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.

Abilities/Powers: Glenn is a normal person in a world not unlike our own. He has many small skills that an average person would have, but he is first and foremost a supply runner. That means he is quick on his feet, can plan out his escape routes quickly and is good at hiding. He's good at finding useful items such as guns, food, or medication. Glenn is also a jack of all trades, as he can do basic car mechanics, shoot a gun, using blunt weapons, and being a scout. He's intelligent, agile, and faster than the normal person due to his background and experiences.

Though it is alluded to and not confirmed in the first season, Glenn, along with everyone in his canon, is a carrier of his world’s zombie virus. It may not be a power or ability, but it’s something to be noted. While alive, this has no effects; the virus stays dormant or inactive within the body. But when he dies, Glenn will turn into a Walker. What this means is that his body will reanimate
without higher brain function, and will not stop until there is enough damage done to the brain to severe its signals to the decaying body.

As a Walker, his bite is dangerous. Bites transfer some kind of bacterial infection that spreads through the victim, causing sweating, fever, and eventually death. It is unknown if those bites spread the virus, since everyone in canon is already infected.

Sample Entry: Hey, guys?

[He doesn't sound happy. He's talking quickly, panicked even, for all that he's trying to keep his voice light]

I don't remember staying in any apartment, and I don't remember leaving the RV. Anyone else know what's going on?

[He takes a moment to glance out the window.]

Okay, I get this is supposed to be called Haven. Nice joke; I like the gas masks especially. I mean, you never know when you might need gas masks in a safe place.

But really, what's going on, and how come we have electricity?

Sample Entry Two: He could feel the fluttering in his stomach again. Nerves of course; it was always nerves. But he didn't think anything of it; he merely peered out to view what was outside. It looked like a sea of geeks; walkers, zombies, the undead, whatever people wanted to call them. They were outside of the door he had been planning to use for escape.

For a moment, he had to close his eyes, thinking. His stomach cramped. He was tempted to throw up out of pure nerves; then he steadied. There was a way; there was always a way to get out.

Glenn took one last glance to the door, ensuring that it was locked, he left it behind, the map of the building coming up in his mind. There were some other exits; he just had to find it. He adjusted his backpack, and headed the opposite direction, going upstairs.

He kept moving, up, up to the roof. Nothing here, and nothing to worry about. He nodded to himself, and started off to the other side of the roof, checking to see if there was anyone, anything on the other side. Nothing; Glenn could move freely. With a silent sigh of relief, he moved towards the next building, knowing there was a ladder on the other side. Perfect start to an escape, with more supplies. Maybe he could enjoy something better than squirrels and mushrooms breakfast as a reward.
