Application Notes
Alright so there's a few things that you should know before you start writing your application. Please read this from beginning to end (it's not long) to make sure that you understand!

Important Pages[/u][/size][/color]
Welcome to the board! I know (and hope) that you are excited to get to your application and begin writing it so that you can have the huge amount of fun that other members are having. However, there are a couple of things we have to go through first before you do that. The first step once you have joined is to read that RULES.
You should have read these very carefully when you found the password so I know you've at least gone there, however have you taken a look at the FAQ'S? I know that you haven't so don't lie! These are VERY VERY VERY important to read as they have a lot of information that will help you write your application. For example:
- Do you know which animal you should pick for your character?
- Do you know if teachers actually teach on the board?
- Do you know what major your character should be in?
If you answered "no" to any of these, get right over to the FAQ's! I know that it's a hassle, but you should be able to put aside 3 minutes to read them so that your application can be accepted on the first try rather than having to edit and edit because your doing something wrong.
Your Application[/u][/size][/color]
I know that it seems really long and tedious, but trust me its for the better. Having a really good application helps other members gain information about your character. All of it is in one spot too! How conveinient!
If you need an example of how an application should be made, check out this application or this application as a couple good examples of how it should be done. Please take a look as this is what yours should, more or less, look like.
Please TITLE YOUR APPLICATION WITH YOUR CHARACTER'S NAME and not with something stupid like "OMG I'M WRITING AN APPLICATION!" No, please. Also, if you want to come back and finish it later, put WIP in your title so that we know it's a work in progress
Most applications will be told to fix something here and there so don't get discouraged if this happens to you! We are here to make it the best it can be and then you never have to write it again.
Also quickly note that your applications may be tweaked by an admin (as far as the format goes) if it isn't perfect. No words will be changed, just enter spaces or bullet points or stuff like that (we have some OCD admins...)
The last important thing to note is that you have one week to do your application from the time you post it, before it gets moved into the Denied application board
Have fun and happy RPing!
