As you stated in your app, the YGO wiki entry is "off and full of fanon," and the general wikipedia entry did not explain enough about Bakura's role to stand on its own. The members of the application team that were familiar with the canon were able to confirm this, and thus, what we had to work with were the essays you provided - which, as we've stated already, were problematic.
Though you did state that he wasn't as close to the group as he could be, the overall description of him within the application still had him presented as being closer to them than he was in canon. His likes have a lot to do with his personality and are indicative of character traits that were overlooked, which is why it was brought up. As it is now, the way you glossed over what he likes and why he likes them, as well as other aspects of his personality, portray a very unbalanced version of this character that does not mesh with what we see of him in canon.
The rejection for this round is non-negotiable; revisions are asked for when the problems with the application are not so extensive. However, if you would like to re-apply, you are free to do so in the next cycle starting July 8th.
Thank you for your time and interest in Rekindle, and if you have any other questions concerning the specifics of how your application for Bakura may be brought up to par, you may PM them to this account and the members of the application team that are canon familiar will address your concerns as soon as they have finished processing applications for this round.
