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.

To see what we are looking for:
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:

In terms of powers, Sonia has nothing supernatural to her name. In Dangan Ronpa (and Super Dangan Ronpa 2) students of Hope's Peak Academy are accepted based upon their talents, and receive Super High School Level titles in accordance with said talents. Sonia's talent is that of the Super High School Level Princess, which (as I've gone over in the previous section) is due to the fact that she is a Princess. As far as this talent goes in practice, she seems to be capable of speaking in an unintentionally authoritative tone (typically accompanied by this pose) which tends to make her classmates snap to attention and occasionally go along with her against their initial wills. At one point Hinata even finds himself nearly kneeling down before her when she dismisses him curtly due to a lack of sleep. This isn't a supernatural ability or anything - it's just Sonia's princess side showing through, the authority of someone of royal lineage used to behaving as such.

Outside of that, Sonia is apparently capable of reading and writing in at least thirty languages (and presumably speaking in them) and has a truly ridiculous knowledge of outdated Japanese dramas. Truly useful skills in Haven, where there's nothing to read, writing disappears, and everyone mysteriously speaks the same language. And, well, when is the Japanese drama thing ever going to benefit her?

Items/Weapons: Nothing outside of the clothes she was wearing during her time in the New World Program will be arriving with Sonia.
Sample Entry: Here you go! I also replied to one of the more horror action-y prompts in this thread, if you required that.
Sample Entry Two:

Is this Jabberwock Island? That's the thought that flickers through Sonia's mind even as others coalesce and dissipate one after another, fleeting as she struggles to wake up. She's uncomfortable, an elbow in her side and people pressing against her. Wet - rain? And the ground, beneath her. If everything she'd known was true, then this couldn't be "waking up"...could it? It's hard to think about it critically as more information filters in. A few moments of struggling extract her from the tangle of people - some waking, some sleeping still - and she scoots backwards while still seated, before realizing that she's just getting dirt and muck all over her skirt.

More dirt all over her skirt, at least.

That mundane concern is what gets Sonia to her feet, and she ineffectually tries to brush herself off - nothing to be done here without better resources, Sonia. One of her hands hits something hard in her pocket, and she freezes. Student ID Card...? No, that's not it at all. Instead it's a cellphone, which she easily recognizes, although the model is rather out of date compared to her usual sort. "I do not believe this is mine..."

Though that wasn't the main thing to worry about. She could flick it open and attempt to ascertain the owner at a later date. For now, Sonia looks around, increasingly worried. Whether or not she "woke up" as she was meant to do - which she couldn't have, because she remembers everything about the island, and even if they'd promised to remember it wasn't supposed to be possible - whether or not that was true...there were people she'd been meant to see after they'd pressed those buttons together. The shock of waking up somewhere strange isn't what flips her into actual fear, although she's confused and worried from the start. Even waking up surrounded by strangers, and the ruined landscape around her...those things she could tolerate more than something that becomes increasingly apparent.

No matter how hard she looks at the people waking and sleeping still, she can't spot any of the other four students who ought to be with her.

No, no. Take a deep breath. And then another...so she couldn't see the others here, could she? That just meant that she would have to look for them, in..."Haven". The ominous undertones of that supposedly warm message on the billboard...it worried Sonia, but not half as much as finding the others did, at this point. The possibility that there was no one to find was there, but - no. Worrying about it until proving it one way or the other wouldn't do anyone any good. She'd just have to look around and see if she found anyone she'd misplaced, and if not...Well, nothing had changed in terms of what she had to do, right? She was still living on time bought for her by the others, the future they'd all created, good or bad. She couldn't possibly disrespect that. Sonia had already decided that much.

With a little nod to herself, that settled, Sonia set off - though she already knew she'd pause several times before this was through. It would hardly be good of her not to help the other people waking up - and anyway, maybe they knew something more than she did.
