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:
A musebox thread. Dialog occur later in the thread.
Sample Entry Two:
It is simply one of those moments where the fires seem much too hot to handle. The fire has fed on too many corpses, and it blazes with both radioactive decay and the crackling of flesh. And she? She must tend this nuclear furnace- quite the task for someone who other Youkai only deem as 'bird-brained'. But what she lacks in intelligence she makes up with experience and with pure power. The primordial power to create and destroy, the same power that threatens to consume her from the inside out. She breathes it, she consumes it, lives for it. If only she could have the entire world full of this energy, if only--

No. She... must keep those she cares for close. They would not withstand this power of the stars, so she must keep the metaphorical lid always tightened.

Black wings extend, beat once, and she flies off, effortlessly dodging the corona of the subterranean flames. If she had pure white wings and if the fire had been water- she would appear as graceful as any swan dancing on the surface of a pond. Fingers dip into molten ground and melted magic, skimming and drawing patterns of light over the area. She marks a particular patch of excessive fusion activity. A subterranean sunspot. As she is now, she cannot stop the energy itself, but she knows how to channel it- to release it into the above ground realm. It's either that or risk damage to her home in the Underworld.

And that she would not allow by any circumstance.

The energy releases. As a result, a long-dormant volcano erupts above ground.

Thank you for applying to Haven.
Your application is in the queue and will be processed on July 19th.

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.

NOTE: Concerning Utsuho’s nuclear abilities, her passive radioactivity will be reduced so that she poses no threat to her roommates through her simple presence.

This is the journal I'll be using.
