Applications
APPLICATIONS ARE CLOSED!
Thank you for your interest, but the train has sent everyone home!
There are a few steps to applying.
-First, fill out the app form. Make sure your character isn't taken! You can check whether the character you want to apply for is taken or being held here. (Reservations are optional; however, if someone reserves a character, nobody else may app that character until the reserve expires.)
-Second, post the app in the comments to this post.
-Third, wait for a modly response. You may be accepted, or you may be asked to rework or elaborate on some part of your app. Very rarely will someone be outright rejected, as long as they've put some thought into the app.
NOTE: Apps can take up to two weeks to process. It usually doesn't anymore, but things happen and we have several mods currently working/in school. The mods will get to them as soon as they possibly can. If you haven't heard a response in that time please, PLEASE send us another message to let us know, in case we some how missed you. Thank you for your patience in advance.
Additional Applications:
Special Privilege - Application with additional information needed to app a Special Privilege Character. SPCs have the ability to alter the train/affect the AI of the train outside of specialized cars. SPCs need to have moderator approval BEFORE the application is sent in.
Time Skip/Canon Update - If you're looking to bump your character's canon up past the point they were apped in from.

Name: (What you want us to call you?)
Method of contact: (How we can reach you. Please include at least your main LJ account here; optional methods of contact include email, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, etc.)
IC info:
Character name:
Age:
Gender:
Original canon: (The series this character is originally from. If either one of your canons is one with multiple adaptations, versions, or universes which are significantly different in some way, please indicate which one you are applying for. [Examples of canons this applies to include Full Metal Alchemist's anime vs. manga vs. Brotherhood and Pokemon's anime vs. games vs. various manga.])
Target canon: (The series this character's AU version is from.)
Canon background: (This doesn't have to be too long; two paragraphs is probably good. We're just looking on some background information so we can judge how well you know the character. Please do not link to a wikipedia article or another web page unless it's a canon posted on Livejournal somewhere. Canon history MUST be written by the mun and cannot be a copy-paste. )
AU background: (This needs to be as detailed as you can make it. To accommodate for shorter canons/lacking information, four paragraphs is the absolute minimum we can take, but please don't skimp on quality.)
Powers: (Does your character have any superhuman abilities? Special talents? Unique skills? List them here, and make sure to include any weaknesses or limitations.)
Personality: (A couple of paragraphs is what we're looking for here. What is your character like? If there are any major differences between their canon personality and AU personality, make sure to mention them here and explain your reasoning.)
Possessions: (What does your character have with him or her when he or she boards the train?)
Changes at a Glance: (There are obviously going to be a lot of differences between your AU'd character and their original lives. This is a short list of very noticeable differences like age, race, and powers. Example can be seen here.)
Sample post: (Method of posting is either first person for the main community, or third person for the logs community. What we're looking for here is your character's voice, so try to get that across! Method is entirely up to you, but make sure to use proper grammar/spelling/punctuation in your prose.
The content of the sample isn't really important, and it doesn't have to be set on the train, but it should be about the AU version of your character. It may be the character making an announcement, talking to him/herself, wandering about the train, or even speaking in internal monologue. It's up to you.)
