We have put up example Weapon abilities in the application section.

It's difficult to gauge what is overpowered and what might not be with the large variety of possible abilities available. If you still have questions after looking at the examples given, don't hesitate in emailing the mod account with the ability you have in mind.

working on the app and...

[velvet-iron.livejournal.com]

I was directed over here to ask. So - I'm apping for Tifa Lockheart from FFVII and I'm looking at the weapons or meister section.

do you have one or the other you need more?

I don't have a preference for Tifa. While she's excellent support and enjoys it, thus making her a good weapon - she's also very used to being in a position of responsibility and being a quiet guardian, and thus would be happy as a meister as well. Do you have one type you need more than the other at this point?

[soul_mods]

I think we're pretty even at the moment, actually, so you can choose whichever you prefer! It's really kind of you to ask though! Thank you! :D ♥

Any particular reason why the HMD meme is required? I'm not... comfortable with HMDs in general and however polite any one is, I'm not fond of the fact that bi-monthly it seems to be required to post on a meme, of all things, just to pass an AC.

[soul_mods]

We had it in place before the current mods came to the modteam, and it had never been a problem so far. It makes it less likely for people to breed resentment and start wank (concrit) and also works as a constant love meme (poscrit). We've had very few complaints if any ever since the HMD was set up -- on the contrary, people have often told us that they like the system -- so there was no need to remove it. And it also opens the mods up to suggestions and stuff that would not normally be given. The game-wide HMDs are f-locked only to the community, so only those playing in the game are capable of seeing and responding.

Quick question about the Meister apps. Do we have to choose 3 abilities? I've played here before and I like what you guys chose for my character. Is there any way you guys could just choose again?

[soul_mods]

If it's the same character, then there are no problems with that at all! Just make a note in with the abilities section so that we know. If you're returning but with a new character, then you can put down three abilities and make a note to which one you prefer the most.

[gainstrive.livejournal.com]

I realize this is a little late but!

I know the apps have been changed since the last time I apped, but if I am re-apping a character that I've previously played before, would it be alright to re-use certain parts of the old app? Or would I have to rewrite the app again?

[soul_mods]

You may use as much of your old app that you'd like! However, make sure that you follow any changes made to the application requirements since you've dropped (we've changed them quite a bit in the last few cycles!). As long as it fits the changes that we've made, feel free to reuse whatever parts of your app that you'd like!

I hope that made sense!

Hi, I'm apping this month, and I had a question concerning death with my character. I'm apping in Kanda Yuu, from D. Gray-Man, and he has inherent recovery abilities that are kind of concerning. He can heal any injury extremely fast-- which I imagine isn't a big deal, but I"m not sure-- and it's canon that when he dies, he regenerates and comes back to life within 6 minutes.

I'm not sure as to how this will work out with the "you die and have to reapp" rule. I'm not even sure if this ability is too godmoddy for this game? If you could please get back to me soon, that'd be fantastic. Thanks so much for your time.

[soul_mods]

All abilities, including rapid regenerative ones, are sealed on arrival into Death City. The abilities characters have in their canons are stripped from characters, and they're replaced with the ability to either become a meister (with their ability) or a weapon (with their abilities).

If your character dies in the game, he will need to be reapped.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi! I have a question about the meister abilities. If I can't come up with three from the list that was linked that I think would work well, is it okay for me to suggest an idea that I think might be able to work?

[soul_mods]

Yep! Feel free to submit a new ability, and we'll let you know if we can accept that ability in!

[metaphand.livejournal.com]

will you guys allow ocs someday 8(

[soul_mods]

At the moment, we are not considering it.

[hexappeal]

HEY THERE GUYS
is it okay to just link to previous threads from soul_campaign for samples (if it's for the character you're applying as) if you were a prior member? OR NOT AT ALL HEY HOW ABOUT NOT AT ALL SOB I still have my old app that I can be a lazy jerkface and just copy/paste from, but I'm very unsatisfied with those samples. Also, did I mention lazy? Because I am.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. HERE ARE SOME BOOBS.

[soul_mods]

We have new sample requirements for the third person sample in the application form, so please follow that. If you are opting to have Zatanna come back with all of her memory of her time in Death City intact, we would prefer it if you made a first person sample more suitable to that scenario instead of just linking us old threads.

[dontcallmynamex.livejournal.com]

Hello~ Does "basic" clothing that Shibusen pays for include seasonal (i.e. winter coats) and event based things (i.e. Halloween costume, cruise swimsuits)?

[soul_mods]

Yes, Shibusen will pay for seasonal/winter clothing and things like the more basic swimsuits -- whatever is in the department store. However, they will not be paying for the halloween costumes.

[killiana.livejournal.com]

I have a question about canon abilities carrying over into the game's setting.

Would it be acceptable to adjust them down by limiting the number of times, how long, or how much energy is costs to use an ability, instead of just making them weaker? For the character, I'm considering I feel it would ultimately be both easier to keep track of and more balanced for both myself and others if some of his abilities were limited in this way.

[soul_mods]

This would depend on the abilities in question. All supernatural abilities are sealed on entry to Death City, whether they are genetic or magical in nature. For all other types of abilities the character in question might have, they are approved/denied on a case-by-case system.

However, if you decide for your character to be a Weapon, then you can incorporate up to 4 of your character's abilities as their Weapon ability. If you decide for them to be a Meister, you can take a look at the Meister ability page for an appropriate ability, or suggest one to the Mods.

Erm erm I'm sorry if I'm asking a stupid question but what's a DEMISE network Dx?
(Don't skew me D: )

[toouterspace.livejournal.com]

Why is the Soul Perception page locked? I was hoping to give it to a character I'm apping down the road, but I'm confused as to what it all entails.

[soul_mods]

It shouldn't be! Can you give us the link so we can fix that?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm probably just braindead, but I don't entirely understand the section of the application that asks what weaknesses a character will lose or gain in SC. Could somebody possibly elaborate that a little more for me, or at least explain what sort of weaknesses can be gained or lost?

[soul_mods]

In regards to the weaknesses gain/lose section, it entirely depends on the character.

An example of losing weaknesses, some characters have certain terminal illnesses that affected them in their canon. That could be considered a 'weakness' that has been lost since arriving in SC, and you could detail how your character would react or emotionally/mentally handle having that type of weakness/situation removed. That is just one example of what we're looking for in that section.

Another example, your character possesses a magical artefact that gives them various abilities like super strength. Losing the artefact would mean losing the abilities, and that would be in this section.

The main weakness section is to state what psychological, emotional, and physical weaknesses the character in question has. If you've answered that question, and feel that they wouldn't lose/gain any further weaknesses by entering into SC, then feel free to simply answer the question with: they wouldn't gain any further weaknesses.

I had a question about canon updating! I've been having trouble playing Ieyasu from his current timeline in the game, so I was wondering if I could change it - but technically, since Sengoku Basara 3 has different paths with different events, this would be different from just a simple canon update. I was wondering if the procedure would still be the same as a canon update though - sending an email with any parts of the application that have changed, or if there's something else that I'd need to do. The main thing that changes is history, but his personality stays the same. And also, does this mean that he'd lose his memories of Death City when he left, due to his memories from home changing? Sorry for the rambling, I hope this makes sense!

[soul_mods]

You may! All you have to do is send an e-mail to the mods, stating where your character will be taken. You do not need to send us a completely new app, but you must send us any part of your original app that will be affected by this canon update (a change in personality, history, or a different soul description word for example!). Make sure to include [CHARACTER NAME HERE] [CANON HERE] [CANON UPDATE] in the e-mail title!

Also, generally those who do canon update take their characters out of the game for one in-game day. It is not a necessity, but is generally done to explain the update done to their characters. Then their characters return on the new day with both their new memories, and the memories they had in the game. If you want him to keep his memories of his time already spent in SC, then you're more than welcome to!

[pedobear.livejournal.com]

i feel sort of dense for having to ask this, but how would a character whose soul is "stuck" in something, like an object, get on? would it just be transferred back into their body, or...? the character i'm thinking of has the item on her person at all times, so i'm kind of foggy on how that would go down.

[soul_mods]

Regardless of the status of a character's soul in their canon (or their lack of it, in the cases of robots, etc), they will get a soul in the SC setting as a suitable and appropriate adaptation of their personality/traits. It is not necessarily the same soul that they have in their own worlds. However, it might be easiest to simplify things and say that the character's soul is transferred back to their body and adapted to the SC setting. If the item is not a weapon, you also have the option of letting her keep it, provided that its functions and uses will be removed.

[sayatakagi.livejournal.com]

A question about in game information! Saya has been trying to find information on what worries her the most, reading on books, accessing Shibusen library and going through book-stores.
So. About them ~*~zombies~*~

I'd like to know what kind of perspective Soul Eater universe has on zombies. Yes, I do know Sid is a zombie, but from what I've read on SoulEater Wikia, Sid is the only one and we really can't compare Sid to... well, an actual decaying zombie trying to eat you alive (unless Sid does enjoy nutritious breakfast of human brain).

What I mean is, is their vision on zombies the same as ours: walking dead that will eat people and whoever gets bitten will turn into one? If yes, I assume it's all fiction?

Also on Sid, is it known he is a zombie? Is there any information on his type of zombie-kind?

[soul_mods]

First of all, we apologize for the delay on answering this question.

Sid is not technically a zombie in the sense that we know of them, aka he's not a mindless ghoul whose drive is to eat others. He was experimented on by Stein and turned into something like the living dead -- following the theme of Soul Eater, he now wields a gravestone and coffins around -- but he seems to be more alive than not. He bleeds red (as we can see from his fight with Mifune), he has a soul (which is in his gravestone), can feel pain, is capable of intelligence and thought just like when he was human, and we never see him eat anything raw (although he was involved in parties, so we are assuming he ate party food or didn't eat at all). For the purposes of the game, we assume that Stein's experiment had something to do with separating his soul from his body and managing to keep both functional despite the divide.

But for your question: No one really mentions Sid as a zombie -- no one in the school seems affected by his existence at all. He might be known as a zombie throughout the city by now, though, so that might reach Saya's ears. There's no further information on him, but Saya is free to pester Stein about it if she wants to be freaked out.

As for your questions on zombies in the SE universe: That is more or less what kishin eggs are, though they devour souls rather than flesh. Their concept of the zombie that is in Saya's canon would be fictional, yes. More like a watered down version of the kishin egg (which is capable of sentient, intelligent thought, evolution, and surprising strength). It wouldn't be popular fiction, though.

[powerofbondage.livejournal.com]

I am always the one with all the questions...

I was curious about changing from a Weapon to a Meister, or vice versa. I picked out Meister for Ieyasu originally, but I was keen to see if I could change him into a Weapon instead. Is this allowed, and if so, how would I go about it? (I assume that I'd have to write the Weapon section of the application out and send it to the mod email, but is there anything else that would be required? Also I assume the character in question would be sent out of the city for a period of time?)

Thanks! (And hopefully this isn't covered somewhere else, and I missed it.)

[seizeyoursouls.livejournal.com]

SUP, MOD HERE. Doing a few things so can't log out right now, rofl.

BASICALLY. You just send an email to the mod email account, note CHARACTER - WEAPON TO MEISTER CHANGE or something similar, and then fill out the meister form. If the changes are accepted, your character will be dropped for one in game day after he is accepted (day of your choice btw) and when he's back, he'll be a meister '3'. He'll keep all of his memories btw if you choose to keep em! ♥

[evilwildlex.livejournal.com]

I'm curious as to how much canon a character must have before they would be appable in Soul Campaign.

There's a character I've been looking at who is a fairly minor character that's made only a few brief appearances, but there is a good amount of canon available about her family.

[wittyreplyhere.livejournal.com]

The more I talk to other people about this the more I get confused. So what is a resonance attack?

So far I've got two possibilities. One is that it is the Weapon's ability that is unlocked when they reach maximum resonance. In Dante's case that would be his Devil Trigger. The other one is that it's a completely different attack that is unique to the partnership and is not covered under the Weapon's abilities.

[soul_mods]

The resonance attack is the unique attack to the partnership! It has nothing to do with the abilities you give your Weapon.

Also, resonance attacks will need to be looked over by the mods as well.

[raspberrydrink.livejournal.com]

Quick question: if you've done enough AC and apped up to three characters before, if you fail one ac but then pass the next, can you app a new character or do you have to pass two acs again?

[soul_mods]

You will still need to have two AC in a row completed if you have failed one recently.

If you are looking to apply for another character in the June cycle, you can submit an AC in advance. So you will need to have passed the June (1st - 7th) AC, and also submit the July AC - which basically means that you will need to have the right amount of activity for each character in the game throughout June before the app cycle closes on the 16th of June.

Rufus and the Redheads are having a housing conundrum. We want Rufus and Asch to live together as partners, but Reno kinda needs to be exceedingly close by, and since Luke is broke, he needs to either live with Rufus and Asch or be in a free building as well.

So we're looking for places that have 2 and 1 bedrooms together on the same floor that aren't Casualty. :/ We haven't seen any but we're wondering if we missed something. Can you help us find a solution, please?

[soul_mods]

We'd suggest any of the following:
1. Get two two-bedroom apartments for rent. (Costs money.)
2. Rent a two or three-bedroom unit in Fatality Condo. (Costs money.)
3. Get a partner unit in Casualty Communal or the Creeping Crypt (both have partner units) and have Reno and Luke get a unit each in the surrounding area.

Option three may be the most viable for you, if you really want the 2 + 1 + 1 combination. Casualty Communal 12OP is free, and the units next to it, M and N, are also available (disregard Sheryl -- she has already dropped).

[nocathere.livejournal.com]

I've noticed that there is no concrete description of the jail cells anywhere that I was capable of finding. With all the people ending up in jail, might it be good to put it and a description on the locations list? Are they separate from the dungeons under Shibusen?

[soul_mods]

Noted on this, thank you! We'll work on it (probably over the weekend).

[iattractmushi]

I'm thinking about apping here in... uh. Several months (eheh... >_> ) but I didn't see any rules regarding AU apps or characters with other games as part of their background. Are they allowed at all?

And if so, what about characters from a memory-loss game (though he will have all his canon memories back before I app him)?

[soul_mods]

Unfortunately, at this moment, we do not allow applications for characters that retain their backgrounds in other games. As for the AU... What kind of AU is this? If the AU is accepted in canon, then it might be all right. For example, in The World Ends with You, the game has an AU spin-off within the game itself.

[(Anonymous)]

Because you only allow one application per person per round, would a person that is challenging an application/having their app challenged be able to put in two applications just in case? I think it's kind of unfair, especially for the person who had not been expecting to originally be challenged and their app is the one that doesn't get through yet still really wanted to join the game.

[soul_mods]

We do make an offer to the applicant that doesn't get the character to send in another application once the decision's been made. So if you do have two characters in mind for the game (should the first not get in), keep the second one on hand instead of emailing in the second application.
