Application
Applications are currently closed!
This round is closed to previous voidtreckers only. That is any character that you have played in the Voidtrecker Express before. It doesn't matter if you had the character for a few days or played for years.
Because it is our last round there are a few exceptions to our usual app rules:
~ For this round you may go over the capp of 4 characters per person if you wish to and believe you can play them all through endgame.
~ For this round you may app more than one character at a time as long as you believe you can play them all through endgame.
~ Our usual rule on having 3 versions of any character has been lifted. You may re-app a character even if there are three of them in game. As long as it is a previous voidtrecker character they can be played- even if the character has since been apped by someone else.
When apping for this round it would be easiest for us for you to find your original app comment on this page and link it for us in a new comment!

Re: Revisions
Stubbornness: Ichigo is not the type to quit, ever. He can be actively bleeding and he will still keep fighting. Think the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. At one point he literally had a hole blown through his chest and kept fighting because his hollow took over and kept him going. (Hollows are known as such because they have holes in them where their hearts used to be, so it was no big thing to Zangetsu.) He's also the type to keep others' hopes up in what would otherwise be a hopeless situation because he is the one who will refuse to accept that something is indeed hopeless. He is not rude about it, and he does consider others' thoughts and feelings, but he will also do his best to motivate them. If someone does want to stop or give up, and he hasn't been able to convince them, he will support their choice as long as he knows they won't be in danger. If they will be in danger, he will cover their retreat.
Drive to help: A lot of Ichigo's drive to help comes from being a big brother and the lessons his mother taught him before she died. She always made sure he knew the real meaning of his name, Number One Protector, and told him that as a big brother he would be in charge of protecting his sisters. This grew to include his friends as he gained his powers. His friends also gained powers of their own as a result of constant exposure to his uncontrollable reiatsu, and were then able to stand with him, but he will still throw himself in front of danger to protect others. In the start of the canon, he punishes a group of punks who destroyed a roadside memorial for a young girl because he could see her spirit and knew how sad it made her. So while he does absolutely recognize the strength of others, he will most certainly protect those who cannot protect themselves. It absolutely comes from a place of love and kindness.
Differing views: When people have different views from him, Ichigo will usually be happy to agree to disagree. Unless someone's life is in danger because of it. In his canon, the shinigami who gave him her powers was sentenced to be executed for doing so once the act was discovered. Because her sacrifice had allowed him to save his sisters, this was not something he could let stand, and he went on a mission to save her life. In doing so, he fought her brother. The brother had sworn an oath to his parents' graves that he would never again break a rule like he had when he had married his late wife and when he had adopted his sister, so was supporting the execution ruling. Ichigo felt that this was the sign of a terrible older brother, and did his best to beat this lesson into his opponent. So as long as your different opinion doesn't mean someone has to die needlessly, he's happy to agree to disagree.
Becoming a doctor: Ichigo chose to be a doctor in part because it is a bit expected of him to take over the clinic, and also as a way of helping people. Because of his strong drive to protect and look after others, being a doctor is his way of normalizing that in his human life. Being a shinigami and protecting the souls of the dead is still something that he does, but he knows that he will have centuries if not millennia of that after his death, so he wants to focus on protecting and looking after the living. And he sees being a doctor as the most effective way to do so. In the face of a crisis, now that he's older Ichigo will see where he is needed the most before acting. If they need someone on combat, he will happily jump in head first. If they need a medic, he will focus on that. His biggest drawback will be if he forgets to get his body somewhere safe before jumping into the fray. He won't have his mod-soul to operate his body when he is in his shinigami form, so his body will just...lay there. In the way.
Bullying: Being bullied over his hair color has impacted Ichigo a great deal. He has zero tolerance for bullying, and will step in if he sees it happening, regardless of the circumstances. He firmly believes there is never any justification to judge someone else on anything but their actions. And even then, bullying someone for their behavior is still not okay. Using the recent events on the train as an example, he would be horrified by Xue Yang's behavior in murdering A-Qing, but as Wester is not in a position of authority as a non-council member, Ichigo also would not condone their actions. So he would very much have words with Wester, and would be wanting to leave Xue Yang's punishment up to either A-Qing herself and/or the council since they were elected as the leadership by the passengers.
Expanded sample:
Pressing the combat pass to his chest, Ichigo left his body. It was like being shoved forcefully from behind and in front at the same time. He heard his body land with a thud and turned, grimacing at the sight of it. He was going to have a wicked headache when he got back in it. Picking up his own corpse, since that was basically what it was, was always a strange experience, and he wished he'd had Kon handy instead of just his pass when he'd been brought to the station. At least the mod soul could be trusted to keep his body safe from most things. Still, he tucked it into the narrow cot that was assigned to him, and headed out the door. He wanted to be able to explore the train while feeling safe in case he came across any danger. Besides, he was hungry and could move much faster as a soul. Stepping into shunpo, he rushed through the corridors, dodging other passengers as he zipped past them on his way to the front of the train. It was interesting how much had been fit into such a narrow space, as well as how long the train was in general. When he got to the medical car, he stopped, chewing on his lip for a moment. Would the others on the train be able to see him like this? If he went in and asked to be put to work, would anyone know? He decided to give it a try, and knocked on the door to await an answer. It couldn't hurt to ask, right?
Bonus: a small snippet from the recent TDM. It only has a few tags so far, not enough on its own, but hopefully it will be helpful for you. TDM with a character from the same canon.
