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: Sora | Kingdom Hearts | Expired Reserve
Besides being the great Keyblade wielder that he is, Sora still in many ways is just a teenage kid. Before his great adventure, he spent the days relaxing and pretty much being a ‘bum’ as his friend Kairi explained. He enjoys lying around and goofing off, and in many ways carries that same childish aspect into his travels. Often Sora is seen having small fits with Donald, his magic user and companion, about simple or insignificant details. Those childish and near simple-minded ways also in some cases almost get him into trouble, too. In the instance when arriving in the Land of Dragons, Sora instantly suspects that Mulan is being attacked by a monster, and rushing in to beat it despite realizing it was actually a friend from his previous travels. To which he he was later scolded about the fact.
Sora is quick to make up his mind without fully understanding the details of a certain situation. Many times, if someone where to be in danger, he would rush into the fight without really knowing who the person was, or why they were in trouble to begin with. Once he sets his mind to a certain task, there is little anyone can do to stop him. He is usually gunho about his circumstances, and uses his energetic personality to lead his party members into the fists of battle. He tends to use his head instead of his brains, without considering the results at times. Still, those childish ways do still have their ups.
As a teenage boy, Sora has a wide range of emotions. Often being carried from one situation to another. If the event calls for it, he can be serious and hard to the bone. Other times he is as sweet and bubbly as they come. He is very impulsive and lets his emotions do most of the the talking when things get down to it. Mostly relying on his gut feeling or instinct. Though if threatened or offended, this Keyblade wielder tends to drift on becoming fairly easy to anger. Be it his childish tendencies or coming up against an enemy, Sora will waste no time to get rid of an object of obstacle and move ahead. When it comes to facing the Organization time and time again, Sora is constantly on edge and even takes the time to insult some of the members. Even calling Demyx a 'broken record'. He tends to be more straight forward and 'get to the point' when faced with people who try to oppose him and his goals. Usually if they have differences or if someone places themselves off as an enemy, Sora is hard towards that person. Sometimes rushing in for a defeat despite hearing how the whole conversation.
Also something you need to know about this little guy- he is most of the time Mr. Happy-go-Lucky. He is known to be positive and uplifting, always encouraging with a smile on his face. If one of his friends, of even a complete stranger, were to be down in the dumps, Sora doesn't wait for them to wallow in their self pity. Rather, to shower them with positive influences and words. He rarely thinks negative, and strives to be a person whom brings light to people's hearts. His upbeat and charming disposition may be another reason why people are so drawn to him.
This youngin' also holds a strong sense of justice. That is, he acknowledges the difficulty ahead of him, and is willing to preform his task to the best of his ability. He is fully aware of the quest set out before him, and with the attitude of success, allows himself to stride forward not only for his friends, but for the set worlds around him in which he connects himself to.
That still isn't to say he won't bump his head into places that shouldn't belong. Often times when entering a world, if a conflict should occur in front of him, this boy will be one of first on the scene. Whether it was to aid or simply being a little too curious. It takes a lot for this young boy to step away from the affairs of others, but be it that his duty is to save the worlds, he goes far beyond his quota to make sure the people around him can live peacefully.
It is through these endeavors that Sora meets all kinds of people. He is a very social butterfly, and is able to meet and interact with others almost on the dot. Whether they want to interact with this boy is usually not up to them- because he is the first to initiate any sort of conversation, and quickly attempts to befriend those around him. Sure, most do not accept the offer at first, but he tries his hardest to earn the trust and respect of others- which, in most cases, he often does. And usually, because of the aura of friendly he carries on his shoulders, they too return the partnership, resulting on someone Sora can rely on for help and strength.
Another thing about Sora's friends- they're untouchable from his heart. Sora puts his friends first and would do anything for them; even give up his own life. In the search for Kairi he willingly offers himself up to the Organization just to see her. Getting down on both hand in knee in front of his enemy just to know if she was safe. Not only was saving the worlds and finding King Mickey important, but Sora would always have a piece of his friends on his mind. Often wanting to go out of their way locate where they were at.
Riku, another one of Sora's dear friends, was the cause of most of his travels. While he did have to rid the worlds of Heartless and restore balance to the broken worlds, he was determined to find his friend whom he soon found out had been taken over by Darkness. Maybe times during his duties did he stumble upon his friend, and no matter how coldhearted the boy seemed to act towards Sora, he would never give up on him. His friends are his drive- the thing that keeps him going- and the source of his power. Without them, he would have nothing left to fight for.
Overall, Sora is a fun loving boy with a heart of gold. He is selfless and faithful to his friends and, with a carefree attitude, shines a light that is unmatched by the worlds.
Re: Sora | Kingdom Hearts | Expired Reserve
Sora's combat relies on a weapon called the Keyblade which is exactly what it sounds like- a long, sword like weapon with the top of a what looks to be a key. Not only is this weapon used for offense, but it holds greater power when the 'key' ability is used which enables to boy to lock and unlock the different worlds he visits. While traveling from world to world, Sora obtains different Keyblades along the way which increase the strength or magic from the previous one. Sora is able to switch between these Keyblades whenever he may please, and during some events may be able to even use two at a time. These events are known as Drive Forms.
Sora has a number of these Drive Forms which vary depending on the companion he uses to aid the transformation with. Things such as Valor form, which specializes in strength and lacks in magic. His outfit turns red in this form, and two keyblades are able to be used. Speed in increased, as well as the ability to jump higher than before. In order to use this power however, his friend Goofy must lend him his strength. Wisdom form which turns his outfit blue, and although is he unable to use two keyblades in this form, Sora is fast on his feet and is able to shoot magic bullets from his blade. To use this form, much like Valor, Sora would call on the need of his friend Donald to help.
Master form is another which adorns Sora in yellow. With the help of both Donald and Goofy, this boy uses his power to master in both magic and strength. Another form that uses both of his companions is the Final, a form which clothes Sora in silver and gives him the ability of guiding. Much like his Valor and Master form, two keyblades can be used and his strength is heavily increased.
There is one more form however, one that is triggered simply by overworking the other forms or using them too many times. Randomly, Anti form actives which transforms Sora into what looks to be a Heartless. No keyblades are used in this form- only the claws Sora obtains while in this berserk-like mode is used for combat. While his speed is highly increased in this form, he is able to use magic or even heal himself in his state.
Yet aside from these skill sets, Sora also has the ability to use Magic. These can range from a variety of different things, such as fire, blizzard, and thunder being the most basic. As he develops and uses more of it, the boy is then able to increase the power of his magic to deal devastating damage. Yet aside from offensive, another basic skill of Sora's is the cure ability. This, depending on its strength, can heal a significant amount of health needed for his journey.
Lastly, Sora had the ability to Summon with his keyblade. With the aid of the charms he finds from world to world, his boy is able to transport his friends from across different worlds in order to aid him in battle.
Items/Weapons: A few high potions and his keyblade.

Sample Entry Two:
He wasn't going to give up hope on finding a way home, though. However dark the situation may be, there was always a small light at the end. Sora had learned this simply through his long journeys to restore the worlds, as well as help from his friends. But right now, standing in the middle of a dark corridor, the boy was all alone.
It was the thoughts his friends that caused his feet to push forward into the darkness. With one hand pressed deeply to his heart, and the other on his blade, Sora allowed himself to take in a breath before continuing. Surely this place, one he had yet to visit, could be a key in finding a way home... perhaps.
It was the voices behind him that caught his attention first. Causing his head to whip about, and clenching hold of his Keyblade so tight he could almost feel the red of his knuckles become white. But nothing- nothing was ever there.
"Argh! If you're gunna follow me, just come out already!" His voice huffed with an air of annoyance, flailing his Keyblade about in different directions. This brunette couldn't exactly tell where the voices where coming from, or in which direction he felt as though someone was watching him. But he was sure of it- someone had to be here! "Stop messing around!"
It was with his sentence that a new noise had reached his ears- a terrifying screech, one belonging to a monster, no doubt. It seems as though they had taken Sora's words to heart as the sound of flapping wings came closer to him.
With that the boy dropped into a fighting stance- bending his knees as both hands curled against the handle of the Keyblade. He pushed himself forward then, feet pressing hard against the ground to jolt himself forward to gain speed. His Keyblade flew forward into one quick motion, making contact with something on the other side. "It's over!"
For his sake, his friends, and everyone he had come to meet in this place, Sora was going to take on every foe for their sake- he would find a way out of here!
