VISUAL APP - Can be hosted anywhere during the application process. We’ll be posting them all in a gallery on the website after the acceptance list goes out. A full body image is required. App will be added by May 22nd.

Appearance - Because humans evolved from the Shae, who were modeled after sea creatures, humans can have any hair/eye color combination. Colorful markings/birthmarks are also common to represent their Shae heritage. Please just avoid neon colors.
Fashion - Inspiration draws from general fantasy media with a seaside twist; we’re highly lenient on designs!

WRITTEN APP - Please host this on Google Drive if possible! The template is listed below. Note that this is the minimum and you’re free to add in anything else or format the document as you want.

Role: [please be sure to reserve! descriptions are listed below - your character does not need experience in the role they select (and they aren’t expected to), Kalypso and Chiron will be training everyone! Please include 1-2 backup roles in the event we have too many of one role.]

Speciality: [please be sure to reserve! everyone's good at something outside of battle! Your specialty is unique to them, which is why we have reservations. This is a non-combat ability that may aid you during exploration, investigation, or interaction. Come up with a cool name for it and describe what it does! For example, an apothecary may have a specialty of plant identification, being able to identify common plants and their medicinal properties. Someone else may be highly charismatic and get extra info out of an NPC. This category is vague and open for customization, but let the mods know if you need help!]

Required: Where they were born (what region?), where were they prior to joining the ship, why did they join the ship, how did they get there? Recruitment is happening on the island of Greenrest in the Western Region.
Remember that we're hoping to tie in character back stories into the plot if given a chance! This is easier if you give us secrets, rumors, goals, locations, things your character is hunting down, etc... NPC descriptions (names, personalities) are encouraged given that mods will be running them if they come up during events. This information can appear in either your public or private backstory.
SECRETS/LOCKED BACKSTORIES - [For any secret information, feelings, and other plot hooks you'd be interested in exploring with your character, please send over a separate document with bullet points. This may dive into character fears, goals, feelings, secret events, etc.]

Mark the weapons known (include category, ie "spears" or "blades") and their ranks here (including current WP), and describe more specifically what these weapons are (ie for water magic, do you cast the spells with a tome?
