✘ APPLICATIONS
ıllıllı APPLICATIONS ıllıllı ◀ PLEASE SEE THIS POST FOR MORE INFORMATION ▶ APP CYCLE INFORMATION Applications open at 12:01PM (ET) on the 7th of the month and close at 11:59PM (ET) on the 12th of the month, or when all available application spots for the month have been filled. The game adheres to Dreamwidth timestamps — applications posted outside this window will not be accepted. (Timezone Converter?) Apps are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. You may submit 1 application per app round. A reserve is not required to apply, but is encouraged. You may not apply for a character reserved by another player until their reserve expires on the 10th (if no app has been submitted). We do not accept application challenges. Please read through the Rules and the Frequently Asked Questions posts before submitting an application. Guidelines for eligible characters are located in the FAQ post. CHARACTER LIMITS There is a total game character limit of 80 characters, of which no more than six can be from the same franchise in play. The current character count, and any canons at or nearing cap, can be found on the Taken Characters page. SUBMITTING YOUR APP You may either post your application in the comments or link to a non-locked post in your journal. If your application is in a journal post, it must be left unlocked for the duration of the character's tenure in game (so players and the mod can reference it!). If your application requires REVISIONS, you will have 72 hours to provide them, otherwise your application will receive either an ACCEPTED or DECLINED response. Please submit your application with the subject line: Character Name | Canon | Reserved/Not Reserved Applications are not screened. SPECIAL NOTE: Due to the capped nature of the game, placing a reserve does not guarantee you an application spot with regards to either cast caps or overall game cap. Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis with regard to the overall caps. Reserving a character simply means that no one else can place an application for that character unless the reserve expires. ıllıllı APPLICATION TEMPLATE ıllıllı PLAYER INFORMATION PLAYER NAME: How you prefer to be addressed; handle, pronouns, etc OVER 18?: This game is 18+ only PREFERRED CONTACT(S): Plurk, Discord, etc OTHER CHARACTERS: Do you play anyone else here already?

REVISIONS
Jolyne is a special girl, even as far as the Joestar family lineage goes. A mix of both her great grandfather and her father respectively, she goes above and beyond both personalities. Given her upbringing and complications in her own personal life it took her a bit to grow into who she becomes while incarcerated. At our first introduction you can see that she's probably more like her great-grandfather than she ever imagined, admitting to masturbating out of boredom when waking up too early and only getting embarrassed that a guard caught her doing it.
Frustrated by the fact that she felt her father abandoned their family for other ventures, it didn't take much for Jolyne to develop a dependency for approval and affection where she could get it after attempts at catching her father's attention through multiple minor crimes. Her bitterness towards Jotaro didn't help, the mere mention of him making her lose her temper. Being abandoned by her friends turned her life around, leaving the biker gang lifestyle and working towards college.
Although with this 180 in her life she still manages to get mixed up in trouble while dating the "seemingly" good guy. Being forced to cover up said boyfriend's accident just for sweet approval and affection her loyalty is repaid with betrayal from both boyfriend and lawyer landing her a fifteen year sentence in a maximum security prison. Though even at that, she was still loyal enough to not out her former lover and save herself even after deciding they were over for good. Throughout all of this, even though she kept up her delinquent persona, she regrets causing her mother so much grief and can't stand the idea of her at home crying, she wants desperately to see and talk to her mom to put her at ease but never gets the chance.
Prison opened up a whole new world, from acquiring a stand ability (thanks dad), to having to toughen up to adjust to a new harsher lifestyle she cranked her usual confrontational attitude and rudeness up to eleven. Jolyne is not one to simply sit back and take anyone messing with her and will aggressively assert herself if the situation calls for it, from minor infractions to a full on confrontation by an enemy she is ready to use her words and anything else necessary. When fighting against someone she won't hold back when it comes to surly taunts and death threats coupled with violence. She has a vindictive nature and will not let go of a grudge even if she's seemingly moved past a situation. Although these traits are often seen as negative she can apply them in positive light.
Ultimately one of Jolyne's strongest traits that drives all others is her determination. With all the negative she has a lot of good in her that shines through when it comes to doing the right thing. After her father's ability/memories are stolen she embraces her true lineage, maturing to rise to the occasion to protect what's most important to her. Despite their rocky relationship, Jotaro's confession that he had always cared for her made ultimately Jolyne realize how much she cared for her family. This sort of determination and loyalty also falls in line with people she considers comrades and/or friends, doing anything she can with little regard to her own well-being. It’s clear that she has honourable morals; whether it be for family, friends or even just witnessing someone being needlessly victimized.
Aside from her combat ready lifestyle, Jolyne comes off as a normal teenage girl. She greatly enjoys hanging out with the girls and staying occupied, even going so far as to give herself a navel piercing while in solitary. A fun-loving person, she likes to crack jokes and have fun where she can through something as easy as tossing a ball around to just goofing around. Given her playful nature, she tends to voice a lot of things that come off as weird, but her curiosity drives it even further until she's satisfied with an answer or response. She has an extroverted personality and has no problem asking questions about anything if it means learning more about someone or her new surroundings.
As mentioned previously, she does come off as rather libertine seeing as how she openly admits to masturbating and at another point commenting about a certain amount of jealousy over a snail's ability to copulate with anything. There is another point where she admits to having to pee in the middle of being in a zero-gravity combat situation. Although she does become flustered and embarrassed that she was caught by a guard committing the act and that she had to admit to needing to pee to a man.
