[b]Appearance:[/b] (At least 250 words. Do not just tell us what your character’s features look like since everyone can glance at a photo, tell us how they carry themselves, if their face is expressive and what expressions can normally be seen upon their visage, but also what their dressing style is. If you’re playing a character with physical mutation, be sure to explain that as well.)

Keep in mind that we reserve the right to ask for elaborations anyway.)
[b]Weaknesses:[/b] (Mutation limitation, physical weaknesses such as being mortal – since there are mutants who possess immortality, invincibility, impenetrable skin, immunity to toxins, etc… You get the picture. Personality weaknesses are NOT to be noted here.)

Make your character three dimensional, and do remember we will ask for fleshing out if we feel you haven’t captured the canon’s personality well enough.)

[b]History:[/b] (At least 400 words. Remember, the older your character is, more history they should have too. We especially want to see nice, DETAILED histories for big canons, so keep in mind that 400 should just be a starting point for them.)
[align=center][img]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a386/spacedoutcow/DRapp6.png[/img][/align] (At least 400 words of writing sample; don't give us the longest post you've ever written if you don't regularly post that much on average. Must be for the canon you’re applying for, and the quality can either make or break the application. Show us how well of a grasp you have of the said canon through a mix of introspection, action and interaction. Pay attention to grammar, and don't use quote tags.)
