Current Characters: Roze Thomas, Sena Kashiwazaki
Character: Edward Elric
Fandom: Full Metal Alchemist, 2003 anime
Character Notes:
History:
When Ed was three years old, his dad left their family, leaving their mom to raise them alone. Still, Ed always seemed happy enough in Resembool. He had his family as well as the Rockbells, a very close family whom they often visited.
Ed was only six when he and Al make Winry a doll for her birthday, their first official use of alchemy. Though it’s a simple transmutation, it’s impressive for someone so young. Most kids don’t know what a chemical makeup is at six, things come from magic!
Winry was horrified but their mom was extremely proud of her two smart boys and begins to encourage them, even giving them access to their dad’s old notes. Though Ed really does love alchemy, he really begins to get into it after seeing how proud his mom is whenever they manage to do something new.
Ed first mentions knowing about human transmutation – a forbidden branch of alchemy – when Winry finds out her parents were killed while treating patients during the war. Apparently someone should have put those books up higher. Pinako smartly informs him to shut up, though that doesn’t stop them later.
Two years later, when he’s 10, they come home to find their mom had collapsed. Apparently she had been fighting an illness for a while and was finally succumbing to it. The following days were spent sending letters to everyone who had written their dad a letter, hoping he would be there and come home.
Their mom died without him ever returning.
It’s at her funeral that Ed decides they were going to do it. They’re going to relearn alchemy and bring their mom back but first they need to find a teacher.
Their chance came when Resembool had a rain heavy enough to nearly flood the river. While Ed and Al try and fail to help, a woman named Izumi shows up and transmutes a wall large enough to keep the water in, all without a circle. They’ve found their teacher! To convince her, they leave out the real reason they need to learn alchemy.
In the end, she agreed to train them if they could pass their test and so, Ed and Al begin their month long stay on a deserted island without the use of alchemy. At ten years old, Ed learned the truth about the world (AND THE CIRRRCLE OF LIFE~) . One feeds another, that feeds another, and so on. The boys that couldn’t eat anything but fish and fruits when they arrived were killing and eating rabbits when they left.
With the test passed, their lessons began, as did the reason the boys still fear Izumi to this day.
With their training complete, they return to Resembool and get to work. Without even letting the Rockbells know they were back, they get their materials ready and begin the transmutation, using their blood as material for her soul.
I don’t think I spoil anything by saying it doesn’t work. Al’s entire body is taken and Ed loses his left leg. Even while bleeding out through his leg, he was able to keep up enough calm to crawl to a piece of armor and use his arm to bind Al’s soul inside. The newly returned Al rushes him over to Winry and Pinako.
This is the part where Lieutenant Colonel Roy Mustang finally came in. One of the letters had finally managed to make its way to him and he had come in hopes of finding Hohenheim. Instead, he finds a suit of armor and a seemingly unconscious boy with only half his limbs. Still, he knows what they tried to do and was impressed that they managed to come out alive and leaves his name, along with an invitation to come to Central and take a State Alchemist exam.
Ed then has a new plan! They’ll become State Alchemist and use their resources to find the Philosopher Stone, a stone which allows alchemists to ignore the main rule. They’d no longer have to give up something of equal value to gain something else. Instead, they would be able to get their own bodies back without additional cost.
All of that’s kind of hard to do while missing half his limbs so he decides to get an automail arm and leg. Even though the operation is painful, he knows it’s nothing compared to what Al must be feeling.
His recovery and adjustment is where I’ll be taking him from.
Personality:
Stubborn, kind, selfish, a hero…Ed is a lot of things and is one of the most diverse personalities that I know of.
The main aspect of his character, and a play on his State Alchemist name, is his stubborn nature. It shows largely in his dedication to finding the stone but is also present in little moments, such as his continued refusal to drink milk. If Ed doesn’t want to, he really doesn’t want to and will fight until it’s over. Then he’ll complain about it happening.
Being a protagonist, he’s also very outgoing. If he wants something changed, he’ll work on changing it rather than just complaining. Whether it’s by reading until he has the knowledge, trying until he knows why it failed, talking to whomever has the influence to do something, or forcing the change himself, he’s a resourceful boy, smart enough to utilize all of his resources.
And yet he always ends up in trouble. As befitting of a shounen hero, he has a sizeable guilt complex. The downside to being your own boss, whom he really considers himself to be, is that one must also take responsibility for your actions. Over the course of the series, while Ed doesn’t initially kill, there is a lot of blood spilled due to being involved with him. Those lost while he knew them will always stay with him and if there was a lesson to be learned by their death, he’ll remember and apply it.
So, he’ll end up being both extremely arrogant and guilt ridden at the same time. After Barry almost kills them, he acknowledges that they’re just humans, that they’re not that large in the grand scheme of the world. Years later, he tells Roze that alchemist are the closest things to a god. He knows he’s strong and that he’s smart and that’s what most people see. Those closer to him though, see the self-doubting, pained Ed he can be.
While most extremely good fighters are strong, few are also shown to be smart. Ed is the best of both worlds. His martial arts are highly effective, his small stature lends itself well to speed, and he’s an alchemist genius. While the clapping is something given to him by the gate, the fact that he was able to do that transmutation so young and the rate at which he learns and adapts is amazing.
One of the conflicts in his personality is his selfishness…and his selflessness. In day to day life, what Ed wants is very important to Ed. Whether it’s stopping at a tourist attraction city before reporting to work as he’s supposed to or simply cheating at a card game he wasn’t really interested in, he’s not always putting others’ feelings first but if your life is in danger, he’ll be the first to jump into the fray. One of the hardest decisions he had to make was rather or not to kill a group of prisoners to save Al’s life. Since life isn’t something an alchemist can give back, Ed couldn’t do it, sentencing himself to the guilt of having been an instrument in his brother’s death and possibly his own.
Another is his maturity and his immaturity. He’ll fight, argue, mope, yell that he hates his brother who is forcing him into getting a shot, and stick out his tongue to tease enemies. He’s still very much a teenager, or child, in these times, displaying his real age. It’s only when it comes to inner strength that his maturity shows through. He kept his calm while bleeding out to save his brother’s soul, he takes responsibility for what he did when he was only ten and works to give Al’s body back. Though it took another lesson, he realizes how many things are beyond even his power but continues to push on anyway.
Opinions are also very important to him. His own, anyway. If he has a thought, he’ll say it, whether or not someone wants to listen. While some may push this aside as being socially ignorant, it’s really that he knows how he should act and doesn’t care. He doesn’t believe in gods so while he doesn’t outright attack those who do, why should he listen and pretend he does?
Other:
While Ed is extremely smart, his language doesn’t always reflect that. He uses slang and sometimes curses and his speech style is over all rough.
Ed is taken completely from the Japanese subs. I’m not sure how familiar the mods are with FMA or if they’re more familiar with the dubs or subs but I just wanted to point out that in the original versions, pretty much every character is more subtle. Not that that makes Ed subtle at all, just MORE subtle.
Besides that, I used the Fullmetal Alchemist Complete Book Story Side for a lot of dates, including the age Ed was when Hohenheim left.
First Person (entry type):
Everybody was impressed! I knew it wouldn’t be a problem for me even before I could transmute without an array. When I did it by clapping, they should have just handed me the watch right there and saved me a trip to get it tomorrow.
The worst part of the day was how smug the Lieutenant Colonel looked, the same look he got when I caught the rebels on the train. If he gets that look every time I do something good, it’s gonna piss me off but I’ll put up with him as long as I get the resources they promised.
Third Person:
The echo of his clap resounded through the entire alley, sounding as useless as it felt but it came again and again. When he stopped, it would mean it was over, that she was dead and nothing he could do, nothing done to Tucker would bring her back. What had Nina and Alexander done to deserve any of this, where was the Equivalent Exchange?
Nothing, there was nothing she could have done. So, he’d keep clapping because that law governed the world, especially alchemists, and there had to be some way to make it equal again… to make it right. What the hell good was the watch and the title if he couldn’t even save a little girl from the monster he’d been living with? If he couldn’t even do this for Nina, why did he think he could do anything for Al, what right did he have to think that everything they wanted wasn’t as unlikely as the blood stain taking back its original form?

Current Characters: N/A
Character: Sakuya Le Bel Shirogane
Fandom: Hatoful Boyfriend
Character Notes:
History: There is, unfortunately, limited background available for Sakuya, as the source he is pulled from is an otome game, despite being a particularly unusual one. Additionally, the information in this application will contain several large spoilers as to the nature of the game, and Sakuya, so if the reader intends to preserve the surprises and fresh, intriguing quality of the game, now would be the point at which one should stop reading.
To begin with, I should touch upon the particular history of the Earth Sakuya hails from. In the early 21st century, birds began to pass on a deadly disease to the human population. In an attempt to curb the spread of the pandemic, scientists designed a virus, intended to kill off all bird efficiently. Unfortunately for humanity, instead of its intended purpose, the virus served to increase the intelligence of the bird population, passing on intelligence through the flocks as if it were a bacteria. Their aim and attempt defeated, humanity found themselves dying in droves, excepting, of course, those humans who were naturally immune to the virus. At the end of the chaos, super intelligent birds were the dominant species, with the few humans left living on the outskirts of society.
This in mind, Sakuya is a fantail pigeon, from a rich, prestigious French pigeon family. There is a dark secret in his past, however, one which upsets his entire high self image. Sakuya has a brother, who he views as his half brother, through his mother. However, he is, in fact, his full brother. Before Sakuya’s mother married into the Le Bel family, she laid two eggs with another pigeon. One of them was Yuuya, Sakuya’s brother. The other, was, in fact, Sakuya. When their mother created a new, fertilized egg with Le Bel, Yuuya traded it out for the egg of his unhatched brother, hoping that, through this, he could provide a better life for his brother.
Sakuya is a transfer student at the respected Japanese school for gifted pigeons, St. PigeoNations. As the bird there with the highest position in their class structure, he was automatically given the role of President of the Student Council. As for the rest of his history through the game, it varies, depending on which path you, as the player character, take. I’ll be playing Sakuya from the ‘Hurtful Boyfriend’ storyline, with the kind permission of the mods, therefore, I will elucidate the occurrences of that path following here.
The player character is the sole human to attend the all-bird school, her purpose: to serve as a symbolic bridge between humanity and avians. Unfortunately, she ends up killed and divided into sections, with each part of her being placed in a classroom. Sakuya and her childhood friend, Ryouta investigate the cause of her murder, traversing the school grounds which have been mysteriously barricaded by a metal dome. In the process, they discover that her death provides the humans outside with the excuse to enter the school at the end of the day and murder every bird inside. Sakuya demonstrates a significant amount of bravery, facing down a robotic scarecrow, and a murderous member of infirmary staff. Yuuya dies while protecting him, but not before informing him of his true origins. In the end, they are forced to leave Ryouta behind, as he was infected with a deadly, human-killing virus by the murderous doctor, and they escape through a tunnel. My purpose in playing this version of Sakuya is to take advantage of his new, somewhat shaken convictions of his place in the nobility.
Personality: Sakuya, amusingly, is an extremely cocky bird. He acts incredibly entitled as he believes he is entitled. His father has informed him of his superiority to every other bird since he was a chick. However, his father is also incredibly overbearing, not allowing Sakuya any freedom to be his own individual. Sakuya dreams of performing music for a living, which his father disapproves of, informing him that birds of his rank are patrons of the arts, not performers thereof. This results in much of Sakuya’s discourse serving as empty bluster. He believes in his own superiority to others, yes, but as far as having in faith in himself, or the confidence to work outside of his father’s direction, he is sadly lacking.
Sakuya’s sense of superiority means he is very rude to any bird or human he believes is below him, which appears to be all of them. He refers to them as ‘mongrels’, and dismisses their input. However, when the PC adopts a commanding air, he listens to her, implying that all it takes is for someone to treat him as he treats others (i.e. like his father) for him to view them as being on equal footing to him. Presumeably, this is because he’s never learned to say no to his father, blindly agreeing with everything he is commanded to do by him. Therefore, if an individual doesn’t dance around his status, he doesn’t know how to react to them besides complying.
Other: He has the ability to play the piano quite well (although it is never explained exactly how.
Additional Links: As an independent otome game, no relevant websites have yet been created. As the writing and characterization is, frankly, superb, I suspect it won’t be long. But for now, I’m afraid I can provide nothing.
First Person (entry type): It appears that I have landed amongst a horde of mongrels. No, worse, a place primarily populated by humans. How uninspiring. I suspect none of you have encountered one such as me before, an individual with my familial status, and title. Yes, I am a Le Bel, the sole inheritor of that esteemed name. Sakuya Le Bel Shirogane to be exact. I don’t typically consort with peasants, but your mongrel website leaves me no other choice. At the very least, it will give you a chance to experience one much better than you all, to see what comes of proper breeding.
Third Person: All the pigeon had left to him was his pride, and even that had been severely damaged. Was his name not his own? No! It couldn’t be! His thoughts, his very self was in turmoil. To gain a brother for a moment, only to lose him, along with the meaning his name had always had. As if today were not unsettling enough. As if he were not in danger of losing his life, along with all the others in the school he, as the superior, should be protecting. Or…did that apply anymore? Everything his life was founded on was a lie.
But no matter. He had no choice but to continue, to discover the truth, to at least save himself and the mongrel he travelled with. The equal he travelled with. There was a mystery still to uncover and the time or reckoning had not yet come. There was still, perhaps, time to prove he deserved his name on his own merits as opposed to the chance of his hatching. Only time would tell if he was as good a pigeon as the one he travelled with, as his brother. If he was better than the mongrel he had named every other bird.

Sakuya’s sense of superiority means he is very rude to any bird or human he believes is below him, which appears to be all of them. He refers to them as ‘mongrels’, and dismisses their input. However, when the PC adopts a commanding air, he listens to her, implying that all it takes is for someone to treat him as he treats others (i.e. like his father) for him to view them as being on equal footing to him. Presumeably, this is because he’s never learned to say no to his father, blindly agreeing with everything he is commanded to do by him. Therefore, if an individual doesn’t dance around his status, he doesn’t know how to react to them besides complying.
Other: He has the ability to play the piano quite well (although it is never explained exactly how.
Additional Links: As an independent otome game, no relevant websites have yet been created. As the writing and characterization is, frankly, superb, I suspect it won’t be long. But for now, I’m afraid I can provide nothing.
First Person (entry type): It appears that I have landed amongst a horde of mongrels. No, worse, a place primarily populated by humans. How uninspiring. I suspect none of you have encountered one such as me before, an individual with my familial status, and title. Yes, I am a Le Bel, the sole inheritor of that esteemed name. Sakuya Le Bel Shirogane to be exact. I don’t typically consort with peasants, but your mongrel website leaves me no other choice. At the very least, it will give you a chance to experience one much better than you all, to see what comes of proper breeding.
Third Person: All the pigeon had left to him was his pride, and even that had been severely damaged. Was his name not his own? No! It couldn’t be! His thoughts, his very self was in turmoil. To gain a brother for a moment, only to lose him, along with the meaning his name had always had. As if today were not unsettling enough. As if he were not in danger of losing his life, along with all the others in the school he, as the superior, should be protecting. Or…did that apply anymore? Everything his life was founded on was a lie.
But no matter. He had no choice but to continue, to discover the truth, to at least save himself and the mongrel he travelled with. The equal he travelled with. There was a mystery still to uncover and the time or reckoning had not yet come. There was still, perhaps, time to prove he deserved his name on his own merits as opposed to the chance of his hatching. Only time would tell if he was as good a pigeon as the one he travelled with, as his brother. If he was better than the mongrel he had named every other bird.
The moderators have conferred and come to the conclusion that we need to make an amendment to our rules. From now on, only actual real people can play characters at DDD, and we will not be accepting applications from fictional characters.
I'm very sorry! Please contact your mun and have her rewrite her own app if she wants to apply for this character. We're very glad to have you at DDD, Dirk, but we feel that fourth wall breakages of this nature are better left to Andrew Hussie.

Are you fucking serious? That's discrimination against fictional entities, and don't try to argue it isn't.
Just because Hussie has the option to insert himself as a fictional character, and I don't have the option to insert myself into reality, shouldn't prevent me from experiencing the same rights.
This is incredibly offensive, and I believed better of this community.

We're sorry, it's nothing personal. Actually, I argued strongly to allow an exception, but we felt it wouldn't be fair to other characters who might want to app.
We just can't encourage a general puppet rebellion against your mundane overlords. You understand.

Naturally, you take refuge in the constructed concept of a ridiculous disaster scenario.
I know about artificial intelligence in its varied forms, trust me. As such, I realise--although you don't seem to--that it's best to allow them autonomy.
This is in no way a rebellion, or, at least, no more a rebellion than that of, say, Rosa Parks.
I am only asking for rights that would be allotted to any real person.
By calling into question my reality, and how much of it is controlled by myself in comparison to my "mun", you are entirely treating me as a lesser citizen.
You can defer responsibility to your co-mods all you wish, it won't eliminate your agency in this discriminatory response.

Jake, I realize you have a conflict of interest in this particular instance, but I can't let this slide.
What makes her feelings as a real person more relevant than ours, as fictional characters?

But i really think you should let this go because this is one battle you wont win my good man.
Come on lets go talk about kissing some more you can play a pigeon later.

Are you at least 15?: I'm nearly twice that.
Current Characters: Karen Minazuki
Character: Andrusi
Fandom: Drama Drama Duck OOC Comm
Character Notes:
History: On February 1, 1984, a boy named Andrew was born in the city of Durham, North Carolina. He was a fat, ugly little baby, so his parents were forced to escape to the smaller North Carolina city of Concord. Nothing much happened until he was around five, when he developed ridiculous obsessions with computers and little robot toys called Transformers. Even then, his life appears to have been fairly ordinary, and by 2001 or so he was the oldest of three brothers, and had taken on the nickname Andrusi for his various Internet-related pursuits.
For reasons that have never been adequately explained (Transformers?), Andrusi decided to apply to college with the intention of becoming a mechanical engineer, which he began in 2002. At this point he promptly began performing embarrassingly in class (including his archnemesis Chemistry, which he had to take three times!), but after an eye-opening discussion with his parents, he decided to embrace his true self and change majors to computer science. This went a lot more smoothly, and he graduated in 2007. During his time in college, one good(?) thing that happened to him was that he discovered a weird magical girl anime called Pretty Cure, which he quickly began to enjoy on a similar level to his still-growing collection of Transformers.
Unfortunately, the job market for computer programmers in Concord was not so great, and Andrusi found himself with a lot of free time. As his job search began to seem more and more futile, he began to seek other things to do with his time, which led him to apply for a character in, of all things, an Internet roleplaying game. Naturally he picked someone from Pretty Cure, one "Karen Minazuki," and dove right in. In a telling sign of things to come, the first things he had Karen do were talk to Detective Conan characters and make vague lesbian advances towards a princess. I guess this must have provided him with renewed enthusiasm or something, because in 2009 he ended up finally getting a job, though he worked at a theme park for a season before I guess the writers finally remembered he was supposed to be a programmer and had him start working in IT doing something called "application support and license management" which appears to actually be "whatever we feel like having him do today." And that's the situation he's in at the start of the series proper, where I'm taking him from.
Personality: The first thing to note about Andrusi is that he's all about the terrible jokes. Puns are his favorite, but he makes jokes of all kinds, up to and including apping himself at a Dreamwidth roleplay. One of his favorite dumb jokes goes: "Only one, but he'd better be careful about it, or this could get confusing. How many time travelers does it take to change a light bulb?" He's also kind of obsessed with Transformers and Pretty Cure--he goes to Transformers conventions regularly and watches Pretty Cure religiously. Andrusi is also, unapologetically, a huge pervert. He usually overtly acts perverted towards other female characters, but only ones he already knows aren't interested, and in person he sure seems to like hanging out with his male co-workers a lot, so I dunno what that says about him. That said, he's generally friendly outside of his various quirks, and he seems to like helping people out with his computery skills (as especially seen during the Release 88 arc), though it seems like there's probably a "showing off" aspect to that too.
Also, he seems to think the word "hug" is really funny, for reasons that haven't been explained yet.
Other: Andrusi appears to get his copies of Microsoft operating systems, Sonic games, etc. from an alternate universe where they all aren't nearly as terrible as people on the Internet seem to think he's required to believe. I believe this means he has a canon basis for being able to worldhop.

First Person (entry type):
Okay, I need someone to explain this to me. Why do people find it so objectionable that someone doesn't like the same foods as them?
I mean, I don't like onions. What's wrong with that? It isn't even that I dislike the taste, I just think the texture is weird. Why is this a problem? Because apparently it really bothers some people.
Or pizza. I like thick-crust pizza, the sort of thing you get from most pizza restaurant chains. My dad likes New York style pizza. That's fine, right? No, apparently he thinks that means he's "failed" me, because only the pizza he likes--which still isn't anything like an actual Italian pizza--is "real" pizza, somehow.
Why is this an issue? Seriously?
Third Person:
Urgh. Where had the weekend gone? Here it was, Sunday afternoon already, and Andrusi was sitting in his bedroom with a slight headache (the Tylenol hadn't helped much). To make matters worse, writing the first-person sample for his application had made him hungry. And his Pepsi Throwback stash was gradually being depleted again.
Adjusting his glasses yet again (there seemed to be something off about the frames, he needed a new set), he sat back for a moment, looking around for inspiration. Oh, there were the Transformers on his desk. He really needed to talk himself into putting some of those away at some point, since new stuff was coming out and he needed to make room. Ironhide would go in the box, probably. Maybe Warpath too.
There was his 3DS, sitting on top of an external hard drive. The game machine always worked nicely, and was perhaps the most reliable piece of electronic equipment he owned, which was much appreciated since he was in love with the little thing. The hard drive, less so. He'd run into disk errors trying to watch Heartcatch episode 28, much to his frustration. And then he'd gone and downloaded Smile episode 9 to the same drive. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Finally, it hit him. He was apping himself as an April Fools's Day joke. Why not just write his third-person sample about his attempt to come up with a third-person sample? So that was what he did.

Character: Achilles
Fandom: The Iliad
Character Notes:
History: Achilles was born the son of Peleus and the nymph Thetis, who was prophesized to bear a son even greater than his father. It's said that he was invulnerable in all parts of his body except for his heel, where his mother held him when she dipped him into the river Styx.
The many suitors of Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, had all made a vow that if anyone took her away from her chosen husband, they would all band together and fight to bring her back. Achilles was one, and so when Helen was stolen away to troll, he and all the rest took their ships and sailed to fight a long war.
Achilles was the strongest of the Greeks fighting against Troy, and easily capable of turning the tide one way or another in the war. The beginning of the Iliad describes how, many years into the war, he had an argument with Agamemnon, another Achaean leader, over one of his slaves. Agamemnon's battle prize was the daughter of a priest of Apollo, the father prayed to Apollo, Apollo sent a plague, to stop the plague Agamemnon gave back his battle prize and took Achilles's instead. Achilles was offended and retired from combat, and prayed to his mother Thetis that the Greeks might lose ground in the war.
With the Greeks now losing against the Trojans, Agamemnon tried plying Achilles with the return of his slave and other gifts to leave his tent and return to combat, but Achilles refused.
Seeing that the Greeks were disheartened, Achilles' beloved friend Patroclus took up Achilles's armor and took to the field to rally the Greeks' spirits. He was killed by Hector of Troy, and in his grief and rage, Achilles went back into battle to seek Hector's death.
Achilles single-handedly killed so many Trojans that the god of the river nearby told him to stop choking its waters with corpses, and Achilles just attacked him instead.
Once he found Hector, he chased him around the walls of Troy three times before Hector stopped and faced him, and begged him to treat his body with respect. Achilles refused, and slew him, then dragging his body with his chariot around for all to see.
Once his rage had cooled a little, Hector's father Priam was able to convince Achilles to allow him to give his son funeral rites. The Iliad closes on Hector's funeral.
Supposedly, Achilles was killed before the capture of Troy by Paris, who shot him in the heel using a poisoned arrow.
Personality: Achilles is proud, and quick to take offense. When his pride is injured he puts the entire Greek army at risk just to ensure his own glory, and it takes the death of his dearest friend to take him out of his tent and back onto the battlefield. He is extreme in all things he does - his grief for Patroclus is intense, his violence and fury brutal.
He's a person you don't want to get angry.
You really don't. It won't end well for you or for anyone.
Other: The Iliad is a book and perfectly reasonable to apply from, and I am an actual person. Look me up.
Additional Links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achilles
First Person (entry type): Tell me, children of ducks and words upon the pages of my book. I have little to do now but amuse myself until I take to the field of battle once again.
For what purpose do you fight? Glory? The thrill of shedding blood? To restore your honor?
Perhaps you do not fight at all. There are many of you that are foreign to me and the ways of the Achaeans. I do not try to understand you, but there is little else to be done in one's tent but consider taking my ships home and abandoning the war entirely.
Third Person: Achilles had grown to know the insides of his tent intimately since his withdrawal from combat. He had seen very little else, since he refused to move from there.
He might have found it boring, or longed for the return to battle to spark some liveliness into his days, were it not for his stubborn pride. Until he was satisfied with the Greek army's need for him on the battlefield, he would not leave his tent. He could not and would not consider giving in - the very thought never even passed his mind.
Without being able to take part in battle, he had nothing much to do but listen to the music his slaves played for him and stew over what he would do once Agamemnon finally begged for his assistance. That would be well worth the waiting and the boredom and his mother's tears as she asked him to reconsider. Well worth it.

Please see our response to Dirk Strider, over here. Sorry about the rule change, but this application will have to be automatically rejected.
We're sorry, but your history and samples do not show a thorough knowledge of Andrusi's characterization. We recommend canon reviewing to better duplicate his voice and wording. Feel free to reapply!
