Original Character Application
If you're here, we're assuming you want to apply! Great! Just be sure that you've read the rules. If you're here, you also want to create an original character. OCs can really liven up a place, but they have a questionable reputation in the LJ RPing community. Because this is a game based in an existing canon and not an Original World, the OC Application is much more involved. Please read the following before filling out an application:

- To apply for an original character, you must have spent at least one month at Checkmate with a canon character.
- OCs cannot begin with a rank higher than a 5th Seat for Shinigami, or Fraccion for Arrancar. However, any position within a Division or under an Espada should be discussed with the Captain/Espada first. Humans are open to be almost anyone. Quincy will not be accepted.
- The application is extensive, and each field must be filled out completely where applicable. Word count will be taken seriously.
- There is no RP Sample. Instead, you will get to choose from the following characters and do a quick log with them as an example of your character's development in 3rd Person: Abarai Renji, Hitsugaya Toushirou, Ichimaru Gin, Kyouraku Shunsui, or Urahara Kisuke.
