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.

Original Characters:
Sample Application (Mors)

Nia is essentially the physical embodiment of optimism and trust. She is an incredibly cheerful and sweet young girl who has everyone’s best interest in mind. She does what she can to help others and to make them happy, even if it can sometimes backfire and end up hurting them. Despite that, she always has good intentions, and never seeks out to hurt others in any way (the only exception being Guame, who she slapped in a moment of horror and disgust). She reacts sweetly and politely to pretty much any person. It seems that unless a person is trying to hurt her or is screaming at her, she will most likely react with a smile on her face, she is just that kind of person. She sees the best in others, and views practically any situation in an optimistic way.
She comes from a very sheltered life, being kept away from the outside world and only taught specific things. Because of this, she is extremely naïve. Even after her time with Team Dai-Gurren, there is still much she doesn’t know about the world or the people in it, and it is evident by the many questions she can ask. From certain items and customs to phrases and speech, there are many things she still hasn’t learned. She even has a hard time picking up on certain tones unless they are 100% obvious. That being said, she loves to talk to others and learn about these unknown aspects of life, and doesn’t seem to be too scared of the unknown. In fact, during her first moments out of the palace, she encounters a very menacing gunman, but she doesn’t seem very scared of it, even after Simon’s panicked reaction.
A great trait to couple with her amazing naivety is her incredible ability to trust practically anyone. She puts huge amounts of faith into people, and sometimes it can backfire on her. Before being cast out of the Palace, Nia trusted those she came into contact with, but especially her father. She later admits that her father was pretty much “her entire life”, but he only ended up hurting her. As time goes on, though, she makes better judgment calls with Team Dai-Gurren. While Simon is the one she trusts the most, she also places her safety in the hands of others, Yoko being another major case. As she aimed a rifle at Nia’s head, Nia knew to trust her and her skills as an expert, even with bullets passing just inches from her ears. She has an unshakeable belief in her friends, and trusts them with every fiber of her being. Whether it is with lethal weapons pointed at her, being pulled to the bottom of the ocean, or laid beaten in the dirt, she has no trouble being calm in the face of danger, because she knows she can count on her friends to pull through.
She can be very brave, and also very reckless. She does not hesitate to jump into the fray if she feels it is necessary, going out on her own to confront the hell bent Adiane not only once, but twice. She also put herself in danger by going with Simon to confront Lordgenome, but her desire to confront her father seemed to put any fear away. Her bravery can also be connected to her trust. As she was confronted by Guame with a gun pushed to her face, she sternly spoke of her trust in Simon without a single quiver in her voice. There were times when she knew she could not go out herself, but quick and witty thinking allowed her to help out as much as she could, and she used such thinking to save countless lives during a battle with Guame, using a large projection system to put “herself” on the front lines and ask people to calm themselves as people were blindly running into a death trap.
If Team Dai-Gurren had a cheerleader, Nia would be it. She loves her friends and will fight with and for them until her very last breath, all with a smile on her face.
Abilities/Powers: While (spoilers) Nia is actually a Very Important Person with Very Important Powers, said powers are not yet a thing. Nia currently has no supernatural abilities.
Items/Weapons: Her Team Dai Gurren hoodie, and a green gem given to her by Simon.

[[ there seems to be a very happy looking young girl on the feed. it's a close-up of her smiling face and rather large (and oddly colored) eyes as she tries to, with little success, prop the phone up. after a few fumbles, she gives up, opting to hold the phone out in front of her instead. ]] Ah, hello, everyone! Good day to you! [[ she does a small curtsy to the camera, although most of the action is below the frame and remains unseen. ]]
I hope you are all doing well. I wanted to let you all know I found something nice! [[ she pauses, leaning over to grab something. it's a CD! and, since nia is pointing it the wrong way, it's easy to tell it's not scratched beyond repair. ]] I believe this is one of those discs that play music, yes? I do not have the device that makes it play, but if any of you have one, I would be happy to share this with you!
I'm sure it will be a very fun time. Please, do let me know if you wish to partake! [[ and she beams, as if listening to classical music with others is her idea of a super fun time and she just can not wait to do it! ]]
Sample Entry Two:
Nia wasn't very happy with the lack of food in Haven. Cooking was something she enjoyed very much: it was her job, after all! And it was a hobby she adored. She understood there wasn't much she could do about it, and she was thankful for the food she could find to sustain herself, but the itch to cook something was getting her nerves up a little.
And what added insult to injury was the fact she found cooking equipment. Granted, it was only one very beaten and rusty pan, but it was something! And she couldn't use it at all! She wanted to make meals for all the lovely people that had helped her during her time there. There wasn't a lot Nia could do, but she could cook, and it was bothersome to her to not be able to repay others' kindness and good deeds in the way she knew best. The woes of being a (terrible) cook in the middle of a land of rubble and cans of "spam" and unfamiliar beans.
"I will find something else to do for them...!" she speaks to herself, but she carries a tone of confidence and reassurance that should generally be reserved for cheering up other people. But, that's not how Nia rolls, so her small, one-person pep talk continues, "There must be something else I can do. I just have to find it, first!"
