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.

Canon Characters:
Sample Application (Faith Lehane)
Sample Application (Iroh)

Original Characters:
Sample Application (Mors)
Sample Application (Vera de Barr)
Sample Application (Malkus Iverwelling)

Sample Entry:

[ v i d e o ]

Hail, well met, and other such judicious greetings of similar denotations, o’ city of macabre wonders! While I’m most flattered that you’ve chosen me, the tricky of trickiests, to be a member of your bracket, I find your welcome…rude. Shockingly rude!

[And he waves an index finger disapprovingly at the screen, not looking particularly put out, in fact he’s wearing his best of devilry faces. Something about him suggesting that he could…potentially…be up to no good if left to his own devices for too long. So, denizens, perhaps you shouldn’t leave him on his own for long.]

The roll in accommodations leave something to be desired [he flaps his hand dismissively here] that, however, I can grudgingly forgive. What I’m having difficulty with is the lack of refreshments…and specifically, I mean breakfast. It’s morning, the sun has risen and is greeting me most glaringly, how glorious it is. I, however, refuse to discuss the terms of my stay until I see an assortment of breakfast meats spread out in offering before me.

[Well, hop to, he has a busy day ahead of him, there’s funny business to be had, and a whole new world just waiting for him to bring on the party.]

So this is my demand, as a captive I believe I’m entitled to at least one.

Sample Entry Two:

A new world, eh? Loki had been privy to many a worlds in his long lifetime, well, lifetimes…he’s only recently acquired this body, but that doesn’t mean this incarnation hadn’t seen plenty of worlds. During his time with his youthful avenging companions he spent an entire year (or nearly so, mortal reckoning for a busy god of mischief could be difficult to differentiate from time as he knew it) jumping from world to world, dimension to dimension, and universe to universe. So he wouldn’t really color himself surprised so much as intrigued by finding himself in such a desolate and limited little world. Intrigued, because he had not traversed to this dimension by his own design so it must have been someone else’s plan, someone else’s game…and that was endlessly nettlesome. Loki was so accustomed to pulling the strings, to being apprised of the mayhem, to causing it…and now someone or something was attempting to usurp him from his domain of expertise…and it was annoying. Especially since that hadn’t the common decency to offer him blueberry pancakes and bacon…bacon, what a magical breakfast wonder.

On the other hand a new world meant a new beginning, a chance to show this world an entirely different Loki…or perhaps this was a world that knew absolutely nothing about him. Oh how grand a blank slate would be! Nothing to prove and he wouldn’t have to fight nearly as hard against the negative perceptions that had been plaguing him in his freshly acquire existence…and the less he had to fight, the less he had to think about his past transgressions. He could focus being the new trickster he was trying so hard to be, a lovable and relatively harmless scamp, with a penchant for causing a little bit of mischief and sweet chaos…now and then. Not frequently, just enough to keep the blood pumping and the excitement fresh. Everyone needed to be kept on their toes, so upset the established way of things a little bit to prevent the world from stagnating too much…that’s who he was. Though, change, Loki was also about change.

First things first, he couldn’t be at ease knowing he was out of the loop, that someone else held all of the cards and that simply could not be. So gathering information was his number one priority priority and as such, the first thing he wanted to know was…where, by Odin’s empty eye socket, were all of the words?
