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.

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.

Abilities/Powers: Bobby is a mutant. A mutant in the Marvel universe is a person with a genetic mutation, ranging from heterochromia to phasing through walls. Bobby has the mutant ability of freezing. He can turn his entire body into ice as well as freeze other objects, people, and anything with moisture. The ice he makes is very durable and can be formed into any shape he chooses, such as shields, projectiles, or handy paths to travel on. When freezing his own body, Bobby becomes more stronger and durable and is capable of regrowing lost (ice) limbs and changing his size. He can also turn into a liquid and a gas, but both require A LOT of effort. Bobby does very well in extremely cold temperatures thanks to his power. He also has thermal vision.
Items/Weapons: None! He'll only come in with his clothes.
Sample Entry: GONNA LINK THIS thread #1 | thread #2 | thread #3
Sample Entry Two: It had to be another trick.

To be honest, it wasn't as if Bobby hadn't been kidnapped and taken against his will to a shifty place once before. And considering the amount of things he's been through, kidnapping seemed to be on the lower end of the scale. Less impressive, more overused --

Still really creepy. Bobby had bolted the first chance he got, straight through the window and out onto the street. He had slid all the way to the outskirts before slamming into the barrier. It would take at least ten more times of Bobby crashing facefirst into the barrier before he finally got the picture. Okay, magical forcefield, fine. If that's the way they were going to play, then Bobby would just have to beat them at their own game. Except, who exactly was playing? He doubted that any anti-mutant resistance would have kidnapped him and then left him alone in an apartment room. Shouldn't he be tied to a chair? Interrogated? Or at least in a place with bars?

Maybe it wasn't the anti-mutant army that was behind this. But then who?! Bobby inhaled deeply and exhaled ice, freezing part of the building he was facing, before eventually sitting down. He had tired himself out running into invisible walls and he had absolutely nothing to show for it.

"Couldn't they have kidnapped Kitty too? Someone who could at least figure all of this out?" He regretted the words as soon as he said them. If the others weren't here, then that meant they had escaped -- somehow. They were still safe in the caves with the others. But was Bobby safe? He couldn't keep back the crawling feeling of fear, the nerves bundling in his stomach.

"Keep it together, Bobby." He's been through this before, yes, nothing could possibly be worse than the experimentation he'd been through before. But at least he had been with the other X-men back then. No matter what happened, he had never been alone. Ever. And as much as he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't do this on his own. He wasn't smart enough, or strong enough, or, or, no, he had to keep his cool! That's what Scott always said before Bobby would crack some joke about being 'cool'. 'Except Scott's dead', whispers the quietest part of his mind, the one that Bobby usually ignores - and for good reason.

Maybe he wasn't alone! He had woken up in an apartment, he had heard other people before he assumed that they were bad news. Maybe he should just go right back and ask...around. Ask if anyone had seen his friends. Because for all of what Bobby's been through, he couldn't deal with this alone. He had always been a team player. They couldn't possibly expect him to go solo now.
