CONTACT/TEAM PREFERENCES

A comment separate from your app with your name, email, and team preferences. Making it a separate comment lets us keep it screened, thus keeping your team preferences private.

For the time zone field, feel free to make a note if working bizarre hours makes you effectively on a different time zone than stated.

"Team preferences" is a catch-all field for any thoughts you might have regarding your character's placement. For example, you might want a team that will put up with your character's sociopathy, or has a certain "feel" to it, or is friendly to your time zone, or maybe you don't think your character looks good in orange, and so on! This is also the spot to let us know if there are teams you DON'T want to be on. While you're not required to put anything here, don't say you have no preference unless you really, honestly have NOTHING to say on the subject! If you've already apped and realized you'd forgotten something? Make another comment!

Character Name: Yuri Lowell
Canon: Tales of Vesperia
Reference Link: http://aselia.wikia.com/wiki/Yuri_Lowell

Character History: Yuri Lowell, an orphan born and raised in the Imperial capital of Zaphias, starts off the game as more or less a trouble-making no-account. In the past, he attempted to join the Imperial knights with his childhood friend Flynn to help combat the unfairness from within, but after only a few months he became too embittered with it and quit. Since then, he’s been enforcing justice in his own way, committing petty acts of rebellion against any official harassing the Lower Quarter. During a quest trying to find the missing magical item needed to power the Lower Quarter’s water supply, Yuri gets tossed in an Imperial jail cell. While escaping he runs into a ~mysterious girl~ who claims she has an urgent warning to convey to Flynn, and since Yuri needs to split town both to beat the fuzz and look for the missing magical item, he agrees to travel with her so long as their paths remain the same.

While journeying with Estelle Yuri continues to witness terrible people doing terrible things and he turns himself into a vigilante, murdering them when they escape punishment from the law. He also starts a guild with his party member Karol. And as the guild derps around trying to find its purpose the party accidentally gets embroiled in a plot to stop a power-mad Commandant and save the world from an eldritch horror. The former doesn’t go so well but the latter goes pretty splendidly and Yuri and co. save the world by destroying its main source of technology go team!
Personality: Yuri is a very brash guy, flippant to the point of disrespect and arrogantly casual even in the face of impending death. But Yuri’s really only a troublemaker in the sense that he feels strongly and can’t stand looking at hypocrisy and injustice. He’s incapable of not helping someone in front of him that’s in need, but equally incapable of keeping his mouth shut when someone is clearly doing wrong. He’s not an idealist who thinks the whole world can be good, but he still has the determination to fix everything immediately in front of him.

Yuri is someone who is very, very independent, so if he encounters a problem he thinks he has to solve it himself—even if it’s technically someone else’s problem, too. But despite not being very open with people, Yuri is very good at handling people. He has an intuitive grasp of what people need to hear to get going and he also knows when people need space to make up their own mind. While Yuri has strong convictions, he doesn’t try to sell anyone on them, and believes strongly that everyone must make their own decisions about what they think is right.

Yuri comes off as the cool older brother type and a consummate party leader, always in control always in the know and ready with a careless sarcastic retort. Generally, Yuri has a good understanding of his own flaws—he’s undiplomatic, impatient, and his moral code is off the norm. Possibly, he is too aware of his flaws: in the past he has displayed bitterness and envy toward his best friend, Flynn, and his ‘perfect knight’ position. Even though Yuri is resolved to his actions, he still tends to slip into the mindset that there are certain things—the fame and repute that comes from having saved the world, for instance—he just doesn’t deserve because some of his actions have been wrong, and he refuses to justify himself. Yuri is usually very good at bottling these feelings, and most other feelings of worry, doubt, or hurt under a mask of nonchalance but when his loved ones/party members in danger Yuri can become highly emotional, even ruthless.

Writing Sample:
Yuri’s intro-post to Aather, a memory-loss rp.
