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 [community profile] 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)

Yarne | Fire Emblem : Awakening | Not Reserved

Name: Melissa
Contact Info: melplayspersonal (DW journal) , Melcat33@aol.com (e-mail), KawaiiUsagi33 (AIM)
Other Characters Played: N/A
Requested apartment: N/A

Character Name: Yarne
Canon: Fire Emblem : Awakening
Canon Point: Post Paralogue 13
Background/History: Fire Emblem Wiki!
Personality: Being the last of your kind sucks, let’s just get that out of the way. As far as Yarne is concerned, his survival must come at all costs. He is constantly worried that someone or something will wipe him out, so it’s not too surprising to see him flee from battle when things get too tough. Often he’ll make excuses to prevent himself from entering battle. His self-confidence is very weak because of this. He knows running from battle and relying on the protection of others is pitiful, but at the same time he can’t force himself to be as strong or as brave as the others in the army. Many times, his self-loathing and his cowardice will go to battle in his head over what is the right thing to do.

As such, he hates it when he’s called out on his cowardice, because he knows they’re right. He will try to defend himself initially, seeing as it’s his duty to ensure the taguel race somehow lives, but this argument also sounds weak to his own big ears. He is very proud of his parents and of his race, right down to even thinking his species looks better than humans. As a result he doesn’t like being treated like an animal or a pet. He can also be a bit of a pessimist if things keep going the wrong way, and he wonders if he ‘deserves’ to be a taguel.

However, when push comes to shove, he can be a very strong and loyal fighter. He does care very deeply for the few friends he has, and he is willing to risk his life to save them. At times his guilt and fear go so extreme that they go backwards, in that he hates himself for his fear so deeply that it turns into defiance and he finds the will to fight, so he can better improve himself. He wants to become a better man, a better taguel and give the taguel line another reason to be proud. Sometimes he’ll try to train himself in order to become this way, though eventually his old fears will relapse, and he’ll practice hiding.


Abilities/Powers:
As a taguel, Yarne has the ability to transform into a giant rabbit-like monster. In this form, he is much stronger and faster. He can jump onto enemies and crush them with his body, or kick them with his massive foot. But the effects are temporary, and if the stone breaks, he can’t transform.

Items/Weapons: Beaststone (So he can transform), Elixir and Concoction. The latter two are simply drinks to restore health and energy.

Sample Entry: In which the heroic future children are so very mature.

Sample Entry Two: It was said in times of old that the taguel prayed to the moon for guidance. Yarne couldn’t sleep that night, and as a result he found himself outside of the tents, staring up at the same moon that no doubt his mother had stared at years ago. Did this bring her comfort? Did this ease her fears? He sat down on the ground, hugging his knees. He was old enough to know by now that praying did nothing. There were no gods or goddesses to save their world from the Fell Dragon Grima.

So he didn’t pray to the moon. He closed his eyes and thought of his mother, who would have licked his ears and told him to go back to bed. This was the image he prayed to, the only one who could give him the strength for the next day’s battle. His breathing evened out, and he smiled at the fond memory. Normally his fears would tell him that sleeping outside would be a death trap. Well, then, he wouldn’t sleep. He’d just close his eyes for a few minutes. The mother in the moon would watch over him.
