Thank you for such a quick response, I really appreciate the clarification.
Also, I completely respect your decision to do cap by characters, and if you aren't interested in suggestions or concerns on the matter, please disregard the rest of this message!
Otherwise, just in case it wasn't considered yet in your thinking of upping the cap or not, I'd like to mention this: if you get applications beyond cap and multiple people get in with both characters, it's a high probability it will cause tension.
The fact that AC is very flexible means there's a high chance for much less activity on one character than the second, and players who didn't get in because a second character was accepted instead, along with those players' friends that did get accepted, may be extremely resentful towards those players. I'm not saying you shouldn't allow people to have multiple characters, I just hope you can find a solution that's best for you and your potential players with the least amount of potential negativity on a big game open.
Again, I'm not making any suggestions on what you should or shouldn't do, but "squatting" potential is especially high in flexible AC like this until you guys can get a good feel of how they want to judge what is inactive.
Anyway, that noted, regardless of what you guys decide to go forward with I'm excited for your game to open. Thank you for making a really great game idea.
