Submission key:
- ACCEPTED: Everything is good, you're good, the app is good. You can pat yourself on the back and sit back 'til the acceptance letter comes in.
- ACCEPTED, BUT...: There's something you need to clarify, or something that needs just a little tweaking. But you're still in, and applications for your character are closed. Rewrite whatever needs it, -then- pat yourself on the back.
- REVISE OR DIE!: A common phrase for, "The reviewers loved your core concept, but you need to change some things. Please please PLEASE revise, we really want to accept you!" ^_^ Applications will still be open for this character until you (or someone) gets an 'accept'.
- REJECT/REVISE: Your character has one or two glaring problems, or a slew of small faults. Do your
best to correct them and try again, and your character could still have potential.
- AUTOREJECT: Someone was smoking crack. Either they applied for a character that doesn't exist, or they left something blank, or they didn't pay attention to the rules or theme, or no one could make sense out of a -single word- of the app (the last one happens, sad but true). Please come back when you're sober, crazy drug person.
- CHARACTER TAKEN: Alas, you sent yours in too late, or we chose another app from the same batch over yours. In this case, we hope you had a second choice in mind...? ^_^;
Astral Senshi
Sailor Girru -- Hugh Eleni Khalida: AUTOREJECT. I quote the dictionary, emphasis mine,
"civ-i-li-za-tion n. An advanced state ofe of intellectual, cultural, and material development in
HUMAN society, marked by progress in the arts and sciences, the extensive use of record-keeping,
including writing, and the appearance of complex political and social institutions." This application
did not even *brush up* against a spell checker. Please oh please, read the website, please oh please
know what your sphere means. And to the implied statement that women with pretty faces and pleasing
figures while being also ubertall are somehow ugly freaks, Relia, our resident lovely girl of the Tall
persuasion, responds: "Fuck you. Tenderly. With a chainsaw." It's offensive no matter how you slice
it, and a weak reason for a beautiful character to angst about being freakish to begin with.
Sailor Isara -- Casimir Pherein Themis: CHARACTER TAKEN. This concept... well, frankly it
really doesn't work, the whole "caravan merchants travelling the trails" thing is not only exclusively
in the realm of the Earthbound, but the romany culture-esque thing has been thoroughly covered by
Nusku, we can't have it a second time. The relevance to justice is rather thin throughout. Ultimately
we suggest you start over with a different character background/inspiration if you wish to reapply.
Sailor Isara -- Eurydice Amaryllis Marcella Athagos: ACCEPT (tiny) BUT. It's unanimous, EURY
SO DARLING. She is hot with Justice and not too many smarts. XD Her reluctant accessory is to die for.
The relation between Eury and Sarhos is preapproved and thumbs up for giving story hooks. The
condition for avoiding RPing with yo'self has been covered. Everything in here rocks socks. The
tiniest but's (heh) are twofold: One, since we are full up on the sugary-nice, be sure to clearly
define (either by making a couple of choice statements in thepersonality section or just by keeping it
in mind during RP) what we already know - Eury is GOOD, which is different than NICE, meaning she has
just as many, if not more chances to drive people batty with her personality flaws as the next guy. XD
The tiniest but is to turn up the color differentiation between her warm and cool purples, we had a
hard time seeing it but we want you to have it, it IS a nice alternative to the greys. YEE.
Sailor Zakar -- Razi Aislin Erelah: REJECT/REVISE. To paraphrase sections from one of the
splendiforous reviewers: Razi, unfortunately, has no depth. "Being too nice" is not a flaw, and there
really aren't any quirks here for flavor -- Razi is a little girl who is sweet and nice, and
sometimes she forgets that she should be grown-up and acts like a little girl. Mmr. She withdraws
into herself to hide from "the pain of the world around her" but that's very random -- WHY does she
think that life is pain when there's so much sweetness and light everywhere else? The key here is
overlap, overlap, overlap. Not only is Razi a dreamy, spacey teen but she's also somehow
supertalented
in many spheres that encroach heavily on other characters. It's not that she HAS skills in Astral
projection (Sin), illusion (Adapa), divination (Nanshe) and the like, it's that she's good in ALL of
these? Narrow it down, make it more relevant to either her sphere or her career aspirations/hobbies or
both, and PLEASE DON'T cut and paste your personality wholecloth from a zodiac site. You have to
personalize it and round it out with flaws.
Primal Senshi
Sailor Tammuz -- Vanaja of the Woodland Celts: REJECT/REVISE. The main issue here is that Celtic mythos has already been covered, firstly, and you can't really lift it entirely for your clan, these are all FICTIONAL fantasyland clans even if they're inspired by real peoples. While we appreciate the thorough treatment of background information, it feels like you didn't quite grasp the whole of the game theme, admittedly difficult for a brand-new first-timer, but still. There are several other less glaring issues (spelling, overlapping stuff, contradicting information, no magically summoned weapons), so in short you might want to take a look over this and other games a little more to get the feel for what they're looking for.
Acolytes
Adapa -- Fuuma Kouji: AUTOREJECT. You cannot have Marduk win Fuuma in a game of cards. You cannot have Japanese names, period. You cannot have a vague, un-followable personality and history, and most of all you cannot take the NPC badguy without permission and run rampant, twisting him into a convenient device for awful, awful things that make the GMs cry bitter, bitter tears.
