We're pretty careful with how we judge AUs - characters that have no perceptible difference from their OU selves (such as short-term game transplants and AUs where only one or two small things are different from canon) would be asked to either apply as OU or provide more differences in order to justify an AU slot.

If as a current player, you have concerns about an application, bring them to us and we'll take them into consideration when judging the app.
