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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

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.
