Character Applications will only be accepted during the initial window presented in the OOC. The closing of this window will coincide with the launch of the IC. Once the IC is live, no further character applications will be accepted, providing players with an easier time writing stories and using characters without needing to worry about them being applied for. A new application window will open at the end of each season, following a 'draft' for current players, during which they can brainstorm and reserve characters for the upcoming season. 

After the first season, priority will always be given to consistent and active players. Any abandoned characters or plots which don't connect to the greater story or another player's overarching story will be wiped from the IC and Roster and considered non-canon. This will continue with each subsequent season to prevent abandoned characters and their posts from becoming artifacts.
