first and foremost , we wanted to take a moment to thank each and every single applicant that took the time to apply to st. ambrose. this was not , by any means , an easy decision. each and every application that we read today was so spectacularly written, nuanced, and in-depth... the fact that we could not select every single one of you was a crime in itself. with that said, we wanted to ensure that if you were not accepted during this round of acceptances, rest assured : this is not at all by any means a reflection of you and your writing skills. every application we received today was above and beyond. thank you so much for making our group thrive . if you were not accepted , you are free to reach out to us for feedback but please be patient with us as we work to get everything squared away.
in addition , it is very late for both the admins so before we dive right in to our taken roles , a housekeeping note : our invitation links will be sent out tomorrow ( thursday , may 5th ) morning + our pages will be properly updated throughout the day , as well. please bare with us as we slowly work to ensure all pages are updated with the new information.
now , without further ado : please find our accepted characters below !
─ ˙ ˖ CONGRATULATIONS ALEX ! › shin jowoon has been accepted as the devil with the face-claim yeo hwanwoong .
alex ... there are no words for us to properly describe how jowoon’s backstory gave us chills. there is something so twisted and macabre about the way death permeates the very essence of jowoon. suave and unique , you really captured the elements of gothic horror in the scottish woods to such a great degree . it was such a unique take to the devil and we’re so excited to see how he fits in the circle !
─ ˙ ˖ CONGRATULATIONS NEKO ! › xiomora fonesca has been accepted as the hierophant with the face-claim lizeth selene .
a she/they hacker from florida ? we were , unsurprisingly , sold. the spin of making xi a hacker who was outed as a criminal and then seized by the government to do its bidding is such a unique and interesting take that we couldn’t resist. not only that, the characterization & life that you brought to xi throguh your headcanons really brought depth and nuance to them. we are excited to see where they move in the rp !
─ ˙ ˖ CONGRATULATIONS SYLVIA ! › yunseo byun has been accepted as the hanged man with the face-claim choi yenojun .
sylvia , we loved your characterization & your take on the hanged man & their struggle with being influenced by outside forces , but still insisting to march ( dance ! ) to the beat of their own drum. i fell in love with yunseo with every new fact about him , & we can’t wait to see how he finds his own footing in their new world !
─ ˙ ˖ CONGRATULATIONS MOON ! › rhea seong has been accepted as the chariot with the face-claim go min si .
moon , your writing style and the way that you showed us the stark contrast between the tumultuous emotions within rhea and the way she carries herself in the public eye was such a wonderful way to underscore the battlecry that sets the chariot apart. not only that , the section of your application where you outlined rhea’s opinion on the remaining circle members was probably my favorite bit to read. thank you for sharing & we’re excited to see rhea interact with the others !
─ ˙ ˖ CONGRATULATIONS YAZZY ! › ariadne hamdan has been accepted as the magician with the face-claim mina el hammani .
yazzy , your storytelling technique is truly something to admire. the way you explored aria’s family life , their tragic passing , and how she wished it was her brought so much depth and nuance to her. you found ways to make her influential and powerful while also seeking truths and answers -- and we cannot wait to see how this brings aria closer ... or farther ... from where her family’s demise stems from.
─ ˙ ˖ CONGRATULATIONS VANNY ! › saul ventura has been accepted as the star with the face-claim michael cimino .
as someone who lives in nyc ... the homage you brought to a puerto rican from the bronx is something that is so special to me ... not only that , your take on the star is something we absolutely adored. you had us from the first line of your application ... the underdog is always the unsung hero , an homage to how the star may not be everything they seem to be. the metaphors you used to describe the way saul wears this figurative mask was so wonderfully done. we are so excited to see him blossom !
─ ˙ ˖ CONGRATULATIONS SHAY ! › kang kitae has been accepted as the sun with the face-claim kim hongjoong .
the way we both instantly fell in love with kit ... his confidence is very characteristic of what we wanted to see out of the sun , but more than that , you brought nuance to his character by showing us exactly where he has contrasts to the burning bright heat of the sun. the subtle conflict between kit and his father’s expectations , the looming presence of his familial legacy ... it all ties together to give us a better picture of what you envisioned for the sun and we are thrilled to have you !
─ ˙ ˖ CONGRATULATIONS ALIX ! › maxine varma has been accepted as the empress with the face-claim la’tecia thomas .
we were both blown away by the level of depth and nuance you brought to your app for maxine. the way you grasped her character voice and showed us all the fractured & splintered sides of her while also proving to us time and time again where she excels gives us exactly what we wanted out of the empress. the fact that she puts others above herself to allow herself to feel more whole , more helpful to others brings her to life. we’re so excited to have her here !
─ ˙ ˖ CONGRATULATIONS VEN ! › opal de la fuente has been accepted as the moon with the face-claim aj clementine .
we fell in love with opal through the strong , unwavering voice you brought to her app... not only that , the way we could personally identify pieces of ourselves within her story made her feel that much more real to us. she is so incredibly well written and we truly got to see why she felt so far away , stranded out at sea with the tides crashing on the sands , because of the way her younger sister seemed to be the ethereal glow of her family life. we are so excited to see her here !
─ ˙ ˖ CONGRATULATIONS SAI ! › marjane tanaka has been accepted as the hermit with the face-claim yumi nu .
sai , we loved the way that you spoke on marjane’s relationship with her mother and used that tethering bond to tie her back into the 13th circle. her naivety and her dedication made her interesting but more than that , we are fascinated by the way the 13th circle is most drawn to marjane due to the fact that she has so much potential for them to mold and manifest something far greater than anyone realizes. we are excited to see how she is sculpted within their ranks !
