This is my application for Travis. It doesn't have to be the same, but here is just a basic idea of how I expect everything to be filled out:
TRAVIS RUSH
"It's better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not."
`I WOKE UP AND WISHED
THAT I WAS DEAD,
»basics
fullname || Travis Rush
nicknames || Trav
age || 24
gender || Male
orientation || Heterosexual
category || Mover
occupation || Currently a waiter at Felix Bar
power || Travis is able to move objects around him at will, no matter what the weight or size of the object is. The force mostly derives from his hands, not that he has to have contact with the object to do so, but in order to sufficiently balance it or move it he uses the energy that exerts the force from his palms and fingers. He can also use this force also to create waves of blows, when applied enough, to shatter certain objects. But using that ability takes a lot of stamina, so he doesn't use it too often unless he needs to.`THE WHOLE WORLD IS MOVING
AND I'M STANDING STILL,
»appearance
face claim || Jake Gyllenhaal
height/weight || 5'10''/140 lbs
distinguishing features || N/A
brief description || Travis is your average guy, except for that fact that he was born with these unusual abilities. His clothing style is casual, usually he just prefers to throw on a t-shirt, jeans, and a jacket. He doesn't really like to stand out, especially with what he can do, so Travis does his best to blend in and put on a relaxing appearance.
His hair is cropped short, and usually the front and middle sticks up in a spiky fashion while the rest flows towards the same direction. It gives his hair a tousled airy feel, almost as if he brushed his fingers through. The color of it is dark brown, a shade or two below black.
Travis does have a well toned body, not exactly bulging muscles but he's very fit. He does like to run occasionally or work out, but not as much as he used to. His skin color is an even peachy color, not that light, but not dark. It's a tint or so in between.
His height is average of a man his age and weight. He's usually taller then most women, and eye to eye with most men. And speaking of that, his eyes are a light aqua color, they're very bright compared to the rest of his face so they tend to stand out. Travis also has a bit of facial hair, stubble so to say. It grows over his lips and around his chin, and he only let's it grow that much. If it gets any hairier that's when he shaves it, but only to find it grow out a bit again the next day. Shaving constantly is not really his favorite thing to do. So occasionally his face will hold a bit of a rugged look.`AND EVERYTHING I SAID I'D DO

>> Attitude; If Travis gets into a fight his attitude slightly changes, because of his power he feels he can take on anyone. He used to work out a lot and really try to get himself as strong as he could be, and that just developed this bi-polar conceited persona.

overall || Travis is a very upbeat down-to-earth person. Instead of being all serious he usually tends to just smile and joke around, he keeps all the pain that bothers him inside. He doesn't like to be a downer, so he's one to be positive. He has a very 'cool' personality to him, just going with the flow and letting what opportunities come out to him happen. He only has one goal in life, and that is to find his sister. Nothing else really matters to him, so as to not be hurt he chooses not to bear any sort of responsibilities. It overwhelms him too much, so he'd rather not face them all at.
He doesn't use his powers when he doesn't have to, but sometimes Travis can use them for personal gain. He makes sure no one sees him doing anything, but one day he might slip up. In combat he's too thingyy for his own good, he doesn't know about the other possible paranormals. Travis is a fist fighter, to protect himself and get stronger he'll knock down whoever gets in his way. That way when he finds his family he'll be able to take care of them like a man should.`I JUST GOT LOST AND

backstory || Travis grew up in a small community on the west coast in California. His powers were genetic, and it scared him to death when he first realized he had them. But after a while Travis grew accustomed to it, now he can't imagine not having those powers. He learned to take control of it and master it to it's full potential, and even learn a couple of tricks. His sister was the same way, but her powers never developed as much as his did. They kept it as a secret between the two, and they realized it might have been something they got from their father. They never knew him, he left their lives when they were but young children. Travis tried to bring up this paranormal ability to his mother one day, but she thought he was just being crazy and childish. He didn't bother showing her at all, it was obvious she didn't have powers of her own. And so Travis and his younger sister continued to keep it between them both. They always had a strong bond, and with his mother not so much. Because of working so much she was never really around, and being older then Adele he held a special attachment to her.
One day an incident happened at their school, a bully was hurting his sister and she let it slip. No one knew exactly what had happened, but this scared Travis. He took his sister and they ran home, he didn't want anyone thinking they were 'freaks'. He felt it was his job to protect them both, but sadly that wasn't possible.
Adele was 14 and still in school, to take care of his dear sister and mother Travis chose to not pursue college and instead work. But something had happened to his sister at school again, she called Travis at his work with an urgent message. Someone was chasing her. He made his way as fast as he could, and upon finding her that was when he also came across Division One for the first time. Travis tried to avoid any sort of conflict, but that's what it came to. He only wanted to protect his sister, and he let out a force so great he could the bones shatter inside the black suited man. The sound haunted his memories, and unfortunately he couldn't keep his promise to protect her. In the end they captured her and took her away, it was inevitable. He called out to her that he would get her back someday, but he had to protect himself also. If he had died there then all of this effort was useless, for some reason he felt that they would keep her alive. But him against all of them wouldn't solve anything, and they even had a couple of people with abilities of their own. Travis wasn't sure if they were the same as him, but he knew he would be of no use trying to fight them.
Travis checked his home to tell his mom of the bad news, but she was gone. Everything was in shambles, and traces of his mom were nowhere to be found. It wasn't safe to be there anymore, so he fled. He fled and fled as far as he could go. Until he reached a city.
It had been four years since the incident, and since then he has done his homework. He found out information on Division One, and that they captured people with these 'abilities'. Travis trained day and night for the moment he would come face to face with them again, and if he had to shatter them all to reach his desire he would. But it still frightens him, because now he is not only wanted for being like this, but he also murdered one of them. It's easy to talk about how you would kill someone to protect the ones you love, but that moment still plays through his memories.
The first person he has on his mind to save is his sister, and he wants to know why his mother had disappeared also. Did she leave? Or was she captured? And even more Travis wants to meet his father. The one who 'supposedly' gave him his abilities. He just wants to learn the truth and live a peaceful life. If that were possible.`I THOUGHT OF YOU AND WHERE YOU'D GONE

roleplay sample ||
Kuro moved his hands from his waist to across each other in front of his chest. His smile turned into a frown, this thing annoyed him. He thought it just looked like a pest, but the way it spoke was irritating also. He wanted to pop its head off, but for now he controlled himself. He was the type to play with his food before he devoured it.
It talked about coming through a mirror, this situation sounded familiar to Kuro's ears. But he couldn't really place his finger on why, maybe he had heard it before but didn't care much. So much happened in his day, as if he could remember it all. That wasn't his job.
The longer the thing talked, the more Kuro saw how pathetic and frail it was. It wouldn't last a second longer in this barbarous forest. So what was Kuro to do?
He sighed and let his arms fall down to his side. Kuro walked a few steps closer to it and looked down at it's pitiful face. It was some sort of abomination of a human and an animal. Kuro didn't really know what to think of it. With a scoff he opened up his arms in a gesture of explaining that he was talking about the area they were in, "This, is the haunted woods." Kuro folded his arms in front of his chest again. "It lies in the Kingdom Of Ice."
Kuro shook his head and chuckled to himself. He unfolded his arms and with a wide smirk plastered on his face he approached the thing closer and closer until his feet stood within a foot or so of it. Kuro crouched down and laid his arms on his standing knees under him. He leaned in closer towards the little beast and with a heinous grin and tone he whispered to it, "You're trespassing." As his bloodcurdling eyes bore into the thing before him, he still held the eerie smile on his face. It was a look used before ambushing one's prey, Kuro was eager to see her response from it. The look on her face would sure be delightful. The fright, the terror, the fear...it fed his hunger.
