Alright! So many reviews in just a few hours! Thank you for all your wonderful applications and your speedy reviews. I'm going to try to include as many of them as possible, but some of them had to be cut. Why? Well, if you didn't get accepted, it was because of one of three reasons:
1. You didn't follow the rules for your application. I know because there was something you forgot to add in.
2. Your application was incomplete. There were one or two applications that left certain parts out. I feel like I should remind people that except for certain parts (challenge ideas, the anything else section and anything that said optional) all sections were required. You're free to add anything else you want to the app, but the parts I included need to be there. If you have any questions about any of the sections, don't be afraid to PM me with your questions. I won't bite your head off (normally).
3. If it came down to two similar stereotypes or two of the same gender from the same country, I did have to make a decision between them, which came down to whose app was better in quality if the first two reasons don't apply to one of them.
And now, without further ado, here are the accepted characters by gender!

Congratulations to all of you whose OC's got into the story. For some of them I changed the stereotype around a bit, usually just getting rid of the character's country from it (from the English Chef to just plain Chef). To those of you whose's OC's didn't, don't give up hope! As long as your problem was just one of the first two reasons, I will allow you to correct the mistakes made and to add an updated application for review. I did see quite a few well made apps that didn't get in because they didn't follow the rules completely. Go back to the first chapter, read ALL the rules and than correct your mistake. Applications for France are no longer being accepted since I now have two OC's from there, but don't let that discourage you from creating characters from other countries. I am particularly happy that I only had a few overlaps of countries for people, since I expected to have five different characters all competing for one countries space. Now, I would like to address two people here directly since they don't seem to have any way of PMing me. First is Desire at gunpoint. Though I would have liked to accept Nathenial, I do need to know about his hair (color, style, length etc. etc.). When writing a story about somone else's character, at least for me, little details are always important to portray them right, so just fill me on that and we should be cool. Next is XxXthe star nightXxX. Since you didn't seem to know what they were, I'll explain strengths and weaknesses here. Your character's strengths are what they're good at, whether it's being athletic, being smart or something like never giving up. Their weaknesses are the exact opposite, what they're bad at. Again, this could be things like being weak, slow, or easily manipulated. I hope that helps. Finally, I need 5 more of each gender, so put those creative muscles to work to create more characters. At the moment, it is still restricted to two OC's per reviewer to give more people the chance to submit. Later on people may be able to add another one, but not yet. The final thing I want to add is that if anybody ha any ideas on who they would like any of their characters paired up with, bring it up to me via PM or review. Other than that, I've got nothing so keep sending in those apps so I can get this story started soon.
