Why wasn't my character approved?

Don't freak out and take it as a personal attack as this happens often to people who submit a character for the first time in this RPG. Think of it as a trial of humility as we don't just take anyone - remember we want QUALITY over QUANTITY in our RPG! Now, you can edit your character and re-submit it with the Storyteller's help if you wish, so it isn't like it's final and set in stone. Normally most character submissions that are denied are ones by people who haven't done their homework on our site and read what they needed to read, whether that be the Forums and RPG's Rules or the character types we don't accept anymore (badguys, ninjas, demons, half-demons, angels, half-angels, vampires, ect.) as we're saturated with those in the RPG at present. Read some of the other character submissions people have put forth and learn from the ones that got accepted as well as the ones that got denied. Overall we want original characters that haven't been submitted before! If first you don't succeed, try, try again and learn from your mistakes!
