Hello and thank you for your interest in the Wake! Unfortunately, we will not be able to accept this application. One minor note we would like to touch upon is the application's formatting. The spacing is excessive, but it can be easily fixed. The main reasons as to why we are rejecting the application is due to the history, the personality, and the third-person sections.

The history needs more fleshing out. Minor characters do tend to have smaller roles in major storylines, but we want to know what the character contributes and experiences from their point of view. Also, it's not written in a way that someone who's canon blind would be able to understand it. Regardless of whenever or not any of us are familiar with the canon.

The personality section, while good in laying out the groundwork, needs to paint a full picture of who the character is. Think of how canon events affect the character, how it may or may not have affected his way of dealing with things or interacting with others. What are his personality flaws? That sort of thing.

As for the third-person sample, it does not meet the minimum 300 word requirement. That can also be easily fixed. We recommend using a word counter to make sure you meet it.

You are free to re-app with this character once you've taken some time with it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask us.
