This is the application for an Original Character. For the Featured Character application, please see the FC application board.
To apply, start up a new thread with your character's name in the format of "REAL NAME - ALIAS [WIP]". For example: Pamela Isley - Poison Ivy [WIP]
Note: If you want to be sure of being approved quickly, I suggest browsing the already accepted characters to see what we expect from an application.
That's it for now. This application is subject to change if the staff feels that it needs something else.
When you're through, remove the WIP tag and PM staff to let them know you're ready. We will deliberate over acceptance/rejection, and contact you within 24 hours.
You must play at least one canon character at all times, and you must have special approval from the head admin to play more than 2 canons or more than 3 characters total.
For the sake of organization and to help reduce confusion among players, please create a separate account for each character that you create. When you do create accounts, please have the display name fit the 'REAL NAME - ALIAS' theme unless the real name of your character is unknown. Then, just use your alias.
