First come, first serve. All canon characters are required to include a sample post in their application. Some characters may be needed for plot reasons or roles important in the city, but others may simply be member-requested. All such are noted.
Playing a member requested character more or less means you're certain of getting threads right out of the gate, and is a good way to help you get to know the other members. On the other hand, playing an actual canon sets you up for either involvement in the forum plot, or a fairly easy way to interact with a larger range of characters down the road. Finally, playing one of
Corus' Most Wanted can help you to kill both of these birds with one not-too-hefty stone.
