C A N O N
I'll probably get the decision up by tonight, so revisions won't help unless you plan on filling up the backline, a.k.a the purgatory where you hope the players in-game die for you to fill in
Linger: Complete. August, 1995. I met him. A branch off Part 3. Mikiya keeps his promise to meet Azaka, and meets again with that mysterious girl he once found in the rain.
Shinkai: Set in the Edo period. DHO-centric. As mysterious figures gather in the city, a young woman unearths the dark secrets of the Asakami family.
The Dollkeeper: A Fate side-story. The memoirs of the last tuner of the Einzberns. A record of the end of a family.
Overcount 2030: Extra x Notes. A girl with no memories is found by a nameless soldier, and wakes up to a world of war.
Isn't that life already.

Independent feedback:
Bloble (1) - Your strongest sheet. Oozes personality, with a solid powerset that complements itself. Serious without going overboard, with just enough quirkiness to keep it charming. Overall, the personality is the carry of the character, which you can feel in pretty much every corner of the sheet. There’s not much more to say about this that I haven’t already said before.
Bloble (3) - Decent, but not really as interesting as your other sheets. A character whose background is revealed by the GM as gameplay goes on is an interesting idea, but it does feel a bit sparse for that.
Draconic - Your powerset is the strong suit of this sheet— distinctive enough on its own and not too convoluted, overall good— nothing much more to say about that. However your backstory seems a bit overwrought and almost cartoonish, and it seems to try too hard to make someone who is “good”, which in the end doesn’t seem too interesting.
Frantic (1) - If I had a gripe with a lot of your previous sheets, it’s that they try too hard to be “protagonist-y”, so as this one avoids this problem, it’s probably my favorite of yours yet. Refreshingly without the usual seriousness or angst a lot of sheets tend to lean towards, and fun without going into territory that’s outright dumb or ridiculous. Leans more toward the cyberpunk aspect, which is good.
Frantic (2) - 2D’s better.
Katie (2) - The stronger of your two sheets, and probably has one of my favorite backstories of what I’ve gotten. Not too long, distinctive, and gives a good idea of the type of sheet this is. Has the benefit of a more focused character built around one idea, rather than a grab-bag that ends up making a kit. As for your custom Strain, it’s unique enough that it doesn’t feel redundant to existing ones, but not overpowered enough to be dumb.
Palad1n - Solid, if simple skillset, and it was nice to see some make a Knight of a Noble House. However, the backstory’s a bit long. Overall, it’s good and without any real flaws, and there’s not much more to say about it.
Race (1) - The use of your King’s powers make your melee build stand out quite a bit more from a lot of other similar builds, and I think this is maybe the only sheet that actually took a vehicle. Plenty of personality, distinctive combat style, and overall a very solid contender. Personally, I think this sheet’s stronger than your Sector one.
Raffles (1) - Of course, your original sheet is your strongest. You tend to give your sheets nicely flawed personalities, and surprisingly the powerset you took was comparatively rare for what it is, compared to most of the other common powers. Not much more to say about this one, other than that it’s good.
Raffles (3) - ばか
Snow - Funnily enough, the first thing I noticed was that your character had a family without being like a hundred years old, which was actually relatively rare compared to most sheets. Good, cyberpunk-y and setting-appropriate backstory, and pretty unique applications of your powers. Overall, very solid sheet.
With that done, decisions will probably come sometime tonight.

Actually… never mind no it's not. At least not for me.
Kirby, I'd like to resign in favor of being shortlisted, if you're actually doing that. If I'm being honest, I think your critique was actually generous in saying my character was boring and cartoonish. I found four plot inconsistencies since the deadline, and I can honestly say that he just doesn't reach the standard of quality that I managed with my Fort 2 character. I'd rather just back out for now and overhaul a chunk of the sheet for the opportunity to get in at a later date.

Same here. I'll probably end up using the other sheet if given the chance.

"Wait. How so?"
"Because it's the only thing Mankind can ever give a shit about"

Meet the roster.
Plue, as ARBALEST
Lace, as EGLANTINE
Frantic, as 2D
Prix, as LILITH
Bloble, as VIDOFNIR
Katie, as PENANCE
(Apparently Fran thought he was in Underworld so we switched him over). Congratulations on everyone who made it in, and a big thanks to everyone who applied! We got a lot of good sheets, so it was a tough decision. If you didn't make it in, but I said I liked your sheet, pick a god and pray that one of these dudes gets themselves killed.

Wow, I am actually surprised. Thanks, Kirby! And congratulations and consolations to everyone else.
For the record, I have little to no idea what I'm doing, so I might die if you're holding out for that.
Imagine that the world is made out of love. Now imagine that it isn’t.
Imagine a story where everything goes wrong, where everyone has their back against the wall, where everyone is in pain and acting selfishly because if they don’t, they’ll die.
Imagine a story, not of good against evil, but of need against need against need, where everyone is at cross-purposes and everyone is to blame.

Well, congrats guys.
That said, I'm expecting people to die with all the angst that's gonna be taking place here. On the other hand, I'm assuming a bunch of you took Reform, so first death forecast is sometime in mid-to-late-2018, followed by conspiracy to cover it up.
Character formerly known as INTERDICTOR will be undergoing maintenance for some time. I'll let you know when he's ready. He'll be more interesting the next time you see him. And a lot less contrived.
Grats on those who got in. Have fun!

I finally feel happy for people getting in even if I didn't.
Thank god I strangled Murphy's Law. I won if I got in, but if I get rejected I still win.
Honestly, it's kind of a relief. I don't want to play my character the way he is now.

Like, it's really bad. I'm serious about Kirby being generous on his critique. Aside from being boring, the backstory is ridiculously contrived.
