Growth / Stage Change Request
When you feel that your character is ready for the next stage of changes, this is where you come to post and tell me so. That means that you think your character has developed enough for the next set of changes, as well as signaling that you are ready plot-wise for that next stage. This is so that no character will accidentally progress before the player is ready.
Of course, you can't come in here and post immediately for the next stage of changes if you JUST got the last one. No changes will occur without my approval that they are ready in MY opinion.
Now, what this new system will do for us both:
If I think your character is ready for changes, that they've showed sufficient development in RP, and I have some free time, I may start on their next stage of art early. Then I'll be more prepared when YOU are ready for their changes to occur.
If you post first that you'd like to see your character progress, but I think that you might need to finish an RP or two first, I can still start on art, then have it ready to post when that is finished.
Long story short, this should make things much more organized and efficient around here, as well as preventing any possible "Whoops! Character progressed before the player was ready!" incidents.

When you'd like to see your character progress, post the following form in this thread for approval.
[b]Subject Name:[/b] (Character name)
[b]Player:[/b] (Your name)
[b]Current Stage:[/b] (What stage the subject is now)
[b]Requesting Stage:[/b] (What stage should be next for the subject)
[b]Journal Link:[/b] (Link to your character's journal)
[b]Relevant RP/Journal Entries:[/b] (If these are already in the journal, you can tell me "This RP / entry through this certain RP / entry" rather than linking them again if it's already done.)
[b]Special Requests:[/b] (This is optional. This is where you would post notes for any major changes to the character due to RP, such as hair/clothing changes or major injuries to note, or you may make requests for the next stage of things you'd like to see. Keep in mind though, I don't HAVE to do these things, but I do try to reward my RPers.)
