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: The one word to describe Petunia on sight would simply be: “Adorable." Pretty, cute, and with a rather cheery disposition, Petunia is the kind of person you want to gather in your arms and hug. She's quirky, prone to shouting or over-reacting before she can think first. In chapter 5, upon learning that Todd Allison is being kept in the back, she leaps into action and runs straight for the room, not registering the fact that there are still 4 dangerous, armed men alive. When two of them run out of the room, Petunia's response is to elbow one in the gut and then keep running without a second glance. She also tends to get excited easily, and it doesn’t take much to make her laugh or happy.

Petunia also has shown a very independent streak, determined not to be a nuisance to other and prove that she's capable of living on her own, as indicated by her moving to the other side of Australia to prove to her brothers that she can do it without them. Even her own fear doesn't often stop her from speaking her mind (or rather, blurting things out), as in the few occasions where she shouts at Cyril despite being terrified of him, even going so far as to scold him for either being too reckless or when he’s being a jerk. She even calls him a snake in on instance, and also compares him to a spider and a mouse.

Despite being outwardly sweet and holding quite a few mom-like qualities (chapter 12 can basically be summed up as “Todd Allison and Petunia decide to baby Cyril, as they fuss over his wounds and not eating properly”), there are also clear indications of much darker, hidden depths to her that have not been fully explored. When saving Todd Allison, after being stuck in a room with him and one of the gun-wielding kidnappers, Petunia firmly tells Todd that she’s not afraid and jumps from their hiding place, shouting at the gunman to drop his weapon or she’ll shoot. Though he tries to lecture her that she should know exactly how he feels, Petunia shouts that she doesn’t, and shoots him. Though she looks surprised at herself and sad, she’s not shown to suffer any further side-effects of having killed someone afterwards, suggesting it might not be the first time.

Abilities/Powers: none!

Items/Weapons: her flower hair clip, her favorite hat, and a pistol (no bullets)

Sample Entry: http://hollyheights.dreamwidth.org/334759.html

Sample Entry Two: If there was one thing Petunia had to say she was grateful for she knows that right now the first thing out of her mouth would be "Elijah and Meredith." If it wasn't for her brothers being here with her, Petunia wasn't sure if she'd be able to adjust as well as she was. She missed Hana, and Todd Allison--and even Cyril. But as long as her brothers were here, things would be okay. They'd get through this and be home before they knew it! (Though she couldn't pretend to understand how that would work or if they even could go home).

That's what she'd like to believe, anyhow.

Petunia shook her head, refusing to let the bad feelings creep up on her. No way! It was too nice of a day to bother thinking of depressing things and so, quite firmly, she would have none of it. It didn’t matter that there were whispers of things to come, that it had been quiet for a little too long so something else must be planned soon. She would get through it if only because she knew she had to; failure was not an option and she wouldn’t disappoint or upset her brothers with something like that. Petunia was sure they might think her a burden here, but she had the pistol tucked under her pillow in her room and the resolve to use it. All she needed was the bullets.
