A FEW SMALL RULES

2. When commenting, place the character's name and series in the subject.
   
   
3. Try not to duplicate names. Multiple people could be looking into the same character

As someone who reviews apps, I am usually looking for about three things

• Spelling/grammar
• Characterization
• Detail in personality as opposed to background

For background it's good to hit the points in canon that pertain to your character only, if possible(especially for minor characters). For a major character brief mentions with expansions on really important plot is the way to go. Backgrounds(even for major characters) shouldn't really be more than a page or so, imo. Anything a little over that is fine but I believe that a background should serve as a concise summary, that's all. Every little detail isn't needed, and I'm usually not looking for every major detail.

Personality and samples should be the strongest sections. idk if other mods feel the same way, but personality and samples are what I enjoy reading so I don't mind a bunch of writing there, especially personality. Some games like you to stay within their word limits for samples though.

For games that allow your character to have their powers, or limits their powers in some way, it's good to outline them for mods, but if they don't ask for it it isn't called for. I get a lot of players who list their characters' powers all neat and orderly and I really appreciate the effort there.
