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.

Re: shiro kamiya | afterschool charisma | not reserved
As the only non-clone of St. Kleio Academy, Shiro has been describe by one of his friend as the odd man out. This is undeniable, considering he's surrounded by famous historical clones who have been given life for the purpose of surpassing their originals, and allowing humans to live more comfortably through their promising achievements. Despite having a close group of friends, he often finds clones to be confusing and hard to understand, even if it does not stop him from trying to understand them. There is one thing that he is sure of: "it's hard being a clone". They're the ones that have to work harder than him, although oddly enough Hitler, who has called him the odd man out, is also the one who has him realize that he is no different from them, burdening pressures because of who they are and who they came from. It's more like he's easily swayed... however....
Due to this Shiro could be considered more childish in comparison to his companions. His friends have mentioned he tends to be influenced easily by others, true when we see how excited he becomes by the Almighty Dolly. While it is only a fad, one that Shiro doesn't even have any reason to join in on as a non-clone, it doesn't take long for him to become fascinated by this lucky charm, excitably declaring that he would make one for everyone. No, seriously. He's 100% into this idea because his friend (surprise! Hitler, again.) said it saved Mozart after he tried to hang himself. Even so, another reason for this can also because that Shiro has family. He's only a teenager after all and his classmates are clones without a family so they more or less have to rely on themselves. Unlike them Shiro has his father to talk to in his times of need. Really, it might be more fair to say that clones have to grow up too fast. Shiro is a boy who is in the process of finding himself and unlike the clones he has no idea who it is or who he is meant to be. This becomes literal when he finds out that he's also a clone after all, one that isn't famous like the others (at this point he could only wonder who he is). Nevertheless, this father-son bond did not break because this revelation and he is quite attached to his father (something Freud so graciously pointed out).
Optimistic and caring, Shiro is the type that tries his best to look on the bright side of things. He wants his friends to be happy, and he would do what is in his power to fulfill their wish. In this case it would be Marie Curie, a young woman that he is also in love with. Because Marie wanted to pursue music he talks to his dad so that she can live her dream instead of living in a box that the teachers have set for her. Her leave may have been sudden and alarming to the others but his trust in his dad as well as his optimistic nature is what pushes him away from any doubts he has in his mind. However, if we're being honest this worry of his friends does rub off on him a little. He's never really been the most confident type of person but nevertheless he's a boy that will try to remain positive until the end.
Of course this doesn't always go smoothly. On the other hand, Shiro can come off as overly defensive about his thoughts and actions. If provoked far enough he can become quite hotheaded, although he's never actually punched anyone in the face before so there's that. We are talking slamming guys into walls or grabbing their shirts in angry though, but those are due to pretty intense circumstances (e.g. being accused of killing a Joan-killer because the guy who killed her looked just liked him. Spoilers: He's a previous generation clone). On a less extreme example when his friends were worried about Marie, he defended against it, truly worked up because did not seem to trust that she was fine. It was his actions that lead to her departure after all and it resulted in quite an argument. But that is not all he will defend! He will always defend his friends honor if they are insulted or threatened. It's actually pretty easy to provoke and win an argument over Shiro since most of the time he's just a kid who's pretty sensitive and easily flustered. Nevertheless, he would be willing to push himself in order to defend his friends.
An important ribbon to wrap up Shiro's traits is that overall he's a compassionate person who just wants the best for everyone he cares about. This circle includes people that he does not get along with because the last thing he wants is for anyone to get hurt. Once Joan had asked "How could a non-clone understand our suffering?" and Shiro is honestly always trying. Even though the fad around the Almighty Dolly was even cult like, he did not push it away but felt strongly for his friends who were in it. He became angry when his other friends did not taking it seriously, cracking jokes about the cult meeting, retorting "They've got it all wrong. It's stressful being a clone" (to his clone friends btw). And you know what? His worry only confused his friends since he's not a clone. He shouldn't have to worry. Although he admits to being the odd man out, Shiro doesn't like it at all and just want to fit in. Others have called his behavior egoism and pity, but Shiro has never looked down on his friends and is someone who sees his friends as individuals regardless of how many "versions" of them there might be. He genuinely cares for all of them.
By the time Shiro leaves the academy he's finally given the responsibility and the truth of his origins. As the clone of the Founder of St. Kleio Academy, Shiro is quick to take the first step necessary toward this responsibility for the sake of his friends even if it's all really sudden. The people who he cares about is what makes him who he is, and he's willing to once again become even stronger to protect them. Make no mistake, he's still a small child, and he has a long journey ahead of him but he will do what it takes for the better of the school and the students in it.
Abilities/Powers: n/a!!!!!
Items/Weapons: A pool cue, fencing épée, and a set of clothes he packed in his suitcase.

Sample Entry Two:
It started out like most of his dreams with Marie did, with her smiling at him even in his confused state because no matter how much time may have passed he's never stopped worrying about her. Even though he's so sure that Marie Curie is dead, she still appeared in his dreams alive and well. Maybe it was the guilt that kept him from forgetting or maybe it's that the small glimmer of hope that she's safe still harbored deep in his heart keeping his dreams going away even in a place like Haven. No, it very well could be both but no matter what, Shiro is one that would never forget about a friend.
Marie?
Why are you here? I've been so worried.
It has been over a month since his arrive at Haven and he's quickly learned the harsh reality of the situation. This place is nothing like home even if he feels just as trapped here as he did at St. Kleio Academy. It took three weeks for him to stop calling out his dad for help even if it took less time for him to realize that he's alone. Old habits die hard and even if he's met new people, he missed his friends. Even so he wouldn't wish any of his friends in such a dangerous environment so the fact that Marie was here is conflicting to say the least. That's right. Marie shouldn't be here.
— "Wait!"
An arm reaching out, Shiro flings himself up from his bed only to realize that it was indeed a dream. There's another two second delay before he pulls back, clenching his open hand into a fist. He was powerless here but he won't give up yet because his friends are still waiting for him to make a difference with his role and he won't forget that either.
