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.

Character Name: C-ta
Canon: Shuuen no Shiori
Canon Point: Right before he gets killed
Background/History:

The rumor that came from an unknown place, the Book and Bookmark of Demise. Two supernatural objects that worked together; a book filled with urban legends that would come to life wherever the bookmark was placed. Ten years ago, four students had played the game that is part of the Book's ritual only to meet a grisly end- their deaths. Now, thanks to one student, another group of students are about to repeat the same fate. Four students that are itching to escape the mundane lifestyle begin to summon a spirit, Kokkuri-san...only to be place their lives at risk in the worst Demise game of them all.

Follow Kokkuri-san's demands in a week. If not, they'll die. If they tell anyone else, that person will die. There was one more catch too; amongst the four of them was a fox, a traitor. To kill them would mean the end of the game...but if you killed the wrong one, well. It goes without saying, right?

C-ta is, undoubtedly, one of the four students seeking to escape the everyday boredom. To say that he's had an interesting history would be a lie for he hasn't. Having been friends with the main character since childhood, he's had a relatively normal upbringing. He's part of the occults club that him, his friend, and two others participate in, satisfying his boredom with the rumours that they share. He's not popular, but not unliked either, passing right between both lines. Now stuck in a game that puts his friend at risk and the suspicion that his friend isn't his actually his friend but the fox, he is willing to do all it takes to finish the game and return to the normal life that he used to lead.

For more info on his chapter, it's here.
