All of this is taken from a file i have been keeping a hold of from applications on my sister's boyfriend's site, on which i am a member
Applications have got to be the most frustrating and exciting part of the site for new members. The more applications we read the more apparent it becomes that each person's story wants to stand out and be the one on top. With each "Alpha-Character Wannabe" app that we see we get more and more tired with reading those heroes and the villains of the wizarding world, for once I'd love to see someone just come out and say "I'm nothing special. Just your run of the mill well-adjusted, no alternative plan person. Here are some weird submissions we've had over the past one and a half years. Keep in mind that all of these were turned down and asked to edit.
"She's a half-vampire, metamorphagus, animagus and she looks like a veela. Her emotions also control the weather"
Are you sure that's all?
"He's a werewolf that can grow his fangs at any time he wants to."
So is that considered a cosmetic accessory, or a handicap?
"His mother is a member of the order of the phoenix, and his father is a member of the death eaters."
Well, I'm glad your parents were able to work out their differences. I hope the leader of both groups aren't aware of their alliance.
"His Father is an Auror and his mother a death eater" (vice versa)
Wow, either your father is a bad auror or your mother put a spell on him... tee hee
"most of his face is covered by his long platinum silver hair, which he sometimes ties into a pony tail."
I wonder how much his hair would go for on the Wizard Black Market. By the way, the age of his character is 16.
"he tries generally to wear muggle clothes-including baggy black pants and a shirt with the label of his faviroute muggle band Tool (dont expect any of yah to know who they are...)"
Hmm... a band that has been around since 1990. Maybe you shouldn't assume that everyone was born yesterday. Considering you like the muggle clothes better, maybe you'd be better off on a Charmed RPG, where you can mate with other morons such as yourself.
"being the youngest, he was made to do close to everything and was pushed around alot, he began to smoke under the stress and hasnt yet stopped. when the letter from hogwarts came for him, he was delighted he would be getting out of the house,"
So that means he started smoking before the age of 11... wow... Talk about a jump start on cancer and disease
Along with applying for the site comes the conundrum of finding a wand. This young lady decided that she wanted to be different.
"Month of Birth: Born on12 midnight exactly...on the 1st of augest and 31st of july, so i think that means i'm born in both months?"
You mean the rules of the universe don't apply to you?
Here is a lovely application, this person got under our radar too. We sorted them, gave them a Common Room, and a job on the site, it didn't occur to me until tonight that they weren't even accepted.
Normally people will write long and thought out applications and some are just excellent where I feel that this person actually exists. Here is what this person wrote:

I don't know about you... but last I checked the application was titled "Character Application", maybe they thought that they were enough of a character to put down all their personal information. I have two words for this person among the many I would like to share... no, I think I'll just post a picture.
Imagine with one click of that button you would have looked like 20 times less of a moron than you portrayed yourself. OK, now I'm getting mean. Sorry! That's all I have to say.
