---Edited February 6th 2013: Color Formatting and new Pass Phrase Word for the Character Templates : Tamesis
In order to apply for a Canon character from the list, you'll need to copy the code for this form and paste it into a new thread in Character Files. Fill out all the information as if you are the character. The parts below the line should be answered as yourself, the player.
The Template Rules are as follows:
A strange little white creature stands before you. It's a Moogle outside his shop; a rare sight. He stares up at you curiously before clearing his throat to get your attention.

U-uh, Excuse me, kupo? What's your name, kupo?
Character's full name/introduction of self.
Is that what everyone calls you, kupo?
If they go by a nickname or alias.
That's a great name for a girl, kupo! You... are a girl, aren't you, kupo?
Character's Gender (and any reaction you have to being called a girl...then being asked if that's right.)
O-of course! I was just... messing around, kupo! Ahem. Anyway, kupo. Uh. How old are you, kupo?
Character's age; if you don't know, you can guesstimate or come up with something cute to say.
Really? Everyone lately seems to be strange, kupo... so... no offense...but what species are you, kupo?
Is your character human, heartless, nobody, ect.
I knew that... It's just this light in here, kupo... my eyes can't focus... what do you look like, kupo?
A two paragraph description or a picture here with a couple words to describe would be great.
I-interesting...Which world is your home, kupo?
Mention your home world's name.
I see... That's an interesting looking weapon, kupo. What do you call it, kupo?
Weapon description and maybe a picture.
Cool! Do you know any attacks, kupo?
List your attack powers. You may start out with up to 8 attacks. You may pick the attacks and the cooldowns, but you should also describe the attack's range and basic information, because this will be where people look if they don't understand what you're describing.
Suggestions for Canons without Canon Attacks: Characters like Olette, Hayner, Sally, Cinderella and Belle will not have a canon attack list. In that case, you are allowed to be a little creative, but the attack list you create must be believable from a cannon perspective. For example, it's highly unlikely that Sally Finklestein knows any reflect or barrier spells; but it's possible she knows some basic black magic because of her home world. In these situations, I will not allow any higher than a mid-level attack on your roster. Sally, Cinderella, Belle, Aurora, etc are not commonly known as fighters, so it's unlikely they will start out with any serious attacks; but that's ok because we have LOTS of ways to improve them as time goes on. This is just the beginning; there's lots of possible growth to go.
That's not bad, kupo..! Can you tell me anything about your past, kupo?
Give your history; it needs to be a complete history with at least 3 paragraphs of information. Keep in mind some characters need a bit more than that to be complete and some characters will find it hard to get that much. Consider this a test of your knowledge and abilities with this character. I know some characters don't like talking about the past, but if they can't tell the Moogle, at least they can THINK about it, and we'll still be able to read it for completion. (That's my nice way of saying no slacking off.)
Hmm... well, could you tell me what kind of person you are, kupo?
Give a 2 paragraph personality overview; usually this isn't hard. A summary of their ideas, habits, thoughts and opinions. Just what makes a person a person.
...Oh, kupo... Then... what side do you fight for, kupo?[/color][/b]
Light, dark, self, no one, etc.
I don't mean to seem like I'm prying, but what dreams and aspirations do you have, kupo?
This one is easy enough. A paragraph on what your character dreams of. Might also be what makes them truly happy.
Ah, that makes sense, kupo... sorta... well, what do you like, kupo?
This one only has to be a few sentences long. Things that the character likes.
Me too! Then, what do you dislike, kupo?
This one only has to be a few sentences long. Things that the character dislikes.
I'll remember that... what's your weakness, kupo?
This one only has to be a few sentences long. What makes your character weak; what they can't bare.
N-not that I'd ever attempt to use that against you or anything, kupo...! Er... next question! W-what is your strength, kupo?
This one only has to be a few sentences long. What makes your character strong; builds them up and gives them hope.
I never would have guessed, kupo! So, tell me, kupo.. What's the secret password, kupo?
You'll get this password from reading the Rules, Inventory and Journal Tutorial, Battle Rules, and Character Rules.
Ah... well I am afraid I must go, kupo. One last question before I do, kupo. How did you find your way here, kupo?
Did you see and advertisement on another board, get invited by a friend or just happen on us through Google?

Ready? Now copy this code and fill out the file! Then you just have to submit it and get approved! A hint of advice; I would save the template below as a word document as you're working on it, and when you're finished, paste the whole thing into a new thread with your character's account; title the thread your character's name.
In order to apply for a Canon character from the list, you'll need to copy the code for this form and paste it into a new thread in Character Files. Fill out all the information as if you are the character. The parts below the line should be answered as yourself, the player.
The Template Rules are as follows:
1.) No Plagiarism. We have specifically set up the profile to check for copy-pasting of profile information from wikia and any other sources, so save us both the trouble and just do the profile yourself the first time. This also goes for pictures that are not watermarked by their source; if you must use a picture that is not owned by Square Enix or Disney, be sure to give credit and a link back to the source page. As this rule is clearly stated at the top of this post before one even sees the application code, I will not take kindly to plagiarism by any means. Trust that your next attempt, if you are caught plagiarizing the first time, will be examined in a much more critical light, and I will keep a close watch on your posts until I am satisfied that you are capable of writing in your own words. This marks your final warning.]
2.) Format of Responses. When you're completing this application, the whole form was made up to be basically an audition. Try to stay in character, but give us all the information we ask for. It's hard to do with some characters, but never impossible. Do your best! Third Person point of view and use a Voice Color around speech.
3.) A Paragraph. A paragraph here is five sentences, in understandable English, preferably with spell-check and correct grammar. If you want your character to pass the first time, then make sure you've met these requirements, or we'll ask you to correct it.
4.) Accepted or Pending. This means that you will be looked over by an admin until they approve you. Changes and alterations may need to be made before you can be accepted. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we try to make each experience between characters a fun event.
