APPLICATION
OOC
Player/Contact: Your name and how to contact you.
Other Characters: List what characters you currently have in game. N/A if none.

IC
Name: Character's name
Canon: Character's canon
Canon Point: What point in the timeline of your character's canon you're pulling them from.
Age: How old your character is. Please describe if there is a difference between physical/mental age. If there is no canon age, fanon/headcanon is fine.

History/Personality: Simply linking to a character's wiki(a) page is fine. If no wiki page exists, please write a short blurb about their actions in canon and what sort of person they are. You may use bullet points and external links to videos, screenshots etc. as needed. No need to go overboard! If you are applying for an OC of any kind, you may follow the same metrics, but please provide as much background as possible for any original universes/explain canon-specific choices (such as what route they've taken in-game, etc).

Would you consider your character to be heroic? Why or why not?: Feel free to interpret 'heroic' however you please. This answer can be brief, but we're looking for insight on the character and how you, the player, see them.

Powers/Abilities: Link to a wiki if possible, otherwise list a brief account of skills, magical abilities, etc. Bullet points and external links are fine.
Inventory: What your character will have on them upon arrival. If they have an animal companion, mention that here as well.

Coterie: List which coterie your character will be joining: Jaguars, Eagles, Vipers or Salamanders. You can explain your choice if you like, but it's not necessary. Put "RNG" if you would like us to choose a coterie randomly for you.

Samples: Link two threads you have done with the character from within the last two years. There is no specific comment length, but they must be long enough to give a good example of how you've played the character. They can be from a previous game, meme or musebox—anywhere is fine. Please only use texting threads (such as TFLN) if it demonstrates a good example of characterization and isn't just shitposting. We will not accept written samples, so if you do not currently have two threads with this character, the TDM is a good place to start!

IC
Name: Ken Kaneki
Canon: Tokyo Ghoul:re
Canonpoint: Post-Chapter 99
Age: 23 years

History/Personality: History | Personality
Kaneki's personality is a little tricky, as he goes through several "phases" of personality (including a stint of amnesia in which he was essentially operating as an entirely different person). His current canon-point synthesizes his character development from the beginning of the comic through the Third Cochlea Raid. I'm happy to provide any further elaboration if desired.

Would you consider your character to be heroic? Why or why not?: Though he's the protagonist of his series and, by his canonpoint, the leader of a revolutionary group which seeks to reshape the very structure of the world into one which champions parity and understanding between ghouls and humans, I am hard-pressed to argue that he is a purely heroic figure. My reasoning lies not within his goals but within his motivations. The integral flaw of Kaneki's character is that he is an incredibly passive character at his core — he rarely makes a critical decision without being influenced by the impetus of others, either coloring or overriding his own. He becomes the leader of Goat not because of everything he has seen and experienced as a half-ghoul in his cruel world but because the crown of the One-Eyed King had been left to him by two other authoritative figures in his life. It's not to say he doesn't believe in his newfound mission, but it becomes doubtful that he would have unerringly made the same decision should that outside influence have been absent.

So within the structure of his own narrative, no, Kaneki often fails to be heroic. He changes often (almost fickly and usually in whatever way makes what he's trying to do easiest and most palatable to him), but he struggles to make concrete enough character development to stop from making the same mistakes at the end of the story as he did in the beginning. Where the wrinkle in all of this comes is that he is a very heroic figure to others. Regardless of his personal reasons, he becomes a lodestone to which all of the disparate individuals of his revolutionary group look to when the outlook of their struggle seems uncertain. Because he is so motivated by his desire to aid or protect others, one could also say that his self-sacrificing selflessness is another heroic trait which many would find admirable.

So when asked whether or not Kaneki is "heroic"... it's a little of Column A, a little of Column B. In a world as vicious and dire as his own, it's very difficult to be a hero, especially not for an individual whose continued survival invariably comes at the expense of others' lives. But he has always been unflinching in observing the twisted truth of that world, and though he was largely set up to be put into the position to do so, he is serious about trying to change it for the better.

Powers/Abilities: Here, though please discount anything having to do with "Dragon."
Inventory: Not much! Just the clothes on his back.

Coterie: Jaguars. He'd find himself most at use protecting others.

Samples:
— One
— Two

In a bind?

We did all you asked, we left our homes, we sacrificed, now this... why? Why, Pathfinder?
