To apply, fill out the form below and post it as a comment to this page. Feel free to check out the Application FAQ if you have any questions! Please also note that some applications may take longer to process than others; while we strive to go in the order they were received, certain canons may require additional research on the mod's behalf and thus may be delayed. If this is the case, we will leave a note saying so!
Everything else should be explained in the application itself below. Please post your submission as a link to a journal post!
Player Information
*Name/Alias: (Give us something to call you)
*Your Journal: (Do you have a personal journal account on DW? If not, put 'N/A' instead)
*Age: (If you don't want to give a specific age, please note whether or not you're over 16.)
*Contact Information: (Please give us a way to contact you! Please not that unless you request otherwise, this is the information that will be made public on the 'taken' page.)
*Characters already in the game: (For those players who already have characters in the game. First time players please put 'N/A.')
Character Information
*Character Name: (Give us the character's whole name, not only one part of. <- Ex: Optimus Prime, Megatron, Samuel James Witwicky.)
*Character Canon: (Name the specific canon/continuity that your character is from. Ex: Star Trek: The 2009 movie, & Star Trek: The Next Generation)
*Age: (If you don't know the specific age, give us a general idea; ex - 'child' or 'extremely old')
*Race: (Are you playing a Cybertronian? A human? Something else entirely?)
*Timeline/Pull Point: (Please give as much context as possible, such as including a short summary in addition to the episode number.)
*History: (We will accept links to a wiki for Canon characters. However, in lieu of a link (for characters with short wikis or without much canon information) we would like to see a summary of the character's past in your own words. Try to include as little headcanon as possible. In the case of AUs/OCCs, we'll need more than just a wiki link!)
*Personality: (Please be clear, concise, and complete. We're looking for at least two or three paragraphs.)
*Powers/Abilities: (What special abilities does your character have? Assume we know nothing about them or their species (unless they're a standard human). Please include any skills or qualities of note, ex, 'experienced sniper', 'genius level intelligence', etc.
Overpowered characters will result in revisions. If your character is more powerful than one of the 13, you're doing it wrong. The Lambda is capable of dampening a character's abilities, so feel free to make use of this if you need to.)
*Inventory: (What your character is coming in with. If these items do special things, be detailed in describing them! And please note the notes describing limits.)
*Starting Polarity: (If you have a preference for which Firstforged you will be aligned with, please note it here! Further information about Polarity can be found here. A list of the active 13 can be found here. Mods have final say, but will take your suggestion into account.)
If AU, how does your character differ from canon?: (Non AU apps may ignore this question. CRAUs and OAUs should get in to specifics here regarding what changes there are from their character's original canon. We'll need at least a paragraph explaining details.)
Writing Samples
(These should be stand-alone samples. You may re-use samples from other applications you have written, but will not be accepting links to previous threads/museboxes/dear mun: the sample should be visible within your app.)
*First Person Sample: (A first person sample should show us how your character communicates over the Link - via text, audio, or video. Optional Prompt: Your best friend/ally/accomplice/favorite minion has gone missing, and you suspect they're on the planet somewhere. Make a broadcast that indicates your need for their return, and describes this individual to help others identify them.)
*Third Person Sample: (This should be a few paragraphs of prose-style action. It should focus on your character, and should offer some insight in to their thought patterns, the way they interact with the world, and overall should give us an idea of both them and your own writing style. We like to see creativity used here in preference to rehashing of a canon scene. Optional Prompt: You wake up in the middle of a vast, unfamiliar, rocky terrain, underneath a strange sky. Who do you call for? What do you do?)
Final Notes: (Need to cover anything that hasn't already been covered? Use this spot. Or just ignore it if you've already gotten everything down.)

REVISIONS
--Power Elaborations:
-Physical strength: Your app mentions that he is able to 'fight evenly with Four Arms and Humongosaur.' We are curious what a real-world comparison of this would be so that we can get a better idea on what he's capable of.
-Absorbing tech: We would like more information on this ability. What does this entail? Does this character eat and then regurgitate the tech, does he make a copy of it, or does he just obtain the blueprints for it? An example of how this works would be especially helpful.
-Tachyon cannon: This was mentioned on the wiki page but not in your app, so we'd just like to confirm that Malware will not be arriving with it.
Please post your revisions within 72 hours. If this isn’t enough time, please let us know!
Revised powers and ablilites.
Malware has immense physical strength, much stronger than the average human and is strong enough to fight evenly with Four Arms and Humongosaur, two of Ben's strongest aliens. Like other Mechamorphs, Malware can fire a beam from his singular eye as an offensive measure. Malware's claws are extremely sharp and he has no qualms using them as weapons.
Malware's biggest ability however, is what seperates him from other Mechamorphs. Because of the circumstances of his creation, Malware can absorb tech instead of upgrading it. The size of the device is inconsequential. Once absorbed, Malware can control it as easily as if it were a part of his body. However, the technology in question will crumple to dust. Malware's tech absorbtion abilites are quite versatile. Malware can either absorb the tech into his body, causing him to mutate in size and shape while it crumbles to dust or can create a blueprint of a device, like he did with the Ommitrix.
One notable weapon he absorbed was a Tachyon Cannon, a powerful Plumber weapon of last resort that keys into the target's bio-signature and disrupts every individual cell with matching DNA. If it were to hit a human, every human in 100 miles would be killed. For game reasons, he will not have this weapon.
Malware is also skilled at hacking, as demonstrated in Malefactor where he downloads the Galvan Planetary Defense Codes. His powers are very viral and can corrupt any technology, even technology linked to a planet. If this were to happen, Malware would assimilate and merge with the planet. For game reasons, he won't do that here.
In terms of weakness, Malware is more vulnerable to electrical attacks due to his liquid metallic body. Electromagnetic fields can disrupt him, rendering him unable to keep his shape. Malware's pride is also a weakness as he overestimates himself and underestimates his opponents.

Notes: As we still had some questions about Malware's Power-levels, we've decided implement the following limits:
-Size: As he absorbs tech/changes, the maximum size he'll be able to reach is 50ft.
-Physical strength: Malware's strength will be comparable to most Cybertronians/large robots.
-Mortality: Due to fluctuations in the Lambda, killing Malware will be possible (if still very difficult by his regenerative nature.)
-Hacking/Tech absorbtion: Possible with permission from other players. Hacking Firstforged technology or finding extremely lethal technology to absorb will not be possible without mod approval.
If you have questions on any of the above, feel free to PM this account!
