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.

Sample Application (Faith Lehane)

Re: Nagisa Shiota | Assassination Classroom | Reserved
Canon: Assassination Classroom
Canon Point: chapter 81
Background/History:
General Series Information
Character Specific
Even though he's a main character, not a whole lot has been revealed about Nagisa's background and history beyond what we see of him in series at school. He lives at home with mostly his mother, who has been referred to as 'strict' though he seemingly has a decent relationship with her. His father is frequently traveling on business and when he does get the opportunity to spend time with his son they get along quite well.
Nagisa was originally able to test into Kunagigaoka Middle School, one of the top schools in the country. However, he wasn't able to keep up with his studies enough in the strict system, and his grades ended up falling enough that he was placed in the E as in 'End' class. Aka the class for all the people with the worst grades. They are stuck in a rickety old school house far from the school's main campus and not only are they severely bullied by the other classes, it's encouraged by faculty.
Of course secretly E class is also being trained BY assassins to become assassins. Together they have faced AI programs, professional hitmen, crazy military members and artificially created super creatures. One of which is their teacher. The same teacher who destroyed 70% of the moon and threatens to destroy the earth by the time the class graduates unless someone can kill him first.
It's not that easy for a middle school student, even a whole class of them, to assassinate a super being. So a professional from the government, Karasuma, has been instructing the class in marksmanship, knife fighting, free running and a variety of other skills that any proper hitman would need to know.
Personality:
Nagisa has three goals he would like to achieve. First is the befriend each of his classmates. Second is to live a life without regret. Third is to assassinate his teacher. While one of these things is clearly not like that others, all three are very key traits to his character.
Generally he's a friendly young man who is easy to get along with. He genuinely wants to be close to his classmates, and is willing to give even the jerks and the assholes second and even third or more chances. This only extends to Class E though. If someone from another class were to threaten or mock either him or a classmate, well let's just say he can assist in creating some truly devious revenges (for instance he was involved in helping get back at his classmate's super bitch of an ex. He distracted her and her new boyfriend while another classmate slipped the 'Victoria Falls' laxative in their drinks). He's not also above casually making threatening statements to bullies to get them to stand down.
That's not the end to a bit of a sadistic streak Nagisa exhibits from time to time. He does enjoy teasing and is absolutely not above blackmail. In fact gathering information and observing (or just rifling through someone's desk) is a bit of a specialty of his. He's pretty much the go to guy whenever someone's looking for information on their target's weaknesses as he usually keeps detailed notes of anything he thinks may be important.
He's somewhat quiet when compared to some of his more outspoken classmates. This isn't to say he's SHY. He's never really nervous around people, even strangers, and has no problem telling friend and foe alike precisely what is on his mind. He's just more subdued. He's not prone to loud outbursts and never brags. He simply says what is necessary.
He's also relatively chill and out of the whole class he seems to have the fewest hangups about being in class E. He acknowledges that, yeah, the E as in End class isn't exactly the best thing, but there's really no way to go back and change what's in the past. He's determined to just keep on doing what he's doing the best he can, and live for the future. He's also very relaxed around pretty much every personality type. One of his best friends that he's known for at least three years is a violent and aggressive student named Karma. While Karma's excessively extreme assassination attempts and desire to kill a teach, any teacher, shock and alarm the class, Nagisa treats it as if it's the most normal thing in the world.
This is the first hint that Nagisa isn't completely... normal. Unlike other students he never shows hesitation when attempting an assassination. In his own words he approaches his target just as normally as if he was walking to school. Which is a good thing as secretly he has a lot of bloodlust and an overpowering killing intent. His ability to completely hide this up until the very second he needs to strike frightens even professional assassins and military personal. He even feels completely comfortable wielding real weapons against a real opponent or the first time when it's pointed out that even most grown men will get nervous or freaked out the first time they're put in that sort of situation.
He's also shown that he's very capable of killing someone very easily in the right circumstances, and one point it took someone actually yelling at him that he shouldn't become a murderer when they have a more important assassination to do (their teacher Korosensei that is). Even his goal in helping assassinate Korosensei isn't exactly the 10 billion yen reward that's being offered. He wants to assassinate him simply because he believes it's something he will eventually be entirely capable of doing.
It's a little unclear as to why or how Nagisa is this way. Only a few glimpses of the extent of his bloodlust has been shown. He's not a sociopath as he has honest and warm relationships and cares a whole lot about others. His homelife and upbringing are still mostly unknown but nothing has been mentioned yet that hints at some sort of dark and troubled past. A few of the teachers seem to just see Nagisa as having the perfect sort of personalty for an assassin but explanations beyond that have not been made yet.
