Hey! It's great that you want to go above and beyond the call of duty, which is to say you want your application to be great instead of winging it...Let's get started, eh?
Birth Certificate
FULL NAME: This would mean your character's First, Middle, and Surname. When picking a name for your character try not to use insanely odd names like Lunar Eclipse, for example. Yeah, that is a name I have seen on a site before. Why not use common or old names? Those are becoming extinct and seem really unique when they're really a classic. Also, do not pick a name that someone already has. You will be asked to change it if you do.
NICKNAMES: Nicknames are just as important as full names. Do not use one that someone else is already using, but don't be afraid to make it quirky and fun!
GENDER: Girls are usually played more than guys. We currently have a lack in the female area, surprisingly enough.
SPECIES: Don't forget about the 'Digging Deeper' board. That's where you can find a thread dealing with Species and which ones you can be as well as the Ratios. The ratios tell you how many Veela (for example) there can be per human. So if there is already a Veela here then you must wait until we have over 15 members.
SEXUALITY: This is really your choice and we don't have any lack of homosexuals or anything else. Sexuality is not a huge deal around the site so make your character whatever you want.
BLOOD STATUS:
AGE: 15-17 year olds are overly common. Why not play a First year? Or maybe a professor/adult?
BIRTHDATE: Again, not an issue.
NATIONALITY/HERITAGE: Commonly your character will be from the area, though we will allow some foreigners. Not too many, though.
HOMETOWN: Wherever you like...
YEAR/OCCUPATION: As you can see you are not allowed to pick your house if you are a student. We like to keep things fair and even so we will be picking your house based on your personality. You may pick your year of course, and your job if you are an adult. Maybe you would like to open your own shop? Sure! Just say shop owner with some details and we'll work it out with you.
WAND: Wands can be difficult for some people. You can go take a quiz to find out what wand you'd like, but remember no two wands are the exact same and we'll be checking to be sure of that. There are also some sites that talk about what wood fits what birth month and what not. Why not try those out and make something unique?
Appearance
HAIR COLOR: Want to go above and beyond? What sort of brown? Any highlights? Does it change in the summer or something? Have fun with it.
HAIR STYLE: How does your character usually wear their hair? Do they do this every single day?
EYE COLOR: Eye colors don't have to be completely off the wall. A nice warm, chocolate brown is nice. Keep those sort of words in mind while describing them.
BODY BUILD: Height, weight, muscles, skinny, over weight, skin color...just throw it all together and give us the basic idea of your character.
PIERCINGS: You don't have to...and many characters seem to now a days.
TATTOOS: Same as above...
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: Scars, freckles and what not. Have fun with it!
PLAY BY: Check the face claim first. PBs may only be 5-7 years in either direction. For example if I want a PB for a fifteen year old student then my PB may only be 22 max and 10 min. Got it? And NO anime or video game characters!! I cannot stress that enough.
Personality
LIKES: I'd love to see five here, at least. And it'd be wonderful if you said why...And the more the merrier!
DISLIKES: Just look above...
STRENGTHS: Three minimum and you MUST tell me why this is. More is great, but not required.
WEAKNESSES: Up there!
BOGGART: You should know what this is. Your biggest fear! What really freaks your character out. It's common to see one's family dead, especially considering the Era and what is currently happening. But you don't have to! You can be completely unique...just like everyone else.
DEMENTOR: Your worst memory. Work it out.
AMORTENTIA: This is what love smells like to your character, pretty much. It is actually a love potion, but it adjusts itself to the person it is targeting. Three smells min, more is great.
SECRETS: Things that nobody knows...
SIGNIFICANT MEMORIES: Happy, sad, in between. Milestones.
QUIRKS AND HABITS: Chewing nails...you get the drift.
HOBBIES AND PASTIMES: Reading is SO common here!! Let's be fun! Why not chess? Or Gobstones?! Come on!!
PERSONALITY ESSAY: Two paragraphs, pretty please. Give us a general overview of how your character reacts in situations.
