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:

[ She assumes she’s in flow at first. It’s not an unreasonable conclusion to jump to; after all, the room she’s in is almost identical to those in the apartments back there.

But there is, of course, the matter of her not remembering how the hell she got here.

She sits up, feeling her senses return to her, when she notices the phone beside her.

Normally, she would just disregard the item. Like most things, phones are completely useless to her in flow. And yet, upon looking out the window and taking in the decaying ruins of the city, something tells her she isn’t there after all. It’s too structured, too organized to be a part of the chaos that is flow.

Sabitsuki turns the phone over in her hand. It’s laughably aged, but functional. She dares not venture outside of the room, but she can’t just linger in an unfamiliar environment; even she knows that.

She purses her lips; her throat tightens. She has no choice. Her voice is quiet and cracked, having fallen into disuse after barricading herself from the outside world for so long. ]

Can you hear me?

...There are humans here, right? Or am I alone?

[ She pauses before heaving a raspy sigh. ]

This is a waste of time.

If someone is listening, I want to know if I - we’re in flow right now. I’ll be here.

[ She hesitates for a moment before ending whatever transmission that might have been. It could’ve been an exercise in futility as far as she knows, but she’ll do what she must. ]

Sample Entry Two:

Her hand hovers above the doorknob, shaking violently despite her attempts to remain composed. She can’t be in flow; the heady and removed dreamlike quality to the air is not here. As far as Sabitsuki is concerned, she won’t be able to sufficiently survive if she continues to linger in this dark, dismal room.

She can’t remember the last time she left her room.

“Ah…” she mutters, wincing at the thought of dealing with everything that the outside world entailed. After a certain point, fighting monsters becomes easier than talking to people.

Miraculously, she summons the courage to open the door and take a step out. Her other hand tightens its grip on the iron pipe that had somehow followed her here.

She walks slowly down the halls and staircases, noting the gritty quality of everything from the floor to the ceiling. It’s nothing new to her, but the feeling of stark realness is what is beginning to unsettle her as she ventures further and further away from her new room.

After some twists and turns, she finally makes her way outside, coughing profusely at the sudden assault of fresh (in the loosest definition of the word) air on her senses.

Her desire to understand what the hell is going on eclipses her panic at being removed from the shelter and the safety of her own room. It’s not too much of a shock, she tells herself, as the immediate area is terribly reminiscent of the apartment complex in flow. But there is that nagging feeling, that sensation that she is being watched...

She glances up at the towering billboard that seems to loom over the entire area.

IN HAVEN, WE ARE ALL SAFE...TOGETHER.

“Safe…?”

Sabitsuki absentmindedly swings her pipe as she surveys the decaying city.

“Safe” indeed.
