Filling out an application is the first step in creating your character. Whether you create a child, student or adult is entirely up to you. Just make sure you keep it real people; no seven-year-old will know how to cast spells just like no fifteen-year-old will be able to fully occlude their mind.
When you are posting your application, do not post as a reply to this topic. I will delete it without even looking at it. You have to create a new topic for it.You can have your characters' being descendent from canons but please try to keep it real people. We don't want to mess too much with the timeline. The best bet though would be to having them just slightly related like cousins or second cousins. If you want to have a character who is the son/daughter of a canon you will either need to speak with the person who roleplay's that character or you will need to speak with an admin.Please make sure you fill out the application with as much detail as you can; I don't care how much time you take as long as it's filled to the best of your ability. For canons that don't have much history known, you can make up. For example, we don't know the full history of Remus Lupin all we know is that he became a werewolf when he was a young child. Why or how will entirely be up to you.
For OC's though I want as much detail as possible. Do make sure you keep to it otherwise I will deny the application.
The application is bellow, do make sure you use it.

(If you are making a child, you only need to make sure you write at least two paragraphs detailing their childhood from when they were born up until now. I am not expecting a 2000 history for a 4-year-old but I do expect at least two full paragraphs.)
