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.

Aomine Daiki | Kuroko no Basket | Not Reserved | 2/3
This only continues into his first year as a starter at Touou Academy. He first manages to beat Seirin, the home of his old "shadow", Tetsuya Kuroko (who was also once his best friend and the person he was "most compatible with in basketball") who he believes can't realize his full potential while working with Kagami, Seirin's ace, since his "light is too dim". And Touou does defeat Seirin, seemingly proving that point. They then go on to defeat Kaijou as well, against another former teammate who Aomine helped to realize the potential of, Ryota Kise, one of the few people that Aomine felt might have been a challenge. But at that point, he still felt that Kise wasn't much of a match for him in the end, and Kaijou went defeated. And Aomine didn't even play in their final match, and thus, Touou lost to Rakuzan in the final round. This makes him incredibly jaded, especially during the inter-high, because even when there seems like there may be the barest of hints that he might be able to find an opponent who can oppose him (such as his response to Kagami toward the beginning of their Interhigh match, which is that he "might not be so bad", which is enough to give him some heart for the duration of that match, although his inability to be defeated was eventually proven again.)
However, that wasn't enough to sway his confidence. It's only in the Winter Cup that Touou isn't so lucky, and Seirin is finally able to defeat Touou, taking Aomine out of the running and helping him to realize that there is someone out there who can defeat him. That ennui that he felt before, during his first match against Seirin and his match against Kaijou, dissipated, after thinking for so long that he wouldn't be able to find a willing opponent, again. He ends up helping Kuroko learning to shoot, and coming more to Kise, and Seirin's aid, and seems to be a little bit more mature in the current timeline (although not by much).
Aomine is, in simple terms, just kind of a tool. He's incredibly self-confident-- his catch phrase, the phrase he's most associated with in series is "the only one who could defeat me is me." This comes from his string of wins as mentioned in his history, but it's a kind of confidence that extends everywhere. He's generally lazy-- he skips practice all the time, especially once he enters high school and figures that he doesn't really have to work very hard in order to score lots of points and win games, and isn't that all that matters to him? He revels in humiliating his opponents, to a certain extent (it's just all over his irregular playstyle, and the way that he can make people think that they're going to make a shot and then completely block it). And he has a short temper, too, threatening violence to people on multiple occasions, and actually punching someone in the face at some point (even though it was really for the right reason).
But even with all of this dangerous cockiness, there is still some of that idealism that he had in his first year at Teikou, before he felt like there wasn't any challenge in any of it. He still, somewhere, wants to find that equal match-- that's what he yearns for, even as he sneered up until he was defeated in the Winter Cup, even if he'd mostly given up. And even when he was at his cockiest, he still showed some consideration toward Momoi and Kuroko, in his own gruff way (or in some cases violent, as was shown when one of his team mates questioned Kuroko's ability after a match and he shoved him into a locker). His softness shows toward some other people, too-- especially later, like when he gives Kagami a pair of shoes after Kagami doesn't even win the one-on-one he'd said he'd play them. He's also very physical-- he uses it almost as a form of intimidation, whether what he wants is an octopus sausage from his teammate or just to intimidate the crap out of an opponent. He's very aware of his presence on the court, and he's very aware of his abilities, and it's that insane confidence that probably allows him to have so many wins, even as it makes him more than a little unpopular.
Aomine Daiki | Kuroko no Basket | Not Reserved | 3/3
Items/Weapons: A gravure magazine (which is basically like a Sports Illustrated swimsuit special, lots of pictures of women who are mostly undressed but not naked), an (empty) bento box, and an old Pocari Sweat bottle (but at least it has a screw top).
Sample Entry: Haven test drive thread
Sample Entry Two: Daiki woke up disoriented. He hadn't remembered falling asleep after watching the quarter finals— after watching Kaijou lose to Seirin. That match hadn't even been boring, although what he'd really been interested in was the final match with Rakuzan. But now— well, this definitely wasn't his bed in his parents' house. For one thing, his room at home didn't have six beds in it. And for another, his mattress at home wasn't this hard.
But it took him waking up a little more to fully register what was wrong with this situation. The sharp pain in his back turned out to be a cellphone— but it wasn't his cell, which made it all the more strange. He was about to go digging around under the bed to figure out if this phone was a prank or a dud (his real phone just had to be hidden, he'd never be stupid enough to lose it), when he saw the window out of a corner of his eye—
He'd think this was a dream, except that stupid phone being a pain in his back would have woken him up from it for sure. And although that sign (that weird, creepy sign, and Daiki didn't just find anything creepy) said that he was safe, he knew it wasn't true. It was way too quiet for that.
