RULES:
    1) You must have a reservation in order to apply for your character. Failure to do so will result in an instant rejection.
    2) We accept applications for the following character types:
    • Canon characters
    • Original characters
    • Silent protagonists (such as the Persona protagonists)
    • Variant protagonists (such as Dragon Age & Mass Effect protagonists)
    • Canon AUs (so long as they have a "canon" source i.e. MCU vs Earth-616)

    4)You may apply for (1) character per app round for a total of (2) overall.
    5) All revisions must be submitted within (48) hours or your application will be automatically rejected.

RE-APPS:
    If you drop a character without killing them and wish to pick them back up, you can reapply for them at any time! However, if you want to app them with their in-game memories you must meet the following conditions:
    • They must have been in-game for at least 3 months prior to being dropped
    • A character can only be re-apped in the same "game chapter" in which they were dropped
    • You cannot have taken more than (1) AC exemption during this time period
    • You cannot have idled out of the game
    What this means is if you drop a character during Chapter 1 of the game (the first planet), you can only re-apply for your character during that chapter. Once the game hits Chapter 2 you can no longer apply for any characters you may have dropped during Chapter 1. Characters "re-apped" after the chapter in which they were dropped will have no previous memories of being in-game.

THE APP:
    [OOC]

    Your Name: Your handle, or what you'd prefer to go by.
    Contact: Please provide at least (1) direct means of communication through which the Mods can reach you if needed.
    Are you at least 16 years of age or older?: Yes/No
    Current Characters(s): Do you currently play any characters in The Atlas? If no, simply put "N/A" in this section.
    Reserve Link: Please link us to your comment on the Reserves page.

    [IC]

    Is this a re-app?: Yes/No.
    Drop Period: If you answered yes to the above, when did you drop this character? Please use the format Month/Date/Year. Otherwise, delete this section.
    In-Game Memories: Do you intend to keep memories from their last stay in The Atlas? Delete this section if you are not re-applying for a character.
    AC Link: Please link AC proofs from at least 3 months. Delete this section if you are not re-applying for a character.
    Character Name: Please use western-style format: First Name, Last Name.
    Journal: [personal profile] username
    Canon: If your character is an OC, please put "Original" in this section.
    Canon Point: At what point of your character's history are they coming from?
    Species: Is your character a human? AI? Vogon? Let us know.
    Age: Your character must be at least 14 years of age either physically or mentally to be applicable.

    Appearance: This is for OCs only. If you are apping a canon/AU character please delete this section. Please provide a quick link or physical description of what your character looks like for our reference. DO NOT POST IMAGES IN YOUR APPLICATION.

    World Info: This is for OCs only. If you are apping a canon/AU character please delete this section. Please provide a detailed description of the world your character comes from, including it's history and how they fit into it. This section should leave us with a good understanding of how it has influenced and informed Who They Are, and the sort of effect it has had on them.

    History: If your character has a wiki page or write-up you may link it in this section. Otherwise please give us an outline of the major events in their life which have helped make them into who they are today.

    Personality: This is by far the most important section of the application. It holds the most weight in our decision so please be as thorough and concise about your character as possible. Tell us their motivations, their strengths and weaknesses. What events over the course of their history have made them the way they are and why? Keep headcanon to an absolute minimum; too much and we will ask for revisions. Any app for a canon character that needs to rely on headcanon or conjecture in order to provide adequate insight into a character's motivations or personality will not be accepted.

    Powers & Abilities: Please provide a full and detailed description of what your character is capable of! This includes any supernatural powers they may have, as well as physical skill sets, fighting abilities, or things like high-level intellect. Give us a good idea of what your character is capable of, and remember: if it's not on their app, they can't use it in-game.

    Misc: Anything that doesn't fit into the current sections you want to make note of? Put it here!

    Sample: Please provide us with either a written sample of 300-500 words or a link to at least (2) threads, wherein each thread has a minimum of (10) comments from your character from within the last 3 months. We do not accept network samples. These can be either prose or actionspam, and can take place in any medium so long as it matches the canon/AU universe from which they are being apped. i.e. Don't link us to a movie-verse version of Wolverine if you are apping him from the comics.

    Please do not send us raw HTML. Copy + paste a formatted version of your application into an email.
