Oh boy, you still haven't been approved yet? Well if it makes you feel better, I had to wait for two weeks until my character was finally approved. This was partially due to me not really saying anything (not wishing to bother the Moderators) and I was somewhat fortunate that a mod noticed my application in the backlog of unapproved characters at the time.
Still, the best way to get a Mod to look at your application I feel is to wait for one of them of them to hop onto the Chatbox and pounce on them to review your application in proper. I understand if your apprehensive about ambushing a moderator like that but pretty much all of the mods here will be happy to review your application on the spot if you where to prod them so. A PM to any one of them to get their attention can also work if you want a particular mod to review.
Anyway, here are a list of mods you can try to get to review your application if you happened to notice are in the chatbox whenever your online checking your application:
Leena Lilac, Richard Lionheart, Jet Jeyson, Llyod Vanheim, Sammy White, Snu Lagu and Oliver Balcross
Hope this helps and/or reasures you. I undertand being apperihensive with directly communicating with the moderators as if they are authorities figures on another level but these moderators are just helpful who want to help this website be place for RPer with a similar interest come together to RP in setting in the RWBY universe, or at least some version of RWBY universe. I encourage you to continue to be patienent but it would also be wise to get ahold of the moderators if you feel that you are waiting too long. I understand the excitment to begin RPing your character right away... but if you don't want to wait for another week or two then I highly implore that you ambush a mod in the chatbox, that way you don't have to wait and/or get luckly like myself XD
Best of luck now! Hopefully your character will be approved... soonish <3
