'''1. Please indicate which of the following dōjutsu you are applying for. A) Mangekyō Sharingan B) Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan C) Rinnegan'''

Rinnegan

2) How will your character awaken this dōjutsu? Do they meet all the canon requirements? How so?

My take on the Dojutsu will all the canon requirements and will incur some alterations in order to offer an unique experience for the Rinnegan. The character's name is Ishari (舎利, lit. Bones of a Cremated Enlightened Being).

The Rinnegan is symbolic of many things, of Rebirth, of the world, of the Desire Realms, in each aspect there lies mythology that attributes to the beauty of the Dojutsu itself. The traits I am following is the symbolism of not just the world - but the Desire Realm in it's entirety, the balance that is set in place in order to keep the Wheel of Life flowing properly. In the coming ages, the Human Realm, has earned become disorderly in it's cycle, disrupted by so many throughout the ages. A swelling of power, the chakras of the world while previously in check, balance and kept in play at all times, are no longer there.

The Rinnegan is the gateway to these realms, not just to tap deeper into it's own, but the other paths. In the Wheel, there is each a power, a power in the realms, and for the realm of man, there was the Shinju. The Shinju was an abberation, but it was manifesting the power of it's realm and the others, drawing upon the cycle of rebirth to embody it's strength. The cycle of the world grew out of balance, a magnitude of overwhelming power, the entire realm itself was given form through the chaos that came to be from the consumption of it's power, and thereby, the Rinnegan itself for millenia to come.

For the outside realms, this Dojutsu, the Sage's Eye, was a power capable of being possessed by any of the other paths. It was also capable of being manipulated by Desire Realm itself. The Wheel of Life slipped it's power through the realms, searching for an advocate, ethereal and wandering. It sought a vessel, a creature to house it's power in an attempt to balance out the human plane, not for the realm itself, not to bring power or order - but to restore it's proper place in the cycle of the Six Paths itself, to restore true balance.

Across the fields of battle, a tool was sought, a leftover of demise. It took bits and pieces of those it saw worthy, their residual spiritual energies fueled the Wheel of Life in it's amalgamation. The power swirled in the air, stirring the bare landscape, a hill with many slain, many fallen - the vessel had been found.

A host for the Rinnegan, for the power of the Six Paths - the tool of balance, a being meant to restore true order to the realms itself, and not just the plane it existed in. This man, peeling from his grave, could only draw sharp air as his very being fell into pain and anguish, reincarnated by the realms itself.

A man with little to no memory, of a forgotten time in which lay order and chaos, of the Warring Eras, a man with but one word stirring in his head, "Ishari".

'''3. Briefly detail what your plans are, at the moment, for your character if he/she is approved for the selected dōjutsu? What will they do with it? How will they improve or utilize it in a fashion that is unique to them, rather than a rehash of canon character usage or maybe even other fanon characters?'''

If my character is to retrieve the Rinnegan, his goal would be to bring about a true sense of spiritual order, much more akin to what the role of the Wheel of Life has. To destroy that which causes the human plane to rattle and extend past it's role, and to heal what is going to keep it in check. He is an instrument for the Desire Realm itself, and does not wield the Rinnegan under his control, but is in turn, a device for the eyes itself. An unique application of the Dojutsu, in which control is passed to the mythology and spirit of the power, and not the inverse becoming a weapon for the man.

My goal will be to create a series of plots that generate from Ishari to create fissures within the human world in order to prevent any spiritual growth, and ensure that the race of man is kept in strife, while also keeping those who wished to destroy it, torn apart.

The powers of the Rinnegan itself would be unique to the man himself, abilities and traits that are based upon the spirituality of each realm. A dead man baring the eyes of ultimate enlightenment would be a deadly weapon, meant to bruise the evil and oppose unity. Ishari would be used of the Rinnegan, a conduit. In turn, each path would be to his control, all except the power of the Asura realm itself, which would be extremely dampened due to the cause of this particular set of eyes and their vessel thereof; a failsafe to prevent the rise of power in the plane from it's own residual chakra.

To those around him, Ishari would be a normal man, but to the spiritual eye, his very being would be as if light passed through him, chakra unhindered by his form, escaping it, fading from it. An aberration in a foreign world.

For his soul and essence is a concept of the Six Paths, his body a husk formed by the imagination and power of the Rinnegan, the only thing that remains of the human plane is the dust of his flesh and bone, and the sins of his former life that earned him the path to spiritual rebirth.
