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.

Character Name: Jeane
Canon: No More Heroes
Canon Point: Endgame (her death).
Background/History: Game's wiki | Her wiki
Personality: Jeane is your typical condescending, provocative, evil-to-the-bone main antagonist of No More Heroes. Though she only appears for a short while, she also reveals her whole backstory to the protagonist, Travis, in literal fast-forward. The game itself fast-forwards through this part because, as fourth wall breaking Jeane explains beforehand, "that alone would jack up the age-rating of this game."

Suffering from a terrible past from her mother's suicide, to her father's sexual abuse, to a career of prostitution, Jeane has never had it easy. The world didn't spare her, and so she chose not to spare the one who ruined it all from the start - her father. Most people rehabilitate themselves after coming out as a victim of sexual harassment by going to therapy, trying to move on with their lives and forget about it, etc. etc. However, that isn't even close to what she did. Her vitriol and pure hate for "that bastard" was so strong that she killed him in cold blood along with his other wife right in front of their child - her half-brother and killer, the protagonist. This shows how psycho determined for vengeance she was, as well as how merciless she is in terms of fighting (a.k.a. she won't stop until her opponent is dead).

In a picture of young Jeane right after killing her father and stepmother(?), covered in their blood and standing in the mess that was their bodies, she was holding her stepmother's detached arm. And smiling. While presumably in front of Travis. Though this trait was subdued with age (to an extent), Jeane was not at all mentally stable. She wanted their blood on her hands. She wanted to see them suffer. She was a sadist through and through, which mind you could have been prevented if she had gotten help after leaving her father.

When she meets Travis for the first time since killing his parents, probably around less than ten years, she flat out tells him she's going to kill him, right after killing someone else without a word about it. She teases him, basking in his anger and enjoying every second of it. Once again, this is where her sadism comes into play.

"I killed your parents. You must be burning up with rage."

She doesn't care about him, or... anything else for that matter, but she does care about whether or not he's dead. She wants to destroy the last piece of evidence of her previous life so she can finally start from a clean slate and live without all of the pain his family has caused her.

After they hash it out in battle, her fists against his sword, Travis gains the upper hand and it's evident to both of them that Jeane is the one who's going to be dead in a few minutes. He indirectly tells her that he's going to kill her out of vengeance for his parents, but also as a means to end her depressing life. Surprisingly, she tells him with a smile on her face that he's right and she's "had enough" and waits for him to kill her, this shows how upset and broken she really is on the inside, how at that point in her life, death is the only help she can ever get. Of course, she'd be too prideful and ignorant to let this show at any moment prior to her "breakdown", so really, she's just a nasty, whacked up, witch without this epiphany she had a little too late.
Abilities/Powers: Jeane is an avid martial artist. Her training was so expensive (which is probably a teller of how effective it was) that she had to work as a prostitute to fund herself. She dedicated her whole life to becoming a skilled enough fighter to kill her father, so that's like... a whole life of training. She even punched a hole through someone's chest... and through another person's private parts?!
Items/Weapons: Nothing

Sample Entry: From many millennia ago.
Sample Entry Two:

"I've had enough."

She knew it was coming; she practically asked for it. No, she did ask for it! All she could do was stare in front of her without really looking and wait for it like a wimp.

Jeane wasn't lying when she had said she'd had enough. But she didn't think she'd be this desperate to die. People like this? They're weak. Too weak to go on living and face their hardships like a big kid. She faced her problems, didn't she? She took them head-on and solved them - got rid of those menaces that made her life a living hell for good, and almost got rid of the last pest, too. That's definitely dealing with her problems!

Jeane wasn't lying, and that's why in the last moments of her life, the realization that she really is nothing but a wimp hit her like a brick.

Watching the sword in front of her loom dangerously near her head, she smiles. If she's been a wimp this whole time, can't she be a wimp now, too? She really is happy, happy that it's all going to end soon. She counts every hour-lasting second before sword finally clashes with flesh and bone.

She wouldn't give the last moment for the world.
