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 athaventest 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.

Canon Characters:
Sample Application (Faith Lehane)
Sample Application (Iroh)
Original Characters:
Sample Application (Mors)

Makoto Nanaya → BlazBlue ← Reserved
Contact Info:
Other Characters Played: None
Preferred Apartment: #4.002
Character Name: Makoto Nanaya
Canon: BlazBlue
Canon Point: Post-Continuum Shift EXTEND
Background/History: Makoto on the BlazBlue Wiki
Personality: First and foremost, Makoto is a beastkin. Beastkin aren't the most liked of all the species back home, so she has been subject to much teasing and harassment because of it. It most certainly bothers her when people make fun of her for what she is, but because of Noel and Tsubaki, she doesn't mind as much anymore. She flaunts what she is proudly, and she is nowhere near ashamed of it. She even dresses all skimpy-like with no regrets. However, she still doesn't like being made fun of for it, so it's a bit of a soft spot. It only makes her stronger, though.
Makoto is a bit of a goof, constantly acting silly and over-dramatic around her friends, and even making the simplest of things sound hundreds of times more epic (legendary chocolate, anyone?). She loves all of her friends, but most definitely loves Noel and Tsubaki the most. She would do anything to keep them safe, even if it meant attacking an old friend like Carl. She has even made an idle threat about protecting Noel to Iron Tager, who makes a T-Rex simply look large. She can be very friendly with people, and loves to be social and outgoing with her friends whenever she can. Because of that, Makoto really wishes that things back home could be like they used to be; simple and fun. Everything got so complicated back home, and Makoto abhors it, and she wants to work towards that.
Despite being shown as being a complete goof who makes a complete mess of her living quarters with a disinterest in learning much back in the Academy, Makoto is surprisingly perceptive and intelligent -- and definitely knows when to get completely serious. There's no other way she would be an officer in the Intelligence Department of the Novus Orbis Librarium. She knows much more than she lets on to people, and only gives grains of salt to people about her motives. Those motives happen to be more in sync with Sector Seven than with the NOL, which is a world without magic. Her primary example of it all was bringing a creature back to life with magic, even if it didn't want to come back to life. It simply bothers her. That's why she works as a spy for Sector Seven within the NOL.
She doesn't enjoy fighting, or at least fighting people that she knows or has known well in the past, but she will do it without questions if someone she cares about is in trouble, such as the case as attacking Carl to protect Tsubaki. You simply just don't mess with her close friends or face her fury. Tsubaki and Noel are like family to her. She even cares enough about Jin to tend to his wounds nonstop until he woke up, and try to bring him back to rest after he left. Like it was mentioned before, Makoto just wants things to be like they used to be. It's this pure willpower and love for her friends that even allow her to retain her identity when her soul is sucked into the Cauldron, a place where her soul should have disappeared and killed her. That love for her friends and those she truly cares for is more than enough to keep her alive and even end up returning her back to her world.
She also believes that people and other living things should be helped a little bit, just enough that it can go off and live its own life for itself. That way they don't become dependent on someone's help, and a helping hand is always a nice thing to give someone in need. Her belief of this comes from personal experience with the prejudice she experienced throughout her life, and how Noel and Tsubaki stood up for her and gave her that helping hand that let her squeeze out the poison from the discrimination, and live her own life.
Makoto also has a huge soft spot for cute things, such as Carl. She thinks Carl is adorable, and would instantly just grab him and hug him for quite awhile on sight. In fact, she probably treats cute things worse than Noel when she sees them. Not only that, but Makoto gets excited over the smallest of things sometimes, such as chocolate. She also loves all-you-can-eat buffets and chestnut parfaits, and playing lacrosse is a hobby of hers. Makoto is also apparently a fan of things such as mecha and video games.
Makoto Nanaya → BlazBlue ← Reserved
But that isn't what she uses, most of the time. She has a weapon to help out.
She fights using hand-to-hand combat mixed with her unnamed tonfas, which are actually a type of Ars Armagus (in other words, a magical device that helps those who can not use magic use it) that serve to increase and amplify her combat prowess and strength. Those tonfas are capable of feats that Makoto could not accomplish without them, allowing her to emit small ball-projectiles that she can punch at people, and project giant images of her fists from behind her that are just a solid as the real deal. They also allow her to charge the power of her blows, making them even stronger based on how long she charges each attack, which is a technique known as Impact.
Impact applies to most of her heavy punches and major attacks, adding a layer of power and destruction that wouldn't be found in her normally already beast-like strength. It allows her feats such as the aforementioned giant fist, slamming someone up in the air only to punch them back down with another energy-projected fist, and amplifying her strength enough to send an opponent flying into the sky and through the moon.
And she has enough control over her tail to use it as a weapon. Not that it'll hurt much. The thing is pretty damn fluffy.
Items/Weapons:
♦ Tonfas: Her Ars Armagus and weapon of choice.
Nothing else. There isn't a need for anything else to brought with her to Haven.

Sample Entry Two:
The sound of teeth grinding against each other was astounding. It echoed throughout the small, dark room that Makoto found herself in. Her sight locked on her objective, her eyes burned with a passion that no mortal man should have to witness. The determination on her countenance was so fierce that it may as well be the face of a lion cornering its prey. Brow furrowing, she pushed forward. The action was followed by the sound of machinery moving.
"Come on..."
She refused to suffer the same fate that was forced upon her time and time again. There was no way she would resign to losing this challenge. She had to be forceful, and she knew it. It was the only way. The determination on her face refused to falter as she pushed with great force once again. Losing isn't an option. It's never an option. Makoto's suddenly wandered to her friends, and how she would give her life to protect them. Their bonds were that strong. It was that kind of ferocity that made her so strong and so effective at whatever she applied herself to.
"Come on.... Come on, come on, come on! You can do this, Makoto! Go in strong!"
Pushing again, the machine strained for a mere second, and Makoto's face lit up. It was followed by a noise. A noise that Makoto knew all too well. Her fierce expression died out nearly instantaneously, her eyes looking as if they were hollow and full of defeat. She couldn't have... No... It was...
Game Over.
Unbelievable. She let herself get defeated by the game again, her hand limply resting on the joystick as she sighed in defeat. Having the will to win and succeed at any cost was fine and all, but it doesn't come close to actually knowing how to the play the game. With a pout, Makoto gently kicked the machine at the side before reaching into her pocket for more change. Giving up was never her style.
"... Uh oh, I spent my whole paycheck again."
