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:

[Video]

'Who are you...'

[At first,the video feed only slowly pans over nameless, weathered ruins somewhere in Haven West, accompanied by the sound of light, cheerful,carefree female laughter. Even so, there's a small, almost fleeting underscore of sadness to the laughing---it'sa little too soft and low to be laughter stemming from amusement.]

That's quite a common question, don't you think? Not only are we asked this by others, we asks this of ourselves as well. It's such a simple question, and yet...we can never seem to answer it fully, can we? For the most part, when we are asked, 'who are you,' we just answer with our name, and maybe what we do for a living---sometimes even what we are. But we never get into all the details, do we?

[After a while of panning over the ruins, the video feed displays a slender, black-haired girl sitting on a broken building foundation, legs rocking to and fro. Her smile is largely jovial, even a bit playful. She winks.]

But that's okay---sometimes, things are just better left to the imagination, right? So! Who are you all?

...'Who are you,' you ask? [She giggles with a little more gusto this time, her shoulders shaking in her visible amusement.] Why, I'm just a pretty girl passing by.

Sample Entry Two:

Who are you, Suleyman had asked her.

It had been a question that Seth couldn't answer. Not because she didn't know----she knew all too well who, or rather what, she was. In fact, if he were still alive, and fighting alongside her right now as she dashed through the shadowy and desolate subway tunnel, paying no mind to the echoing of the hideous growling and moans that heralded the entrance of the monsters said to lurk here----he would get the answer to his question. For she was a monster now, her eyes blood-red and her fangs gleaming coldly as she grinned menacingly at the pitiful, twisted creatures being shredded apart by her Flames of Sound.

What she wasn't sure of, however, was how exactly he would react to all of this. Would he be terrified? Would he be disgusted? He did, after all, admit to hating her and loving her at the same time. And truth be told, she wouldn't want him to see this side of her. The inner beast. The Krusnik. The part of her that would destroy anyone and anything in her path.

She was not a Terran.

She was not a Methuselah.

Rather...she was something in-between. She could blend in with humans, and she did not have the weaknesses of Methuselah, yet could blend in with them too. She was an anomaly. She belonged to neither race, yet, she fought to protect both. She ruled over both, as Empress, as the Mother of all Methuselah. She sometimes didn't even understand herself. That was why she could not answer his question.

Because the Krusnik in her represented the nothingness, the emptiness in her. She belonged neither with Terrans nor with Methuselah. Her brothers, Cain and Abel, had scattered to the ends of the earth. Her sister Lilith was gone. She had nowhere to go and nowhere to return to.

All she had were her children, her people. Her role as Empress. Even now, in this strange place where none of that even mattered, she still had to fight. To protect the innocent. Failure was not an option.

There seemed to be no end to these disgusting creatures. But Seth would not stop. She refused to. And with that, she raised her swords, ready to kill. Anticipating the bloodshed.

She could feel a twisted sense of excitement blooming within her. And all she could do was smile, as she always did.

Who was she, indeed.
