Claim requests
Arda Marred does not require an application, but rather a character claim that still needs to be approved by the mods. This is a bit like the little sibling of an application: It is shorter and more aimed towards making it easier for other players to get the gist of your character. The audience of your info post is primarily other players. We do reserve the right to decline claims or request revisions before the claim is approved. To place a claim, the following is needed:
✦ The character may be neither held for someone else nor already claimed.
✦ They must have an info post on their journal that uses the info post form and seems acceptable to the mods.
✦ Be one of the allowed character types as listed on the FAQs.
Format
✦ In the subject line, please write: Character Type | Character Name | Canon | Held/Not Held
✦ Please use one comment for each character.
✦ If this is a re-claim of a dropped or idled character, please also write "re-claim" in the subject line.
✦ If you run out of subject line space, just continue the rest of the info underneath the in reply.
✦ To request a character with an animal companion co-claim please add a note in your reply, and whether or not that companion is essential or non-essential.
Please note the following:
While you are allowed to place a claim at any time, claims are only processed from the 8th to the 15th of any given month. Please try not to post on the very last day, because claims can take several days to process.
We have a hard max of three AUs of the same character. That means that there should be one canon spot always available, and three AU spots. These AUs must also be different from each other. We will be using time stamps to determine processing order during claims.
Due to the nature of highly varied character types, some claims may take longer than others because more than one mod has to look at them for whatever reason. If you are "skipped" please understand that you are not forgotten, we simply need to take more time with your claim.
Due to the nature of allowing so many different character types and duplicates, many times "judgement calls" have to be made in terms of what characters are allowed, not allowed, or need to be AU. Some situations are going to be tricky! Power adjustment, questions, and revision requests won't be uncommon. But never fear! We're here to help you get in, rather than keep you out.

Non-canonical AU | Kíli | Tolkien/The Hobbit | Held
Player who referred you: Ardruna
Full Canon Title: Tolkien's Legendarium; The Hobbit
Character Name: Kíli
Info post: Here
Is this character a duplicate ?: No.
Briefly explain how this character differs from their canon counterpart: He's still a child with no beard whatsoever.
Question!
First, bitty!Kili is actually a duplicate, as we have approved another Kili in the game. (This does not affect your ability to get in game, we just wanted to make that correction.)
Now for the question - We just want to confirm your height description. While you say Kili is small for his size, at the human equiv of 8 years old, seems reeeaaaly short for being just knee height. A human child at knee height is more like 3-4 years old. If you want to keep your description the same, that's okay, but we wanted to make sure your description matched your vision of the character because it seemed an unusual choice for the age. For reference, the average 8 year old male is about 4'1" tall, while the average adult male is 5'10" tall.
Re: Question!
As for the height, that was me trying to get my head around dwarf height ratios. I figured that since 4'5" seems to be a common height for adult dwarves, Kíli would have to be significantly shorter to be considered a small child, but I wasn't sure if I had the right dwarf proportions vs. human ones, so I'm willing to change it.
(Editing to note that I've made the change, and hopefully it works better!)
Approved!
Side note: I'm having trouble deciding how to tag your character, but I don't want to delay your reply or your joining the comms. I will get back to you with your character tag.
