○ Applications will be open from 9:00 PM PST on the 1st of the month until 9:00 PM PST on the 7th of the month. They will be processed as quickly as possible after they are submitted; if you have not received a response by the 10th of the month, feel free to contact the mod.
○ Applications will be closed every third month with the first closed application cycle being November 2019. Please see the Rules & Procedures page for more in-depth information on the game's monthly rotation and why apps will be closed these months.
○ application queue: there are currently 100 spaces available
All applications that would put the game over either the gamewide character cap or an individual cast cap will be placed in the queue below and processed on a first-come-first-served basis. Although applications may only be submitted while apps are open, they will be processed as soon as space becomes available, whether or not applications are open at the time.
application guide
○ Submission Format: All applications must be posted to this entry, and must fit within one comment with a subject line in the format of "CHARACTER NAME | CANON | RESERVED/NOT RESERVED." While applications should not be linked in the entry, players may link to an alternate source such as a wiki for the character's history and powers; for original characters, the world history may also be linked from an alternate source such as an entry on the character journal.
○ Accepted Character Types: Fandom Characters, Original Characters; CRAU allowed so long as the character has been out of their canon for no more than 3 years. Please see the Rules & Procedures page for more in-depth explanations of appable, non-appable, and case-by-case characters.
○ Application Verdicts: Applications will receive a verdict of ACCEPTED, REVISIONS, or DECLINED. Revisions must be submitted within 48 hours of the revision request being sent out. If this is impossible due to extenuating circumstances, please contact the mod team. Declined applications can be reworked and resubmitted during the next application cycle. If an application is declined 3 times, it cannot be resubmitted.
○ App Challenges & Reserves: The Quarantine will not have application challenges, but if you would like to apply for a character that is on reserve, please submit the application with "not reserved" noted in the subject line, and your application will be considered if the reserved application is declined or not turned in by the end of the application cycle. Applications will be processed on a first-come-first-served basis unless there are 10 or fewer spaces available in the game, in which case reserved applications will be processed before unreserved.
○ Character Limits: Players may have a maximum of 3 characters in the game at opening; the option to increase the number of character spaces may become available at a later date. A player may submit up to two applications in one app cycle. The gamewide character cap is 100 at game opening; the cast cap is 10% of the total gamewide cap at any given time (currently 10 characters). These are subject to change as plot progresses.
○ Samples: Linked samples should be from a publicly accessible source, and no more than 1 year old. Screencaps or transcripts from locked sources are not acceptable as samples, unless the character is being apped as a CRAU from a locked game, and in these cases permission from the other participant(s) in the thread must be obtained and submitted as screencaps along with the sample. All samples should represent the character as they are being applied for; for example, samples cannot come from an AU setting or break the fourth wall (Dear Player, etc.) As long as they meet this criteria, samples from other games, museboxes, memes, other websites (Tumblr, Insanejournal, etc.) or any other source are acceptable. For CRAU samples a link from the character's original game would be preferable, in the form of a link to their tag on the relevant communities, or specific thread links.

To submit an application, please fill out the information in the text box below, and paste it in a single comment in response to this entry. Applications should not be linked, though portions of them may be if a bulky history or world section would put them over the character limit for one comment.
