Okay, in case some of you out there are still confused on how to fill our your application form, this is a handy list that can help you. This guide should explain everything enough for you to understand what you're doing. Now, as you know, the application form is as follows:

Name:
Colors:
Gender:
Species:
Personality Traits:
Unique Traits:
World Originated From (If Applicable):
First Special Ability:
Second Special Ability:
Third Special Ability:
Fourth Special Ability:
Physical Traits:
Picture (If Applicable):


Everyone is explained below in perfect accord:

NAME
Obviously, your character needs a name or everyone won't know what to call you. Any names are welcomed, but make sure to keep it clean and nice. Please don't make up long and weird names, or use any bad words. We're here to have fun and make everyone happy.

COLOR

Simply put, this means the color of your character either in terms of fur or hair. This is used to help others to refer characters by appearance, since we obviously can't think of everyone looking the same, correct?

GENDER
Is your character male or female? This is pretty easy to understand, I would think. Usually, it's one or the other, unless your character is a unique case, in which you should probably explain.

SPECIES
What is your character? Is he or she a cat, alien, fox, or something else? It doesn't matter what species your character is, but if it's really different, we might want a good description of it. For example: Meowth = Cat. If you really aren't sure, then leave this blank.

PERSONALITY TRAITS
In short, the character's personality that other characters would notice about him or her. The character could be weird, crazy, kind, violent, stupid, kind, sexy, and so on. But make sure to keep it that way. We don't want to have the character to be kind, and yet he or she is running around saying that they're going to kill everyone. Unless, of course, there's a good reason for it.

UNIQUE TRAITS

This is the one people mostly get confused with special abilities. Unique traits are simply what makes your character different from the average person. It could honestly be anything, whether in personality or ability or physicality. Other characters would probably use this to refer to the character if others don't know them by name. For example, Josh, my character, will probably be most known for being a kindhearted Meowth.

WORLD ORIGINATED FROM
The current world is Lunatea, so if your character came from Earth or Mobius, then you obviously will put down one of those two. Also an optional field, this can depend on whether the character still retains memories from their previous life. Knowing their world isn't always important.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
What can your character do? This usually refers to any unique abilities the character has, like some kind of magic. Can the character fly? Can the character teleport? All that, put it in here. Obviously, characters can't be all-powerful and almighty, so four abilities should suffice. However, if you really don't want to get rid of a character's other abilities (just for this place, of course), then you don't have to. However, just try and write down the four (or less) main abilities that they'll use. Don't worry too much; this place is to make people happy, not to stress out or feel sad and stuff. As stated above, please keep it mind that whatever abilities you want to give your character, make sure it's not overpowering, meaning it will not automatically hit someone without giving them a chance to fight back, kill someone with a single hit, or allow the character to completely dodge every attacks from other characters. Please, be fair to everyone, since everyone is equal.

PHYSICAL TRAITS

What is the structure of your character's body? He or she could be tall, muscular, small or skinny. Size doesn't really matter, but it's always nice to try and visualize a scene, so that's why this is here.

PICTURE
Showing a picture of your character will really help when others want to know what they look like. Surely you have a picture of them somewhere, so go ahead and put it with your application so everyone can see it.
