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.

Uzume | Itsuwaribito Utsuho | re-app | not reserved
Contact Info:
Other Characters Played: Izumo no Takeru (
Requested apartment: the same block as Chouza, please. preferably not the same apartment though.
(reusing most of the old app, if that's okay.)
Character Name: Uzume
Canon: Itsuwaribito Utsuho
Canon Point: End of volume 8, plus his old Haven memories.
Background/History: Itsuwaribito Utsuho wikia | Uzume | character profile
Personality: Uzume is playful and has a bright personality, and most of the time, he can be seen smiling happily. He's easy to make happy, as he is quite the simple young man, but even for him, there are times when he gets upset. He's a person who is very honest about his feelings. When he's happy, everyone around him knows it, and when he's upset, it doesn't go unnoticed. But he's not honest with just his feelings, but his mind too. He will tell you anything, and he often tells people secrets he's supposed to keep on accident. An example of this is when Utsuho tells him that "I know what you're planning!", and he reacts in shock, revealing the entire plan in the process. It even surprised Utsuho, who is an itsuwaribito, how easy he was to trick.
While his personality is bright, his head is not. Uzume is, frankly put, very stupid. He is easy to fool, and will believe anything you say, no matter what it might be. He also likes using big words, and idioms, since Kuroha likes them, and he heard Kuroha speak them while he was being taught. The problem is, he uses them wrong, making people confused. He also says a lot of wrong words at times when it really should be quite easy to get it right. There are times when he says steep instead of speed, and plain spite instead of plain sight. This is because he was very late to learn how to speak, since he was treated like a monster, and monsters didn't speak after all.
Having been treated like a monster, as filth his entire life before, Uzume came to hate people, and think that they were only there to break. He hated everyone, and so he killed them. He didn't give them chances for them to get him to like them, because default was for them to try to stomp his heart to the ground. So before he gave them the chance to say anything, he killed them. He did however, find people who were kind to him, people he started to care for. Those people were Kuroha, Chouza and later on, Minamo. But thanks to the words of Utsuho, he starts to believe that he's worth more than he thought he was (which was nothing), and he starts to think a little better about himself. Utsuho's words starts to change his view on humans, though it is still in the very early stages of happening from the canon point he is taken.
Abilities/Powers: Other than being a strong fighter, none.
Items/Weapons: A Sansetsukon with a kama (sickle) attached. Agate drinking cup (one of the Kokonotsu). His clothes.
Sample Entry: Some threads from his former stay: One, two, three, four.
Sample Entry Two: The fight had been good. The enemy had talked mean about him, but that was something he was used to, and now that he finally knew that he was worth more than dirt, the words didn’t cut as deep anymore, though they still hurt.
Sitting in the shade of a tree, Uzume cleaned the kama on his Sansetsukon from leftover blood and grime of intestines. Next to him, Chouza was napping, Minamo resting by his side. Finishing his cleaning, he looked between the sleeping two and the lake positioned only meters away. A bright smile, bordering on a grin, makes its way onto his face, and he throws himself into the lake, fully clothed.
The water sprays over the sleeping two, and Uzume laughs at Chouza’s sputters and protests. He gives an amazed ‘oooh’ as Minamo, completely calm, states that she already knew that he would do that. The glare hidden by hair that Uzume just knew Chouza sent the kid just made Uzume laugh harder, and he fell backwards into the lake, as Chouza charged at him, complaining about how she could have warned him. Soon, they were in an all out water fight, splashing water and getting drenched to the bone. Even Minamo joined in, the water repelled by the fabric of her kimono.
Uzume heard Saiha call for them, and in front of him came Kuroha. “Hey, Kurohaaa! Come play with us!” A huge wave of water hit him from behind as he stopped to wave, and he stumbled forward. When he climbed up on his feet again, he grinned. “It’s fun!”
