Before I get into bio responses, I'm going to remind people to please [i]ask[/i] if they have questions about some facet of the setting; as anyone involved in Vita's [i]other[/i] ongoing RP would know, there's a lot of information to answer most questions, and we don't expect anyone to sift through 70-odd pages of IC information to find it. xD

And for ranks, another rough approximation is that while copper ranks are for novices, iron is perfectly competent, and steel is your experienced, reliable work force, and the majority – not just of players here, but in general – are in these ranks. Silver and above are where you start getting comparisons to prestigious knightly orders or invites to the same. 

[@Rune_Alchemist] Accepted

[@Mas Bagus] Rejected. While having information hidden from other players is one thing, not contacting myself or Vita and telling us first is a big no-no. This goes double for applying for the higher ranks, [i]triply[/i] when the character's entire backstory gives no reason for her to be this strong.

Beyond those reasons, the reference to HP percentages in her spells makes no sense. This is not a LitRPG. What's more, there's a whole host of things in the abilities section that suggest some reaction to blood that should really be covered under [i]personality[/i]; it's not adequately explained at all.

[@Ti] Also rejected – again, the stances thing reads more like something out of an RPG manual, but beyond that it's particularly sparse on detail. Is she good at everything? Something better? 

Backstory-wise, things don't really add up. She's a peasant who's gone off to prove herself as a paladin, but… just became an adventurer instead rather than approaching the church. And, despite the background suggesting someone who's gotten training but not [i]experience[/i], you've got a thoroughly mid-ranked and experienced skill set.

A very key point that we'd have raised if asked: paladins are [i]priests,[/i] not just holy warriors (the training a paladin and your standard village priest undergoes only diverges along practical lines) or heavily religious. Trying to become one by skill at arms wouldn't be a goal.

[@Eisenhorn] Accepted

[@Thunder999999] Not enough detail; the actual biographic detail is barebones and the abilities appear to have been selected by playing boggle until combat-adjacent terms came up. One particular area of sparseness is… so he's a miller's son (which would be pretty wealthy, for a peasant) who left home [i]only[/i] in adulthood to learn magic. But he's only been taught disjointed spells with combat applications? That's not something that happens by accident.

Final note for everyone – the characters accepted so far [i]were[/i] ones that had some discussion before posting to clarify any hazy points. We really don't mind helping. :T
