Canon Character Creation Priority

[bluehanabi]

Hi, everyone! I've been browsing this wonderful site and thinking about joining the community again. I have a brief question: when canon characters are in the process of being created, may others apply for these "work in progress" characters as well? Is the character reserved for he or she who is currently building an application, or is priority established based on the application that is first approved?

Thanks!

Hi there, welcome back! Yes, they are basically fair game until they are approved, but a couple of active people have been working on canon profiles for a while, so are off limits. This would include Izuru, Shunsui, Ukitake (I think) and Hisagi. And Komamura. But I think everyone else is okay. If you tell me who you have in mind I can probably help you further. ^__^

Welcome back!

It's generally common courtesy to ask if someone's working on a profile already basically. If they're active, that is. Some people have canon apps and then just sort of...vanish? It's kind of weird, but anyway...I think Nanao did a better job than me

I've been thinking about applying for Hisagi or Kira for some time, but I want to respect the hard work of those applying for them by not applying as well. Right now I'm in the process of picking another character to possibly work on in case space doesn't become available for the others. Thanks again for your help!
