✗ Applications are processed weekly, every weekend. The cut-off time for the submission of applications is 11:59PST on Saturday.
✗ Before applying, please read the FAQ and Rules pages.
✗ Please submit your application with the journal you plan to use if you have one made already. If not, another journal is fine, but we prefer your intended journal so it makes for an easier time in granting access to the mod journal and the contacts page.
✗ For very long applications, we would ask you to please separate them into various comments so that they will not take up too much of the page.
✗ Please title your application as { [CANON/CANON OC/OC]CHARACTER NAME || Series Title || reserve/no reserve || X of X } in the subect header
✗ IMPORTANT: Our application form was edited on September 07, 2015. Please use the revised form.
✗ If you are looking for an example of what an application should be like, please refer to the application here for an example of a canon character application, and here for an original character application.

Items with character at canon point: Tell us what your character has with them at the point you have pulled them from - this includes any animal companions.
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: This is only to be used if are already playing another character from the canon you are applying for. For example, if you are apping Mario and you already play Princess Peach in the game, how will you handle their interactions without playercesting? Depending on your answer, you may be refused the character you are apping for.
 
Personality: We are expecting at least THREE well-written paragraphs minimum, with references to canon examples of your character’s personality where available. Please provide us with insight to your character and their behaviour, their likes, dislikes and fears, as well as your understanding of them. We would also like to see details of your character's strengths and weaknesses, which may include physical, psychological and emotional.
 
Background: Here is where we would like to see information about your character's history and their place within their canon. This can be written if you wish, or you can link to any wikis and relevant resources.

World Information: Please go as in depth as you can about the world. There is no wiki or website for us to reference, and we need to know as much as we can about the place your character comes from so that we can understand the character when reviewing the application.

History: Your characters’ history in their world. Be sure to be detailed. This section should be a minimum of three paragraphs.

A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.

In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

First Person:

[The young-looking man stands at the station, holding a thick book under one of his arms. Golden eyes search for some evidence, a possibility to find out where he is at the moment until he spots one of the many posters.]

Ruby City? How strange, there doesn’t seem to be anything made out of rubies nor is anything ruby-colored. It seems that this is a matter that I should investigate a little further to come to a conclusion.

[As his free hand brushes over his pockets Theodore notices something inside of them, something that has not been there before. Reaching inside he takes out a watch out of it, immediately taking a closer look at it.]

I do not remember receiving an item such as this as a gift from anyone. But where did it come from then? It does not seem to be a simple watch…

[He was used to strange things, but this was even an odd case for him.]

Third Person:

This has been something he had decided for himself a long time ago and it seemed that the time had finally come. Theodore had prepared himself very well for this task and he was full of resolution to do this. For so long he had wondered about the human world, what it was like and how it looked like. And now his questions would be answered and his curiosity sated.

“Very well Master Minako, we shall go then? There is still a lot in your world that I would like to see very much.” The man dressed in blue held his hand out to her, his lips formed a charming smile. “May I have your hand, please?”

After all, the last thing Theodore wanted was to get separated from their valued guest during his stay at the other world. Not like he wouldn’t find his back to the Velvet room, what do you think. The reason why was because he had to look after her. She may be fulfilling a request of his, although were he to get lost then who would be supporting her during her journey?
