 '''Feature-Characters (FCs):''' We expect the player to show an understanding of the character's history and personality, including covering up to the time periods defined in the integration files. We do regularly check wiki-entries on characters, and any FC application which too closely resembles a wiki entry may be rejected by staff. Keyblade Wielders and Princesses of Heart will generally also require a higher level of application. We would ideally like to see an understanding of how events in their past effected them, their thoughts and their opinions, not just a listing of events in their backstory.

 To go further into the OCs from OC worlds. We require the character to be from a world that has fallen to darkness. But what's more importantly, is that we'd like an applicant to first consider if the application idea would not also fit in one of the existing worlds in Final Kingdom - and to not bring in anything that seems to not fit the rest of the themes. We're potentially willing to assist and lightly fudge with incorporated theme if it is needed, but this is up to staff digression on a case-by-case basis. As implied with the way the [[Escaping Darkness|fall of the world]] is handled, generally a character won't be able to bring what they can't carry on their person during their departure. Some living things might make the journey on their own however.
 '''Shadow Lords and Sorcerers:''' Shadow Lords and Sorcerer concepts usually have higher power levels than regular characters, and thus we ask that the characters be better defined, especially in realms of powers and abilities. There are major and minor Shadow Lords as well as Sorcerers. Establishing how the character became a Shadow Lord or acquired their powers is important for these applications.

This goes into a 48 hour cycle per re-draft. If you believe you can't make it within these 48 hours for a good reason, contact staff, and we will work with you.
 * Staff will attempt to be as impartial as possible, and is expected to hand an app over to the headwizard if they believe they can't make an unbiased decision. The staffer or headwiz will send an email out when this is the case, so both applicants know who to contact.
