Application
Application Rules:
-Certain characters canonically have great influence over dimensional travel (such as Yuuko from xxxHolic or one of the Data Integration Thought Entity humanoid interfaces from Haruhi Suzumiya, i.e. Yuki and Ryoko) will have a greater influence in the setting than normal, or are just extremely high-powered and can potentially affect the game in major ways. Playing one often requires some special plot integration, and require a player to have established themselves by playing another character before they will be accepted.
-AU settings are generally allowed on a case-to-case basis, but no more than one of the same character can be a permanent member of Planeocracy. If the AU is significantly different and established (such as the Genderbend of Haruhi Suzumiya) then it is generally allowed, as the characters are different enough from the main source to be distinct. Apping an AU character uses the standard application procedure, but if the AU doesn't meet our requirements, we may deny them on that basis. Here are the qualifications for if your AU is acceptable:
1. Significantly different from the source material. Minor tweaks to history and/or personality don't make an AU different enough to really be worth accepting for us. For an AU to be accepted it needs to have something major different to differentiate it from the canon.
2. Internally consistent. In most cases you'll be coming up with the AU yourself, so you need to make sure it all makes sense within the setting. So, if something changes, the whole setting obviously has to change as a result, and we need to know how.
3. This isn't absolutely necessary, but if at all possible the character will look at least somewhat different from their canon counterpart. This is primarily to help differentiate if we have both.
If you are thinking of apping an AU of a character, please get a hold of all potential castmates as well as any person playing the same character (if this is applicable). This is required for your application to be accepted.
-Original characters are permitted, they use the same application form but require far more detail as far as background and setting. If they are a part of an existing canon, they cannot have any ties to actual canonical characters or visible connection to events (attributing events in-canon to the character that are otherwise unattributed may be permissible but is generally discouraged). As with canon characters, you are limited to two OCs, even if the OCs are from different universes. Planeocracy canon originals can use any of the settings posted in the setting information post that specifically say they are open, and must conform to the general concepts of the world. It is HIGHLY advised to speak to the mod team before making the character, these characters can be rejected automatically if they do not follow the general concepts of the established world.
-You may only have one application in queue at a time. If you would like to submit a second app, you must wait until your first has been processed.
Application Template:
Looked over the community? Brushed up on all 31,561,021 Confuto Ordinatio rules and regulations? Filled out all your forms in triplicate? Looks like you're ready to get that Gate Key! Just fill out the following form and submit it to the Executive Subcommittee of Other-Planar Affairs! That Gate Key should be yours in 5-7 business days!
The following is an alternate form that can be used in place of a musebox sample post. It takes the form of an application and interview as if the character were applying for a job. Respond to the questions in-character, if you or your character doesn't know what they're asking for indicate it in some way. The character can lie if doing so is in character, but indicate they are doing it by writing "[LIE]" before the answer to the question.

Gray Fullbuster; Pt I
Character Name: Gray Fullbuster
Canon: Fairy Tail
Background: Here (http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Gray_Fullbuster).
Setting Information: This takes place in a world called Earthland where magic is the key in daily life. There are some people who are able to use magic and there are some who cannot. There are extraordinary things in existence such as dragons, demons, steller spirits, and strange looking fish. In comparison to the average Earth world, each city or town has their own guild. A guild is used for jobs so the members can earn money. Sometimes, there are dark guilds which are a complete opposite of the light guilds. Dark guilds go against the law whereas Light obviously don't. Transportation and technology do exist, but they aren't too advance. Trains, carriages, air ships, and boats are in favor. However, computers and televisions aren't in every household. The setting isn't too complex as it sounds.
Portal Location: Fairy Tail Guild: Entrance
Personality:
Gray is a teenage boy full of determination and devotion. Especially to his guild who are ultimately his friends. He cherished them as if they were his own family, because the members of the guild all have something in common and it is about finding a place to belong. He would not let his friends down no matter what happens and will fight for them if he has to. There will be times that he would stop his friends from doing something they will regret later, for example, stopping Leon from cutting off Erza's poisoned arm. He knew there are other means than sacrificing yourself recklessly.
He will disobey any orders if he has to in order to achieve a specific goal. An example would be going to find Leon and stop him from reviving Deliora and he did not care if Erza were to kill him right then. This easily proves how determined he was to get rid of his past and get over his teacher's death. He couldn't bear to carry his guilt any longer. This was his way of doing things and to move on from his past.
However, Gray does have a rather naive and oblivious side of him. It is mostly toward Lluvia whenever she shouts her confessions toward him and it made him confused. Right now, he still does not understand what is behind Lluvia's intentions. Of course, he's afraid of another woman named Erza. He knows that will not stand a chance against her and whenever he's bickering about nonsense with Natsu, she will glare at him and it is enough to make the both of them stop. With Natsu, Gray tends to be sarcastic and overconfident. They would occasionally pick fights whenever they can and cause massive destruction.
Also, Gray has a tendency to be unaware of his random stripping. It's a habit of his back when he was learning how to perform ice magic. Since then, he couldn't stop taking off his clothes unless someone mentions otherwise.
Overall, Gray isn't timid at all. He is extremely outgoing and friendly. Since he is a member of Fairy Tail, he was taught how to respect his comrades and learn to give other people a second chance. His personality is similar to Natsu, but without the hot fiery energy.
Reason for Joining: Gray is a part of Fairy Tail and therefore is devoted and highly dedicated to his guild. Joining this organization and saving lives from the destruction of the worlds is basically part of his morals. He wouldn't let an innocent person die like that.
