Applications
• Please read over all the rules and information before applying in order to minimize any confusion before joining.
• If applying for a character that has already been dropped, it would be a good idea, though not required, to know something of their previous interactions. You are also free to pick up a dropped character with no memories of their previous time in Mayfield.
• All content for the personality and sample entry in your app must be written or roleplayed by you; for the personality section in particular, we do not accept copied text from wikis or other sources. Obviously, you may not copy your app from other players, whether in Mayfield or other games. Application plagiarism will result in a ban from the game.
• If you wish for your character to be placed in a specific house, please mention this in the relevant section of the application and specify that permission was obtained by the PCs already residing in that house. We will be operating by the Honor System for this, and there is no need for others to comment their permission in this post!
• Other special requests would also best go in the beginning of the application. Remember, grammar and spelling are important -- if your app contains errors, you will be asked to revise.
• Please post all applications or canon updates in this post; posting them elsewhere and linking to them from here may cause them to get changed later. Posting them here keeps us from having to save them.
When Applying, Fill Out the Following:
When Applying for an Original Character, Fill Out the Following
• Before applying, please look over any applications that were recently accepted to get an idea of what we're looking for.
• If you apply for a character that has already been reserved, we will inform you and ignore the application until the reserve runs out.

Once you're accepted, please introduce yourself on the community when you're ready to play.
• If your app is "Pending", do not freak out! This means that we need you to make some revisions, and does not mean you're rejected. We generally give players a chance to revise before rejecting them, but we will reject apps that do not address the concerns stated when we asked for a revision. If you have been rejected, our reply will clearly state this to be the case. If we have not gotten back to you yet, under no circumstance does this mean you are rejected. If it has been over a week since our last reply, it would be a good idea to contact us with a reminder, otherwise, please be patient!
• If you have received a "Pending" notice, you will have one week to supply us with your revisions, or your reserve will be considered expired and that someone else is free to apply for the character.
• The typical wait for a reply on apps may be anywhere from a day to a little over a week. If any part of your application requires a pending, it may be another week after your reply to that before we can get to you. We process a high volume of apps every round, so please be patient.
• If you have not heard back on a pending for over a week after apps close, please send a PM directly to the mod account.
Butch Cassidy | Drifters | Reserved | Part 2
World information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drifters_(manga)
Pre-Drifters history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butch_Cassidy (which he most likely get to keep, as several other character has been allowed to keep their original histories of how they lived and died – even if they don't actually die at those moments in Drifters.)
Butch arrive to the Drifters world alongside his friend and comrade the Sundance Kid. It is still unknown where they first arrived, but some time after, they are found by members of the Octobrist Organization, and brought to the North Wall of Carneades, which is the frontlines of the battle against the Blacklord and the Offscourings.
As they wait for the Blacklord's army to arrive, Butch and Kid watch as the Octobrist, the Carneade soldiers and Scipio Africanus fight about who is to take command over the troops at the fort walls. Neither get into the argument, as they don't really get what all the fuss is about.
He is present at the start of the Blacklord's army's attack, and is on standby by a carriage that is loaded with different firearms. He and Kid considers ditching the people they're waiting for – Hannibal and Scipoio, that is – but the two arrive shortly after, and together with them, they make to leave the fort, by a request on Abe no Seimei's part. As they are in the middle of a battlefield, they have to fight their way through. They cut very close, and Butch is almost fried by a dragon. The dragon is shot down by the pilot Kanno Naoshi, who just recently fell in through a portal in the sky together with his WWII battle plane.
Some time later, they pick up Seimei and head for the location of the other Drifters – Shimazu Toyohisa, Oda Nobunaga and Nasu no Yoichi. On the way there, however, Scipio fall off the carriage and as they were followed by enemies, they didn't have the time to stop and pick him up.
The first time that Butch met the Drifters from the castle ruins (Toyohisa, Nobunaga and Yoichi, that is) was in the middle of another battle. Gilles de Rais and Jeanne d'Arc had, together with foot soldiers from the Blacklord's army, attacked the castle they are based at. The first they see is the battle between Yoichi and Gilles, just as Yoichi is being strangled by Gilles' chains. Using the last of their ammunition for the gatling gun, Kid blast Gilles to pieces – although Gilles turn to salt for some unknown reason.
Butch and Kid show and demonstrate their guns to Nobunaga, who is very interested in the weapons. Not that Butch get why Nobunaga is so excited over the gatling gun, nor does he understand the battle strategies that he is talking about. When Nobunaga tell him and Kid that they're making gunpowder, however, he get really excited over that, because they didn't know how to make gunpowder themselves.
He gave one of his guns to Nobunaga when he and the other Castle Ruin's Drifters were about to set out to free the dwarfs, and asked that once Nobunaga manage to get bullets manufactured, they leave some for him and Kid.
As for where Butch and them went after that, they left the ruins to find Scipio and to return to the Octobrist headquarters, acting like some sort of escorts to Seimei and Hannibal.
Butch Cassidy | Drifters | Reserved | Part 3 | End
To say Butch is a cocky person is not an exaggeration. It's the opposite, actually. He believe in himself a lot – almost too much, actually. Because even if some of his ideas can be really stupid and dangerous, he don't think that they are. He is very confident with himself, and it's not often that he regrets any of his actions. Due to his selfconfidence some would probably say that he's full of himself, but he would not agree. There are not many things that he see as problems to him. He tend to take things as they come; even running out of ammunition in a world where they haven't even heard of guns yet.
Butch is the type of person that ”lives in today and not in the future”, because he believe that the Wild Bunch only have today and no future. He live a wild and dangerous life after all, so it's better not to make too much plans. He know that he might die that day, which is why he don't make much plans for the next day, in case he actually does die.
He never hesitate in taking chances, because he don't really care what happen to him and he's not scared of dying. Sure, being fried by a dragon isn't exactly top priority, but if he had died at that moment, it wouldn't be anything that he regretted. He live life to the fullest – well, the best he can do that, at least. He want to live a life without any regrets.
He's an inpulsive man, who often does things without planning them out properly. Living close to being killed, living on the edge of life, is a thrill to him. He can feel that he's alive when he's in dangerous situations. It doesn't matter if it's robbing trains or getting involved in gunfights in another world, anything that give him that feeling of excitement works for him.
At the same time as he can be a big idiot, he's also intelligent. Not concerning everything – far from – but he's still knowledgeable about a lot of different – often useless – things. Some of the useful things that he knows about is trains, banks and guns. And also how to efficiently rob both banks and trains; that's what he's done for a living, after all. He know about ranching, about rustling and farming, but he don't really enjoy those things.
Due to the fact that he often acts without thinking, he can seem quite rude or brash. But it's not like he mean to be rude all the time; he can be polite if he want to be. Although he does swear a lot.
He's a pretty cheerful person, though, and it's easy for him to get along with most people – even if he might be a little bad with foreign names, choosing to call people by nicknames instead.
He's smart, and know how to plan things like robberies. But he is still pretty simple-minded and pure-hearted, and love doing things that entertain him. He love meeting new and interesting people, and won't hesitate to start a conversation about anything. The people he like the most are the type with a lot of guts and courage, who are a lot like himself. Of course, it's even better if he can talk about the things he most enjoy. Like cigarettes, booze and how to rob banks and trains.
Butch is a heavy smoker, and has even said that he'd kill for a smoke. That isn't completely true, however. After all, Sundance Kid have two cigarettes that he refuse to give to butch, and he haave yet to be killed. Then again, Kid is Butch's only friend from America in the Drif World. If someone else had hid cigarettes from him and he'd known it, he might actually have gone and shot them.
With this, it show that he can be a little unstable, but it's not really a problem at most times. There are times that he really need to focus, though, where he can't because he's craving a cigarette too much. He wish that he could smoke as much as he want until the day he dies.
Abilities: One hell of a gunner. He's great with them. Not magical at all, though.
