Applications Three

[havenmods]

APPLICATIONS ARE CLOSED!
RESERVATIONS ARE OPENED!

NOTE: APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED OR PROCESSED FOR APRIL, DUE TO A CURRENT DISCUSSION ON THE GAME'S FUTURE.
RESERVATIONS WILL REMAIN OPEN FOR A LONGER PERIOD.
MAY APPLICATION CYCLE WILL BE POSTED HERE AS SOON AS IT IS DETERMINED.

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.

Barty's bio: http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Bartolomeo

Their history section is a little ridiculous, since only one smallish but important thing is really known about his past. The wiki's idea of "history" is a blow by blow of everything he's done and said during the Dressrosa arc, which does inform his personality but not his actual background. Ugh. So, allow me to elucidate the important things to take from that section (spoilers abound):

Background/History: Handwritten history [here] and link to outside wiki [here]

Previous Game History:
I’ve played this version of Kongou Agon in one prior game: Holly Heights. While there he was stripped of a lot of the distractions of his flashy and materialistic lifestyle and his status as a worshipped talent was replaced by his obscurity in the eyes of his housemates. He struggled coming to terms with the fact that not only was he not catered to, but many others around him had talents that far surpassed his own. It forced him to learn a little caution…

But certainly not enough to keep him from introducing drugs to Holly Heights after requesting marijuana plants for an event reward, dislocating the arms of a fully humanized Hetalian, and running a smear campaign against Hiruma and anyone else that irritated him, the last of which ended up resulting in more than one successful arrest.

By the time he left he’d learned a little more about humility (despite how his offensive and blustery nature belied that truth) and what it was like to live as a “common” man, to reflect on what life might actually be like without his distinction as a superior breed of human. Here’s hoping that Haven will push that the rest of the way, and I suspect it’ll do just that.

Name: Christina
Contact Info: PM to pickpockets
Other Characters Played: N/A
Requested apartment: N/A

Character Name: Selina "Cat" Kyle
Canon: Gotham
Canon Point: After leaving Bruce at the hospital in Everyone Has a Cobblepot
Background/History: Gotham Wikia - Selina Kyle
Previous Game History: N/A

Personality:

Independent and willing to take risks, Selina Kyle has survived on the streets by relying only on herself. Even though she is a young girl, she refuses to be looked at as a "kid" and prefers to face any accusations head on. Despite her occasional brashness, she's fully capable of realizing that the end result will be more dangerous to her than she's comfortable with and will back down when she feels it's needed. While she is strong in her refusal to accept help from others when offered - she will still ensure that if she can help someone else out that has things worse than her, that she will.

Living on the street isn't the easiest choice for a young girl to make. When foster housing and child welfare offices are run by corrupt governments or officials, Selina has learned to take care of herself instead of relying on the broken system. When help is offered, she often refuses to accept it; believing that there might be a cost down the line that she'd have to pay. Rather than owe anyone any favors, she will sooner disconnect herself from a situation than become too comfortable with it. When Jim Gordon brought her to the Wayne Manor to stay while he kept her on file as a witness to the Wayne murders, she kept to her own schedules and even with Bruce trying to suggest that Alfred could make food for her (despite Alfred's insistence that he would do no such thing) she still stuck by her own choices. When she left the Wayne Manor it was because she knew that it was still too dangerous for her to be there - that being in a nice place with walls and a working furnace wasn't worth the risk of being in one place for a long period of time.

When she opts to help Ivy out and brings her to the abandoned apartment of Jim and Barbara, she doesn't make apologies for taking what isn't hers. She did what was needed to ensure her friend was able to get healthy again and if asked, she'd probably say she'd do it all the same. When faced with compliments that seem to go against what Selina's image of herself and where her future could lead her, when Barbara returns and attempts to befriend the homeless girls, she pushes back against those words. Deflecting her own discomfort with being cast in a certain light, she shines the spotlight on the flaws of whoever is trying to be nice to her.

Most of her willingness to take risks and not apologize for her behavior can be easily placed into her carefree attitude. It's not quite nonchalance, but it is more focused around her overall mindset that she already lives on the street - what else could happen? She doesn't make plans or do things according to a schedule and instead does whatever she needs to do in that moment. She can drop everything to just lounge on a couch for a few hours or she'll race through three boroughs just to find a person that could give her something useful.

She's flirtatious for a young girl, constantly approaching Bruce and invading his personal space as if testing his limits with her. She's offered him a kiss on a few occasions, which could either be due to her own interest or further pushing his level of being flustered in front of her. She's very grateful for the things that she does have and when presented with a gift seems very pleased to have made that sort of impression on Bruce. Her overall refusal of his help has more to do with her own need for independence and by removing what he needs from her, she removes his dependence on her for anything - something she hopes will keep him and her out of any additional trouble.

Selina is a thief, too. She makes her way either by stealing what she needs or borrowing what she can't rightly steal. Her ability to be quiet also makes her a good listener, which means that she can benefit from her ability to hide and not be seen or heard. This makes her an easy target for "goons" and similar criminal elements, because her abilities place her into dangerous situations on a somewhat regular basis. She's not easily scared, though, and doesn't back down from challenges or most attackers.

Being a girl that makes an impressive first impression, Selina has a sense of loyalty, but doesn't allow it to change who she is or how she survives. She's intelligent and quick-thinking, which helps her in nearly everything she does, and most of all she's still just a kid that's living on the streets. She's grown up far too quickly and because of that experienced more than most kids have her age and at the same time less than most kids actually need to experience. She's still learning and growing, but she has a solid idea of where she's headed.

Abilities/Powers:

For a young girl, Selina is in extremely athletic shape. She has demonstrated a great deal of strength and speed in city settings and is also capable of being highly aware of her surroundings. She has also demonstrated a great handle on her sense of smell - which takes a lot of talent since Gotham can't smell very good on an average day.

Slight of Hand: Selina is a skilled pickpocket and even at her young age can make lifts off of a person very effortlessly and without signalling the mark.

Acrobatics: Selina is capable of flexible movements that would lead someone to believe she has taught herself/learned a few basic acrobatic feats.

Balanced: Her ability to perch and balance atop narrow walls or other surfaces gives her a very high awareness of her center of gravity. It also allows her to manuever through large crowds easily and leap from rooftop to rooftop.

Street-fighting: Tougher than most kids, she can defend herself when needed - but she's not trained and her weapons skill is limited to using a knife.

Items/Weapons:

+ Dark Jeans
+ Dark Grey Hooded Sweatshirt
+ Goggles
+ Black Lace up Military Style Boots
+ Socks/Underwear/Tank Top
+ Gloves (Black Leather, no fingertips)
+ Long Sleeved Grey Shirt (thumb holes)
+ Backpack (contents: Pocket Knife, 3 Stolen Wallets, 2 Stolen Watches, 2 pair pants, 3 shirts, 3 pair underwear, 4 pairs of socks.)

Sample Entry:

[The brush pass goes smoothly. Her hand dips into the loose pocket of the oversized coat and the wallet is easily plucked in between index and middle fingers. A few feet away, she opens it up and starts to flip through it.]

Jacob Klein. Member of the Gotham Gym... [The plastic card flicks against the leather fold of the wallet.] You've probably never even swiped this to get in the door. [She glances to the plastic sleeve with photos and laughs a bit.] Not with that sad look on your face.

[The gym card is tossed to the sidewalk and she pulls out another.] You've worn this one out though - [She squints reading what's left of the logo.] Carl's Chicken Club?

[Flipping it over, she makes a face as she reads the benefits.] Every five rotisserie chickens gets your sixth one for free. No wonder you were never at the gym.

[She tucks that into her jacket pocket. It might be due for a free one.]

Three VISA cards, a library card, and a whopping thirty-four dollars. [She shrugs, taking the cards and pocketing them and then the cash. The wallet - empty except the photos - gets dropped into the next trash can.]

So... who's next? [Said to herself, looking out through the crowd.]

Requested apartment: N/A
Character Name: Jean Pierre Polnareff
Canon: Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders
Canon Point: After episode 27, after Polnareff and Joseph reunite with Jotaro outside the hospital.
Background/History: Official Wiki

Personality:
Jean Pierre Polnareff (or simply Polnareff, as he’s usually called) is a fairly simple man in appearance, yet more complicated in personality and motivation. Wearing matching broken heart earrings and donning a very late-‘80s, early-‘90s flat-top hairstyle, one would assume that upon first glance, he cares only about himself and potentially scoring a hot date.
They wouldn’t be completely wrong, but his emotions do actually have some substance. When Jotaro, Joseph, Avdol, and Kakyoin first meet Polnareff, he’s arrogant and calculating with his Stand, mentioning several times that Avdol’s Magician’s Red couldn’t possibly do anything to his own Silver Chariot. This arrogance costs him, though, since Avdol inevitably wins the battle, and when Polnareff is freed from Dio’s grasp, he joins the team; however, nobody anticipates the trouble he inevitably causes them with his blind rage toward ‘the man with two right hands,’ who murdered his sister Sherry years ago.
To be more specific, Polnareff becomes a target for several of the enemy Stand users after he joins Jotaro and the group. Centerfold (J. Geils in Japanese) and Hol Horse go out of their way to get him to fight them on his own, and as you can probably guess, things don’t go very well. Moments before this battle, Polnareff ignited an argument between Avdol and himself, which normally wouldn’t have been much of an issue, but Avdol eventually comes to Polnareff’s aid and during a brief moment of invulnerability, dies at the hand of Hol Horse. (Or Stand of Hol Horse, to be precise.) Polnareff, already grief stricken from his sister’s death, takes Avdol’s death even harder, and lets his emotions get to him while Hol Horse and Centerfold remain in the midst. Kakyoin has to calm him down and tell him that if he continues to act the way he does, he’ll end up like Avdol. Eventually, Hol Horse and Centerfold leave, after a bit more fighting, and Polnareff is left to think about how he potentially let two friends/family members die.

Baatar Jr. | Legend of Korra | Reserved

[junior_the_betrayer]

Name: Tomoto
Contact Info: deathbringerkyouya
Other Characters Played: N/A
Requested apartment: With Kuvira anywhere is fine

Character Name: Baatar Junior Beifong

Canon: Legend of Korra

Canon Point: End of episode 11 book 4: "Kuvira's Gambit"

Background/History: http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Baatar_Jr. (For some reason the period cuts off but its part of the url.)

Personality: Baatar has always been a hard worker. Dedicated to his work, often over working himself. Growing up in Zaofu he worked with his father, the first time meeting him, he is seen skipping dinner with his father to work. Papers flying behind him, obviously working hard. In fact the only meal we see Baatar at is the farewell dinner for his sister. He is then seen watching her leave before he is not shown for the rest of that season.

This constantly working seemed to grate on him greatly. When he returns home for the first time in three years. His parents ask him to come home which then he bitterly rebuffs trying saying he doesn't want to be in his parent's shadow, mainly his father.

His mother believes that Kuvira 'brainwashed' him into going with her. But Baatar went out left on his own.

While he seems to harbor resentment with most of his family he has a soft spot for Opal. He was happy to see her when he first sees her again after the three year gap. He asks how their mother is doing. He obviously still after everything loves his family. While she isn't happy to see him, he keeps a cheerful attitude towards her. This is shown later by him panicking realizing his little sister is in harms way from his weapon test.

Over the years with Kuvira he has become remorseless when it came to dealing with others. He was quoted saying how he was "Ready to take Zaofu by force." Zaofu was his home where he was born and raised and didn't leave up until three years prior. His family other than his sister was also there. After two bad run ins with his colder family members he becomes more standoffish and rude towards them. He is more than willing to mock them openly.

He is willing to harm people physically he isn't related to (like Varrick.) Baatar will hurt people to get what he wants. He threatens to harm Varrick if Zhu Li and Bolin don't give themselves up. But at the same time he doesn't want to harm his family. Despite all the resentment he has for them. When they wouldn't bend to Kuvira's will he ordered them locked up, not harmed.

He runs on a short fuse and will lash out if things do not ho his way or he is embarrassed. Such as his brother and father refusing to bow to Kuvira. He has a temper and will fuss and yell at those around him to let off his frustrations.

When he doesn't like someone he will mock their intelligence and threaten them. This is shown by him insulting Varrick more than once when he forced the man to work on the weapon. His respect could get no lower. He also shows little respect for his then Future King. But at the same time he is aware he needs Varrick if he wants to know how the spirit vines can be used to harness power. Thus deals with him, just insults him the whole time.

Baatar is an asshole, there is no ignoring this. He does still seem to have a softer side, to an extent. At one point Kuvira tossed another character violently towards him. Rather then letting her fall, he caught her and helped her stand. This right after finding out the character had betrayed him and made two attempts to destroy his weapon. He was also wanting all of his workers to leave the platform when there was a chance that his weapon could explode. He stays behind to deactivate it while everyone runs.

He is warned that the weapon will explode yet he stays behind to try and stop it from exploding. Putting himself in danger to do so. It shows how stubborn he is.

Baatar is a brilliant engineer he was able to come up with a weapon from Varrick's vague explanation and take it a step further by harnessing the Spirit energy into a weapon. He also designed and created the Colossus that Kuvira later uses to destroy the city. This shows how dedicated he is to the cause. He believes they are working to create a better Earth Empire. He knows he is smart though, having tossed that in Varrick's face as well. Making him a rather full of himself as well, but he can deliver results.

He is was madly in love with Kuvira. Everything he has done up until that point during the three years gap was for her. He built her weapons of mass destruction. He is quotes saying "I devoted my life to her." It was all for her, while no Kuvira didn't brainwash him into coming with her. There was probably a small part of him that went with her because of who she is, not so much her plans for reuniting the Earth Kingdom.

His love for Kuvira is eventually his down fall. After their reasoning with him fails, Korra threatens to take Baatar far away from Kuvira so he can never see her again, if he doesn't surrender. His own mother begged him to give up his campaign with Kuvira and he didn't bat an eye even when she began to cry. This is a man who had just looked his crying mother in the face and told her her off. Yet the idea of loosing Kuvira scared him so much, he was willing to give up the whole campaign to stay with her.

He is shocked when he is nearly killed by the woman he loves. After that he is heart broken and basically goes crawling back to his family once Kuvira tries to kill him. He then helps Korra and team Avatar by telling them the weakness to his weapon, regretting what he has built.

Abilities/Powers: Baatar is what in the world of Avatar is called "A non bender" meaning he cannot bend the elements. What he lacks in bending abilities he makes up for in brilliant at engineering and science. He built weapons for his then fiancee, Kuvira. He is also skilled operating heavy machines being able to pilot a mecha suit easily.

Items/Weapons: His pair of glasses and his uniform

Sample Entry: http://dear-player.dreamwidth.org/1430763.html?thread=32743403#cmt32743403

Sample Entry Two: He spent half the time wondered if he had died, and this was his own personal hell. This place, these people, this town. It was all- just so closed off. It felt a lot like growing up in Zaofu in the way he was trapped. Always being watched, nothing was personal, nothing was secret.

It was suffocating.

He wanted out, he wanted to go back home. He missed his-Mother, his brothers...his sister. Probably worst of all, he missed her she betrayed him, yet he still found himself wondering if she was alright. Stupid he knows, he belittles himself enough.

He had to focus on the task at hand, he needed a way to get out of here. He had already noticed there were no real exits in or out of this town.

One thing he had taken up was keeping to himself. Keeping himself, alive? He wasn't even sure anymore. But what he did know is he had no allies here, he didn't know anyone. But at the same time, he was making sure not to make any eye contact with these people. He was half worried someone will know his face.

He didn't have anyone to protect him now.

Nobody could fight his battles, and while he isn't the weakling he was years prior. He couldn't take on some of the people he had seen here. No, all he could focus on was not crossing paths with anyone who might do him harm.

Levi | Attack on Titan | not reserved

[dirtdevil]

Name: Alison
Contact Info: solarhalfbreed
Other Characters Played: N/A
Requested apartment: N/A

Character Name: Levi
Canon: Attack on Titan
Canon Point: Chapter 61
Background/History: Wikia
Personality:
There are a number of things one could assume about a person with the lofty title of "humanity's strongest." Levi is basically none of them.

From the beginning, it's easy to see he's not your typical "hero" character. First, there's the immediately obvious: he's small. He looks disgruntled and sleep-deprived almost all the time. We have literally never seen him smile. He has a difficult personality as well: he speaks brusquely and often makes rude remarks - he curses frequently and tends to use informal/disrespectful speech. However, it's quite a bit easier to understand his personality when you learn where he came from. He lived most of his life in what is essentially a giant garbage can. A good portion of that time was spent being the protégé of a serial killer. The chances that one would emerge from such experiences as a normal, upstanding individual are pretty low.

Perhaps due to growing up in an underground slum, he's very neurotic when it comes to cleanliness: he's the very definition of a neat-freak. In fact, this is one of the first things we learn about him when he is introduced: after dispatching a titan or two, Levi notices he has blood on his hand and blade and immediately stops to wipe it off with a handkerchief, despite the fact that titan blood evaporates after a short time. Later in the story, when his squad arrives at the old Survey Corps headquarters, Levi wastes no time giving his first order: the place is filthy and he won't be having any of that, and immediately divides up responsibility for whipping it back into shape.

He places a very high priority on the chain of command and expects his subordinates to be competent and obedient (though he does acknowledge personal choice at certain times). If he's being a dick to someone below his rank, it's probably not because of that, but rather because that's just his default disposition. The strict nature with which he commands his current squad is for their own good and not because of any bloated sense of power. Even having that power, it's just not in his character to flaunt or abuse it. As for those who outrank him, he holds himself to the same standard: while he sometimes protests at first, he always follows orders from the commander of the Survey Corps, Erwin Smith. Levi does not have any particular talent for strategy, and he fully acknowledges this.

That said, despite his 2/10 official "teamwork" score (see abilities section), Levi is not that terrible of a leader. His original squad respected him immensely, and it wasn't just because of his reputation. He's not a lenient squad leader by any means, but neither is he flippant or disrespectful towards those he outranks. My interpretation of this score is that it's more representative of him actually working in a team, as opposed to leading one—unlike his first squad who worked together quite well, Levi tends to veer off and deal with things on his own. He does this even when he is leading a team, but only if he knows the others can handle it and/or he has no other choice; abandoning his squad is never a preferred course of action.

Mentally, his greatest strength is keeping a cool head in sticky situations, which is good since he's pretty much always in a sticky situation. The flip side of that is a perpetual state of emotional constipation, which lends itself heavily to him being an unpleasant person. He's not 100% ice queen all the time, but if you're looking for a shoulder to cry on, you might want to look elsewhere. Essentially, his personality is his greatest weakness—he has very few desirable traits and he isn't in any rush to change that. I mean, what's the point of being a friendly person when most of your friends are dead, right?

Add all these things up and it looks like a recipe for a fairly unpleasant person. It's true that he is tough to be around, and that he seems like an asshole on the surface. However, while he may seem to dislike people in general, he does not undervalue human life. While Erwin is more of the belief that the end justifies the means, Levi is far less tolerant of what is often little more than sending soldiers off to die, even if they’ve consciously joined the Survey Corps and thus “dedicated their hearts” to humanity. It’s for the same reason that he doesn’t act recklessly—he has lost countless comrades to titans, after all. Despite the hefty title of humanity's strongest, it's important to note that he isn’t prideful about it. He's perfectly aware of his own capability, but he isn't cocky.

This is a complex character who isn't always painted in a complex way. He's not just the stoic warrior guy, or the potty-mouthed bad boy, or the strict disciplinarian captain. Under a prickly (but squeaky-clean!) exterior, there is a genuinely good guy - sometimes you just have to squint to see him.

(Get it? It's a short joke.)
