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.

Background/History:
the canon
series summary
There's not much else to say about the series aside from that, especially where Toru is concerned. Little is known about his background except that he was a classmate of some of the other main characters in elementary and middle school. At first he seems like an antagonist as he sees Miyamura as a rival for Hori. But he's rejected and it turns out he's just a big friendly loser. He becomes close friends with Miyamura and Hori, even though the latter keeps him at a distance much to his dismay. Most recently, he's started to take notice of another of the characters named Sakura. She seems to have a crush on him but he's still a little too wrapped up in Hori to notice. Since he doesn't actively pursue Hori (and knows that there's something going on with her and Miyamura), it's safe to say that something may come of this development!
Previous Game History: N/A
Personality:
Toru is fairly easy to figure out and perhaps that's just the curse of being a side character in a romcom manga. He is tall, handsome, and pretty popular, although personally his sights are only set on one girl. Because she's rather popular herself (and the title character of the manga), you would think he wouldn't be surprised when he gets rejected by her. However it seems that that moment shatters his entire world and he's forced to accept his place as the loser best friend instead.

Generally Toru is actually really nice even if he can come off as a little obnoxious. He's always getting made fun of by his former classmates and childhood friends but he doesn't seem to mind since he can just dish it right back. He can be a bit dramatic too, showing huge ups and downs. For example when Miyamura is sick in bed and keeps trying to get up, Toru threatens not to be his friend anymore if he tries again (this tactic works). Also when he's rejected by Hori and Miyamura unwittingly says something about it, he runs away crying, complete with tears and shoujo sparkles.

He isn't the best of students, as it's shown he and Miyamura both get embarrassingly low scores on their papers. What's worse is that while Miyamura is at least good at sports, Toru gets pretty average scores there as well. In a way, it's good for the two of them because it strengthens their strange bond. Once, in order to protect Miyamura's tattoo secret, Toru tells the others that Miyamura's on his period. For some reason, everyone buys it. It may seem silly or even stupid, but it goes to show how quickly the two boys become close friends. They're often exchanging rude comments at one another but in the end, Toru has no intentions of betraying Miyamura's secret and actually becomes very concerned with his situation. Not out of jealousy, but as a genuine friend. The first time he and Miyamura actually fight, it's because of this concern. Perhaps Toru merely took it too far, which he is prone to doing.

Despite his silly, teasing attitude, Toru is helpful and kind. He looks out for Hori and Miyamura and does not genuinely seem to be poorly affected by his rejection (despite how he acts). Yes it hurt but he knows it's not the end for him. He will also lend a hand naturally if the situation calls for it, such as the first moment he really has with Sakura, where she drops papers everywhere and he comes to her aid without question.

He may be a device for comic relief but he is a strong character in his own right, with goals and ambitions and maybe even a future romance in the works. Toru is the token friend that is relatable and endearing. He's the type of friend anyone would want at their side, whether they realize it immediately or not.

Abilities/Powers: Horimiya is a slice-of-life shoujo romance manga. Therefore Toru is just an average human being. Actually he's a little below average, as his grades aren't that good and he doesn't even seem to be good at sports. Poor guy ...

Items/Weapons: His cellphone and his clothes only. He doesn't have anything else of interest...

Sample Entry: a thread! mildly nsfw but nothing too bad, especially in the first half.

Sample Entry Two:
Of course, it's pretty normal for Toru to be waking up in a bed via alarm. He's a high school student, right? Except he didn't even really remember going to bed. Weren't they just at school? He groaned, eyes blinking open groggily. Really he only got a fuzzy view of the dark room and then yawned, turning over on one side to attempt to gain back the sleep he felt had been rudely taken from him.

Then it hit him. That the room was dark was no surprise, but he was pretty sure he saw ... lumps! Lumps of people! He didn't share a room with anyone! With a start, he shot up in bed, tossing the cover down and rubbing his eyes quickly. It was no mistake, there was a bunch of random guys in beds just like him! This was messed up. Too messed up to be something like a surprise school trip or anything like that. Still, the idea of familiarity keeps anyone calm, right? He decided that he may as well test the waters ... see if he was truly alone in what may be an elaborate and perverse kidnapping scheme.

"Miyamura ..." He whispered quietly, peering out into the room. He wasn't sure if any of the others were really awake yet. "Miyamura!!" A little louder. There's still no answer. He wouldn't be messing with Toru right? With a sigh, he drops his arms against the bed, barely brushing against the screen of his cellphone. Might as well try to text and see if anyone replied ...
But there's no signal. Things just turned about ten times more horror film and that's about ten times too much for him.
