Well, you could close applications and then give everyone from this thread four days or a week or something to put a character together - if they haven't got one by then, they almost certainly wouldn't have had one ready for a timely start anyway even if you were just accepting everyone.

Alternatively, you could put everyone's names into a hat/assign everyone a number and then randomly select a group of your preferred size. Personally I prefer a merit judgement, which is why I initially suggested a decision based on quality/depth/potential of character sheet, but at the same time this is casual, so maybe requiring high standards of presentation and characterisation isn't the most appropriate. On the other hand, you don't have to make your standards massively high, if you're just determining between applicants...

Etc. etc.

Point is, there are options, and arguments for and against both - but realistically if you were looking for a group of 6, 14 is probably too much. 7 or 8 might be an acceptable stretch (depending on your preference), but even that many can get things really bogged down if the game runs on a more or less sequential turn order.

Honestly I'm just throwing stuff at the wall here, it's up to you what sticks.

EDIT:
@Bluetommy
How about a split then? Make two rps, set in the same setting, but at different place? Kinda like a split-off of a popular series! Both are looking for the Avatar, yet both do so for different reasons!

This would work too. Or just run two completely separate games concurrently.
To be fair, Avatar (godawful movie aside) is one of the greats; I don't think it's at all unusual for it to attract this much interest. Personally speaking, I've been (re)reading a lot of Avatar stuff recently - Vathara's Embers is a 700k doorstopper, but well worth the read; I come back to it every few months - which is why I jumped on this so quickly, but I'd have been interested even if I hadn't.

You could ask for character submissions and then pick the ones you like most, if you want to whittle it down a bit.
Not my usual fare, but I could go for something like this. I'll throw my hat into the ring.
If it's 40k, I'm almost certainly going to be interested. Can't speak for anyone else, though...
Hi! I'm Rokoran, and this is my new favourite website on the Citadel.

:v

More seriously, I figured I'd take a look for some new PbP sites, and found this. Possibly re-found, I vaguely remember something that may have been this website from five years or so ago, it's been a while. Either way, I've been roleplaying for upwards of a decade in one form or another (mostly D&D, M&M and freeform, but I've dabbled in a fair few other systems,) and I write under both this and other usernames on various other websites, though everything current is on hiatus right now while I deal with some real-world stuff. Mostly I'm looking for something a little lighter on my schedule that'll still let me keep my creative muscles in shape; once I've got things straightened out I'll likely start running an RP or two of my own.

With any luck, I'll see you there.

(Also, yes, the title was an Obi-Wan Kenobi reference, if you caught that.)
This is, quite literally, exactly what I poked my head into this site hoping to find. Up for one more?
