Generations ago, two packs clashed in a tremendous battle. With heavy losses on both sides, each pack fought until the leader of one side was felled by the other. Arshigo prevailed and forced the other pack, the Keva’al, to leave. The heir to leadership of the Keva’al vowed vengeance on the Arshigo for the death of their leader and the eviction of their pack. Then, they left. What was left of Arshigo made their own decision that day, to keep to themselves and stay within their pack territory because they did not desire and could not afford another conflict so major.

As time passed, a clan of lynx moved in alongside Arshigo and a mischievous pack called Dirac staked claim of their own lands as well. The lynx were a friendly group and often tried to befriend Arshigo and inquired what their past was, but Arshigo always declined their offers and said nothing enlightening about their past. Dirac was one to become a thorn in everyone’s side, pulling pranks and making mischief with every chance they got. Anyone made a suitable target and those in Dirac were bold enough to take their pranks to lands not even their own.

Then came the day when strangers appeared and settled down in once abandoned lands: the Keva’al had returned, still holding their grudge despite the generations since the war. Through plots, schemes, and other forms of recruiting, they worked their numbers to grow so that one day they could settle the score. Their leaders were vicious and their ways were ruthless as they worked toward their goal. As their strength grew, so did their chances of success against the Arshigo, even as the Arshigo discovered their return.

Unfortunately, nature has a way of throwing its own twists into everyone’s plans. A mountain in Keva’al, known as Abattu, erupted. It rained destruction and debris across Keva’al. What lands were not irreparably damaged became void of prey thanks to the scare. The Keva’al wolves were forced to leave their lands, becoming a nomadic terror. Their numbers had been reduced thanks to the eruption, but their goals were still the same.

Another victim in the spring the year the volcano erupted was the lynx clan. Their numbers had been dwindling, but the final blow came when their leader was killed protecting a youngster. The clan was thus destroyed and a potential ally of the Arshigo vanished, leaving them more alone for when the day came that Keva’al finally would start a new war...

Having some trouble getting enough into your character's application? Here are some things that you could do to make it better!

Appearance
Well, hopefully you aren't having too much trouble with this section. It's basically a list, after all. It's more for a quick-reference for others than getting insanely detailed, so don't stress out too much, now. Just include a description of what you want people to 'see' when they look at your character.

Personality

Basically, this is where you get to describe what your character acts like. Don't just start listing things off like "Therolin is smart. He is nice. He likes clouds." The more detail you give, the easier it will be for others to get a basic understanding of your character when in play. Also, the more detail you give, the more uniquely you can define your character from the rest of the world. Just sit back and think about who your character is, how s/he would react when put into some situations. Remember to put some detail in! Consider some of the following questions to answer about personality (but don't feel restricted to them!).

What is your character like alone? Around others?
Is s/he shy? Uptight? Outgoing? Cautious? Mischievious?
Under what circumstances does you character act in what mood?
What is your character's deepest desire?
Does s/he like pups/cubs? Wants to be a parent? Have a mate?
What is your character's greatest love? Fear? Hope?
How does you character view him/herself?
What does s/he think of family? Friends? Strangers?
Is s/he he a fighter? A lover? The silent in the corner type?
What does s/he think of fighting? What would s/he do if forced into one?

History

Ah, History. This is probably the one of the most free-form parts of an application. Before you begin, you might want to jot down a few things about your character's past, just to keep them better in your mind. Depending on your character's age and activity level, you may have a lot, or not too much, to talk about. However, the minimum is three decent paragraphs, so you will have to try to make that no matter what the past. Obviously, you are not limited to anything I suggest. There is no way to cover all the possible questions about someone's past. You could have a lot of fun putting in things that happened in your character's past, so long as they are realistic.

What kind of area was your character born in?
What was his/her family like?
What kind of things did s/he do when s/he was young?
Were there any major life-changing events in his/her past? What happened and what did it do to his/her life?
Did s/he ever do anything regretable?
Did anything happen to his/her family?
What made him/her leave home?
Was there anyone special in your character's past?
Did your character change in attitude from his/her younger years to now? If so, how and why?

RP Sample
History not your cup of tea so you decided to do an RP Sample instead? If you've played this character before and have a post long enough for the 450 word requirement, you may feel free to copy/paste that post to here. Please, however, reference where this post was originally at! If you have no such post and you are working from scratch on this, then I suggest making a mock-situation for your character to be in so you can demonstrate how you would play your character. It doesn't matter what you choose to do so long as you think it displays your writing and/or your character well. You can be as bland as going through everyday events, or put your character into one big pickle, or even use this section as a practice platform for a possible version of an introductory post for your character being on the site. Quite free-form, this bit can be.

I hope these suggestions can get your mind working to fill in some more detail in your application. You don't have to answer every question that is here, nor do you have to stick only to the ones that are here. These are just here to, hopefully, give you some ideas of things you could use in your application. For other ideas, you could always skim through the accepted character descriptions.

Bonus Tip: If the required length for you character is too much for you, you can always ask for help or even decrease the age of your character. Younger ages require less writing, after all...
