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.

Personality: Artemis comes from a family of criminals, and the tough environment she was raised in plays a huge role in who she is today. She is rather aggressive, known to have 'tough' attitude, and has no issue with putting anyone in their place if she feels they need it. When asked why she must challenge others, she simply stated "where I come from, that's how you survive". If something bothers her, she will definitely call it out. She also likes to combat issues with force instead of really thinking them through or talking about them. Artemis is also rather snarky, sassy, and sarcastic, and has no problem with speaking her mind, which actually causes her to clash with some of her teammates when she first joins the team. This is also the reason why her relationship with Kid Flash is mostly antagonistic.

Most of the time, she comes off as a young girl who is confident in who she is. However, deep down lies a girl who is insecure and ashamed of who she is, or rather, where she came from. Because of her background, Artemis is extremely secretive of her origins and can be somewhat defensive. Before she joined the team, she did solo vigilante work to prove that she is not her family, despite her father raising her to be a criminal and even telling her mother she was kidding herself if she thought Artemis could escape the “family business”. Not wanting to follow in her family's footsteps, Artemis decided to make her own way and became a hero. She refused to let her father or anyone else mold her into something she didn't want to be.

She eventually encounters her future team, and wants to join, however, because she comes from a family of criminals, she didn't think they'd accept her and thought she was kidding herself. When she's actually propositioned by Batman and Green Arrow to join the team, she asks them not to tell everyone who her family is. Since then, she has worked extremely hard to keep her secrets after joining the team and has constantly had to lie because she fears that her new found family would not accept her. Because of where she comes from, she feels she has to work even harder to prove herself so that her position with the team is secure.

Even if Artemis is aggressive in nature, she still has a softer side and is approachable. This side can be seen primarily when she's around her mother or her teammates. Despite her rather rocky start with the team, she was still able to work very well with them as time progressed, and is always willing to help them when they need her. She has grown to care for them as if they were her second family.

Abilities/Powers: Artemis, at the end of the day, is a normal human, unlike the majority of her teammates. She has no special powers, and has the same weaknesses as any human would. Even so, that does not mean she's incapable of defending herself and taking on the bad guys. Thanks to training with her father, as well as her current mentor, Green Arrow, she's extremely skilled with a bow and arrow as well as a crossbow, making her the team's markswoman. Artemis doesn't just need the bows and arrows to hold her own, though. Coupled with her marksmanship, she's also skilled in various martial arts and acrobatics.

Items/Weapons: Her bow, crossbow, and some arrows.
Sample Entry: Here. And another. And a thread.

[Upon somewhat getting adjusted to her surroundings, which mostly means learning how the communicator worked, Artemis immediately turns it on. The feed would show a masked young girl, who’s obviously confused, maybe even annoyed.]

Okay, to anyone who can hear this, if you explain what’s going on, that’d be really great. Honestly. What is this place? Is there a way out?

[A beat.]

Is the team here? Zatanna? [Of course, that would be the first name to come to mind as she was literally the last person she was with before ending up here.] Kid Flash? Robin? Anyone?

Sample Entry Two: Wow. Talk about a crazy Halloween. One minute, Artemis was with Zatanna, fighting some nut job who blew up her bike when she was supposed to be enjoying a night out on the town. Then the next? Artemis found herself waking up in a strange place, running a hand over her forehead and trying to figure out how she got here. Did Harm have anything to do with this? Did one of Zatanna's spells go wrong and teleport her here somehow? Most importantly, will she be able to get out of here?

She explored her surroundings, hoping to find some answers, but she's already sure she won't have too much luck from the looks of this place. Everything looked so rundown and deserted; she'd be lucky if she found any of her teammates...or just anyone for that matter. After some seemingly aimless wandering, she let out a deep sigh and stopped in her tracks.

"This is some Halloween, huh?"
