havenmods | 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 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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Abilities/Powers:
Rika's only real ability is that she's able to remember everything from the different fragments of Hinamizawa she's lived through, which is only possible with Hanyuu's power to reset time.

Items/Weapons:
-an extra set of clothes (her school uniform)
-photo of her friends taken during club activities

Sample Entry:
[It takes a few moments, but Rika manages to get the video working right and angled towards her. When she appears onscreen, there’s a slightly concerned look on her face.] Mii… I’m not sure where I am. This device is supposed to transmit video to others so that means I shouldn’t be the only one here, right?

[She knows there’s the possibility that she’s just talking to herself and that there’s no one out there listening, but it’s worth a shot either way.] I think I should start with introducing myself first.

[Rika adjusts the phone so that more of her face is visible.] My name is Rika Furude, and I’m from a small village named Hinamizawa. It’s very different from this place. [She pauses, and smiles.] It’s nice to meet you. Hopefully we can work together and find a way back home. [Satisfied with her message, she shuts off the feed.]

Sample Entry Two:
The desolate nature of Haven was such a stark contrast to Hinamizawa, and Rika wasn't sure it would ever be something she would get used to. The lack of life in the town was disconcerting, and the dilapidated state of most of the buildings even more so. Yet that didn't stop Rika from making her way into the abandoned elementary school, being careful to avoid any dangerous spots.

It'd been a few days already, and Rika was already restless. She was itching to go back home, back to Hinamizawa and every time she closed her eyes she hoped that she'd wake up to the familiar sound of cicadas. The memories of the last fragment were still fresh in her mind, and Rika was determined to find a way back so that the feelings lingering behind those memories would still be strong enough to give her the strength to push through and finally reach her good end.

Rika ran her fingers idly along one of the surface of one of the desks still standing, as she wondered what the school was like before it was abandoned. Her mind briefly wandered back to Hinamizawa, and the school there, which was much smaller than the one she was in now. The thought of her friends waiting back home sent a new wave of determination through her and she took one last look around the room, taking in every detail and making sure she didn't miss any important clues that may help take her back home. Unable to find anything else, she sighed, making her way outside and to her next destination—the middle school. Although she would probably yield the same results (which were a whopping nothing), it was still worth a try. After all, after everything she went through in the last fragment, she wasn't going to just sit back and accept her fate this time, not anymore.

Thank you for applying to Haven.
Your application is in the queue and will be processed on 22nd November.
