Last resort we reset and make RPing a competition. "We will only accept FIVE RPers! Each one will make ONE character app to prove they get a spot. Those who get in, get to make more characters. After the RP has started, and if people leave, we will allow more to join in and replace." or something like that. I don't want to go down that path... but we might have to if we can't clean this up.

Does that, or doesn't that include us? Alright, operation C.L.E.A.N.U.P. is underway then.

That could be a bad idea. It would just mean throw up as many ten paragraph bios of the same character with minor differences until you get in. "Aw man, Ryu didn't get in. Maybe if I make Ryu with flaming eyes, and add an extra paragraph to the bio, I'll get in."

Another thing, (I've been doing this a lot for some reason.) We have too many characters that [b]are not[/b] japanese. But, wait a second, why is this a problem? Well, if you look at the statistics, only 3% of Japan is not Japanese. That's mostly because they're the most xeno-phobic people alive, but that's roughly the statistics. If over half of our characters are clearly Americans, (no one in Japan names their child something from another nationality, as it would be considered dis-honorable. Sure, idols are allowed to do this, because it isn't their actual name.) sure this may be nit-picking, but even the tiniest amount of research into japan should tell you this. Anime's are some of the worst representations of Japan, ever, so they don't count as research.
