While the overall application is good and the sample is strong, we feel like the personality is a little sparse. We would like you to expand a little more on it. While nothing you have said is incorrect, we'd like it to be a bit more worked out so we can judge a little easier.
If you'll respond to this comment with your revisions, we'll look them over ASAP! You have until 7/29. Thank you!

While the overall application is good, we feel like the personality is a little sparse. Edward is a very central character to the show, so we feel there is more you can go into in regards to his goals and dreams, as well as how he interacts with other people.

Ok, I'll get to revising it a bit more. Thank you for the feedback.
I also entered with my Kunzite but he was turned down. Any feedback on what I did wrong in that context? Thank you.

Re: Ok- I've given his personality a bit more of a boost.

[ Player Name ] : Seph
[ Personal DW ] : N/A
[ Age ] : 26
[ Timezone ] : UK GMT
[ Other Characters ] : N/A
[ Character's Name ] : Wallace
[ Character's Age ] : Around 25
[ Series ] : Pokemon
[ Canon Point ] : During Emerald while Team Magma and Aqua are working on their bad stuff. Wallace is Champion and has taken over from Steven.
[ History ] : Wallace (Japanese: ミクリ Mikuri) is a Master Water-type Trainer. He was once the Gym Leader of Sootopolis City's Gym, known officially as the Sootopolis Gym, in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, wielding the Rain Badge. He was promoted to Champion of the Elite Four in Emerald. He is apparently close to Steven Stone, and assists him in the Cave of Origin quest in Ruby/Sapphire. He was taught by Juan, who takes his place as Gym Leader in Emerald.
In Ruby and Sapphire, he runs Sootopolis City Gym where he gives out the Rain Badge as well as TM03 (Water Pulse). By the time of Emerald, Steven has left his post as Champion and Wallace challenges the league, becoming Champion himself, while his mentor, Juan, becomes Gym Leader. His Pokémon as Champion are also Water-type Pokémon.
[ Personality ] : Wallace is an outgoing individual. He is flamboyant and openly extrovert. He can be quite shy to certain subjects or have mood changes at the lightest of things. He enjoys being with others especially his Pokemon and new friends he may meet. He tends to talk poetically as this is how he is. An artist by nature he revels in nature and the flow of words connected with Pokemon battles or contests. Being the Champion, he can often boast about his ability or give others guidance on improving themselves. He doesn't act well to being told what to do. He loves the sea and anything related to it as water is his natural love. He has a deep friendship with ex-Champion, Steven Stone. Total opposites of one another, he found solace in having a friend like him.
He dresses in rather outward clothes, which give off his extrovert nature. Usually blues, deep purples and whites. All the colours of the ocean and it's plants. He is a very nature-loving man. He can't stand bullying or people abusing Pokemon. Team Magma and Aqua, he despises and wants to try and stop them along with everyone else.
As a child he enjoyed being by the sea and he always loved being in front of a camera. At every oppertunity, he loved having his picture taken and being with his friends. Something that troubles Wallace is being alone. He can't stand being alone or being in the dark. That's something his friend and ex-Champion Steve prefers. When he was smaller, he was once stuck in a cave in the Hoenn region. It sort of scarred him for life as his fear stuck with him.
Being a loyal person he would protect his friends and Pokemon with his life if the need arose. He was raised by his parents to respect himself and others around him. Being rather posh and well-spoken, Wallace has earned himself a small fortune within his family. He would never spend money unwillingly as he believes in saving for the future.
He had a good education as a boy and went to many Pokemon Training schools in Hoenn. Learning from his trainer and mentor, Juan. Juan helped train him with water and grass types. Hence why Wallace became a Gym leader and a stronger person by nature. All this built him up to become the Champion of Hoenn.
He fights for good and never evil. Stopping both Teams from reaching their goal, he believes in justice within the land and would never trust anyone who was a thief. He hates thieves and brigands like them.
[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] : He is apt at using water and grass type Pokemon. He is good at contest as he has the knack for artistic flair and likes to show off during such events. Flamboyancy is second nature to him. It can be useful but over confidence can bring him down sometimes. He has a strong partnership with his Milotec as it often works closely with him during battles or contests. Milotec puts up with anything Wallace goes with but if the man is wrong on a choice, his Pokemon would make it known. Sometimes, Milotec has to get him out of tricky situations if any arise.
[ Other Important Facts ] : He's the Champion of the Hoenn region and also judge at the Wallace Cup. The prize is the Aqua Ribbon, which he gives to whomever wins.
[ Sample ] :
- Suddenly, by the force of Vatheon, an over zealous npc, or even your character's friends playing a joke, your character suddenly finds themselves wearing clothes they otherwise would never wear. What do?
Wallace looked down at his clothes and gasped. He was wearing red? A red jumper which was knitted and fraying at the edges. His pants were made of knitted wool also. Who was this playing a game on him? He frowned and felt a deep blush come to his cheeks. Whoever did this would find out how angry he could get, when he wanted.
He turned to Milotec, who was watching close to him. Was that a smile on it's lips? He dismissed it and began walking to the nearest Poke Mart. Perhaps they'd have some new clothes he could fit into while he looked for his original clothes. He didn't even want to go looking for his old clothes in these....things. He sighed. The shame. "Milotec, you'd better not be laughing at me." He shot his Pokemon a warning glance. His azure eyes lit up with annoyance and embarrassment. He passed through some heavily dense woodland and hoped no one would comment on his clothes. How far was the next Poke Mart? He pulled out his Poke nav and frowned.
The next city was Slateport. Ah, he loved Slateport. The sea and the docks he loved to sit and watch the waves lap at the shore. Bad clothes or not, he was happy about returning there. Devon corp was where Steven's dad worked. He owned the company and Wallace and Steven were very good friends. "Ah, Slateport, Milotec. The wind and sea dance like a couple doing a dance. I love the sound of the sea." He mused as Slateport approached.
Wallace picked little bits of wool from his jumper as he stepped into Slateport city. Hiding his vision from anyone he dashed into the Pokemart as quickly as possible. He ordered a blue sweater with some Wingull on it and some turquoise pants. Perfect. Paying and taking his goods, he changed quickly in the changing room and headed back outside. Milotec was waiting for him with it's usual calm expression. Wallace sighed. "Thank goodness for modern convenience I say!"

How's this? ^^
[ Personality ] :
There are a lot of things you could say about Edward. Many of them aren't particularly flattering. He's brash, stubborn, arrogant, bad-tempered and frequently violent, with an impulsive streak only matched by the depth of his cynicism. Even ignoring his tendency to fly into berserk rages on little to no provocation, his poor social skills make him hard to hold a conversation with; he's unfailingly rude to more or less everyone, and that goes doubly for any kind of authority. He notably breaks the shounen protagonist mould by being genuinely intelligent, but his hot-bloodedness tends to undermine that - although when it doesn't, expect him to be insufferable about it. None of these traits are what defines him, though - in fact, after two years of being stuck in another world and steadily losing hope of seeing anyone he knows again, he's toned a lot of them down.
What hasn't changed is his sense of responsibility. His worldview can be summarised by the Principle of Equivalent Exchange, the basis of all alchemy and a rule Ed takes very seriously even though it isn't always strictly true: nothing can be gained without losing something of equal value, but conversely, anyone who sacrifices something will obtain something of equal value in return. Translated into a way of life, this means never dodging your obligations and earning your own happiness. Moreover, since Equivalent Exchange is meant to be a universal principle, those obligations aren't solely to yourself or the people in your immediate experience - you're never completely extricable from the rest of the world you live in, so you'll always bear some responsibility for it. It took him a while to refine his philosophy to this point, but it's working out for him so far.
His outlook has two notable consequences. The first is his determination. Ed has bottomless reserves of the stuff. If he decides he's going to do something, then come hell or high water he will; if anything goes wrong, it's his mess to clean up, and nobody else's. This approach tends to get him into more trouble than it gets him out of, but that hasn't ever stopped him. The second is his kindness - the guy's a lot nicer than he first seems, and certainly more than he'd like to let on. He'll gripe about it and maybe try to pass it off as something else, but if it's within his ability to help someone out (and often even when it isn't), he'll almost always try. He sympathises especially strongly with outcasts, having lived as one in a couple of different ways. As you might expect, conflict arises when his altruism interferes with his other goals; generally, though, it's the other goals that will slide.
This says more than you might think, because in general, Ed is intensely goal-driven. He'll completely restructure his life around them if necessary (an extreme example would be his joining the state military at the age of twelve just so he could use their resources), and take personal offence when anybody suggests he can't achieve them, even himself.
His top priority has always been Alphonse, his younger brother and sole surviving blood relation. What began as an ordinary older sibling instinct was cemented after the two of them were effectively orphaned by their mother's death, then further ingrained when their failed attempt to bring her back (which was initially Ed's idea) cost Al his body. Compared to that, Ed's own well-being takes a definite back seat, and even his empathy for other people will struggle a little - he proved himself perfectly willing to sacrifice his life for Al's, and almost failed to balk earlier when the price was instead the lives of a crowd of death row inmates. Al was even Ed's main reason for wanting to leave Earth after being trapped there; once he finally ascertained that Al was still alive, he lost most of his interest in returning home.
However, he does have other motivations, and over the years he's become more comfortable with admitting them. His moral sense, deriving from his abovementioned empathy, is a big one. Back when he was a State Alchemist, he quickly gained a reputation as a champion of the people due to his compulsion to right wrongs wherever he saw them. These days, though he no longer has any stature or much in the way of resources, he's resolved to continue doing much the same thing on Earth; at the point he's taken from, he's chasing the inventor of the atomic bomb to make sure nobody uses it for war.
Of course, this kind of lifestyle takes its toll, and Ed does harbour a tendency to brood about it. To be fair, he's lived through a lot, and he's not the most balanced person when it comes to dealing with it. Though he's mellowed out about some things such as his parental issues, he has plenty of others that he's still working through - among them are his difficulty being candid about his emotions, a habit of viewing other people as less than himself despite intellectually knowing better, and a heavy inclination towards guilt. It's these issues, probably more than his lack of social grace, which will complicate any close relationships with him for the foreseeable future.
Still, rough patches aside, he's a pretty heroic character. He just needs to be given a while in order to show it.
[ Personality ] :
There are a lot of things you could say about Edward. Many of them aren't particularly flattering. He's brash, stubborn, arrogant, bad-tempered and frequently violent, with an impulsive streak only matched by the depth of his cynicism. Even ignoring his tendency to fly into berserk rages on little to no provocation, his poor social skills make him hard to hold a conversation with; he's unfailingly rude to more or less everyone, and that goes doubly for any kind of authority. He notably breaks the shounen protagonist mould by being genuinely intelligent, but his hot-bloodedness tends to undermine that - although when it doesn't, expect him to be insufferable about it. None of these traits are what defines him, though - in fact, after two years of being stuck in another world and steadily losing hope of seeing anyone he knows again, he's toned a lot of them down.
What hasn't changed is his sense of responsibility. His worldview can be summarised by the Principle of Equivalent Exchange, the basis of all alchemy and a rule Ed takes very seriously even though it isn't always strictly true: nothing can be gained without losing something of equal value, but conversely, anyone who sacrifices something will obtain something of equal value in return. Translated into a way of life, this means never dodging your obligations and earning your own happiness. Moreover, since Equivalent Exchange is meant to be a universal principle, those obligations aren't solely to yourself or the people in your immediate experience - you're never completely extricable from the rest of the world you live in, so you'll always bear some responsibility for it. It took him a while to refine his philosophy to this point, but it's working out for him so far.

The other app was declined because the entirety of the application was sparse and did not show an effort to play and a deeper understanding of the character. Whereas the sample in this app was solid, it was sparser and didn't show as much how you intend to play the character in your Kunzite application. With that along with the personality, in which we ask for three solid paragraphs, the application did not meet standards. You are welcome to reapply for him next round. Hope that helps!

When is the "next round"? I am just curious, as I would like to re-apply with Kunzite once I bulk his application up some.
