Not at all, you only need to apply if you want to become a lore character or a special custom character with an important role, like being a faction leader. You are free to join the server without applying for anything. The people on the roleplay list who are not lore characters, are just people who wants to be on the character list, which you need to apply for. But again, it's not a must at all if you don't want to be a faction leader or lore character.
