On Submitting a Canon Character...
Use the code above to fill out our application for a canon character. The fields listed in this code are the required parts of the Canon Application. For creating an OC, see the Original Character Application.
You are welcome to use Wikipedia to fill in the application. The most important thing that we are looking for here is the Role-Play Sample. Although there is no clean-cut distinction between what may be “in character” or “out of character” for DC characters, we would like to be able to see that you can play the character in a roughly believable manner. We do keep in mind that there are many different interpretations of the canon characters across television, animation, film, games, and comics. Feel free to base yours on any of them, or a combination thereof.
The examples provided below are suggestions for each application field. You do not need include information on every example listed.
Please create a new Thread with your Character's name as the title and place it in the PENDING BOARD.
Thank you!
