Don't worry, it isn't as bad as it sounds.
So you want to have a character here? Good! Fine and dandy!
I didn't initially want apps here on the board, but because it's probably easier. But there are some restrictions:
1) No Mary-Sues/Gary Stus. I know not everyone can tell that they're characters are or not, but if you waltz in here with your sparklespeshul kitsune ninja who can kill everything and can turn everyone on with her glance, Coraline is more likely to incinerate her on the spot.
2) You don't HAVE to play a supernatural creature. While most members of the board are playing supernatural characters, there are a few humans here. Remember, this is a predominantly human city. There is a human mayor, and human police, and human citizens.
3) While there may be some dislike for creatures or humans, hate crimes probably won't happen. Not without insane consequences. Remember, this is Coraline's city. She doesn't tolerate supernatural beings starting shit, she isn't going to tolerate a hate crime against humans or otherworlders.
4) No long-lost Concordians. Since they're a rare race, and since Nemo is sure that she is the only one left, no Concordian beings will be allowed (save for an NPC for a plot). Cuts down on the sparklesue temptation.
5) Play nice, really. This should be self explanitory. Godmodding of any character will not be tolerated. Even godmodding past history. If you want a character to have known Coraline or another character in the past, clear it with the player first.
6) Please don't take on more than you can handle. We will hold activity checks once a month. If you have 20 characters and you obviously only play one or two, things will not be good for you.
7) Have standards. Scrapper and I have done a LOT of writing. We will hold you to some character standards and writing standards. If your app is pointless fluff with no substance, we will tell you, and most likely it will be blunt. We are willing to help you improve, but if you flip your shit at us for telling you that your app isn't good enough, we won't be happy and we won't be willing to do you any favors.
8) Theft will not be tolerated. If you take someone else's character app, even from an external site, you will be banned.
9) The only characters exempt from needing apps are those who were here before the forum was rebuilt. Anyone here before August 2011 is safe, but any new characters they make will need apps.
That being said, feel free to app away.
