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:
Merem, first and foremost, is a vampire. He possesses high speed, high strength, and high speed regeneration. In return, he must drink the blood of humans to survive.

Secondly, he possesses the ability called “demonization”. What this allows him to do is bring to life creatures from the imagination of others. Whether is is real, fake, or completely contrived; he can bring it to life. These creatures are incapable of killing others or causing any type of destruction since they technically do not exist. However, they can make things “not exist” by dragging them into their plane of existence. In effect, they can kill things. However, these demons are commonly considered good things because they absorb the pains of others due to the imperfection of their existence.

But all things have a downside, and for Merem, he cannot bring creatures from his own imagination to life. Instead, he can only bring creatures from human minds to life. With his dislike of humans, he doesn't want to give them anything so he will never really use this power.

One other thing this power grants him is the ability to speak with animals. That is one thing he does profusely, loving the company of wildlife.

Merem does have four demons of his own to use, each making up a limb on his body.To replace his limbs, Merem was ordered by the Crimson Moon to create creatures that would take their place. So four creatures came into existence. By making them take the place of a missing limb, Merem brings these creatures to life. It should be noted that the creatures respect him and follow his wishes. Merem does not order them around but asks them to complete tasks.

By giving up his right leg, he brings to life the King of the Earth. This huge creature surpasses even Godzilla in size. It's Merem's favorite creature because of it's high attack and defense capability. He wanted it to look like a dog but due to his terrible imagination, it ended up looking more like a whale with legs.

By giving up his left leg, he can bring to life the King of the Sky. This creature floats through the sky but its usage by Merem is actually pretty low. It can take on any creature in a one on one duel but it will die soon after the duel's end. Merem considers it too much of a cost to constantly bring this creature back to life so he rarely uses it.

By giving up his right arm, he can summon Lady Windup. A large robot equipped with weapons fitting for the time period, this is one of Merem's most hated creatures. She is rather stupid and stubborn. If given a complicated order, she will complete the first thing she was told and start random destruction after that. She gets disinterested easily and may just stop in the middle of a task if it isn't enough for her to complete.

By giving up his left arm, he can summon the King of the Rats. This is the only creature that is of normal size and has the intelligence of a human. He is also used by Merem quite frequently. The Rat King has the ability to take any humanoid shape and take any humanoid voice. As such, he spends most of his time looking like a Bishop, being Merem's envoy to the outside world. Under the gaze of a high class magic user or a high ranked religious person, he returns to being a rat due to being spooked. Because he's a rat, the Rat King enjoys cheese and pizza is its favorite food. The Rat King, while it's not supposed to like humans, claims that he will tolerate their presence and help them as long as they keep making pizza.

Items/Weapons: Nooooothing except the clothes on his back.
