Haha, wow. Not sure whether I'm lucky or unlucky :P
Anyway, I read the essay and edited accordingly. I can't access the chat for some reason, though. They stop loading after a few seconds... Maybe it'll work for me another day.
Anyway, is there anything else I need to do, or can I just join now?
EDIT: Looks like I'll have to wait until tomorrow, I gotta go now...

...Yeah, now that I think about it, what Every said is correct. Your backstory is a tad too similar to both Fool and... I think either Psyche or Jane, not sure which. There's also concerns for OPness involved as well, since most others don't know full monese right off the bat.
This is NOT a rejection notice, especially not of the "LOLnope no WAAPT for you" variety - pretty much everything else about the character and especially her mons is fine, and it's partially our fault for not telling you earlier. Just tweak the backstory to seem less deja-vu-y and you should be good to go.

Contact Me!Hmm... I can understand not wanting the same thing yet again, but... I don't really want to scrap the backstory completely. Would this still be too similar?
At age 3, Alyssa barely escaped a hotel fire which ended up killing both her parents. She ran away in order to try and find her home, but got hopelessly lost. She did, however, meet Rain, who she bonded with to the point of being almost sisters. She kept searching, accompanied by Rain, but after several years, she had pretty much given up. She then decided to try and fit in with society... but considering she ran away incredibly early in life, she couldn't understand people very well, and shut herself back out. She continued living in the wilderness, struggling to live for herself, while still keeping on the move, due to a tiny sliver of hope left for finding her old home, wherever it is.
Is this all right, or do I need to come up with something completely new?

Hmm... It's still pretty similar, but I think it's different enough from the rest to be acceptable.
And as for the O Pness issue, if I'm reading correctly, the whole "fluent in Monese" thing is balanced by not being very fluent in English, correct?

Yeah, that looks better. And as the others have pointed out the monese thing shouldn't be too much of an issue, especially if it's ballanced out.
Have you tried accessing the chat again? It can help a lot, but if you can't access it normally there's Pidgin. If you don't want to install that, we can still work with you in this thread, don't worry.
For when you do jump in, most of us are in Azalea, but are moving to Goldenrod soon, I think.

Welcome to the RP, Bittersweet. As Every, Straw, and Umbra said, those links should be very useful. (I could have sworn there were usually more than just those two, but I can't find any others that you might need...)
And by the way, you got the record for "Fastest newbie to be shipped", at exactly 23 seconds after you posted your bio! Congratulations!
