Hello Ice! I'm a host for the upcoming season as well so I'll try to answer your questions one by one:

1: When applying, are we applying as ourselves or an OC?

You are playing as yourself, no need to create characters since this isn't a role playing game, rather an online reality game! You get to know people from all across the world, interact with them and play Survivor.

'''2: If the answer to Question 1 is that we apply with an OC, can I safely assume the information you want submitted in the application is for that of the OC? (Name, Age, etc.)'''

Since you're playing as yourself, all the information is about you.

3: Again, along those same lines, should we answer the personality quiz as ourselves, or as if an OC was answering them?

As yourself.

'''Basically most of this was due to my uncertainty on whether or not we were playing or a character was playing. I've been a member of various different RPing websites and I've seen both formats for Survivor-based ones (though most of them are dead).'''

Yeah, there are some websites where people play with alias or as characters so it's understandable for you to have questions about this. But in this website we try to keep things as close to reality as possible so when you're talking to people it's as yourself.

'''4: From what I read, I've come to understand that once we've applied to one season, we can't apply again? At all? With the same character because you're looking for new ones, and with new ones because you're giving all members a chance? Is this correct?'''

After you play once, you can apply again but only for seasons with returning players like for example Fan vs Favorites, Heroes vs Villains, All Stars, Revival, etc. But for seasons with only new players you won't be able to apply after playing once already.

5: Will we be invited to a group chat on Facebook Messenger for the ORG?

Yes, you will be added to a group chat that will be your tribe chat and where you will be able to talk to your tribemates and the hosts. You will also be able to make group chats for alliances with people in your tribe if you want to. And you will have a group chat with the hosts that will be your confessional thread and where you will be able to send in confessionals, submit for challenges and send in your votes.

'''6: This will be my most ridiculous question so far, but what does ORG stand for? I'm assuming Original Role-Playing Game, but everywhere else I've been we've always just used RP for Role-Play, so I'm asking just to clarify.'''

ORG stands for Online Reality Game, so as you can see this isn't a role playing game, there are no characters.

'''7: Should I go by a specific name or just ask to be addressed by the name of my OC if we use one? I'll use my real FB, so I suppose making an obscure Username was a little pointless.'''

You can have a nickname if you want to or you can go by your real name, however you prefer.

8: Is there a time limit for how long we have to have been a member of the Wikia before we're allowed to compete?

No, not at all.

'''9: How often would you say you run these ORGs? I'm asking because I will definitely be applying until I get in one, much like my intentions with the real Survivor reality show.'''

A new season starts every month and a half or so, although sometimes we have seasons with returning players so it might take longer for a season with new players to start.

'''10: Is there anywhere specific rules are laid out on the Wikia? I have been searching around, and maybe I'm just not digging hard enough, but I haven't found a specifically detailed list of how everything works. How often challenges are done, how votes are conducted, etc.'''

Yes, you can read the rules here: http://survivor-org.wikia.com/wiki/Rules

'''11: If I can't use Face Your Manga on my device, can I use another avatar creator? I found one on the Play Store I can download called My Avatar that seems to build avatars that are extremely similar to the ones made on Face Your Manga.'''

We use the avatars from faceyourmanga.com for all the seasons, try to create one there but if you can't then you can make one in My Avatar and then the hosts of the season can adapt your avatar for one in faceyourmanga.com

Hopefully that answered all your concerns and if you have any more then don't doubt to ask!
