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: Nagachika Hideyoshi | Tokyo Ghoul | Reserved (2)
Canon: Tokyo Ghoul
Canon Point: Manga - Chapter 53
Background/History: Here
Personality:
The very first thing one would note about Nagachika Hideyoshi is his unending optimism. He’s always the type to yell, cheer, and cry out his feelings; be they positive or dramatically negative, he’s the type of person who seems to come across as, quite literally, living sunshine. He’s the type of person who can befriend and get along with just about anyone he comes across, his attitude being carefree, easygoing and easily adjustable to peoples’ moods. The fact that his best friend is Kaneki Ken--a shut-in who has no other friends except the optimistic Hideyoshi, is proof enough that he has a personality that can break through even the tallest of walls and wrangle people into enjoying his company. At the same time, this sort of personality can be overbearing and kind of uncomfortable to those who aren’t so easily swayed by such an attitude, and he can tend to chase off--by accident--those who he’s talking to just by being too forward with his treatment of others.
It’s also worthy of note to how over accommodating he is as a person; that even when he’s brushed off, put aside, or lied to; he doesn’t seem to give a damn; deciding there’s possibly significant reasoning behind it. People not returning his calls, messages, or even giving him the thumbs up that they’re doing fine doesn’t trigger a reaction of anger or annoyance in him, but rather, just a constant feeling of worry and wonder to whether or not that person is okay. It’s shown most prominently when his best friend won’t get back in contact with him after he gets out of the hospital, keeping patience with him despite how it took literal weeks to get a word out of him after his intensive surgery. So long as his friends are safe and happy, he doesn’t give a damn about his own feelings or needs.
Hideyoshi can be extremely momlike; someone who takes care of those who seem to be in need for it. His role in the CCG is that of a sort of deliveryman, doing tasks as a sort of gofer, though his reasons for this are completely selfish, he seems to be entirely comfortable doing it anyhow. The same goes for his treatment of Kaneki, as most often he’s constant in calling him to make sure he’s eating or sleeping properly, even going so far as to leave him food as well as cooking instructions so that his friend is taking proper care of himself. Perhaps it’s because he knows someone without any parents needs this sort of care at some point in their life, being all too willing to fill those shoes if he’s the only one who can do it.
Despite this carefree attitude and overly friendly personality of his, he’s rather adept at hiding another part of himself; the fact that he’s actually extremely attentive and sharp-minded. He’s capable of picking up on subtleties, finding out secrets and tying together information to figure things out in a nearly ‘Sherlock-like’ manner. He’s also extremely good at hiding this fact about himself behind his living sunshine demeanour, making it hard for people to see exactly how intelligent and quick-witted he actually is. He’s seen as extremely dangerous to have around ghouls, as he’s far too quick to figure things out, and the way he is, discovering what his best friend is would mean death for him. It’s hinted, however, that he’s already entirely aware of this fact since early on, proving exactly how sharp he is, but given that he’s also extremely in-tune with others’ feelings and situations, he keeps it a secret alongside everything else as to let life run as ‘normal’.
Hideyoshi is a determined man, and he doesn’t often let things get so far that he’ll give up on them. Be them small goals, or his relationships with others, he’s not someone who will let circumstances affect how he feels about things. Just because he’s ignored, doesn’t mean he’ll stop caring about a person, and if he’s completely aware of being lied to, he doesn’t often take it personally. His relationships with others is far more important for something quite so petty, so he doesn’t often pay any mind to it. Though, he isn’t someone who will just sit around and wait for things to happen, either, as when his best friend goes missing, he sets a goal of finding out what happened to him, even going so far as pushing his way into the ranks of the CCG, a group of people dedicating to destroying people like his best friend--just so he can possibly find and protect the man he’s lost. At the end of it all; he even accepts the ‘monster’ his friend had become, showing exactly how compassionate and caring a person Hideyoshi can actually be.
Re: Nagachika Hideyoshi | Tokyo Ghoul | Reserved (3)
Nagachika is a completely ordinary human, so as far as powers and abilities go, he’s pretty much in the negatives. Average strength, average marks in school, he’s not really so much an outstanding person in this way. However, he’s known to being far sharper than most of his friends, and is often commented as having a ‘Sherlock-like’ sharpness to him. Being able to figure out reasoning behind subtleties, finding out secrets, understanding things that others can’t right away, and catching on in situations where most others can be baffled. He’s also known for planting wiretaps and cameras in places when he has a ‘hunch’ about something that is either criminal or important information, and often reports his findings to the police when his intuition turns out to be right.
Items/Weapons: Cell Phone, Walkman, Headphones.
Sample Entry: Here and here.
Sample Entry Two:
He could tell. He could always tell that about his friend, how little he slept or how poorly he'd been eating lately. In the way Kaneki always tried to hide secrets from the Hideyoshi, they were always so obvious to him; even if he always acted the fool. He'd let it slide. If only because he knew Kaneki was better off that way, dealing with his troubles on his own. Right? He was doing the other favour by letting him do things in his own ways...
Right?
As his phone flashed red at the sound of a reply, he wondered, really. If Kaneki really was better like that, on his own, dealing with everything after… Fingers slid over the screen, and he takes a moment to read it, a little smirk moving up his face. Well; if his friend was already awake, there was no need to hold back. He took the moment to dial the number on the phone’s touch screen, and he didn’t have to wait more than a moment before Kaneki answered--though his answer was more of a groan mixed with a mumble. So much for getting a coherent reply out of him. Well; it wasn’t like it mattered.
“Ohhhh, snap. I actually woke you up. Now I actually feel bad!” He laughed, a bright grin spreading across his face as he lays back, an arm hooking around the back of his head. Listening to the others’ response, giving a little grumble of his very own.
“Okay, maybe I feel just a little bad, I have company now. And maaaan, let's not talk about Asian history, I'm already getting a headache at the idea of having to study another minute under Kobayakawa-sensei's horrible glare….”
He stops, waiting, wondering if he should continue that sentence, his eyebrows furrowing. ...Well. In for a penny... out for a pound. If he had absolutely any doubts about talking to his friend about this, then he wouldn’t have started this conversation in the first place.
“Ah, yanno. Just wondering if you've been alright lately. You've seemed distracted in class, Aaa? If you need any help with anything, you know I’m here buddy. Just a phone call away, right?”
