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 [community profile] haventest which is continuously open. Posts there may be used in lieu of a sample in the application.

Personality: 
Souzou, at his core, holds a very abrasive personality and refuses to acknowledge others as anything but little bits in the game of his life. However, due to his observational skills, he comes off as a very kind, caring, but somewhat stiff person when he actually interacts with people. He will only show his real self to those who earn his trust, and to earn his trust is to earn his respect. Both are very difficult tasks, considering he holds no value in other humans whatsoever. When someone manages to get him to actually speak to them, he is very polite and oddly longwinded. He is very good at imitating and guessing the patterns of regular human interactions, but still has a lot of flaws, evidenced by said stiffness and longwindedness. He attempts at playfulness but isn't super great at it. Of course, he thinks his jokes are funny, however! He is very quick to judge others and, of course, holds a huge superiority complex. He is also very soft spoken, preferring to stay completely silent when there are no others around. He is quick to state his dislikes when its not socially harmful, such as, he would openly detest the tastes of sweets if placed before him.

He sees himself as one of the few people worthy of living - He knows he is handsome, brilliant and charming and uses these things to his advantage. Because of this veritable God complex, he cannot see his own many flaws. He is easily sick, physically weak, and though intelligent not half as intelligent as he sees himself. He is also a very dominant person, easily able to use his charms and force to have most people do exactly what he wishes. When pushed against a wall, however, Souzou becomes cowardly and unable to admit defeat. He shows his fear until the opposition backs off, then comes at them with all he has, be it fair play or not. He is not above using his wealth to do immoral things, such as send out a hit on someone who dare even spell his name incorrectly. 

His only motivation in life has been fear of death and enjoyment of instant gratification. Later on, his only motivation was revenge and enjoyment of said revenge against Kibougamine students and his family. For a reason he cannot understand, he finds himself unable to bring any harm about his family, despite his discontent for them. He has a deep-seated affection of them that he cannot recognize or understand. He is incapable of feelings of empathy, but he has not realized yet that this does not mean he is incapable of affection or love. It is simply a super duper rare experience and one he can only seem to convey by way of obsession. The only people he has been able to experience this sort of strange affection for, on a much smaller scale than for that of his family, have been the very few who have been able to impress him and earn his respect and acknowledgement. So far these few people have only been old dictators and one Enoshima girl - He spends a lot of his time when he's not gaming researching those he has his twisted infatuations with.

He has no particular religious beliefs, but despite his standoffish nature, he has no issue with them either. he thinks of the world as a hopeless place and feels envy for those who can choose to believe in a higher power and that when this life ends a better one awaits them. His only reason for not being able to do so himself has been that he thinks himself too intelligent to believe in such things. His family were always very religious, and he too as a child was - The topic simply exasperates him now. He will choose to avoid it if it were to come up. He also holds no vision of a future for himself or anyone else, simply living day to day without much reason or planning. He rarely knows the time or date as they are of no consequence to him. 

Souzou also has some bad habits such as chewing his nails, not caring much for his looks (he rarely dresses or brushes his hair unless he's had his bi-daily shower), and has a deep fear of bloodsucking insects.
Abilities/Powers:
By way of physicality, Souzou is below average. When it comes to his intellect, however, he's a very sharp thinker and master of tactics. In addition he has very fast reflexes, thanks to the frequency in which he plays video games. He is also very good at predicting the actions of others due to how heavily he studies the NPCs in his games in order to take them down in the most efficient way. He thinks in data and stats, seeing living beings just the same as his pixelated opponents and regarding their value equally as much.
Items/Weapons: A big thick blanket, his glasses, his contacts.
Sample Entry: 
(Edited from a previous log on a different website that it'd be impossible to link unfortunately! Bolded parts are minimally edited bits of another RPer's work that I take no credit for!)
[Thief came online]
Thief: Greetings.
[An IM noise? Had he finally appeared on their chat lists? Well, no matter. The young man switched off the gaming device in his hands and opened the top of his computer, summoning the chat menu.]
Hm? [The Thief? What could he want? Such a simple greeting, but it had H’s head swimming with curiosity.]
H: Good afternoon.
H: To what do I owe the occasion?
[He addressed it simply, folding his hands on the desk before him in wait.]
Thief: Nothing special really.
Thief: I just thought it polite to finally meet the guy who saved everybody’s life during the trial in person.
Thief: As well as to thank you of course, considering I was the main suspect at one point in the trial.
Thief: Do you have a name other than H? Or is it also forbidden for you to tell us that?
[For a crook, this guy seemed oddly formal. It caught him a little off guard, not that it showed through his typing.]
H: You’re welcome.
H: As for my name, it’s really not a big secret… Monokuma had just wanted me to be mysterious for the first Trial. 
H: It’s Hatarai Souzou. I prefer to be addressed by my family name… My mother was the only person who called me Souzou and I would like to keep it that way until I meet a lover. 
[That had sounded somewhat harsh… H made one last addition before giving the other a chance to type.]
H: Lol. :D
[Yes, perfect. That was the epitome of friendly. Nailed it.]
Sample Entry Two: 
[As a knock was heard from the other side of the dorm room he had occupied as H, the male's voice came through the pine firmly. He refused to open to door at this time - Not without knowing who had wished to join him.]
Excuse me, which Student are you? [it asked calmly before opening the door hesitantly to peek. Dark coloured optics scanned the boy’s features before he said with finality] Ah, Bad Luck. You’ve found my room first.
 
[The figure behind the door opened it enough for the other to slip in and closed it as soon as he did, sitting beside it with the sheets of his bed pulled tightly over his head and held fast at his chin. His stature was slender and tellingly male as he stood, flicking the blankets back onto the bed.]
 
I’ve been… Sleeping there by the door in case someone knocked. Ever since the trial, that is. I knew someone would find me up here. [Though he seemed to have a polite disposition, his voice was oddly firm and harsh. Though he was rambling, it seemed he wasn’t quite the type for small talk at all. He took a seat on the floor by a circular tea table cluttered with video game cases and a few different wireless console controllers.]
 
Sit. [he instructed with a welcoming gesture before pouring him and his comrade a small tumbler of the hot drink. His eyes darted to a paused game on a small television to his side.] Where did that remote go, then…? ...Probably in  the sheets. 
 
[He sighed gently before turning back to his guest and the tea, lifting it to his lips to drink.]
 
What could I help you with? Did the others send you to gauge my hostility? Or perhaps you’ve come to tell me I was rude at the trial, haven’t you? I apologize. I should probably seek out the S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G boy and A-P-O-L-O-G-I-Z-E. [Hatarai chuckled in a surprisingly good natured way, his sleepy smile returning to scan the male before him.] I’m a big boy. I can take it.
