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.

» As a note, Bayonetta takes place in the same universe as the original Devil May Cry series because of the following: Enzo exists in both games/manga, and so does Antonio Redgrave, Luka's father. Whether it's before or after is still unknown. Most likely after because Enzo looks younger in the DMC Manga series.

no subject
Bayonetta is a modern witch covered in mystery, intrigue, and a catsuit fit for a queen.
Bayonetta is confident, bold, and cocky; she has swagger, and it shows with her runway walk. When she knows she has a foot on the situation, she takes it over and dominates the situation or at least tries to. Sometimes she ends up far too cocky for her own good, and it shows with the mistakes she makes in battles, failing some of the Alfheim challenges, and not anticipating her father coming back after her return from the past. She's still human, she still makes mistakes whether big or small.
She's nonchalant about the things that would usually scare a normal human being, like angels and demons, heaven and hell. She even calls the infernal demons she summons as pets. There are only a few things Bayonetta is scared of when she still had no recollection of her past. Now the only thing she's frightened of is losing the few good friends she has in the world, and Cereza when she was still around in the present. Bayonetta has a constant cool state even under pressure that can reach to the extremes, only to be triggered by certain sensitive topics, like how Jeanne threatens Cereza's life. Caring about people is what makes her vulnerable because she will defend them whatever it takes.
Bayonetta loves playing the dominant sadist; she is violent and brutal, yet still graceful and playful when it comes to her battles. She has no qualms in torturing god's holy messengers with equipment like iron maidens and guillotines, even going so far as to mock them with flirtation and spank them with her whip before she finishes them off with bullets, fists, or the ground. She even laughs after they die, being genuinely amused at their demise. She doesn't back down from a fight, simple as that; Bayonetta enjoys hunting for angels, but she loves looking for a challenge. That's one of the reasons why she started her journey in the first game.
There's no denying her witty and sexual nature. It's practically synced with her fighting, being nude fifty percent of the time, and her personality — she uses it as an edge against people. That's how she made Luka back away and fall over a window simply by walking to him, and she's comfortable with elegant nakedness. She does enjoys sex in general, even mentioning that she rather enjoys the proccess of making children over having them.
Her cover up when she's out in public is posing as a traveling nun. She knows how to play her role well and even deceives people with it, even memorizing some of the verses from the Bible. That makes her an excellent actress to the public, and whenever she decides to hide her emotions or true thoughts from prying eyes; it's one of the many ways of manipulation at its finest, and it looks very beautiful. Just because she uses manipulation doesn't mean she is a liar. She just never tells the truth, or she beats around the brush just as Jeanne accuses her of doing. Bayonetta does draw things out depending on the situation, mainly either if she loves to tease a person or toy with them.
In the context of children like Cereza, she was never appreciative of them before. Still isn't, but she isn't as allergic to taking care of them before meeting Cereza. In the middle of the game grew an exception during one of her most intense quests. Cereza came into her life in the most unfortunate way possible, and that is through a battle with one of the larger angels. Initially the witch believes her to be a burden, but whenever Cereza disappears or is taken from her, worry rises and so does anger. This doesn't mean she cares for all children, but Bayonetta's grown a motherly attitude for Cereza. It could happen again if she becomes close to another young person.
Her theme song reveals a secret loneliness, and it stems from two things: In the past, Bayonetta was hated by almost everyone in the clan except her mother, Rosa, and her best friend, Jeanne. In the future she has no memories of her past, and she's the only one of her kind left until she reunited with Jeanne. Bayonetta has been alone most of her life, but she's all right.
Bayonetta is blunt and snarky, most especially when people wear her patience thin, when she becomes uncomfortable, or when she grows ridiculously bored in such a short span of time. Like talkative angels, for example. Bayonetta has disrupted two speeches, one by shooting Fortitudo at his upsidedown face with her handguns. There's also stopping Sapientia's speech by throwing a large steel bar at his mouth to keep his jaw from moving. She ain't taking yo bs, m8.
tl;dr Bayonetta in a nutshell: She does what she wants.
Abilities/Powers:
» lengthy detailed version. tl;dr version below.
» physical
Bayonetta is a woman filled with years of training in the form of physical prowess and the dark arts. Because she holds the Left Eye of the World, and because she is the child of a Lumen Sage and an Umbra Witch, she is incredibly powerful and it shows with how she deals with angels and demons. She can easily catch a falling train ( part of it ) with one hand, which is most likely enhanced due to her own magic. Without her magic she could only carry what her build will allow. She knows how to fight with different kinds of weapons, with four handguns being her favorite, as well as some hand to hand combat.
Guns perfectly harmonize with Bayonetta because she's studied and mastered the Bullet Arts, a fighting style favored by the Umbra clan, and how agile and limber she is. She also enjoys wrestling, street & pole dancing, and a bit of figure skating. She fights like a glass cannon where she does her best not to be hit, and it rewards her with Witch Time. If she's hit, she loses plenty of stamina and health. Even though she is a powerful witch, Bayonetta is still human and is vulnerable to what a mortal human goes through; she can die like one whether it is ( extremely ) old age, murder, or natural causes. It's just a bit tougher because she knows how to fight.
» magic
Bayonetta can use magic like a traditional Umbra witch, like setting things on fire with just a sweep of her finger or granting second sight on glass to reveal the ongoing events within Purgatorio. Additionally they can summon certain weapons through magic. She can also start a vehicle without the keys, same goes for doors, and breathe in outer space. She most likely gains her super strength from her magic as well. She isn't immortal, she can die.; the witch has longevity, almost 600 years old and she still looks to be in her twenties.
An important note with Umbran magic is that they use their hair as conduits for summoning or simple magic, like how Bayonetta uses it for clothing. She can also transform into different animals: Panther, Crow, and a Bat. She has the potential to transform into a snake.
Bayonetta can summon a portal to slip between the mortal realm and Purgatorio, where she is invisible to the naked eye. Only those on the level of an Umbra Witch, a Lumen Sage, or something godly can see Bayonetta. However, she can be revealed through a mirror's reflection in the mortal realm.
Witch Time is a specialty for witches, where they can slow down time by entering another plane of existence. She can even use the slowed down world and manipulate it to her will.
MADAME BUTTERFLY is the demon Bayonetta has made a deal with to enhance her abilities with both action and magic. it's through the use of Wicked Weaves that the Madame's fists and heeled feet are summoned out using the witch's hair per usual. Bayonetta has the potential to summon the Madame herself in full form, but she needs more training before she can pull it off like she can in the sequel.
She can summon out torture devices and infernal demons from inferno and use it on the supernatural from some sort of dark magic hammerspace, which is also where she keeps her inventory. In the OVA she was able to use it on Jubileus with the help of Jeanne and their summoned demon, Queen Sheba. There's a chance for her to mess up the summoning however, accidentally releasing the demons instead of holding them back with her magic, but the chance is low. If she uses her magic in repeated succession chances are she'll be too exhausted ( magic-wise ) to a point that she won't be able to use it again for a certain amount of time.
