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: Post from Route 29

Sample Entry Two: Wally has literally never been so hungry in his life. He could honestly eat an elephant—possibly the entire Savannah—and still be hungry. It's gotten to the point where it hurts to be this hungry, like something is tearing open his stomach from the inside, and he thinks he might be dying or something painfully similar to it. The fatigue and dizziness certainly aren't helping. He can't even run anymore, not unless he wants to pass out immediately, and that's way too dangerous in a place like this. It's kill or be killed, and if he can't rely on his speed anymore, he's got to at least be able to have enough energy to fight properly hand-to-hand or with a weapon.

Of course, he hasn't actually spoken to Robin about any of this, been playing it off like it's nothing—and, to be honest, Robin probably already knows—but he isn't ready to admit that something is seriously not okay with him. He needs time to mentally prepare himself for the conversation that might very well end in "Dude, I think I'm dying."

He's honestly never regretted doing that experiment more in his life—and that's something he never thought he'd say ever. That experiment was the best thing that happened to him when he was thirteen and thought he was invincible. Now he feels the exact opposite of invincible and he hates it. He hates feeling this vulnerable, but there isn't much he can do about it. A shortage is still a shortage and his accelerated metabolism isn't going to change that.

Maybe there's something for the pain, at least, something that can make him forget about the hunger for a while. Just a little while. He'll be fine if he can just hold out a little longer, right?

Thank you for applying to Haven.
Your application is in the queue and will be processed on April 12th.

We would like to request a revision for the first person sample, please. The reason for this is that the link for a sample provided is friends-locked and we cannot view it.

We apologize for the inconvenience. You have one week to reply to these revisions, thank you.

fhlsdgkj MY BAD I forgot I locked it! It's unlocked now, if I can still use it. Otherwise, I can always write a new one! Sorry about that!

Congratulations on being accepted, Wally West. You will be living in apartment #1.006, and your tag is character: wally west. Please use this tag when you are the poster of the entry or log, and when you tag into an entry or log, thank you.
