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.

Sample Application (Faith Lehane)

Abilities/Powers:

Sora's abilities range from a wide variety of special skills and assets. The main two being magic and strength. Whether combining the strength of his friends or using his own magic he learned along the way, Sora's skill set in a rather large one.

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: Sample here.

Sample Entry Two:

Out of all the worlds Sora had visited, this was certainly not going to be on his top ten list. The area was barren, and unlike Halloween Town which carried its own eerie contents, this one lacked... well, light. Light in a literal sense to his actual field of vision when he finally began his trek through the subway station, but also in a sense where he felt completely hopeless. The light in this world had nearly been dried up completely, and the more Sora stayed here, the more he began to realize how "dark" this place truly was.

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!
