Applications Two

[havenmods]

APPLICATIONS ARE CLOSED!
The next application opening date is Friday 16th January, 7pm EST.
The next application processing date is Friday 23rd January, 7pm EST.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE POST YOUR APPLICATIONS HERE ON THE NEW APPLICATION PAGE

We're so glad you're thinking of joining us in Haven, where we are all safe.

In order to apply for a canon character, please fill out the information below and post it in a comment in this entry. For an OC, please apply using the OC information. Please do not link to applications, all applications must be posted here. Please do not delete your applications; if you do not want it to be seen, you can request for it to be screened after a decision is made.

You may apply for two characters every application round, to a total of six characters. Only two of these may be from the same canon, and they cannot be too familiar with one another. Please make sure to mark the header of your comment(s) with RESERVED or NOT RESERVED, as well as the character name and canon. App challenges are not allowed currently.

Try to remember spelling and grammar are important, and in app length quality and not quantity is what matters. All parts of the application must be your own work, plagiarism will not be tolerated, though you are welcome to reuse your own old applications.

If you are asked for revisions, please don't panic! It doesn't mean the mods don't like you, only that we probably need more information before making a decision. If you are asked for revisions, you will have one week to supply them.

Applications are open on a monthly cycle, where they will be opened on the second Friday of every month for a week, and then processed on the third Friday of the month, before being closed again.

We now have a test drive community at haventest which is continuously open. Posts there may be used in lieu of a sample in the application. You may also link posts, logs, or threads from other games and memes in lieu of samples, though we ask that they be no more than one year old. As of November 22nd 2014, samples cannot be "where am I" intro posts. The reason for this is that we often find it hard to gauge characterization from those, as most people when immediately in a new surrounding are confused or frightened.

While we encourage players who have dropped to re-join us, we do not encourage the continual rapid dropping and re-apping of the same character in a short time period. You are welcome to request specific housing, and all attempts will be made to accommodate that request, but it may not always be possible.

To see what we are looking for:
Canon Characters:
Sample Application (Faith Lehane)
Sample Application (Iroh)

Original Characters:
Sample Application (Mors)
Sample Application (Vera de Barr)
Sample Application (Malkus Iverwelling)

Previous Game History:
Sample Application (Abel Nightroad/Mayfield RPG)
Sample Application (Bolin/Discedo)

[silencethelance]

Yay thanks!

Also, just a heads up, I'll be using two accounts with Tatsumi because I am dirt poor and they would be silenceofthelance and silencethelance. Thanks!

-> REVISE

[havenmods]

While the application looks great, we would just like to ask for a revise based on the abilities section.

The reason for this is that we are unsure how you anticipate Phi's ability to work within Haven. Phi's power to jump through realities via the morphogenetic field is a power well utilized to the setting of VLR and what occurs in the game, but we would like to request an exploration of how this power would work in Haven. As Phi can jump across alternate universes, what would be the consequences if she did so and what would she accomplish?

We apologize for the inconvenience. You have one week to supply these revisions, thank you.

REVISED THIRD PERSON

It is not the first time Vanozza Cattaneo finds herself awakening to unfamiliar surroundings. It took her weeks to grow accustomed to her home in Rome. She missed the Spanish Sun, the clean wind that would blow through the windows, untainted by the masses in the holy city. Her children had been her salvation, as they often were. They gave her reason; their fascination for the city watered one of her own.

Needing answers and not receiving any that please her from those near her, she takes to walking. Never too far from the others, only where it seems solid. Her steps are careful and quiet. Who could have done this? And more concerning, how? They were aware now of the extent of their danger. Painfully so. Rodrigo's pallid face comes to mind and the black poison he had vomited. Vanozza winds her rosary between her fingers like a ward against danger and continues.

She had been confused when she came to. For a moment, she had wondered if she had perhaps gone mad. Vanozza had bit back her rising concern in favor of trying to discover--something. Something to tell her where to find Rome, to find her son, her daughter. Her fear for herself is secondary. If she was abducted, what of Lucrezia and her son sleeping down the hall from her? Are they also here? Might they be harmed?

Vanozza stumbles and catches herself against a wall. She clutches the rosary tightly to her breast. Underneath the layers of meat and bone, her heart pounds.

God help me. But God does not answer. Rodrigo will not come. Vanozza closes her eyes and prays she does not succumb.

Re: Note

Revisions!

[peeta_bread]

Hi! I added some much need paragraphs to the personality and provided some links for the first person.

Personality cont.:


Diving deeper into Peeta's personality, there's also his unwillingness to go down without a fight. His rebellious side. He tells Katniss “I don’t want them to change me in there. Turn me into some kind of monster that I’m not... Only I keep wishing I could think of a way to…to show the Capitol they don’t own me. That I’m more than just a piece in their Games.” This part reveals a lot about Peeta. First, it shows that he wants to stay himself, that he doesn't want them to change him. Second, that he doesn't want to just do what they say. He wants to rebel against them, even in a small way, to show them that they don't own him. Another example of this is when he gives Rue's and Thresh's families some of their earnings in recognition of what they both did for them. That's a big slap in the face to the Capitol. Also, there's his evaluation in the Quarter Quell. Instead of showing them his skills like he's supposed to, he paints Rue on the floor, surrounded by wildflowers, which is a big, big slap in the face to the Capitol. To add to the 'I don't want them to change me' point, at the victory tour party in the Capitol, they try to get Peeta and Katniss to drink something that makes them vomit, so they can go on eating all night. Peeta is disgusted and refuses it.

Also something else I should have mentioned is his fiery temper. He gets angry when Katniss says “Who cares?” in response to his 'I don't want to be a piece in their Games” speech, and uses a condescending 'endearment' that he knows bothers Katniss. In Catching Fire, he uses that fire to make Katniss and Haymitch work out and get stronger in case they're in the Games. Also, he strikes out at a vase when he learns Katniss has been keeping things from him, that Snow visited her and threatened her loved ones when Peeta was risking things. He was also quite angry about being lied to/manipulated by Katniss and Haymitch in the first arena, and storms off down the train. These examples all show that Peeta can take a lot, but he doesn't take lies or people not taking him seriously well, and he has a short temper. Though he presents as a charming young man, he really does have this angry side that takes over sometimes.

Peeta first saw Katniss, when they were five on the first day of school. His father pointed out Katniss and said “See that little girl? I wanted to marry her mother, but she ran off with a coal miner.” Peeta goes on to say “And I said, ‘A coal miner? Why did she want a coal miner if she could’ve had you?’ And he said, ‘Because when he sings…even the birds stop to listen.’” Then Peeta says“So that day, in music assembly, the teacher asked who knew the valley song. Your hand shot right up in the air. She stood you up on a stool and had you sing it for us. And I swear, every bird outside the windows fell silent... And right when your song ended, I knew—just like your mother—I was a goner.” So his initial interest in Katniss came from his father once loving Katniss' mother. But as soon as she sang, he fell for her. He spent the rest of their years leading up to the Hunger Games trying to work up his nerve to talk to her, but failed. But he kept track of her, paid attention when his father talked about her hunting, paid attention to who was hanging out with her (when he notices Gale is around her a lot), and ends up burning bread to help her. This incident is very pivotal in showing how much he loves Katniss. He sees Katniss out in the rain, cold and skinny, digging through their trash for food. His mom yells at her. He burns bread on purpose, probably knowing he would get hit, and does indeed get hit for it. He's told to feed it to the pigs, and instead, he throws it to Katniss. This incident, combined with the moment where she sees him and sees a dandelion (and thinks of all the edible plants she can scavenge for to survive), cement 'the boy with the bread' and 'hope' together.

That's how he fell in love with her.

But he loves her for a lot of different reasons. He loves her bravery. She was so courageous to volunteer in place of her sister, and she was brave in the arena for both of them. He admires her kindness, such as when she teamed up with Rue or when she nurses him back to health in the first arena. He likes her guts, such as when she shoots an arrow at the pig or when she 'hangs Seneca Crane'. He admires the way she takes care of her family, how she's always looking out for her sister and her mother and how she hunts for their food and takes care of them. And he loves her capability to love, even after all she's been through. She loves her mother, her sister, Rue... maybe even him. To him, what they have is special. She's his friend no matter what, and no matter if she loves him, he will always love her.


First Person Sample:

Here are some links of previous stuff, same canon point!

selfless and charming

lying to manipulate people and being charming

Revision Request

[worthdisgracing]

[Beast has set herself up near the well, having hauled up a bucket and hauled it to a low, crumbling wall where she'd sat, exhausted, before she woodenly began to wash a mix of flour, soot, and scorch marks from her skin. Her eyes are red from crying, her hair singed at the tips- it looks like she narrowly escaped a fire of some sort.

But she scrubs until her skin is red, all except for her left leg, that she scrubs as if to scrape the skin right off, but doesn't- seeing as it's prosthetic, and despite her efforts there's a burn on the side that won't be so easily washed off.

Only then does she seem to give up, dropping the filthy rag back in to the bucket before fishing in her skirts to pull out the strange device she'd seen others use.

If anyone could hear it-]

I'm lookin' fer some people. A man, 'bout eleven 'r so stone, tall side, red hair, almos' purple eyes- e's got bones fer 'is 'and. A boy, lanky like, light brown 'air with a dark patch. A girl, blue eyed with chaff colored 'air, real friendly type. A righ' big fella, strong lookin', with a flame inked on 'is 'ead. An' a set a twins, boy 'n girl, short, with an Irish touch.

[Her accent is thick with Britain's lower class, and she fumbled a bit with the technology but.]

If'n ye catch sight a them... Tell 'em Beast is lookin'.

... Thanks.

[beato]

Before I write it - is it just a revised personality you're looking for, or would you like others rewritten?

Re: -> REVISE

[cattiest]

or do you just want a new canonpoint... Sorry I just need some clarification!

[blowfish]

Thank you so much!

Re: -> REVISE

[chainedbythepast]

I decided to make a new sample set in Haven this time.
---
There's really no books of any kind here...

[Once Kurapika accepted the odd surroundings he found himself in as something real, his first thought was, of course, to attempt at finding any kind of information about the place. He was told, even by his friends, that there wasn't anything to be found; but even so, he found that hard to believe.]

Someone is obviously bringing us here, and they can't be living in the same kind of dismal situation as we are forced to survive in. Even if there are no books about the area... documents, left-behind papers, something.

[But, like he was told, there really was nothing to find, even in the ruins of the schools. He sighs, reluctantly accepting that he wasted his time.]

...I can at least look for some supplies on the way back. It wouldn't be right to return empty-handed, or to leave this trip as entirely useless.

[Is it an effect of this city? The silence, the heavy feeling of emptiness... he didn't think he had a habit of speaking to himself, it must be to try and break the quiet up.]

I shouldn't get used to being alone, not here...

[Because, at least, he knows that he can trust those three completely. Whatever may happen here, or who may come to this city next, he has true friends to rely on... and they can rely on him in turn.]

Re: -> REVISE

[havenmods]

We would just like a revised canonpoint to the mainstream timeline, as we don't feel there is enough canon evidence to support an application from the alternate ones.
