Greetings to both our existing members and any fellow Nobodies with plans of joining us here at ~CastleThatNeverWas!

While there happens to be a summary of the character creation process in an earlier journal (located here), it has come to our attention that it would be most helpful to come up with a more detailed explanation, which is what this journal is all about.


The following will be required on your character sheet in addition to your application:

• A clean scanned or digital image is preferred. (No webcam or photos if it can be helped.)



• Color (You don't have to be a professional, flat coloring will do fine).



• 3/4 to full body shot of your nobody. That means no headshots or busts (unless accompanied with the body shot).



• Your nobody's weapon with the nobody symbol on it somewhere (or weapons in the shape of the symbol, and the like).

If for any reason an applicant should fail to meet these requirement, he or she will not be accepted, and will be asked to try revamping their character for reapplication.

We are also requesting that each note in the application have the following listed in the note for easy reading:


Name:
Element:
Brief description Of Element Use:
Weapon:
Homeworld:


Also, while we're on the subject of notes, we'd like to address a few things. Note, while these are not required, it would make our jobs as Superiors much, much easier, and give us more time to focus on important matters at hand--namely, the club.

• Notes should be properly titled according to what they deal with.
  
  
  • Element Questions should be labeled 'Element Questions'
  
  
  • Applications for entry should be labeled 'Joining Application'
  
  
  • Mission Requests should be labeled 'Mission Requests'
  
  
  • New Art for the Gallery should be labeled 'Gallery Submission'
  
  
  • Anything contest/exchange related should be labeled after the event's name. IE: July Event for the month of July.



• Something else you could do that would be greatly appreciated is not to respond with one word notes. It floods our inbox with more notes that add nothing to the conversation. If we send a note saying you are going to be checked via the superiors, or your image will be uploaded shortly we assume you've gotten it and read it. We do not need confirmation of this. Again, this is only to keep the number of extra notes to a minimum.



• For people who ask for lists of elements to see if they are taken does not make our jobs easier, but it would help if you can get faster information from the people who hang in the chatroom (located here). They probably know the taken elements better than even we do, and they'd be more than glad to assist you.

A tip when asking for elements: First, go to the member's page A.K.A. the page with the members and their elements, worlds, names, weapons, and owners. Think up your element and press the macro ctrl+f [command+f for mac-users] and type in your element in the search function that pops up. If it doesn't show up as someone's element, now you have to visit a thesaurus. I recommend m-w.com or thesaurus.com. Type in your element and look at the synonyms. use most if not all of the synonyms back on the members page in the search function. If you're element is still free, you should then note it with everything else needed for submission to the club.

Thanks everyone!
