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.

Canon Characters:
Sample Application (Faith Lehane)
Sample Application (Iroh)
Original Characters:
Sample Application (Mors)
Sample Application (Vera de Barr)
Sample Application (Malkus Iverwelling)

Dying Will gives Tsuna a great boost in confidence. It also makes him faster, stronger, and more resilient. For example, even if he's beaten until his body can barely move, he will still get up and fight because the Dying Will Flame will push his body past its limits. Or despite its limits. The aftereffects are thoroughly felt once Dying Will is extinguished, sometimes incapacitating him.
The Sky Flame appropriately manifests as a small flame on his head and has many modes, and each mode is more controlled and powerful than the last. Tsuna has gone through all modes during the course of the series. These modes are unlocked when he is shot with the Dying Will Bullet or when he swallows the Dying Will Pills—or various combinations of both. He has a pair of mittens that turn into fighting gloves when he goes into Hyper Dying Will mode and with it, he can perform various attacks. His attacks are extremely powerful, sometimes dealing both fire and ice damage and often resulting in huge craters or damage to the surrounding environment. His gloves also allow him to fly and hover in the air because of the propulsion of the flames coming out of them.
⋙ His Hyper Intuition power is a part of his bloodline. Reborn describes it as the ability to "see through" others. In this case, "to see" means "to know instinctively" as well. Hyper Intuition allows him to sense danger. In the Kokuyo arc, it lets him see through Mukuro's illusion. It also instinctively leads him to strike directly at a nerve to paralyze his opponent. Hyper Intuition is not all-seeing, however, and Tsuna has been fooled a couple of times despite it.
⋙ He's short. And thin. He's gotten stronger since his training with Reborn, but without his Dying Will, he's probably still just above average when it comes to every day physical activities. He still can't do sports, even if he's really good at fighting with his Dying Will. It's said that the sports team he's on will lose. (And sure enough, they do.)
Despite that, he's tough like a weed. Even without his Dying Will, Tsuna gets beaten up all the time (usually by Reborn) and he still gets back up and walks around almost like nothing's wrong. Of course, he's in a lot of pain, yes, but he's only human! Give him a break. At least he's walking.
Items/Weapons:
⒉ X-Gloves (Vongola Gear): A pair of wool mittens that turn into red combat gloves. Combines with Tsuna's ring to form arm thrusters.
⒊ Ring of the Sky Version X: Twin rings linked by a chain. They were originally the Sky Vongola Ring and the Vongola Box Ring.
Sample Entry: ooc; both samples are from
GAH—COLD!!!
[He nearly jumps out of the bushes—or he tries. But he's so entangled in its thick stems that he only manages to free his arms and earn himself a brutal leg cramp. Ow, ow, ow….
When the pain fades, he finally notices his surroundings.]
… Eh? EH?? EH?!?!
[He looks around frantically. What the heck is going on here?! Just—just where is he…? Augh, why is it so cold?? How could there already be this much snow in Namimori when the sun was just out yesterday—
A second pile of snow distracts him from his thoughts and he starts, jerking violently. (And maybe he shrieks again, but no one's around to hear him anyway, so who cares!!) Something falls off his head with the force of his movements. Tsuna instinctively scrambles to catch it and almost fails because he's shivering so hard—okay, and also because he's clumsy as heck—but by some miracle, he does catch it.
… Huh? A phone…? K-kind of. PDA?? Maybe? Warily, Tsuna holds it away from him as if it were a bomb. B-because who knows, maybe it is a bomb!!
Huh. Wait a sec...
Sudden and strange new place. Weird new (??????) technology. Oh, god. REBORN, IS THIS YOUR DOING?! IT IS, ISN'T IT]
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY-------
[His cry echoes off the trees and snow, startling a few birds into flight.]
Augh, what now… Well… M-maybe I can use this thing to contact someone? That's why I have it, right??
[Why else would he randomly have such a thing anyway? He peers curiously at the device, examining it closely—well, as closely as he can while still holding it a foot away from his body.
After a few minutes of mumbling and shivering, he decides to use what he thinks is a touchscreen to write out a message. His hand shakes so much from the cold that his handwriting comes out practically illegible.]
[Written]
HELB
[He means to write "help" but welp, that sure didn't happen. His icon is in an equally sorry state. It shows his head and arms popping out of a bush. There's still a small pile of snow on his head, and he looks almost comically distressed, pathetic, and cold. Very cold.
He really, really, really hopes someone out there gets this message.]
Sample Entry Two:
"Augh, wha—ouch…!" He grits his teeth and blinks blearily, awake but in pain. His right shoulder throbs dully from where he'd landed on it. With his tremendous luck (sarcasm, ha…), he'll probably have one nasty bruise there to remember the occasion by.
A part of him thinks that it's okay; the fall wasn't bad; he's had worse. Especially from his own home tutor. Another part thinks oh, god, is he actually getting used to this mafia stuff? Darn that Reborn!
He hisses a breath and shakes his head, slowly climbing to his knees. No, no, nonono. He's not used to this at all. Falling out of a tree hurts! Who in the world is used to falling out of trees anyway—wait.
Tsuna blinks and looks up. Yes, trees. He squints. Maybe—no, they were definitely trees. So he's—he's in the woods? But, no, this doesn't make any sense.
"Where…" He stops. Then again, he reflects, it's happened before. Kind of. On the bright side, he didn't wake up in a strange coffin in the middle of the woods this time. Ten years into the future. This makes his situation now—dubiously—a big plus. (Okay, so he's not too sure about the not-the-future-yay part, but he's hoping. He's hoping.)
"Aha… I-I bet this is one of Reborn's training exercises," he mutters darkly, thinking of torture and shuddering in advance. And then shuddering again when he realizes he doesn’t have a shirt on. "EH??" he screeches, crossing his arms over his chest protectively. "Why am I naked?! What's going—oh, oh… Wait… Ah…"
Well, he still has his pants. This is good.
He fumbles around with one hand, patting down the frosted grassy area beside him as if doing so will make his shirt appear. Or make Reborn pop out. It's a sad day in the life of a regular ol' middle school student when a baby magically popping out of the ground is more likely than a shirt being found. But Tsuna finds himself with nothing more than a handful of wet grass and a bad feeling in his stomach. He doesn't exactly understand why though. The trees don't look dangerous. Yet. the more he studies them, however, the more dangerous they begin to appear. Like man-eating trees. Or boy-eating trees. He gulps and crosses his arms over his chest again, hunching into himself to ward off the cold and the nervousness.
Tsuna feels it then. A slight brush of something unfamiliar at his upper-arms. He stills. And then slowly, oh-so slowly, turns to look.
"H-hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii?! Why do I have wings?!"
—Oh. Oh, no. It figures this would happen the one time he wakes up in something other than a coffin.
"I don't believe this," he says, voice husky and faint with disbelief. "I'm finally dead, aren't I…"
