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: [ Spock has not been as observant as typically known for him as he is still working on stuffing down the panic and regaining control of logic. He has done a few routine checks, however. He looks for signs of native life and observes the planet’s vitals he has awoken on as he continues to walk the ruins of what seem to be an academy.

His communicator is not working, Spock noticed this first, and this technology he found on his person is very dated. It is so dated, in fact, that it is impossible to find any longer. This leads him to believe he has warped into an entirely different timeline.

When he speaks, he sounds calm and articulates with authority. Rest assured, this is certainly not the case. ]

Greetings fellow inhabitants,

I am Spock of the U.S.S. Enterprise from the stardate 2259.

It is my understanding that many of us have arrived here without notice or knowledge of how. My desire is to recruit efforts in re-establishing ourselves back to our appropriate time and place.

To do this, I require information gathered by those who have resided here prior to my arrival. In return, I will supply information upon your request. Please know that anything you wish to share with me may be done so in confidence.

Your cooperation -- and any assistance -- is appreciated.

Sample Entry Two: His eyes shoot awake to the sound of alarms-- this was not a sound he was accustomed to. At first, Spock considered it red alert. No. No, this was different. Spock’s body was quick to rise to it’s feet. He felt a panic, he felt a pain, a hurt, a sadness, and a deep ache that he could not yet explain until full consciousness took over him and he quickly concluded that he was not where he once was. This view is nothing he had seen before. This looked like no other planet he had been to before.

Spock turns his head to gaze over the occupants with a sharp eye. He had concluded through quick observance that there was nothing threatening to those who currently reside in this room with him; nothing immediate. So, hammering his emotions down, he starts to consider options and sort thoughts with a small pace-- his hands behind his back. This must have been Khan’s doing. Khan survived as Spock predicted he might. With a portable transwarp device on his person, he might be capable of beaming a target rather than himself.

So what could he do? In these thoughts, his mind reverted back to the past point before this one. His captain is dying and he is not there for him. His captain is dying and he is not there for him. This thought, this pain -- it radiates through him in such an uncontrollable way that he struggles to remain calm, rational, and think past this unexpected change. A twitch in his fingers as he turned on the ball of his foot once more and then stopped. He needed to move away from people that might be innocent, unsuspecting, and undeserving of his lack in control. This was logical. He could not predict what he might do if someone says or does the wrong thing. He is compromised.

Spock moves quickly and swiftly after both acknowledging and excusing himself from the company of those around him with a short and polite nod. Not a word yet spoken.

Thank you for applying to Haven.
