightly-connected system, removing one major aspect of it basically dooms it over time).

I guess this should start soonish.
Please. Also link the IC thread when its up, please.
Sure, I'm ready.

Really quick question- is my character part of the group? Probably, but i want to be sure, since nobody but the scarf boy is interacting with me.
The evil group only has 1 PC. Hael. The rest are NPCs.
First pageclaim! Also this is to make sure this thread doesnt get buried under the pile of threads so far that we cant find it.
Sorry for being dead. Travel is killing me.
Sometimes I wonder if it's all too easy.
Lying, cheating, stealing your way to victory.
Though just how far would you fall for a dream?
