Thank you for your interest in rekindleme. Unfortunately, we must reject you application as submitted at this time. Our reasons for doing so are as follows:
The first issue is with the linked history. The linked essays were very problematic; they were filled with headcanon and overall demonstrated a lack of understanding of Bakura's role in canon. Additionally, there's far too much information about Yami Bakura, (who is a separate appable entity) rather than Ryou Bakura, the character this application is for.
The second issue is with Bakura's personality as it's presented in this application. He's presented as being closer to Yuugi and his friends than he really is in canon, and many of his interests - such as table-top roleplaying games and, more relevantly, the occult - are downplayed while less relevant aspects of his personality are played up.
Taken together, we don't feel as if this application shows enough of an understanding of the character to accept him into the game at this time.
You may apply again next application cycle, beginning July 8th, or apply for another character if you so choose. You may apply for the same character up to three times in total.
