When writing any application, the amount of effort you put into your application is incredibly important. Some parts are even more important when applying for an RA/CC! So this post will show you what us here at Lorelei’s are specifically looking for, however this can work for a reference to any RA/CC or application that you could apply for at any shop!
Getting a regular adoption? Look HERE! RA SPECIFIC THINGS If you just want a CC, skip down just a lil bit. Species, personality traits, skill sets, etc that you CAN NOT work with due to triggers or another good reason For an RA, you are applying for ANY SPIRIT AT ALL out there in all of the astral. This section is to make sure that this spirit will not trigger you. For myself, Mod Fox, specifically, I would ask for no spider spirits as spiders will throw me into a panic attack. Or no vampires since their energy makes me physically ill. Another thing that would be acceptable would be “no sexual spirits”. Lots of other things are acceptable, but that is most common. Other things that would work would be “my spirit companion has X trigger”. Your families triggers and worries are just as valid as your own! Things that wouldn’t qualify would be things like “ Bird spirits because I already have 5 bird spirits and want something different ” Or “ please do not conjure a dark aligned spirit because i’m a lightworker. ” Getting an RA means that you have 0 preferences to who is conjuered. There are no guarantees. One more bird spirit won’t hurt you. Light and darkworkers can get along. Companionship is friendship first and foremost for most anyway. If it really matters to you, get a CC! Just as a side note, but most shops will NOT adopt out spirits who are abusive, or racist or something. They do not pass vetting, so while you may want to mention it just incase, it’s not something to be overly worried about! CC SPECIFIC THINGS To continue to the rest of the application, skip this part! Here we ask for your preferences for the spirit you are adoption. Species, personality traits, and skill set are asked. I don’t have much to say as we have yet to encounter any problems. It seems pretty straight forward. Just please note, if you ask for 18000 things, you may not get all of them. There’s so small that there’s a chance that spirit will have so many things that you want and then also be interested in companionship. APPLIES TO BOTH APPLICATIONS Please provide a second mode of communication other than tumblr in case we need to reach you PLEASE!! Do this. If something goes wrong and we cannot reach you, then things will only go more south. We reach out at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and every year to check and see how well adoption is going, and we need to be able to reach you if you deactivate your tumblr, change URLS, or anything else of the sort. Emails work best, but any other social media that does not change easily, like twitter. Please don’t use discord because you can be 1 click away from changing your numbers and the word in your name. Do not give us your phone number. Even though I consider us trustworthy, and YOU may trust us, we are still strangers over the internet. Unless you know a mod in person, just don’t. A description of your home life/lifestyle Here you should write about your day to day life. If you’re in school write about the classes that you take. Do you have a roommate? What are they like? If you live at home, write about your family, your pets. Write about what you do in your free time. What do you do when you’re bored, when you have free time. When you go out where do you go. Do you have a job? What’s work like? If you already have companions/do spirit work, how does that fit into your life? How does religion fit into your life? There should be 2-3 paragraphs here so that we can find the perfect companion for you! A description of yourself(personality more than appearance). This appears to be the hardest part of an application. What do you write about yourself? I always start with overviews. Your zodiac signs, your hogwarts house, etc. But say more than, “I’m a leo.” How do you relate to being a leo? For example, I may say something like, “I’m a gemini through and through; I’m a very social person who loves communication. However, I really shine through with my capricorn moon when it comes to my emotions.” Elaborate. Then build off of that. What are your hobbies? What do you like doing? When you hang out with friends what do you do? Don’t forget to write about negative aspects about you. Mention them in passing and how they may affect your life, but then continue on. It’s important information, but you are selling yourself even if this is not a regular adoption. If you only talk about how horrible you are, and such, why should this spirit choose you? It’s okay to say “I think negatively of myself and think I have no redeeming qualities, but sometimes I art okay.” There should be 3-5 paragraphs about you, depending on length. Do you know how to astral travel or project? Do you know how to ward? Do you have any wards set up? Level of Experience? Are you a minor? These questions aren’t so much for you to write lots about, it’s more to, again, find the best spirit to fit your needs. For warding, you do need wards in order to adopt from this shop. We have a few resources in our FAQ about warding if you need them! Information on current companions that you have/ones that you have had before. (Please make sure to ask them if they’re okay with another spirit being added to the family) First, do not apply at all if a spirit currently in your family is uncomfortable with adding to your family. Do not keep this from your current family. Just don’t. But when filling this section out, talk about more than “this is X, he’s a griffin.” You should write 1-2 paragraphs about them. If you can’t write that much about them, then maybe get to know them a little better before applying for another companion. Only include information they’re comfortable with, but if you’re at a loss for what to write, refer to the information you wrote down about yourself! If you have a large family, you need 1-2 paragraphs about every single member. Even if it turns a 2 page application into a 20 page application. The personality of your companions is just as important as you. Do you have an app at another shop? PLEASE Let us know this as well. Include regular adoptions, and ra/cc. It’s important. Not only is it against our rules to apply for an RA/CC if you have an application somewhere else (or with us), it’s also incredibly rude. If you do not tell us, and we find out, then we will have a talk that may not be entirely pleasant. If it’s not against the rules at other shops, it’s important for them to know. Letting them know won’t nullify your application. They will probably reach out to the shop about what to do, if you are chosen. They will talk things over to make sure things are best for the spirit and you. FINAL NOTES So that’s the app! But there are a few more things to know about getting an RA/CC that many people do not know. When adopting via regular adoption, people are drawn to spirits primarily due to callings. However, the point of a calling is to get your attention, to let you know that you two might be a good match, and to hopefully get you to apply. When you file for an RA/CC the spirit already has your attention. You already applied for them when you asked for an RA/CC. You may not experience a calling. Most of the time, you won’t. So if you don’t feel called to the spirit in the RA/CC don’t panic! At most shops you can turn down a spirit and ask for the conjurer to reconjure for you. Here are Lorelei’s your conjurer will conjure 3 times before sending you to another conjurer to see if they can help you out better. PLEASE do not be an ass and turn down multiple conjurings just because the spirit isn’t what you had in mind. If you bought a CC and something really important to you was left out, that’s ok, but then mention it to the conjurer so they know. If you bought an RA, the only reason you should be turning down a spirit is if there’s something about them that really wouldn’t fit into your lifestyle. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask us!! Best of luck!!
