havenmods | Applications

APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN!
The next processing date is Friday 11th October

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 two weeks, 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. If you wish to request a specific apartment, please do so in the relevant part of the application. 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.

Every attempt will be made to place a character in their chosen apartments, though this may not always be possible depending on the slots available.

Applications are open constantly, but are only processed every other Friday at 7PM EST. The Saturday following acceptance, an IC mingle log will be posted for characters to be introduced to the game.

Character Name: Haru Miura.
Canon: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Canon Point: Chapter 408
Background/History: Link here!
Personality: Haru is an eccentric and peppy girl who has a tendency to jump to wild conclusions (examples would be overreacting or getting crazily excited over new things or the idea of making friends) as well as having a myriad of wild habits that would be considered 'strange' or 'weird' by people who do not know her personally. She loves and is overprotective of children, showing that she has a motherly side and is usually the one to babysit Lambo and I-Pin with Kyoko without much protest. It's very rare for Haru to get angry because she is always shown to be very bubbly and happy but there can be times where her temper can rise if her friends are insulted or looked down upon.

Even with the odd quirks that are very well much present when it comes to Haru she can be oddly serious when faced with a life and death situations and knows how to react accordingly. She knows for a fact that being affiliated with vongola could have consequences for her later on in the future and people would attempt to injure, kidnap or even kill her but she is willing to be with them through thick and thin because her sense of pride is far too great for her to leave them behind. Most would see a naive and innocent girl and while it's true to an extent, it has been shown that she has been the first out of her friends (non fighting ones) to realize that Tsuna was actually associated with the mafia even though she didn't know the details of how serious it was until very much later on.

Haru is also greatly protective of her friends and she wouldn't hesitate to give her life for them or even throw herself into battle if one was injured. She thinks of them as family and people she wants to grow up with and knowing that they could die at any time pains her. That is why for greater or for worse if it came down to saving one person she would let them live rather than herself. While she might not have powers like the rest of the guardians do, Haru is shown to be strong both psychically and mentally more so than the other. This is a key factor in Haru's life that helps her overcome much of the worries that would naturally come with being associated with an organization like the mafia. Her determination to strive and move on forward never seems to waver, not even in the difficult times. It has been stated by Reborn and Tsuna that she shows great characteristics of being a true mafioso.

Despite how she acts and how she might look, Haru in actuality is a very bright and smart person who can handle certain tasks in a breeze if given enough time to solve it. She is the only one out of her group that attends Midori Middle School which is said to be one of the toughest schools to get into. Another certain trait that defines Haru greatly is how selfless she is when it comes to her friends and how she always thinks more about them and how it would affect their relationship in the long run. It's pretty well known by everyone in the entire group that Haru has a giant crush on Tsuna. Haru always talks about one day being a mafia wife and the utterly ridiculous fantasies of what she imagines will happen in the future. She knows though, that Tsuna does not have any feelings for her regardless of the many times that she has confessed and he is only solely focused on Kyoko. It hurts her but Haru has never felt or been spiteful towards the other girl. Her friendship with Kyoko is more important than a boy and it shows that despite the turmoil that might happen because of these conflicting emotions she would always take her friends side rather than let her emotions take over.

Abilities/Powers: Does making costumes count? In all seriousness Haru doesn't really have any definitive skills unlike her mafia friends. She does know some martial arts and is fast on her feet from track but other than that shes as simple as one could get.

Items/Weapons: Her three items will be a sewing kit (that includes balls of yarn, cloth, etc) her diary and a picture frame of her mother.

Sample Entry: [Static is seen over the screen and then it eventually fades away to reveal a young looking brunette who's face is way too close in. After separating some distance a hand reaches up to rub at her cheek as if struggling to come up with something to say.] Ahhh..I hope people can see Haru! This phone looks really old..

Oh anyways, Hello! My name is Haru Miura and it's a pleasure to meet all of you! [A bright smile forms on her face and it's one that would be considered strange because of her current predicament.] This place is a little gloomy for Haru and she doesn't know how she got here but..[She trails off and here is where the video shakes out of focus from her jittery movements.] Hahi! Haru will make the best of it. There is no point in feeling depressed, ne?

Haru has a question and she would greatly appreciate it being answered. Does anyone know if Haru can find a place to eat a slice of cake? Shes craving some!

Sample Entry Two: It had only been a week since Haru had mysteriously woken up only to find that the bed she had been sleeping on previously was not her own. Everything outside was dark and eery and it looked like something out of a horror movie - And for a split second she had assumed someone had played a rather nasty joke on her. She knew this wasn't any prank and the longer she peeked outside the more she got anxious. That was normal though, right? It was normal to feel scared, unsure of this new environment and place. She figured that eventually it would go away. For the first day Haru didn't leave the apartment. Sure she was curious to explore outside, but every time she peeked through the window she felt like something from within the darkness was watching her every move. It was an irritating sensation and she didn't like it.

To pass the time (and as a way to distract herself) Haru had familiarized herself with the new home that she was in. Knowing there were other people living with her and also being in the same situation made her feel oddly better. She had happily introduced herself to them, asked them what was going on and then once she got the information she was looking for returned back to her uncomfortable bed to sleep off the exhaustion of the day. It wasn't soon that the brunette had gathered the courage to leave her apartment and venture outside. There was nothing much to see and she eventually returned back to her apartment out of small fright but she was happy. Happy that she had been able to take a step forward in determination.

"Haru wonders if she will ever be able to go back home.." In her hands was a small pink diary that looked worn out but in great condition. When she opened it up, she idly traced a small picture that she had taped on the inside of her and her father and then another with a thoughtful expression on her face. "Maybe she will! don't you think so too mom?" Her eyes slid over to stare at the small photo-frame that was standing on the small desk besides her bed. A soft smile spread over her face, fingers clutching onto her diary more tightly. "I'm sure Haru will."
