The Application Standards
First, refer to the "Creating A Character" thread to see exactly what we expect when making a character.
What NOT To Do
- Do not submit the application UN-FINISHED. It will be deleted immediately. All fields must be filled out completely and to the exact specifications we give. Do not post less than what is expected.
- Do not add color to the script. I change this layout a lot and I do not want old applications clashing with the skin. It will be deleted immediately if this rule is not followed.
- Do not edit the alignment. I put a specific alignment on there for a reason. That is how I want to view them. If I am going to take time out of my life to read your application, I want it to be how I formatted it.
- DO NOT EDIT THE FORM. A lot of people have been combining "Facial Properties" and "Physique" together to make "Appearance". DO NOT DO IT. If you want to start off on my bad side, then be my guest and edit the form. You should be a skilled enough writer that you can do each separately.
- DO NOT ask me if you can be sorted in a specific house. It is judged upon your character's Personality and History. If you bug me enough, I may just put you in the complete opposite house that you want. So, DO NOT ASK. Do not even mention a specific house that your character wants in or a house that it hates for it will only anger me. I decide what house you get- not you.
- Do not use pictures in your application at all.
How to Fill out the Application
- This is what we expect in an application.
