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.

Canon Characters:
Sample Application (Faith Lehane)

Original Characters:
Sample Application (Mors)

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Sample Entry: Intro at another game!
Sample Entry Two: She doesn't really know why she's so surprised. This is the second time something so absurd has happened; being whisked away from the familiarity of her home and carried off to some discreet, unheard of pocket of the world... In fact, it felt like only yesterday she was brainwashed into a school life of mutual killing with her classmates.

If that was the case, shouldn't she be glad that she's been swept into a new world yet again? This place, Haven, is different; Haven is not the kind of place Mikan Tsumiki is used to. She tries to tell herself this is a good thing. Greener pastures lie ahead of her; there's nothing to worry about anymore. There's no more extreme risk of death. The sign says it's safe, right? Right. If that's the case, then why does she feel so... creeped out? This place is freaky - it's rustic and old and that sign right outside of her window is really beginning to make her more uncomfortable rather than safe. She feels bad anyway, though. Everyone on the island could still be there... waiting for their deaths.

At the very least, she won't have to worry about anybody being murdered anymore. Maybe. She's not too sure yet, this place doesn't look all that trustworthy.

Mikan squeezes her fists tight together. A thought hits her like a brick through a glass window. Maybe her friends are all here. That would certainly make sense, right? It can't just be her. It shouldn't be. It's not. Regaining a tiny sliver of hope, she meekly takes the recorder that was given to her and nervously turns it on.

"H-Hello! I'm Mikan Tsumiki. . ."
