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.

Physical: Zohra is an expert at physical combat, both in hand-to-hand and with weaponry. He’s fast on his feet, agile, strong, can take a hit and fight even when exhausted, etc. His weapon of choice, being an assassin, tends to be (potentially poisoned) daggers, whether for close combat or for throwing. Additionally, he can move soundlessly and conceal his presence.
On a non-combat-related note, he's good at other assassin-y things, like picking locks. He can also be quite the actor, to the point where he manages to cough up fake blood with, as far as we know, little preparation.
Magic: Furthermore, Zohra is a very capable mage, worthy of being compared to a magic genius/the Greatest Magician in Roland. As such, his abilities ranges from being able to cast advanced spells to creating magic traps and structures and the like.
The following are a list of Roland spells he can likely use, given his skill level:
• Misumi | (WHAT I SEEK IS THE WATER CLOUD >>> MISUMI ): Creates a large torrent of water.
• Kurenai | (WHAT I SEEK IS BURNING FIELDS >>> KURENAI): Creates a large torrent of fire.
• Kuuri | (WHAT I SEEK IS IRIDESCENT DESTRUCTION >>> KUURI): Creates a destructive beam of light.
• Ante | (WHAT I SEEK IS SILENCE >>> ANTE): Temporarily renders an area soundless.
• Bakushu | (WHAT I SEEK IS THE LIGHT FIELD >>> BAKUSHU): Creates non-destructive light that can be used to form ropes and such.
• Homura | (WHAT I SEEK IS THE CURSE OF FIERY DEPTHS >>> HOMURA): Creates a fireball that can be used either as an attack or for illumination.
• Chigashira | (WHAT I SEEK IS QUAKING FANGS >>> CHIGASHIRA): Summons a massive rock that drills into the ground.
• Karasagi | (WHAT I SEEK IS BRILLIANCE >>> KARASAGI): Creates a fist-sized ball of light for illumination.
• Kuen | (WHAT I SEEK IS THE FALLING FLASH >>> KUEN): Allows the user to fall a large distance safely. Doesn’t necessarily require the invocation.
• Magic traps: He can also create magical traps (e.g. setting a complicated detonating magic structure on a letter that can only be deactivated by undoing the structure).
Items/Weapons: Three concealed daggers, one of which is coated in poison.
Sample Entry: test drive thread.
Sample Entry Two:
It was going to be another day of training, Zohra decided. Or rather, "another day" wasn't quite the best way to put it, considering there were fewer days where he didn't train than when he did. While a part of him realized that it might be fruitless, if he were to return home with all of his practice undone, it didn't sit well with him to simply stop because of that.
"Besides," he muttered, "I'll just have to make up for it back home again."
At the very least, any training done here might come in handy for, well, here. While Zohra felt that Roland was still more dangerous of a place—certainly, the threat was less obvious, but looming far more closely than the one here—it was clear that he couldn't afford to let down his guard. That said, that was also perhaps the wrong way to put it, since it wasn't that he was avoiding danger. Rather, he intended to straight head to it. After all, there was no better training than going up opponents—in this case, the monsters in the subway.
Standing in his apartment room, he clasped on his armour, before checking that all his knives were in place and that all his equipment was fully prepared. Despite it being rather routinely for him, he didn't skimp on anything. An easy way to die was to be unprepared, and he had no intention of letting that be his downfall.
"Talk about a lame way to die..."
He would die of humiliation if Pia ever learned about it, never mind that he would already be dead and Pia wasn't even in Haven (he'd know—and if she did appear, he sincerely hoped that that stupid brat wouldn't be with her).
Checking over everything a second time, he stretched his back and decided that he was ready. To the empty room—
"All right, I'm off!"
Placing one foot on the window frame, he jumped out.
