Part I: Player Information
This is information that focuses on your characters abilities as a video game character. It can be hard to understand at first but if you read through this section your questions should be cleared up. If you continue to be confused asked for help on in the FAQ section.

Level
Characters start at level 1 and can reach a max of level 50. To get to the next level you must complete one quest per level and have 5 In Character posts per level. Therefore:
Level 2 requires a total of 5 posts
Level 3 requires a total of 10 posts
Level 4 requires a total of 15 posts
And so on until one reaches level 25.

Class & Job
Each character has a class which determines how they perform on the battlefield. Classes come in two varieties; fighters and spellcasters.
The fighter classes are Knight, Gunslinger and Adventure.
The spellcaster classes are Wizard, Summoner and Priest.
At level 20 characters gain a job which is treated as a secondary class. Characters can choose to be either a Blacksmith or an Alchemist.
Each class and job has a description and specific abilities that they can learn.

Knights have are capable of taking heavy hits and distracting enemies from the softer members of the party. They have no healing abilities but can cause a decent amount of damage. Special abilities give them attacks that cause splash damage and increase their aggro.
Gunslingers have poor defense but high attack power. They have a few healing abilities that let them recover themselves between encounters. Special abilities mainly focus on giving Gunslingers extra powerful attacks.
Adventurers have poor defense and average attack power, however they're the fastest hitting and fastest moving characters in the game. They have small healing abilities that let them quickly patch up themselves (and teammates at higher levels) which can make all the difference in the heat of battle. Special abilities increase their own stats and give them status inflicting attacks.

Wizards have medium defense and medium attack. They have small healing abilities to use on themselves. However the strong point of wizards is their vast ability list that allows them to cast many different spells that can damage and debuff enemies.
Summoners have low defense and attack, instead relying on summoned creatures to do their bidding. Summoners learn to summon a new demon every 10 levels up to level 50. Each creature shares stats and weaker versions of abilities of a player class (listed below). Summoners can only give small heals to their creatures. Special abilities let them trade HP/Magic with their creatures, learn a a handful of powerful spells and buff their creatures.
Golem (level 1) shares traits of the knight class
Angel (level 5) shares traits of the priest class
Imp (level 10) shares traits of the gunslinger class
Shade (level 15) shares traits of the adventurer class
Fairie (level 20) shares traits of the wizard class
Priests have low defense and low attack, instead being the only class to be able to give huge heals during and between battles. Special abilities let them revive characters, buff themselves and allies, and cast holy spells to damage enemies.

Blacksmiths can use materials they pick up to create and reinforce armor and weapons, build machines and even create knick-knacks for guild bases. Characters gain special abilities to find and extract materials from the environment, salvage parts and destroy armor and weapons for materials, and gain bonuses for the armor they wear.
Alchemists can use materials they pick up to create elixirs and enchant weapons, armor, machines and knick-knacks. Characters gain special abilities to find and extract materials from the environment, disenchant things to recover materials, read runes, and gain permanent bonuses to stats.

Alliance and Why you Chose
Alliances are an essential part of game play. Depending on your alliance you can access certain cities, quests, materials and dungeons. You cannot kill characters that share your alliance, but gain PvP points for killing other players on the opposite alliance. Because of this, characters on the same alliance might tempted to team up because they will not need to separate to complete different quest lines and explore different areas.
Order
Those who ally with the forces of Order are attempting to restore the old worlds. Though members of Order appreciate and care for their new friends they are all in agreement- this world was never meant to be. They are in constant combat with the forces of Chaos.
Chaos
Those who ally with the forces of Chaos protect the corrupt land of Fantasia. Members have many reasons for joining, some of the most common reasons being hatred of their old homes or love for this new world. These people are constantly engaging in combat with the forces of Order.
Note that an alliance with Order does not make your character good and an alliance with Chaos does not make your character evil. Your alliance simply determines what your character's stance on the fantasia world is.

PvP Kills/PvE Kills
These kill counters are to help you keep track of how many enemies you have defeated. PvP stands for player versus player and you can add one to your count every time you defeat another RPer in a battle. PvE stands for player versus environment and you can add one to your count every time you kill a creature.
At the moment these are just for show but later there might be rewards given for milestones.

Quests Complete/IC Post Count
These counters are to keep track of how many quests your character has completed and how many In Character posts you've made. As these numbers rise, you'll be able to level your character so make sure you update these at the end of everyday!

Ability List/Spell List
You get one special ability that you can make up on your own at level 1. You must put a description and it cannot be an overpowered ability though it can cover a weakness your class might have. IE:A priest with an decent attack ability.
As you play you may add one ability to your ability list at levels 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 13, 15, 17, 20, and 23. At level 10, you add two abilities from your job list and then proceed to add one more ability at levels 13, 15, 17 and 20. The total amount of abilities is 16 abilities.

Part II: Character Information
This is information about your character as a person and a nation. Many parts of this section of the app are to check out how you play the given character.

Nation Represented
Important field for both canon and original characters. Not everyone is familiar with every canon character and I obviously need to know what nation/state/province you're playing if you are an OC.

Age & Race
Both are for aesthetic purposes. I want to know what age your character looks like, what age they are, and if they're like an elf or dwarf or dragon or something. They don't get any benefits for it except the fact they're more unique.

Gender & Sexual Preference
I'd prefer no genderbends. Also I don't want every character listed as bisexual. If you're going to make them gay or bisexual, give me a little reason of sorts. Cause I find the amount of gays in role plays to be disproportionate to the amount of gays in reality.

Physical Description
Encouraged for, but not necessary to be admissible for canon character applications, original characters MUST have a physical description. Some things you might want to include are hair, eye and skin color, any scars they might have on their body, their height and weight, and even the type of clothes they tend to wear.

Personality
Write a brief summery of your characters personality. Likes, fears, strengths, weaknesses and many other things can be used to flesh this section out. It can also be used to help support why your character is on it's given alliance.

History
Write a short backstory about your character. For bonus points not only mention how their personality was shaped by their old world, but what their social status was and if their appearance factored into how they were looked upon. Note that not all their old abilities and powers necessarily crossed over with them from their old world to fantasia.

Brief Summery of their old world
Write about what their old world was like. Was it one where brute strength was necessary to survive? Did it revolve around the use of magic? Was magic outlawed there? Telling me about what it physically looked like, how magic did or did not work there and what society was like on the world will only get you bonus points.

RP Sample
No one seems to get what this is.
Look it ain't that hard. What I'm looking for is a sample of you playing your character IN ANY SITUATION. It doesn't have to be fantasia related at all.
THE SAMPLE IS NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE YOUR INTRODUCTION.
However your introduction can be a copy paste of your sample if it meets introduction criteria.
I MUST SEE CHARACTIZATION. I'll already know what your character looks like by the time I get to the sample. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOUR CHARACTER IS THINKING, HOW IT BEHAVES, WHAT IT'LL DO AND SAY. I don't really give a damn about the flower he's looking at. Flowers are nice. You can describe the flower all you want. If I don't see what I need you're not getting in for writing about a fucking flower.
AND FOR GOD'S SAKE MAKE SURE THE SAMPLE IS ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER. I DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT THE CREEPY RAPIST THAT KIDNAPPED YOU OR YOUR BEST FRIEND OR YOUR PET BIRD.
I cannot stress this enough. You must give me insight on your character's personality before you go on and start describing things. And I really must see the character's personality throughout the sample. This really isn't asking too much. >A<;;
