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.

Personality:

For anyone who meets Noki for the first time - she’ll either come off as an eccentric serial killer, or a very childish little girl. Neither of these impressions are wrong, really! Noki was born and raised to become a killer, thinks of it as nothing more than a game and often plays with her targets like a child would their toys. Even though she is quite skilled at what she was raised to do - she is still a child herself, and it shows.

Noki childishly plays with her enemies, she addresses those closest to her mainly as “big brother”, and “big sister” -- even when there aren’t any real familial ties between them. Anyone who has undergone the same treatment as they had, been born the same way - is automatically regarded as a sibling. Whilst not everyone gets the same sort of title, Noki also refers to Badou ( someone completely unrelated ) in the same manner! Less important and less “fun” others get names like “Mr. Pig”. When told strictly not to do something, she and Luki, her twin sister, decide it’s perfectly fine to do it - as long as they only do it a little! Playing only a little is fine, it’s when it’s no longer a little that it becomes not okay. When she knows to come back, that she’ll get punished otherwise -- Noki decides that the thought of punishment is too much and runs away to stay with someone who definitely does not want her and Luki to be there.

Still, Noki is mature enough to know her limits. She knows that it’s perfectly okay to shoot Heine full of holes because he’ll just regenerate anyway. On the contrary, she knows that it is not okay to play with Nill, someone who is not equipped with the Spine, in that way. There is a large difference between normal humans and those like her, and she acknowledges it. Uses it to her advantage in many occasions as well - because while Heine would love to “play” with them, he definitely would not want to play with Nill close by. Nill also genuinely interests her! Because Nill has wings; she’s a genuine angel, and despite Noki also being the result of genetic alterations, she doesn’t seem too familiar ( or at least, aware of ) with the other sort, the sort that resulted in Nill.

While she does happily play the part of a child ( coloring and doodling those whom she considers close, stopping in the middle of a battle to cry loudly over her prosthetic arm being broken, calling Luki fat for landing before her during a race ), that part of her that screams killer definitely has a noticeable presence.

Even though they’re “owned” by Einstürzen, Luki and Noki do tend to run off to “play” frequently - whether it’s with Heine, or playing a game of bounty hunter. They make a game of it, telling their targets to run because they’re going to play a game of tag with them. Even while it may seem like Noki’s shooting haphazardly whilst chasing her targets -- she’s playing with them, missing on purpose so she can watch them run even more. Because it’s fun, watching her enemies squirm. Just like it’s fun, shooting Heine full of holes and being given the same treatment in return. Really, to her, it’s nothing more than a fun game played between siblings - even if Heine is opposing Einstürzen and going against the plans she’s set in motion.

It should also be noted that, when Noki gets pushed to the edge - she loses all sense of reasoning, becomes nothing more than a beast clawing it’s way out of a dangerous situation -- even if that means clawing out the throats of whomever happens to be close by. However! Given her years of training and building up endurance, Noki doesn’t lose control very often; she’s well accustomed to being ripped into shreds and doesn’t show much of a reaction to it. It take a lot of mental stress to push her that far.

Abilities/Powers:

Noki was created for the sole purpose of being used as a genetic experiment. Born in a test tube, given the Kerberus Spine, and raised in an underground lab -- she’s definitely more skilled than any normal girl her age.

With the Kerberus Spine attached to the back of her neck, she has enhanced speed, strength, and heals from most wounds within seconds. She can easily handle being shot multiple times, slashed up, and can even regenerate a limb if it’s lost. It does still hurt, of course! But because of how often she does find herself full of bullet holes and large gashes, her tolerance for pain is rather high also. Shooting her through the head is still an effective way to kill her, though! I mean, if someone really wanted to.

Her left arm is a prosthetic, which can transform into a very large gun whenever she wants it to. Unnnlike the rest of her, this part is prone to breaking and it’s doubtful whether or not she can mend it.

She’s very skilled at fighting, too! Hand to hand, with weapons, with one arm ripped to shreds -- with most her body ripped to shreds - Noki’ll keep fighting until the end. Unless, of course, her prosthetic arm is ripped to shreds and she’s under threat of making one of her superiors angry. She’s not as good on her feet as some - but Noki is fast and very durable.

Items/Weapons: Noki will be arriving with nothing but herself and the clothes on her back!

Sample Entry: meme thread. ( same.. person... just decided to switch accounts. )

Sample Entry Two:

Waking up in a new area didn't bother her at all. It was different, weird definitely - but it wasn't the worst place she has ever woken up in. It didn't look that bad, even if it was very run down; there's lots of room to play, and many to play with and really, she can't argue with that. Even if her clothes kept getting full of holes and needed mending near-constantly, she could live with that.

What Noki couldn't live with was being here without Luki. She and Luki should have never been separated, they were meant to be together, forever. They were the Hardcore Twins, trailing blood behind them wherever they went. Without Luki, Noki wasn't whole. It was hard to enjoy all the games that were played here without Luki; leaving bloody messes behind without her wasn't nearly as fun as it was when she was with her. It was discouraging, made everything twice as boring.

Even so, there were ways to keep mildly amused, Noki had learned that fast enough. Down in the tunnel, there were plenty of things to play with that she wouldn't get punished for killing. She could play down here to her heart's content - and it was even more fun when she decided not to use her weapon. Playing while handicapped always made it more exciting. There were few things down here that really caught her off guard, now. The few times she found something that could, it excited her even more. A large gash in her side caused by some headless nurse, almost losing a leg to some thing with scissors; it wasn't terribly painful, and she made sure to guard her prosthetic arm, just in case something tried to go after that! As long as that didn't break, it was all in good fun.

After all, this was what she was built for. Endless combat, fighting and killing - it was in her blood, written into every cell of her body. If there was anything that could take her mind off the loss of her sister, anything that could keep her ( albeit temporarily ) amused, it was this.
