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: Steve was given a super soldier serum known to improve everything about a person. This means everything from his intellect to his physical abilities are heightened.

Most notably increased is his strength. He is able to bend metal, lift heavy object, throw strong punches, and so on. Rather than using something like a gun, he relies heavily on his combat skills. He's fast and agile, able to jump and climb with ease, as well as dodge and return attacks quickly. He's intelligent and able to plan strategically in the middle of stressful situations, as well as adapt and work with things he may not be familiar with. His senses are more heightened, allowing him to hone in on enemies quicker. He's more durable and is harder to injure. When he is injured, he's able to keep going for longer and heals faster than a normal person. His metabolism is higher than most people's, being stated as four times faster, meaning he has higher energy levels, but he also needs more food to keep him going and can't get drunk.

With his shield, he's able to throw it with great strength and speed to knock out enemies. He's very accurate with his throws, as he is with gun when he does use them. This shield is definitely not just a defensive item and is used to bash and knock aside enemies as he fights in close combat.

Items/Weapons: His shield: Steve has a shield made from vibranium and is the strongest metal on earth. It can withstand anything, from bullets to even Thor's hammer. It's completely vibration absorbent and light weight, but when hit by a hard blast, it takes strength to stay standing.

Dog-tags: Steve will have his WWII era dog-tags, but without any writing left on them.

File on Peggy Carter: The file of papers on Peggy Carter will all be completely blank, except for the picture of the young woman.

Sample Entry: Haven Test-Drive
Sample Entry Two:
Unfortunately, this wasn't the first time Steve woke up and found himself in a strange new world. He remembered all too well the panic he had felt, waking up and finding himself in the 21st century. It was only a matter of months ago, after all. If it wasn't for that, finding himself in Haven would have been all too shocking.

He knew the details, about where he was and that everyone here was trapped, but Steve wouldn't accept that. There had to be a way out of here. And if no one else could find it, maybe he could. It was a large burden to accept, but Steve wouldn't have any other way. He wanted to help everyone here. They had friends and family to return to. Sure, he had people he liked and cared about now, but his own happiness wasn't his priority. If he could get everyone else out and have to stay behind, he'd do just that in a heartbeat.

He was glad to have Thor there, though. While he wished his new friend wasn't trapped, he was grateful to have a familiar face and ally to work with. Together, maybe, just maybe, they could rescue the people here. And until they figured something out, protecting them from the daily dangers they faced would be his mission.
