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)

Abilities/Powers: Gerome starts off as a Wyvern Rider when recruited, but given the choice of classing him to the Wyvern Lord class when the opportunity rises. Which is where he stands at the moment. Wyvern Lords are flying units that have higher HP, Strength, and Defense stats, despite their Skill, Speed, and Resistance disadvantage when compared to its Falcon Knight counterparts. They also originate from Wyvern Riders. Wyvern Lords, like other flying classes, are weak against Bows and Wind Magic. Other class abilities can be gained through reclassing or inheriting from his parents. Also he can sew like his mother and be able to understand Minerva's feelings through the sound of her shrieks.
CLASS SKILLS;
RESISTANCE +2 ➣ Increases the user's Resistance by 2.
TANTIVY ➣ Increases the user's Hit and Evasion by 10 if no allies are within a 3 tile radius.
QUICK BURN ➣ Increases Hit and Evasion by 15 at the start of every battle. The effect decreases with each passing Turn.
SWORDBREAKER ➣ Increases the user's Hit Rate and Evasion by 50% when the enemy is equipped with a Sword.
LETHALITY ➣ Allows the user to instantly kill a selected enemy unit. This skill is ineffective against certain characters. This skill is prioritized first over all other skill-activated skills. This is likely because it is the least likely to occur, and the most devastating if activated.

Wyvern: Minerva is your basic wyvern, she isn't as large as dragons can get or even Manakete, but she is decent in size that she's larger than a pegasus and able to be ridden on. While she is capable of flight, breathing fire, and as well as biting and scratching; her basic involvement with Gerome, who is a Wyvern Lord, is that she gives him more movement on the battlefield. Basically the same way a Cavalier uses a horse. She only allows him the extra movement that can be brought through flight, otherwise all the battling is done by Gerome alone.

That isn't to say she won't bite someone or scratch someone if they do something that she doesn't like, as seen with biting Inigo because a friend in her eyes is talking bad about himself. She's a sweetheart and usually always at Gerome's command so she won't be attacking anybody-- unless they attack Gerome, that is.

Items/Weapons:
• silver axe
• brave lance
• hammer

Sample Entry: threads done in a musebox and some in game!
Sample Entry Two:

Here the young Wyvern rider stands off to the side as per usual of his regular routine. Watching from afar, or in the shadows, while everyone busied themselves with activities or with each other's company in conversation. Gerome continues to watch silently before he turns on the spot and leaves the scene behind him. No matter what he was not the kind of person to absorb himself in such events. Even when Robin or Lucina would try to have him come join them in their meeting discussions. Chances to see if he had any inputs he could share. However, he wasn't a leader or tactician, so for what reason would they need him? Right, because everyone's input was valuable. He was better off alone, he wouldn't have anything to share. Besides, he didn't need to get involved too much into these peoples' lives.

As he moves to the far end of the camp, he comes to a stop upon hearing the sound of wings flapping briefly. That is before he sees in the distance a familiar wyvern stretching out her body from her afternoon nap. She gives a loud shriek once she spots him, anything but welcoming to anyone's ears and yet it was the very sound of greeting to his own hearing. A smile shows, making his way over with hands holding out as she places her jaw in them with a purring growl. A hand strokes the long narrow snout while he peers onto her fondly, tilting his head. "You look ready for your evening flight, shall we go Minerva? Then we'll get you cleaned up and ready for tomorrow." The wyvern gives a cry of agreement and joy, eager to go and shows as much with the way her wings flap in notion. So, he pushes up onto her saddle as she drops down to give him room to climb up. Grasping onto the reins, he then turns and without so much a word to anyone in the camp, they both take to the skies.

Of course someone is bound to see the shadow of the wyvern as she makes a half circle and flies overhead and out in a clearer direction. This way no one would be able to follow him, other than his Mo- ..Cherche, and her own Minerva, but the two were incredibly busy with their own activities. Not that he bothered trying to spend any time with her. A sound emits form Minerva as they continue their flight, but Gerome can only stare down at her with slight confusion- did she sound angry? Or was she sad? Perhaps she was upset with him. Of course in truth she was worried, but he attempts to calm the wyvern with a reassuring pet on her neck. Despite her surprising him sometimes, such as not eating father because of her family bond she felt towards him, she still listened to him usually. The fact she was stayed with him all this time meant a lot to him. Without her.. well, what reason would he have to be here?

A sudden bump in flight and he tightens his grip, peering back to the wyvern, "..Sorry, over-thinking will only get us in trouble. Should we head back home?" The wyvern seems to like the sound of those words, not 'camp' but home. He hadn't forgotten his wishes he had for Minerva. Now wasn't the time, but perhaps after this war he will be able to bring her back to the valley and allow her to roam freely with other of her kind. Surrounding herself with familiarity and being able to call that home. Gerome would of course cut his ties, he could be happy with just the company of her. It was what he had planned form the start, why would it be any different now? That is- if they can stop this mess from ever happening. If possible.

( ooc; Just like all the other FE:A kids, Gerome can have different fathers so to be frank: Gerome will be coming from female Robin's timeline, in which his parents are both Cherche and Lon'qu. )

Note: There is a small discrepency regarding Gerome's family. As you have stated in the application that Gerome's sister is Morgan, his father should be Male Robin, and not Lon'qu.

GAH sorry for the confusion!! I was more or less using the support as a reference to show more to his personality. officially in this case though he isn't part of male Robin/female Morgan's family. again, sorry for the confusion o/;
