1. Create an account for each member using their first name! For example, Zevran Silverling's username will be zevran. The only exceptions to this rule are if you have an admin account (i.e. Angie is an admin account and her username is automatically set as admin and Cindie is another admin and her username is, in fact, cindie) and if the name is already taken. Note: There are very few exceptions to this rule. If the username is taken already, use the character's first name followed by their last initial. You may also use name suffixes instead of a last inital (i.e. senior, junior, iii, etc). For example, Jordon Matheson Jr. might have the username jordon, however, his father Jordon Matheson Sr. might have the username jordonsr. Some characters may use their nickname as long as the nickname is a form of their name and only if they're called by that the majority of the time. For example, Andrew Matheson's username is drew, however Mareike Larson goes by Rei to just about everyone, however her username is mareike). Please do not hesitate to ask an Admin for any questions you may have. When in doubt, just ask!
   
   
2. Using that character's account, post applications as a new thread on the "Character Application" board under the correct subboard. (For example, Townsfolk applications should go on the "Townsfolk Application" subboard.)
   
   
3. Paste the application on the BBCode tab!
   
   
4. Fill out the application while on the BBCode tab. Do not switch to the Preview tab or it will throw the coding off! We created the coding to make it as simple as possible on where you input your character's information.
   
   
5. Please fill out applications completely.
   
   
6. Do not alter the application template. When you copy the application code, make sure to paste the code in the BBCode reply box. You can do that by making sure to select the BBCode tab at the bottom of the posting box on the posting page before pasting the code into the box.
   
   
7. Applications should be filled out in 1st person format! You should use the terms I, me, and my throughout your application! For example:
   
   

   Full Personality:
   I am normally a very even-tempered witch. I do, however, have my own breaking points and I can get quite angry. I am not afraid to use my intelligence and strive to do great things with my life. I don't have any tolerance to stupidity either. I'm very ambitious and have been since I've been very young. If there is an award, I at least attempt to earn it. If there's a top score made by someone else, I attempt to top it. I love a challenge, especially if it's related to academics. I suppose that's what makes me a perfect Ravenclaw and the perfect witch to be Head of Ravenclaw.

   
   
8. After you post an unfinished application, you will have one week to finish it.
   
   
9. We require approval of your application, so once it is posted, please wait for it to be accepted before playing. Our board is now limited access, so you won't be able to make claims or start roleplaying until your character is approved.
   
   
10. Applications that have messed up coding will be denied! The admins will not fix coding issues for you. If we notice the coding is wrong, we will let you know and give you a chance to fix it, but if you can not fix it within an appropriate timeframe, the application will be denied.
