Just a couple of changes/additions. <3
-- When filling out the Character Profile, make sure to include all the information in the OOC section (alias and other characters). This is because we do have a character rule that you must be actively threading with at least half of your characters before making another one. If you don't list them, it's very hard for us to see if you can be accepted or not. It's especially helpful if you do @username for them, though this isn't required.
-- I've been thinking about the NEWT requirements a lot. Well, ever since they were instated. I do know that in the real world, not all jobs are gained from grades or successes from school. When you're 5 or 10 or more years out of school, how you did then doesn't really apply anymore. Therefore, a new rule has been put in place where if your character is 5+ years out of school (23 or older if graduated from Hogwarts), they may bipass the NEWT rule by doing two things: 1) Having an interview to get the job. You may one-shot this by NPCing the interviewer or by roleplaying with a character on the site who would be an appropriate person to conduct it. 2) Your character must have had appropriate life experiences for the desired position. So if they've been a musician since school and wish to become a Healer, they wouldn't be successful in getting the job. But if they wanted to be a Healer and worked in an Apothecary or as a Herbologist, then that would be appropriate life experiences to make them fit for the job of being a Healer. <3
If this doesn't make sense and you need more examples, let me know. <3
