This one is a bit border-line. Even though it is a pretty decent app, I'm a tad concerned about a emotionless powerhouse running amok. Even though you said he wants to do things for the greater good, characters need to have a more complex set of boundaries. No character can be perfectly good or bad, they need to have a bit of both. I suggest you add something to make him more complex personality wise. If you add on a little bit you may get accepted.
All right, I'll tweak it a bit. What do you think would be good? I'll take out the "no killing unless needed" bit, that's probably part of the problem. I could give him some kind of flaw, like maybe he's got a bit of a soft spot for certain rare gems or that he tends to judge things by appearance( like assuming that anything ugly is evil). Or maybe that he has a bit of pent-up anger from feeling abandoned by his creator. Would any of those work? I'll take out the "missions of benevolence" part, too.)
It depends... currently we would only have 5 players including Kingtoten12's that's on the way, and rakadishu's which still needs to be tweaked. I think we are going to need a few more players. It would be awesome if DrNightKOT made freeman and Dragoncasp made Drake, we could really use them.

I would probably go with the pent-up anger from abandonment, but he can have good qualities too. Be sure to give him a mix. Also, even though he is a mannikin make sure you give him human emotions and feelings.
I'll make Drake on Tuesday, I'm just really busy this weekend, so I didn't want to put up an app, and not be able to RP if it started by this weekend (just so ya know I didn't forget)

All right, here's my -edited- app:
Name:Poppet
Age:Around 500-600 years
Gender:none-personality is male, though
Items:amulet-carved into a crude drawing of a face, and a metal chisel.
Powers:super-strength, fire-retardant(stays on fire, but isn't hurt by it), very tough.
Weapons:Metal ridges on fists.
Description:Large wooden mannikin, about eight feet tall. Lower arms and legs are large, almost popeye-like. Face is crudely carved, with a puppet mouth and red slits for eyes. The wood he was made out of is treated with special chemicals to make it flame resistant, and is built around a metal skeleton.
Personality: Strong sense of morals, tries to avoid killing people. Naive, and can be easily manipulated. However, if he discovers he is being manipulated, he will kill the offender. While he is good at heart, he holds a lot of pent-up rage inside, due to events in his past(explained in bio). If he finds someone that he feels is related to those events, he will become hostile.
Strengths: Very strong and tough, is definitely better in melee situations.
Weaknesses: Cannot act without a leader. In addition, cannot act without being given missions by said leader.
Bio: Created by an alchemist around the medieval times, he is a madman's first success at creating a type of life. His creator wanted to avoid any kind of revolt, so he carved a law into Poppets very soul: Poppet must lie in wait, petrified, until he accepts a mission. Then, and only then, is he given life. He must work towards that mission as much as possible, and upon completion, must return to hibernation until a new mission is presented. Before the alchemist could give Poppet his first mission, poppet was swept into the ocean by a massive storm that destroyed the alchemist's castle. Poppet floated, sleeping, until he was pulled into the Xerras' dimension. He does not know exactly how he was left in the ocean, as his soul was barely coming to rest in his newly created body, and believes that the alchemist rejected him, throwing him into the ocean. Because of this, Poppet holds a lot of anger inside of him, and tends to react with irrational hostility towards anyone who deals in weather control, magic, or alchemy(just for the record, he views gunpowder as a spawn of alchemy). As such, other warriors will find him difficult to befriend, although it is possible.
Other: Poppet must ally with someone before he can fully awake. Until then, his body is lifeless and stiff. At times that do not need his strength, he remains confined inside the amulet he carries with him. The amulet is worn by whoever Poppet is allied with, allowing him to burst out of the amulet at any time. He uses his metal chisel to keep his joints clear from dirt and debris.
Poppet does not know what a cat is. He never had a chance to see one.
One-liner:Poppet, the alchemist's triumph.
Link:n/a (still working on the picture, sorry. I haven't had a chance to use the scanner yet.)
@IronPhoenix: Thank you for the new app, I will be certain to use it. Also If you are willing to pop in occasionally and let me know how you think things are going, that would great. I respect your skill as an RPer and I could use someone to keep a check on things.
I'd be happy to help anyway I can. This time around though I don't think I'll play as a character, but rather take on a mod position as I'm busy making my own RP which I will also be GMing.
Name: Roxas
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Items: Summonable Keyblades: Oathkeeper and Oblivion
Description:
Personality: He wonders about who he is and where he comes from since he is a Nobody, one half of a person in KH. He gets along with people well and likes to make friends. However when a problem comes to him he is always serious about it and won't stop until it is finished. Overall, he is mysterious, but outgoing and is ready for a fight, but he never looks for one.
Strengths: Single Keyblade Fighting, Dual Keyblade Fighting, Gymnastics (Basically being able to jump far), and he is able to shrink his size. (I decided to add this to his character in exchange for making his Magic skills a weakness and keeping the usage of his Magic low. If you do not like that I added this ability then I shall remove it and bring magic back up.)
Weaknesses: Magic, he can do it, but it isn't his strong suit. He only uses it in dire emergency.
Bio: After Sora, the person Roxas is a part of, is attacked by Riku, his heart is taken from him and thus his being is separated into 2 halves. Roxas is then taken in by Organization XIII and he is sent on missions to kill Heartless to finish Kingdom Hearts. (This is where this RP comes into play.) Then, the Xerras come and threaten the destruction of The World That Never Was, where Organization XIII is based. The Organization sends Roxas to go off into the battle seeing that he is the only known weilder of the Keyblade in that World.
Other: Roxas doesn't really have an opinion on cats since he has never seen nor heard of one.
Suggestions: Nope
One-liner: Roxas, The Other Half

I would like to help and be a Mod, but The thing is I kind of want to play, soooo... ye Nevermind.
@Mob_Mauler: Denied. There is a few things you need to fix up. One, his weakness is a strength, no magic or shrinking, it makes him OP. Secondly, I would like you to describe his personality a tad more. After that, we should be good!
I certainly hope not. I believe they're simply waiting for things to get started. and the only reason this hasn't gotten more applicants presumably is that it wasn't on the front page.

((Would I be able to play as a member of a race from a strategy game? the problem is you dont ever learn much about their actual man to man combat abilities other than that they are undisputed masters at it, shall I just make up weapons and such by creating man portible versions of the weapons used on their starships?)
