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.

Sample Entry (1st Person POV)

[The Feed turns on to reveal...a pair of dark boots, kicked up on a nearby rock. Those boots connect to a pair of long, grey stocking-covered legs...into a fairly distinct black, white, and yellow costume (complete with bowtie)...and up to a tophat-covered smirk. The owner of said smirk and tophat has obviously made sure she was quite comfortable before presenting herself to the world.]

[Of course, as she eventually lifts the tophat, it becomes clear by the flash of annoyance behind her bright, blue eyes that the smirk--though still very apparent--is meant to be ironic.]

And I thought dealing with insane Chaos Lords and alien tech was bad.

Next time somebody asks what we want to do after saving the world, I'm sticking with Disney World. It's got to be better than this place.

Sample Entry Two (3rd Person POV)

It looked exactly like her dad's tophat.

That fact alone nearly brought her to tears the first time she caught sight of it. It wasn't, of course--further observation revealed that the rim was completely new and warped, and the material inside was wrong. But it looked exactly like her dad's tophat, which is why she'd excused herself the moment she'd gotten it. She wouldn't cry in front of the others. Not even the ones who knew. Not even Robin.

Nearly an hour passed as she sat in her room, alone, analyzing the item. She could sense power, but it wasn't her family's. This power was...different. Foreign. She'd figured out what it could do almost immediately. A pocket dimension, capable of storing most anything. That could come in handy in a place like this. What's more, she could even wear it on her head right into battle. It was a perfect fit, tailored specifically for her head.

The first time she put it on, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her expression was blank. Eyes scanning every inch. The shimmering, black fabric. The satin band wrapped around the base. It matched her uniform in every way, and for a moment, she saw the shadowed image of her father overlapping her reflection. Giovanni's little girl. His protege in just about ever way. She used to hate the comparison. Now? She realized she'd love nothing more than to hear somebody call her that again.

And, for the first time since arriving in this hell-forsaken place, she smiled.

Thank you for applying to Haven.
