havenmods | Applications Three

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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Abilities/Powers:
Mundane Strengths/Abilities:
Blue is an expert tracker and can find any scent or person she is asked to find. This was something she was trained for by Quent and she is proud of her ability to do this. She is also an amazing guardian and protector if she trusts and cares for you she would take a bullet to save your life and sacrifice her own.

Sensitivity/Magical Ability:
As far as Magical Abilities go Blue only has the one, like all wolves from wolf’s rain she has the ability to change her appearance in front of humans on her on whim. Making her appearance to seem to be human when she is in fact not, though when she is in human form she is human in all senses of the word even to touch. All of the wolves can choose when to use this magic but it can prove to be a little tricky for Blue since she is only half, so she tends to remain wolf more than human.

Items/Weapons: Collar, Clothes (when human), Leash
Sample Entry: Test Drive
Sample Entry Two:

In front of the doors a blue black dog lays still yet breathing softly. It's unclear if she is okay or not at first until her eyes slowly opened. Bright blue eyes blinked a few times trying to clear the sleepy haze from them. Her nose twitched softly as she tried to take in the scent of where she was. In a quick instant the dog jumped up to her feet, head turning back and forth furiously she now knew this wasn't where she was before. Ears perked and alert Blue took in all the sounds that this place could produce few as they were. So odd. None of this was familiar to her. Blue had never been in a place like this one before. All she can recall was one moment she was on her own leaving her master... her Pa. Next she was in front of these massive doors. Had she been caught? It wouldn't surprise her after she discovered the wolf part of her thanks to Cheza. Though...this was too different from being caught if it was that simple she would be in a cage, right?

A small whine left her as she turned to scratch at the large doors in some hope they might click open. The ability of hiding her form from humans and becoming more human was something she still had to get down. All she had for now was her original form. With the scratches and pushes to the door being unsuccessful she turned away from them, tail rose to scare off anything that might threaten her. It might be best to have a look around if she ran into trouble she could always fight. Giving the door a final look she turned and started to walk down the hallway. Ears perked high on her head she made sure to listen to every sound this place had to offer. If she was lucky maybe she would find someone that lived here that wouldn’t try to kill her for what she was…
