The forms below are the basic forms used when applying for an unusual character. All applications are to be posted in this forum, unless the application is intended to be private. If applying privately, post a placeholder thread in this forum, then PM the application via the forum to all members of the Admin and SDM teams. Private applications will not be reviewed unless a public placeholder thread is posted. These characters are not to be played until after they are approved (and LETO done, if necessary).
Each area of the application is required
Incomplete applications (including applications that do not meet the background word limit) will not be reviewed for approval.
Of particular interest to the staff is the section "How does this race affect the character's roleplay." In short, why would this particular race make your character different than a normal base race? How does the exotic race affect their mentality, attitudes towards other races, personal fears and strengths, and so forth?
Exotic applications take between 2-4 weeks to be reviewed by the staff. After a character is approved, a minimum 1 month period is required before applying for any additional unique characters.
All private placeholder applications must be sent to all SDMs and Admins.
As a further note, please refrain from 'bumping' applications or their placeholders, as this can lead to us losing track of when the application was originally posted. Please ask a member of the senior staff for an update instead.
