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 [community profile] 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.

To see what we are looking for:
Canon Characters:
Sample Application (Faith Lehane)
Sample Application (Iroh)

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

Previous Game History:

Abilities/Powers:

Weather Manipulation

As her codename suggests, Storm can manipulate the weather around her with a thought - that is, call forth rain, hail, snow and sleet, summon winds, fogs, mists, tornadoes and hurricanes, generate/(re)direct lightning to strike down her enemies, and adjust temperature and pressure to her liking. Storm can also do the opposite - she is as capable of dissipating such weather conditions as she is able to summon them. Her powers also give her some resistance to extreme temperature change, as well as the physiology to withstand sudden changes in pressure since her control over the wind allows her to fly at the speed of the wind and at differing atmospheric levels. Professor X has also stated on more than one occasion that the nature of her powers gives her a natural sort of shield against telepathy - telepaths find it takes some effort to maintain a prolonged mental link with her because of a "static field" around her thoughts (idk man, comics.) Other aspects of her power include being able to sense, or "see" the flow of energy and sense where exactly in the world she is just by feeling the atmospheric conditions around her.

That's like, a lot of dangerous powers. But as Ororo has had to learn the hard way, the weather isn't something to be messed with casually. Depending on the scale of what she's doing, it can have a lot of nasty effects. (For example, one of her first acts as a "goddess" was to relieve a tribe's drought by making it rain over their crops for days on end. She'd sucked the moisture from the atmosphere and caused an even bigger, wider-scaled drought over the many neighboring areas, bringing more suffering to more people.) So as much ass-kicking as she can do, she has to keep in mind to keep it restrained over certain areas. She can't alter an entire climate (she probably could, but she really shouldn't. hahaaa.)

But, Ororo is limited by the constraints of the environment she is in. Not only is she claustrophobic, but being indoors or underground would make it very difficult (or near impossible) to summon a tornado. She can only work with the already existing atmosphere (so she'll have less to work with when underground, for example)

Other skills

Her lifestyle with the X-Men also naturally implies a lot of endurance training and exercise. She's not too shabby in a fist fight - certainly not at the level of Wolverine (who taught her) but strong enough to hold her own in a one-on-one fight against the likes of Mystique. She's also handy in a knife-fight, and knows how to handle common firearms (again, because Logan insists she learn how to take care of herself without her powers. Something that came in handy when she was without her powers for an extended period of time.) She also knows how to pick locks and pick pockets with ease, due to her being taken in as a student by master thief Achmed Il-Gibar back when she was an orphaned streetchild on the streets of Cairo.


Items/Weapons: Her current uniform, and a set of lockpicks that she carries at all times!
