Applications Two


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 [community profile] 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)

Here's a linked log.

And another sample;

The grass under him was cold, a bitter reminder of the world around him, the same freezing ice that ran through his veins also in the very ground of the planet. Dean knew he wouldn't be sad to see this world go, not even if he'd been trying to save it for the past five years. It's been a long fight -- a long, useless fight that they lost the moment Sam said yes.

Sam, the familiar face, is now looming above him, the white leather of his shoe pressing down on his neck and all Dean can do is look up at his once-little brother. Now it's Lucifer staring down at him, tugging his brother's lips into a twisted smirk that his Sammy would have never even been capable of. But Sam, just like the people who thought of him as their leader -- his friends -- is a lost cause. A sacrifice that this world had demanded.

Sacrifices, so many sacrifices. And this mission had lead to one of the biggest, and now he had to give himself a moment to...hope that Cas' death had been a quick one.

Dean saw himself, the past-him, stumble onto the scene, and knew his time was coming to an end. No words were needed, his past-self had to be able to see that this future was not something he wanted, that he should do everything in his power to not end up here, under Lucifer's mercy.

A snap-crack and the world goes black.

Death embraces him, like it has many times before, but instead of falling down into the pits of Hell where he belongs, Dean finds a weightlessness around him for a moment -- much like being transported by an angel -- and then his back is once again against something solid.

He waits for pain, the first slice of many under the hands of Hell's demons, but nothing happens. It's only after a bit that he blinks his eyes open, and finds that either this isn't Hell, or the place has gone through some serious renovation. A push off the ground -- his neck isn't broken, how is his neck not broken? -- and he's sitting up, the world around him foreign and very much not the place where he had fallen.

There's no curses, no shouts of surprise, only the dragging of his body as he gets up with a tense frame. A quick look to all sides -- no immediate enemies in sight -- and his hand goes to his thigh; a single gun strapped there having never been drawn when faced with Lucifer.

Death or a nightmare, if there's something lurking in the shadows, he'll be ready.
