Hi. I made an account yesterday and it prompted me to make a character right away so I did. I notice when I log in to my account it tells me I must first create a character but if I bring up my list of characters it shows my character as currently applying. Is that normal?
Yes, that means your character is awaiting staff approval, which usually happens within a few hours. Staff will look everything over and make sure it fits with the world, and then you'll be good to go.
Gimf hit the nail on the head. Dibs on your boots.
Oh and welcome to Armageddon!
Welcome to the game!
Yesterday was an American holiday, so a lot of us were more than likely just unavailable more than usual. You should find your PC approved. Have fun!
