Here are just two examples of good applications. It's strongly reccommended that you take a look before you begin 
one two or any other accepted applications will give you an idea of what we're looking for
Your Name: [What should we call you out of character?]
Where did you find us?: [Be specific. Was it a friend? An affiliate?]
How long have you been roleplaying?:[Simply stated]
Password: It was in the rules, find it
Birth Name: [First, middle, last.]
Nickname: [Any.]
Gender: [Male/Female]
Age: (remember, can't be younger than 19)
Birth date: [Month and Day]
Major: [what major was your character in when they were in school? (only teach classes that your character knows about)]
Classes: [what is your character teaching? They can teach up to 3 classes. The classes lists can be found in this board]
Animal Identity: [What does your character shift into?]
Likes:(at least 10)
Dislikes: (at least 10)
Fears: (At least 3)
Strengths: (At least 3)
Weaknesses: (At least 3)
Overall: [400 words minimum]
Personality is really important in understanding your character so we ask that you go into great detail with it. There are so many personality traits that you can describe and it is this that will help RPing with your character become that much easier.
Celebrity Play By:
Appearance: [400 words minimum]It's pretty simple to explain the basic looks like eye and hair color, weight, clothing, piercings, tattoos, make-up, and other extra things. You also must go into detail about what the animal portion of your character looks like. If you're a snake, great but what kind of snake, what do you look like etc. Both of these are important and must be explained as detailed as possible[/size]
Parents:
Siblings:
[400 words minimum]
Although it says 400 words, we still need you to be thorough. Family MUST be mentioned along with young childhood and adolescence. This character is, in essense, you, so make sure you are providing yourself with enough background to roleplay them. Include why and how they became a teacher. Keep in mind that shifting is genetic, so somewhere in your family there must be more shifting going on. Also, you must describe the day you shifted for the first time.
[One Paragraph Minimum]
Explain why your character shifts into the animal that it does. Why is it this animal and not a different one? Is it your courage? Your adventure seeking personality? Your hawk-like eyes? Tell us about the connection between your human and inner animal. And please don't say "It was their favorite animal growing up." Good resources to understand this better are questions 6 and 7 in the FAQ's.
