Character Application Rules and Guidelines

[Sesshomaru]

General Rules

• Your application, if still pending, will never be deleted. Therefore if you leave and come back months later, your WIP (or unapproved) application will still be here.
  
• Only the applicant (the one applying) and staff members are allowed to post in character applications. You should take all of our feedback and do as said to get your profile approved in the quickest fashion. Arguing will only postpone your approval.
  
• You must use the character template. Edits to the format are not acceptable.
  
• You cannot have more than one major character and one minor character.
  
• If you need to edit your already-approved profile, PM a staff member for permission and give him/her the details.
  
• If you have multiple characters, you need to create a new account per character (therefore if you have three characters, you have three accounts; one for each character)

Creating a Custom Character

• Your character cannot have an effect on a canon character’s profile (I.e. you can’t be related or have changed anything about him/her).
  
• You need to specify which company you belong to. For example, if you belong to Koga's Tribe, or the Demon Slayer Village, and so on.
  
• You must credit your image (if you have one for your appearance) if it was not drawn by you.
  
• You may use the image of a character from any anime or manga, but make sure no one else has used it first.
  
• You may have a total of three custom characters

Creating a Canon Character[/color]

• If you have not reserved the character you are applying for, your application is a WIP (or is finished and you haven’t fixed what was told to be fixed within five days), then if someone else applies for the character with his/her profile finished first, the risk of you not getting said character is apparent. We suggest utilizing the forum’s reservation option.
  
• You cannot start out with custom abilities and attacks.
  
• Your history must be accurate — you cannot make up part of their history. If little is revealed about your character, the required amount of paragraphs won’t apply to you.
  
• You may have a total of two canon characters (one major, one minor)

Application Guidelines [suggested read]

• Basic Information — Fill out everything as best you can. If something is unknown, simply state so.
  
• Appearance — Include (estimations are fine) weight and height. Describe physical traits such as eye color, skin color, hair color, length, and shape, posture, clothing color, size, shape, and accessory description, notable facial features (scars, tattoos, etc.), and anything else apparent.
  
• Personality — Include things such as usual emotions, behaviors, thoughts, how they cope with certain situations, possible scenarios that could change their mood drastically, their views, opinions, and attitude toward things.
  
• Background — Include key events, people, and places from their life and/or anything else significant in their lifetime that should be noted.
  
• Attacks and Abilities — Describe any abilities (that are not used with weapons) they have. Include weakness, strengths, required/standard phrases, attack appearance, and effects.
  
• Weapons — Include its appearance (sheath, blade, hilt, hand guard, bow color, any extra additives, etc.), Include any release phrases or transformations involced.
  
• Role Play Sample — Include a sample writing piece centered around the character you are applying for. Please use 3rd person (no ‘I’ or ‘you’ outside of quotations) and write in past tense (“she killed” rather than “she kills”).
  
• Grammar and Spelling — Please proofread and/or paste it into a Word Processor that has a Spell Check and Grammar Check. Please make sure your application is clean of any spelling, punctuation, capitalization, pronoun, etc. errors.
