For future reference, since I may app a second character if Gylfie works out:
Your explanations for what an acceptable AU is are fairly vague, except that there can be three of them and they need to all be suitably different.
Is the rule so long as they keep their canon personality, they're fair game?
Are there restrictions (Crossovers with other canons, for example)? Will a more 'out there' AU (say, a Harry Potter from an AU where he and his friends were normal kids and wound up playing SBURB, a la Homestuck) be judged more conservatively than an AU that meshes more easily into the canon world and/or narrative (say, a Harry Potter whose parents were never killed by Voldemort and grew up as a normal wizarding child)?
Also, do you have any tips on what you're looking for in a fandom OC? Beyond the usual pitfalls like being the ~surprise secret sibling and/or lover~ of one of the main characters, I mean. They're another type of appable character that aren't covered very much in the FAQ or acceptable character page. And I have a Homestuck fantroll I've been dying to play somewhere. Don't judge.
EDITING because I have so many possible characters I want to app and I'd like to make sure this one is okay to have in the running: you said in response to an earlier question that humanoid non-humans between 2 and 10 feet tall would be allowed. Would a three foot tall bipedal clothes-wearing poetry-writing blue cat fit this criteria? He's from a short film called The Cat Piano, which is about eight minutes long if you want to confirm that he's sentient.
