APPLICATIONS。
Applications are currently open!

INFORMATION。 • Please post your application to this page, either in comments or in a link. All applications are screened. • Please check the reservation list to see if your character has been reserved before applying. • For applications that receive a Revisions Request, you will be given 72 hours to provide us with the necessary revisions. If not, you will have to wait one week before applying for that particular character again. • Decline notices will always come with a reason. A player can receive a decline notice three times before their application will no longer be accepted for that character. • Remember: quality over quantity! We're not looking for an essay, we're looking for accuracy and proof that you have thought about and know your character. • We accept applications for canon characters, AU characters, and original characters. For the most part these are all fundamentally the same, but there are a few minor changes/additions for AU and OC applications. Please take a look over the following information in order to get a better idea of what it is we're looking for!
