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.

Abilities/Powers:

Durability: Asuka has no real “abilities, for she is only human. However, she is strong enough to withstand most things and hold out on her own. As an Eva pilot, she needs to sync with their Eva in order to pilot, which depends on the pilots mind and the soul of the Eva. If the Eva is damaged, so is the pilot. For example, if the Eva’s arm is ripped off, the pilot will feel as if their arm is ripped off.

Items/Weapons: Seeing that Asuka is not allow to bring her Eva along for the ride, she will bring her A10 nerve clips. They are useless here, however she's quite fond of them and she feels pretty wearing them.

Sample Entry:

Right here!

Sample Entry Two:

It’s been three days since Asuka arrived, three long draining days. Most of her time here, she kept to herself, idling away at the far corner of her room, which she share with six other strangers—all, who she had zero interest to engage in any conservations with. They were all clueless as she was. Her digits fiddle along the touch screen on her phone, as she rested her side up against the wall.

“Fuck.” Her lips murmured, her fingers tapping away at back button. Pushing herself off the wall, she did a little turn, fall back and landed in her bed, back first. Holding the phone up in the air, she continued to play with it. There must have been a reason why she received the phone upon arrival. It has been anything but useful to her. It was a worthless piece of backwards crap, but then again… this whole place was backwards.

Only if she got the phone to work, she could call home and ask for help. Help, huh? The idea of that ate away at her insides. But she had no other choice, she was just better off calling her step mother, Kaji or even Misato to come and take her away from this horrible place. She didn’t do much exploring, seeing she had no desire too. However she has overheard bit and pieces of her roommates speaking of what the environment was like outside. She could hear the fear in their voice, but she brushed it off and written off as if they were just a coward. She didn’t think too much of it. Sooner or later, she knew she would have to check it out for herself but for now, she had to get this phone working. It was her ticket out of here.
Beep!

“Hah! What a clever girl you are, Asuka!” She laughed out, finding the video chat call option finally. “Now to call home.”
