about applying
If you'd like to apply for a character, you're in the right place! As of June 24, applications are now always open. Fill out one of the two forms on this page depending on the type of character you're applying for and post it in the comments of this entry. While you fill out your application, here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Please read over the rules and FAQ before you begin to fill out your application—This will save you headaches later!
  
• Check the taken and reserved pages to make sure that your character isn't listed on either (unless you reserved them, naturally).
  
• Please check your application for spelling and grammatical errors. While we're hardly going to reject for a misspelled word or two, a large amount of errors makes us much more likely to reject an application.
  
• Plagiarism is unacceptable. If we find an application has been plagiarized, it will result in immediate rejection and a ban from the game.
  
• You may app ONE character per round, for a total of THREE characters in the game. You may have two characters from the same canon provided they have little or no interaction in canon.
  
• If you're already in the game, all of your current characters must have passed the last AC to apply for a new character. If this is your first character, don't worry about this, of course!
  
• When posting your application, please format the subject line of your first comment in some form of Character Name - Series - Reserved/Unreserved in that order. Do not link to your application.
  
• Original characters are allowed, but their applications are judged to a much higher standard than canon characters. We want to make sure that the character and their world are thought-out and developed. This isn't meant to discourage such characters in the slightest, so all this really means is take care to explain the world your character comes from especially, since all we have to judge them by is what you tell us!
  
• If we ask for a revision, don't worry! Usually we just need clarification on something before we decide on your application. If you are asked for one, you have five days to supply the requested revision.

SAMPLES

FIRST PERSON SAMPLE: Here!
THIRD PERSON SAMPLE Marta sneaked a peek beyond the curtain hesitantly, trying to estimate exactly how many people were in the audience tonight. She wasn't usually one to be nervous or shy, but this was an actual performance. The last time she danced publicly she was doing a ritual to summon and lure a specific monster. If she had been then were a bit more justifiable, considering she was basically getting ready for a potential fight, but she was confident that Emil and the others would take care of things before it got too dangerous; she felt safe. Here? She was pretty much on her own. Taking a deep breath, she steadied herself as she prepared to step out onto the stage and into the spotlight.

It wasn't too bad, all things considered. Dancing wasn't hard, and honestly, she actually kind of liked it. Even if the class wasn't as offensively physical as others, it felt natural to her, like all those leaps and spins she usually did were already a kind of dancing. She only wished she could show Emil; for all her practicing, she was sure she could show Emil an amazing dance!

Actually performing, on the other hand. The guildmaster was an eccentric person from the one time she met him, and the outfits for tonight's performance said as much. Marta was no stranger when it came to clothes, but did this really need to show so much skin? On top of that, she was going to be under the scrutiny of a bunch of strangers. She could almost groan at the thought—well the reality, if the sudden applause was any cue. It was just about her time to step out of the curtains.

But a mission was a mission, and if Marta was going to go home, she was going to get home as fast as possible. The only way to do that was to get as good as she was going to get, and a mission like this was perfect to practice her new skills. Slapping her cheeks, Marta put on a confident, determined smile, and stepped out into the spotlight.
