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:

Allen Walker | D. Gray-Man | Reserved

Sample Entry:
[he's turning the phone over in his hands, puzzled, when it activates, showing first the ceiling, and then his face -- surrounded by white hair like an old man's, the left side of his face etched with an elaborate scar. he turns it around again before realizing it's broadcasting, and turns it back to face him]

[with supreme patience]

Look, I understand that you're all very embarrassed by the sound hustling I've given you. For an organization like yours, it must seem like quite the insult, and I'm sure you have all sorts of elaborate revenge schemes worked out, but...

Really? Kidnapping, and -- now some psychological game? I hate to have to tell you, but I really haven't the time for playing with amateurs when there are so many more qualified applicants lined up.

Now, seeing as how I'm busy and don't want to have to hurt anyone, can you please return me to where I was?

[and then, smaller] Please? [because there is a large part of him worried that this might not be some mafia hijinx]


Sample Entry Two:
Allen stepped out of the door, drawing his thin coat tighter around himself, and lifted his gaze to the town. Everything around him was unfamiliar -- storefronts and streets that were all recognizable, but their shapes and appearances were strange.

There was no way this was anywhere near where he had been. He was far away now, who could say how far, and worse still... This was a ghost town, abandoned and eerie, more lonely than anyplace he'd been in for a long time. It was just him, and his thoughts, and the silence, and whoever and whatever was in his head with him.

He lifted a hand to rub at his eyes. "I'm fine," he told himself, not for the first time, tamping down on the well of anxiety and fear and doubt that thought dragged up with it. He couldn't afford those emotions; they had weakened him before, and he had to stay strong until he could learn what was important.

Even if he had no leads here and no way to follow them. His progress was completely halted. All he could do was continue to fight against the thing inside him, even though he had been told over and over that his loss was inevitable.

He was trapped in every conceivable way, and even thinking about it would only tighten the trap around him.
