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.

Lucy Heartfilia | Fairy Tail || Reserved
Contact Info: mikanhime @ gmail.com || EnchantingElle @ Plurk || BlueAquaPride (AIM)
Other Characters Played: N/A yet
Preferred Apartment: None
Character Name: Lucy Heartfilia
Canon: Fairy Tail
Canon Point: Post Eclipse Arc
Background/History: History
Personality:
At the core, Lucy is a happy, perky, compassionate young woman with a bright outlook on the world. When she makes a decision, she sticks by it - for example, when she chose to run away from home to join Fairy Tail. Despite that it was hard to get by, financially, she had her pride in herself not to turn around and run back home to her father - who she hated at the time. While the rest of her teammates - Gray, Natsu and Erza - can be considered the strength of the team, she and Happy are more akin to the heart of the team. Her heart is the strongest her part of herself, and is key to reaching her celestial spirits, especially when they are being used against her. Her heart is pure and her spirit shines with a light that has touched all but the most dark of souls. She has a strong resolve, as mentioned, for when she makes a decision she stands by it, whether it's running away to make her way as a celestial mage in the guild, or sacrificing her own life for the happiness of her friends, be they guildmates or her celestial spirits. Despite her fear of situations that are incredibly dangerous, she will put herself into even more dangerous situation for her friends, whether it is throwing herself out of a tower on the belief that her friend is there to catch her, or jumping out of a speeding roller coaster car to get to one below in order to save that same friend. She's a normal girl thrown into abnormal situations, and she copes with it as best she can - she's allowed to be a little frightened from time to time.
She's far weaker - physically - than the rest of her companions, and certainly isn't as combat capable as the others. If she's alone, or just with Happy, she tries to avoid a fight, unless she has no choice in the matter. She is often used in the damsel role, kidnapped because she is considered the weakness, and can be used against the stronger of her companions. She is ultimately a young lady, albeit one who - despite her attractive appearance - has not had any luck in love. Most of this is probably due to her sheltered upbringing; she's never had a boyfriend, and as such, doesn't really know how to deal with guys that might like her -that- way. This is totally different from being hit on by perverts, as she can handle herself perfectly well with them. But when it comes to someone she genuinely likes - she tends to get extremely nervous and defaults to avoiding the issue as much as possible. As cute as she believes herself to be, she's inexperienced when it comes to her own sex appeal, and often fails at seducing the opposite sex as a battle strategy. When this happens, she tends to take it hard, as she is more than a little vain, and will be extremely offended if someone tells her she's ugly. She also gets annoyed when someone - particularly Aquarius, who has a steady relationship - points out her lack of a boyfriend.
Despite her strength, emotional and mental, she actually has doubts about her usefulness in battle, and considers herself as weak. In comparison to her teammates, Gray, Erza, and Natsu, this isn't exactly ... -wrong-. But those three are strong on a whole other level, and she had a different kind of strength. She tends to second guess herself when it comes to fighting stronger people, and it often takes being pushed into a corner for her to dip into her true strength and overcome obstacles.
That being said, she wants to keep getting stronger as a celestial wizard so that she'll still be of use to her teammates and loved ones. It isn't just her human friends she wants to protect, but her celestial spirits. Although many of them have had owners who consider them weapons or shields, rather than sentient beings with their own personalities and feelings, Lucy thinks otherwise and trains to be just as strong a celestial mage to be able to deepen the bond between wizard and spirit.
Lucy values her friendships with her companions above all else. She cares deeply for her friends, and will push herself to her limit for them. Even if she faces an enemy stronger than herself, that she may even have no ability to fight and win against, she will still do her very best to fight and protect the people she cares about. Her friends are her family, and she will even stand against her blood family if they dare do anything to cause harm to her dear guild friends.
Lucy has a very clear idea of what is right and what is wrong - as mentioned, her bond with her friends is the most important thing to her. Someone trying to pervert that, or who mistreats their own allies, is something that sickens her. She tends to be a bit naive as far as how the world works - while her own guild values its members, being confronted with other guilds who have more selfish and self serving interests is a shock to her. Despite her weakness in comparison to people like this, who are stronger than she is, she has no problem speaking out against their behavior.
One of her most notable mannerisms is the way she clenches her fist when she needs to draw on her inner strength - the same fist that has her Fairy Tail mark stamped on the back. When she's being earnest, she tends to pull that same fist to her chest and gesture with her free hand to make her point. Her face tends to be very expressive as well - in particular when she's irritated; certain people have a habit of bringing that - along with her irrated reaction of smacking people when they're being stupid - out of her.
Abilities/Powers:
Celestial Spirit Magic : As a celestial spirit wizard, Lucy is capable of summoning spirits of varying power levels and duties through her inhereted ability. She summons these spirits by using keys to channel the magic through her body and into the physical world. There are two types of keys that can be used to summon spirits - the gold keys that summon spirits of the zodiac, and the eclectic silver keys. Some of her spirits have conditions that must be fulfilled before they can be summoned. For example, some spirits can be summoned a limited number of days, or only near water. (Recently however, certain spirits have begun summoning themselves independently of Lucy's requests to help her). Some spirits who she has a close bond with, she can summon without needing the key at all - and with her magic strength, she can summon up to five Eclectic (Gold Key) spirits (thougn only two all at once) until she is exhausted. She is also capable of forcing the spirit gate closed, though it often has to be mutually agreed upon by both wizard and spirit. Other times it is used if one of her Spirits were possessed and forced to attack her, allowing Lucy to remove them from battle without harming them. It should be known that while her spirits are all strong in their own right, they are by no means all powerful. Their time in the mortal plane tends to be limited and depending entirely on Lucy's own magic reserves, and if their body is damaged or destroyed, they have to return to the Spirit world to heal for a while before she can resummon them. She currently has 10 Gold keys and 5 silver keys, giving her contracts with:
Ecliptic Spirits (Gold Keys)
(1) Aquarius - a mermaid spirit who can control water, creating powerful waves which can sweep away large amounts of foes (and usually Lucy and her allies too); She can only be summoned around water of any amount, be it an ocean, sewer water or even a puddle. Though uh, Aquarius strongly dislikes being summoned from dirty water.
(2) Taurus - a powerful humanoid cow spirit meant for melee fighting (though he has a bit of a lecherous personality towards Lucy and most attractive women); He doesn't have particular abilities, though he is her strongest melee fighter next to Loke, and wields a double edged axe. Notes: Anyone strong enough can wield the axe, but the second he is desummoned, the axe vanishes too.
(3) Cancer - a spirit often used for hairstyling, though he is capable of cutting through a number of things, as his weapon is a pair of scissors. And has a tendency to end his sentences with ebi (shrimp) rather than kani (crab) unless Erza is around, when he ends his sentences with choki (snip) per her suggestion; No specific abilities, but he can cut through many types of metal.
(4) Saggitarius - a human male spirit in a horse costume, master archer; He is capable of finding the weak point in a thing that can make it explode (to a point! He's just an exceptional archer)
(5) Virgo - a maid spirit who can change her appearance, and specializes in underground combat - ....and has a bit of a s&m fetish; She is capable of being really really weird -- and is known to have earth magic attacks, most of which rely on digging tunnels.
(6) Loke - the leader of the Zodiac spirits, and her best melee spirit after Taurus; No truly special abilities besides being a combat expert
(7) Gemini - a pair of spirits capable of cloning up to one other person (having already cloned Lucy) - whoever they copy has access to that person's memories and abilities. (If they clone more than two people, the oldest imprint is erased); Abilities here
(8) Aries - a very fluffy and timid half girl/half ram spirit. Her attacks are more ... soft than destructive, but whatever works, right? Soft meaning she uses fluffy wool to fight - it's surprisingly effective!
(9) Scorpio - A very polite half man/half ...gun spirit with sand attacks. He has a tendency to say 'we are' at the beginning of his sentences.
(10) Capricorn - Deferential half goat-half man spirit who is dressed like a butler might be dressed in a black suit - he considers himself servant to Lucy's family and has swoorn to protect Lucy. He's a melee fighter - and he also helps train her and looks after her health.
Silver Keys
(1) Crux - A cross shaped elderly spirit who thus far, has no combat properties. He only is capable of searching for information on other celestial spirits and their owners.
(2) Nikora - also known as Plue, is a dog spirit but isn't really a combat type of spirit, more of a companion to low level mages;
(3) Horologium - A spirit in the shape of a grandfather clock - does not have any combat abilities, but he can protect whoever is inside him with his body, and has he's been known to rescue someone only once due to emergencies without being automatically summoned.
(4) Lyra - A perky female spirit with no combat abilities - she is meant only for entertainment as she is a very accomplished singer and musician that plays the lyre.
(5) Pyxis - A chubby bird spirit who acts as a compass - when regular compass' are rendered useless, Pyxis is able to use his abilities without any difficulties.
Unison Raid: A spell which allows two Mages to unite their Magic into a single, combined and stronger attack. This is a rare ability and not something use lightly as it takes up a lot of magical energy. Further, the abilities of the two involved have to be compatible.
Resilient: Despite her insistence that she is a poor fighter, she is extremely resilient, capable of withstanding abuse from sadistic enemies, suffering a barrage of kicks, being hurled into buildings and trees. She is also a very intelligent and intuitive mage, spending a lot of her free time reading and solving word puzzles and riddles.
Items/Weapons: Her spirit keys, her whip the "River of Stars" (an extendable whip given to her by Virgo. When not being used, only the handle is seen, however when extended, a jet of flowing water is created from the handle, which remains compact, and acts like the rope part of the whip. Despite being water, it is capable of grabbing foes or objects with it, as well as attack.)
Sample Entry: Network Post
Sample Entry Two: Loggeth AND
Bonus Sample Entry!
When she first came to her senses in Haven, she thought it must have been a part of the city that the dragons devastated. But then she quickly realized that couldn't be possible. Nothing was familiar - she could write off the lack of animals as having been caught in the crossfire or scared off. She couldn't write off the lack of familiar faces. In fact, the very last minute she remembered was wrapping her arms around Natsu and just being... so god damned happy he was alive.
She remembered the tears she had when the fight was over - what her future self had gone through and the thought of losing Natsu - ANY of her friends, was worse than anything she'd experienced. It was no surprise that her future self would have risked so much to go back into the past and try to change things so that her entire guild wouldn't get wiped out - didn't Rogue say it clearly? She would always close the gate of the Eclipse so that "he" would live.
But this place was so dreary and gloomy - wherever she was, what could possibly have happened to make it like this? The wizard shook her head, putting her hand at her side, where her keys were, making sure they were close by. They were such an important part of her by now, she knew she would be in a frenzy if she lost them. She shook her head, not wanting to spend all her time woolgathering. First and foremost, she needed to look around and gather information.
OOC: As an alternative if the she can't use the keys, as an alternative would she be able to summon the spirits directly through herself rather than channeling it, (though the cost might be more draining on her?)
