Here is a guide to the application form you need to fill in. The form itself can be found below. Copy and paste the format into a new thread on the 'Character Applications' board, with your character's name (not nickname!) as the subject of the thread.
You must have your character accepted by a member of staff before you may roleplay with him/her. If your character is unacceptable, the member of staff will give clear reasons, so that you can edit your application to better suit the forum.
Please note that "one long paragraph" means a paragraph that is at least 8 lines in length.
NOTE: Your application will not be accepted if all information has not been included in your application, or if you have not used this template.

Distinguishing Features (if any): (Optional!) You should put reasons for any features such as scars. For example if your character has a scar on their cheek, you could give an explanation of something like they were involved in a swordfight a few years back and the scar to their cheek never fully healed.

OTHER
Powers: Your character may only have a total of two powers, though I will not allow a character to have two powers that would be considered very powerful on their own (for example, your character may not be able to control the elements of fire and earth. One or the other!) Please use the terminology found here. You may not have any powers that are not mentioned on that thread.
Any Other Information: Any other information that doesn't have a specific category elsewhere.
Sample Roleplay: This must be filled in before your character will be accepted. Fifteen full sentences at the minimum. Four or five paragraphs is ideal.
