Application Template.

Subject: Application Template. Sat Aug 13, 2011 12:24 pm

Here is the application, just to let you know on how to use it, and make sure it's done right. Please understand, we don't like it when the rules are followed! The explication is from Zuri of Lost Generations, it was made for Luz Dura Academy, but edited and changed a little to fit this site. ^_^'

• 1 •

First and foremost, when making your application, please copy the coding, and nothing else. Make sure you copy it all, too, or else something might not look right. If you’ve copied it correctly, it should show up in a preview without showing any “broken” tags, or in other words, coding tags such as [/center] that are not closed.

• 2 •

Now, on to how to fill out the application. You will notice areas that are typed in all capital letters—for example, at the top, CHARACTER PICTURE HERE. As you fill out your application, highlight these areas and type {or put a picture in IMG tags} where they are. Do not type before them or after them, but right where they are, so that everything will turn out the right size, font, and color throughout the application.

• 3 •

On that note, when you are filling the application out, you will notice that some areas are for different races, just delete them if they aren't the race you are going for.

• 4 •

Lastly, even if you are familiar with coding, please do not alternate the template with your own colors or ideas. It was created the way it was for a reason, so please just leave it be.

• 5 •

Alright! Almost done. When you post your application, go to the Pending Applications category and select New Topic. Type your character’s RACE in {brackets}, then LAST NAME followed by a comma and then their FIRST NAME as the topic title—for example: {RACE} Lavandière, Zuri. Do not put ridiculous titles such as Alex the Great. Just your character’s race then last name followed by their first name.

• 6 •

A simple, but usually necessary, instruction now. After you have titled the topic, paste the filled out coding for your application into the field area, and select Send. For those of you who have been on forums like this before, you should know what I’m talking about.

• 7 •

Once your application has been marked with an Accepted Sticker by an Administrator and they have given you your grade’s color, you can freely RP anywhere! Until then, though, please only post in the OOC areas.

Give a good two paragraphs of an appearance of your character. The definition of a good paragraph is 5-6 sentences, so do your best!

[For picture, please use a link.]

HISTORY

For this section, I think a good 5 paragraphs is a good length. History is important, especially for OC’s, we need to know as much about your character and how he/she got to the point they are now. Get in contact with me if you need some help with this because I know it can be difficult when making histories for characters you make up. For the canons, just write out what you remember from the anime.

WRITING SAMPLE

I want you to really work on this, we require at least 400 words so the rest of the members have something to respond to, and yes that means your writing sample needs to be the same length. You need to think of this as an advertisement to the other members. Potential partners will look at this when deciding on who to ask so you need to make it as in depth and interesting as possible. No one wants to be partners with someone who's boring.

OUT OF CHARACTER

Real Name: Real name or something you want us to call you by.
Age: Your real age.
Experience: How long have you been roleplaying?
Password: Find the password somewhere in the rules and you can place that here.
How’d you find us: If through an affiliate, which one?
