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.

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

Original Characters:
Sample Application (Mors)
Sample Application (Vera de Barr)
Sample Application (Malkus Iverwelling)

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Abilities/Powers: As someone who has spent much of her life in a dangerous world where fighting was necessary to stay alive, it’s safe to say that Lucina is a skilled fighter who can hold her own. She is up to par with Chrom in terms of sword fighting skills and can even surpass him in a sword fight. In their support she actually throws the fight and lets him win so that they can continue fighting lessons. In the Future Past DLC she and Severa talk about her skills and Severa says “Ha! If they think the exalt's an easy target, they're in for a nasty surprise. You don't even need pegasus knights, do you? Not really.”

Lucina’s default class is a “lord” class but will be a “Great Lord” with the canon point I’m taking her from. A great lord is able to handle both swords and lances and by default Lucina holds up well in strength, speed and skill. And here are also the skills she is able to hold in game as a Great Lord and as Robin and Chrom's daughter;

Dual Strike+: Increases the trigger rate of Dual Strikes by 10%. So basically this would just mean she has a better chance at working together to defeat enemies with an ally more often.

Charm: Grants hit/avo +5 to all allies within three spaces. This would mean that anyone who’s in a close range of her would be able to avoid enemy attacks and have a better chance at hitting an enemy.

Aether: Use Sol and Luna in succession. (I’ll explain Sol and Luna first—Sol: Absorb HP equal to half damage dealt and Luna: Halve enemy def/res when attacking) So all in all this would mean that Lucina would be able to attack twice, her first attack allowing her to gain some health back as she attacked and her second would weaken the enemy as she attacked.

Ignis: Add half Mag or Str to the value. Essentially this just means that she would have a stronger attack.

Rightful King: Increases the trigger rate of the unit’s skills by 10%. Pretty much this means she just has a better chance at using the skills like Aether and Ignis more often.

Items/Weapons: (Parallel) Falchion, her butterfly mask and a rapier
Sample Entry: Musebox thread!
Sample Entry Two: It was late at night when Lucina woke in her tent in a cold sweat. The night was warm and silent, filled with nothing but the crackling of the fire outside and the insects around them. Lucina only heard her own heartbeat drumming loudly in her ears and felt nothing but a cold breeze wash over her. Her hand clutched at the sword that rested beside her bed, the feeling of Grima’s breath in her face and fear still gripping at her mind as she slowly returned from her nightmare.

Nightmares have never been foreign to Lucina. No, they came to her more often than not. And it was all of Grima. He haunted her memories and her thoughts, he followed her into her only what was supposed to be safe haven . But not even sleep could grant her peace anymore. It never could. Even when she lived in the very nightmare itself, sleep was never kind.

Lucina sat up slowly in her bed, running her fingers through her blue hair before resting her face in her hands. Over and over again, she would dream of her own time, her own world, and she would dream of her mistakes. She would dream of death, the very look in Grima’s eyes as he stared down at her when all hope seemed to be lost, she would dream of the fire that covered Ylisstol, and she would dream of Basilio, Emmeryn… and Chrom. Her mistakes repeated in her mind even with all the time that had passed, time had mocked her, weaved its way past her efforts to divert fate from its original course and proved her it was all for naught.

She took a deep, shaky breath, allowing the warm Ylissian air to fill her lungs before she turned her head to gaze over at Falchion, which lay beside her. Ylisse’s national treasure, her father’s memento, all she had left of the kind and strong exalt, the father from her own time. It was her own treasure. With a trembling hand, Lucina reached over and picked the sword up she had been clutching before, her fingers dancing on the red hilt before pulling it from its sheath. After a moment, her grip on it was strong and her blue eyes close, resting her forehead, still damp with sweat, against the cold blade. But she couldn’t lose faith.

She wouldn’t let Grima return. She wouldn’t let her father die. Not again.
