Passive characters are more than welcome, but it's just preferred by the majority to have someone who's able to defend themselves or able to actively participate in fisticuffs. There are many passive characters, or at least, a good handful of them, and truthfully I hold anyone who's able to properly RP as a non-combat character in high regard due to them creating their own RP and sustaining it without the need for action.
As for your character application, bump it if it hasn't yet been accepted. There's no shame in being a little impatient if your page isn't being looked at - especially if it's your only character so far.
