Though, the layout of this forum is entirely different to what I'm used too. For my old forum, we just made an OOC thread and players would post character applications in there. How's it work here?

You make a thread and it has an IC, an OOC and a Character tab. Usually you place your character sheet in the OOC and then if the GM accepts it you put it in the Character tab. Some have different rules, but this is your safest bet.
