APPLICATION

Please review the Premise and FAQ/Rules pages. Then place a hold on our Student Roster page. Select the application that corresponds with the House of the name you've chosen.

Throughout the application process, be sure to visit our various informational pages for setting guidance (and the resources page for PB help!), and if you're unclear on anything or have any questions, don't hesitate to hit our Dropbox to get more info.

Post your completed application to your character's journal as a public entry, then link it to this post as a comment for the moderating team to review. All comments are screened.

Application codes are provided below. We would prefer you use our template, but you may make modifications or use a different template so long as it is readable. You must also retain all the required information from this application.

Please keep auto-formatting on when completing the application unless you're familiar with HTML. If you remove the lj-cut tags, you can also edit this application in rich text format, and then re-add the tags once you're finished. Here's a quick guide for how to customize the image where the House emblem appears on the app.

Our application code borrows heavily from the back to basics game application by tessisamess. ♥

Provide an outline of your character's history starting with birth and leading through to present day. Students are likely to have attended at least one school from K - 8 prior to Peckenpaugh. We are happy to read family histories (that is, histories of parents, grandparents, etc.), but please remember that your student is your focus. If your family's history is stretching on for more than a paragraph or two, consider editing it out and appending it as a comment at the bottom of the application.

We want players to be able to explore character concepts that interest them, but we ask that if you are looking to pursue sensitive subject matter you do proper research. Be mindful in the application and in play of how other players might be affected by sensitive character background content.
