7) Your characters reason to want to join
Josh seeks his fame and fortune looking to become the citys hero, Some would say Josh's goals are somewhat vain though his skill with a bow and agility cannot be questioned. When your bein attacked by Josh you are the hunted

I'm not satisfied with the characters reason to join, the background is alittle unrealistic but plausible, still. I'd like some more reason than becomming the hero of the city Kathia to join as that's not really something we'd take you in for as the New Dawn strives for equality among it's members.

yeah i agree that the reason to join is alittle weak. Also the name is quite modern.

I would prefer the background to be in more correct written form. Since I am not a native speaker I have problems with badly written english.

It is also obvious that since I am a non-native speaker I don't see my own numerous mistakes - otherwise I would have corrected them ;-)

Other than what has been said i dont see a major problem...if you do fix the small bits Balance would be happy to have you....

I agree with the above.

- Change your characters reason to want to join.
Your characters background betrays the reason he wants to join. You mention that:

"Josh" doesn't really seem a very outgoing or charismatic. More of a dark, ruthless character that cares little about what others think of him. However you mention in his reason to join that:

This doesn't really fit. Perhaps the fortune-seeking but a person as blunt and merciless would find it hard, as well as probably not caring about, seeking heroism. Besides, as Rashad said, the New Dawn strives for equality among it's members.

- Write your Application in a more correct written form.
Try writing it in Microsoft Word first. At least some incorrect grammar fragments might be picked up. Your spelling is ok though.

Other than those things, your set.
