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.

Abilities/Powers: The only ability that Maya possesses on her own is the Kurain Channeling Technique. To quote the Ace Attorney wiki, “When a Fey performs the Kurain Channeling Technique, her body transforms into a likeness of the person she channels. This change extends to her voice and physical appearance, although her hair and clothes remain the same. From this point, the channeled spirit takes control of the body and the medium loses consciousness and is unaware of anything the spirit does during the channeling. This unconsciousness is complete, unlike regular sleep in which people dream."

One limitation of the technique is that two people may not simultaneously channel the same spirit. However, one medium can "steal" a spirit from a less powerful medium, as well as prevent a less powerful medium from channeling a spirit by channeling it herself. A spirit medium can also only channel spirits if they are sufficiently "trained". It seems that medium training has a lot to do with concentrating and honing one's ability to focus. I the medium has neglected her training, she cannot summon any spirits. Maya runs into this problem in the first game, and she is unable to summon the spirit of her sister. However, by the third game, Maya is able to easily summon her sister's spirit. So, as long as she continues to pursue her training, she should not run into this problem.

Items/Weapons: Her spirit medium clothes, her magatama, a card that she doodled on

Sample Entry: E-Emergency! Emergency! Maya Fey here, reporting a class A problem! [the video feed comes up, and everyone is treated to a close up view of this young lady's face]

I just got here a few days ago, and I discovered a horrifying fact! Heck, I can't believe this isn't in the Haven welcome manual! Well... you know, the verbal welcome manual. Welcome speech? Yeah, that's more appropriate.

A-Anyway, I found out that there are no hamburgers here! [this is obviously T-R-A-G-I-C stuff that needs to be addressed immediately] I think it's high time that we organize some sort of potluck! I know all the good ingredients are up in, uh... Haven North. But still! There's gotta be something that we can do while the tunnels are caved in like this! Come on team, it's time to rally together for the American Dream! Who's with me?

Sample Entry Two: As she flips the video feature off, Maya raises her arms over her head and stretches. Well... that wasn't a complete failure, right? At least some people would come, and if everyone could eat together maybe they could take their minds off the worries that surround them. But, it wouldn't solve the problem. A small sight escapes her lips and her shoulders slump. This is all she can do, isn't it? Little things here and there to boost morale, but she can't really fight, can she?

She still couldn't quite believe that this place was real. Evil scientists, superheroes... it's all like something out of a comic book. And here she was, a spirit medium slash legal assistant in the middle of it all. What could she possibly do in a place like this.

No! No, no, no, that was no way to think. What would Sis do in a situation like this? She would keep learning and investigating until she found some ultra secret thing that overturned Yao and his whole group! What would Nick do? He would never give up, no matter what. Just thinking about them brought a smile to her face, and she raised her hands and patted her cheeks. "You can do this, Maya" she whispers. Just take everything one step at a time and then she'll be able to pull off a turnabout of her own!

A smile was already spreading over her face. Yeah... everything was going to be okay.
