Query: if the setting is something I put together as a bit of homebrew for another system entirely, does it count as a "media" setting?

If it's entirely your own creation, even if it's for another system, then that's fine. (Just a reminder, though, if you're wanting to be considered at all, you'll have to join the Skype chat.)

Alright here's my character her name is Veronica FaerbanksQuestionare for after the background is read. 1. Who's the most important person to me? Well I suppose the Demon Lord would want me to say him, but then again there is that cute Elven bartender who works on first...or maybe the mermaid sisters down at the pier.
Just joshing, I'd obviously choose the Badtime Stories, If I had to pick one? Boojangles, he's been watching over me since I became a ghost. I'd do anything for the little guy.
2. Hmmm how do I take adversity? Well when I was young I ran from it obviously...but if more then a millennia of living taught me anything, it's that problems stick around till you deal with them. Don't leave things half finished
3. My worst decision? I bet most people would think it's what led me here, and I'll admit it was a pretty bad one. But there's one worse. You see there used to be a 4th Badtime Story, A little boy named Henry caught in a stump, people call those Phantups. He needed the stumped burnt to pass on.
Unfortunately the little guy was afraid of fire. So I offered him a spot on the team figured it would happen in the line of duty, and promised I'd be there when he passed.
Well one day I think he's experienced to go off on his own. So I let him, a bit later I hear him yell, but I was right on the perps tail. So I caught him first and checked on Henry. All I found was a pile of ash. Turns out the guy was working with a Salamander.
Henry passed on scared and alone...I'll always regret never going back to be with him like I promised.
4.My favorite weather? When I was alive, I remember loving cloudless days. Seeing a sea of blue over head. But Ghosts and sunlight don't really mix. I learned to love cloudy nights when there was a full moon, since the full illuminated the clouds letting you see the shapes.
Now with the Demon Lords blessing letting me be in the sun I'm not sure which is better. I'd say the latter I've lived with it longer
5.Do anything I like? You know you probably think I'd say. Come back to life, or Bring Henry back, but I'm happy as a ghost who can touch, it's the best of both worlds.
As for Henry the little guys passed on, it would be selfish robbing him of the afterlife just to make myself feel better.
Now there's 2 things I'd like the selfish choice I wouldn't pick, Which is to get the ability to change clothes. I've had these things on for so long they've actually come back into style.
The nonselfish one I'd make myself pick is brokering peace between Avalon and the humans, stop the petty squabbling so we can put an end to the syndicates affecting both of us. Maybe have a future where the whole of Mythical kind isn't stuck in a 350 square mile space.

Nette of Cherigrove looking to migrate over here from the Pokétrian Odysssey. And here's the questionnaire: 1. Who is the most important person to your character, and why is that?Nette would have a hard time to decide, if only because she wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. But in the end she would pick Sariah, the Adventure Guild assistant. She is always friendly to her, gave her her pokémon and - perhaps best of all - is scatterbrained enough that Nette doesn't mind asking her silly questions. 2. How does your character handle setback and adversity?Stubborn retries until it becomes painfully obvious that that doesn't work (or it, you know, actually works!). Then she'll mope a bit and try and get someone to help, but does her best to do that without looking like she actually needs help. 3. What is the decision that your character most regrets? Why?There was this one time where she wasn't looking and managed to step on a Ferroseed. It was *exceedingly* pointy and sharp and oh oh oh ... 4. What weather is your character’s favorite?Summer rain where the sun shines trough. That's like having your cake and eating it too! 5. If your character had the opportunity to do one thing, and knew that they couldn’t fail, what would it be?She would drag the entire Adventurer's Guild out to meet her family, all the branches. Or perhaps the other way around.

I present Ezra Throp a Conman (Provocateur/Hobbyist/Mentor) from the industrialist metropolis of Dioma. 1. Who is the most important person to your character, and why is that? Let’s see, Skrips is usually good for a laugh or one of those imported cigars of his but don’t catch him on a bad day.... Hmmmm. Lou tends to be pretty quiet but he’s always got your back when you need him. Robar’s too quick to jab someone who gets under his skin, he’s great when you need to get somewhere fast though. Selis is pretty good for a magi but there’s always something about them, they almost feel hollow sometimes. She tries her best though. I think it’s the training, really messes with their heads. I guess it’d have to be Lina. She’s always got a new story and when we’ve got a new job she’s the one who gets me the credentials I need to get in. While the others are great she’s the one I feel like I can actually talk to. 2. How does your character handle setback and adversity?It’s always a bit annoying to admit to yourself but if something goes wrong during a job It usually means that it’s time to get out of there as fast as possible. Ideally, we’ll have made contingencies to keep things running smoothly but that doesn’t always work out for the best. If everything goes so badly that I can’t even get out it’s usually time to start a fire, that tends to distract people enough for me to get out. That or Skrips will put down some explosives and knock down a wall or two. 3. What is the decision that your character most regrets? Why? When I was a kid my mentor tried to burn down the house with me in it. I’ve always assumed for the insurance money. I escaped but we got into a fight right next to the house. I shoved him to get him away from me and I will always remember the look on his face as a burning wall came down on him. My biggest regret is that push, I know what he did but I don’t know if anyone really deserves that. 4. What weather is your character’s favorite? Living in a smog-covered city makes me miss rain. Like proper rain that doesn’t leave charcoal smudges everywhere. I remember how green everything looked afterward and the earthy smell hanging on the air. Now it just smells like soot most of the time. Hmmm. Well, I guess there’s not much point in thinking about it too long. 5. If your character had the opportunity to do one thing, and knew that they couldn’t fail, what would it be?That’s pretty easily actually. I’d take out The Ragman. He’s the local kingpin and I’m pretty sure that I’d be dead in a day or two if I tried to leave. So yeah, if I could do anything I would kill him. Unfortunately, he’s a rather powerful magi. People have tried but he hasn’t shown any signs that they affect him. As it is I'd rather not try, I don't know if I could take losing anyone because of it.

I'm jumping in with a semi last minute app, Superbia Dein Nomos An exiled Demon Lord. 1. Who is the most important person to your character, and why is that? The most important person to Superbia is most likely his younger brother Ira. Ignoring anything else, Ira is the one who joined him in exile and his helping him to retake the throne. 2. How does your character handle setback and adversity? Before, Superbia would have thrown his men at the problem until it went away, no matter how many he lost. Now however, he tends to try and see the problem from a different angle and approach it from that direction. 3. What is the decision that your character most regrets? Why? He won't admit it, but he still regrets his actions during his first mission as an officer, the one that got him disowned and exiled. Knowing he casually sacrificed so many lives and set up his sister Invidia to take the throne eventually, and he can see her envy leading them only down a path to more loss. 4. What weather is your character’s favorite? Clear blue skies when it still isn't too warm out. No clouds in site, just a vast blue emptiness above 5. If your character had the opportunity to do one thing, and knew that they couldn’t fail, what would it be? He challenge his father to a duel for the throne. Settling things without an excess loss of life, while also being able to take the satisfaction in knowing he didn't need anyone else to do it. Yes, he would take the throne with his own hands and nothing else.

Introducing Calixste Tiavys, recently signed semi-pro athlete(although he's not really an athlete but shh it makes sense in the context of this fictional sport) with a name that is impressively difficult to even begin to pronounce. Unused Interview Questions and Answers Who is the most important person to your character, and why is that?"Coming out swinging with your questions, huh? I'd have to say... probably Yinela Pevera. She was the previous commander of the Draves back in college, and she was the one that encouraged me to step up and take the position, while she rotated to a bruiser position. We still keep in contact regularly and spend time together whenever we can, one of my few friendships that have really lasted. She's playing as a bruiser for the Rivlan Valiant right now, so she beat me to being fielded in a primary army, but who knows, if things go well, I might get signed to a primary soon enough."How does your character handle setback and adversity?"Most people, when they encounter a challenge, think that the only way to deal with it is to tackle it head on. If you give up, then the problem has defeated you, they think. I think that line of thinking is stupid. Problems want you to tackle them head on. There's two ways I try to deal with problems. The first is to change the nature of the problem. Say that I'm dealing with an enemy commander who is a redblade known for being able to charge straight through enemy lines and break formations. I'd much rather use a single unit to attempt to cripple them, so that their charge won't work. Then, I still have to deal with a strong enemy, but the nature of the problem has changed to one that I hopefully have better tools to deal with. The second way to deal with a problem is to change yourself, so that the challenge set forth against you is ineffective with dealing with you. Using the previous example, simply don't use formations. Split your army up into guerilla squads, or tell you lines to intentionally break and surround the commander when they're deep into enemy lines. Change yourself, and often the problem, while still there, is now ineffective at dealing with you."What is the decision that your character most regrets? Why?"Regrets? Well, the easy answer is going out on a walk that night. Would have rather liked to have not been nearly crushed to death. However, more seriously... Hmm, that's a tough question. I don't know if this is the real answer to the question, but I have a very distinct memory as a young child of being close friends with a young girl. She had decided to have an Aestheta operation at the time, and I didn't act favorably to her knew appearance, I was too surprised. I think I accidentally crushed her, and we stopped talking soon after. I'd very much like to be able to change that, looking back."What weather is your character’s favorite?"Ooh, now this is a good question! Oh, it's so hard to choose. Can I say two? Well I don't care, I'm going to say two anyway. You know how in the summer, after a long period of rain, it suddenly begins to rain, and there's this delicious, charged scent in the air. It's the one of a kind fresh rain. You can't get it in the fall when it rain constantly, but it occasionally happens in the spring too. I love that feeling, that scent, the invisible charge in the air. As for my second one, it would have to be a breezy spring day. Clear skies, or close to it, air rushing past constantly. It's hard to feel more alive than that."If your character had the opportunity to do one thing, and knew that they couldn’t fail, what would it be? "If I knew I couldn't fail? I... I don't think this is a good question for me. I don't like things that I can't fail at. It makes whatever you do meaningless. If there's no challenge, no adversity, if you don't have to prove yourself to achieve your goal, what's the point?"

Sorry for the hasty last-minute submission, but here's the sheet for Lucas Albin, a throwback character to a PTU contest campaign, Fabulous Kalos. (Unfortunately with an incomplete backstory atm. Sorry Jim.)
1. Who is the most important person to your character, and why is that? The most important person to Lucas isn't actually a human but his first pokemon companion, Ashe. He discovered the Shuppet a year ago, abandoned with her pokeball in an alleyway of Lumiose City for reasons unknown, and he felt a certain kinship with it due to the sense of loneliness he felt from her. Meanwhile, the ghost took an immediate liking to Lucas and wouldn't leave him alone even if he had wanted her to, so he ended up stuck with her and, as the boy quickly discovered, her mischievous antics. Ashe is a prankster through and through, gleefully manipulating and stringing along Lucas and his emotions to get what she wants. However, she truly cares about Lucas and his well-being, thus why she tricked him into entering the Kalosian League. She understood that it wasn't healthy for Lucas to stay the way he was, an empty soul with no aspirations, so even if it made him upset or mad at her temporarily, she knew it was for his sake. (Well, that and she wanted to be famous.) Despite the way Ashe constantly teases and messes with him, Lucas wouldn't trade her for the world, as she's his best and only real friend. 2. How does your character handle setback and adversity? If the situation doesn't involve him on a personal level, Lucas will approach it cautiously and logically, taking small steps at a time to ensure nothing goes wrong. However, if something goes unexpectedly or he gets backed into a corner, his knee-jerk reaction is to avoid the actual problem, be it a physical obstacle or otherwise, and find another way around entirely to reach a safe zone. Although sometimes it ends up working out, more often than not the consequences will come back to haunt him. 3. What is the decision that your character most regrets? Why? Ever since the accident, Lucas has been torn on the fact that if he didn't listen to Lily just once and not attend the audition, she never would have gotten into the car crash that took her life. After all, all he had to do was say no. It would have been the first time ever that he denied her what she asked, but it would have saved her life, and the thought of it wrenches his heart. 4. What weather is your character’s favorite? Lucas likes it most when it's sunny after the rain, when the fresh scent is still hanging in the air and he can watch raindrops slowly and rhythmically fall from the overhang of his apartment's balcony like liquid crystal sparkling in the sunlight. 5. If your character had the opportunity to do one thing, and knew that they couldn’t fail, what would it be? Lucas would go back in time and save Lily from the car crash in a heartbeat. She never deserved to die like that, and he hates that there was nothing he could have done to prevent it besides not participate in the audition, which she had wanted him to do no matter what.

Alright, so, in the end, I ultimately decided to go with 4. I think I should hopefully be able to handle that, what with only a maximum of three Pokémon each.
So, with that, the lucky characters that get to be cast into endless purple are, in no particular order: Robot's Iga Ieyasu Breakthelevee's Superbia Nomos Oddeyes' Ritsuko Pandora's Lucas Albyn
Congratulations, and I'll have the starting thread up... at some point.
