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.

Abilities/Powers: Normal little girl, but she has crazy-good gun accuracy for her age, if that counts for anything.
Sample Entry: this was a Dear Mun post I did from a slightly earlier canonpoint, if that'll work?
Sample Entry Two: Clementine's been awake for all of five minutes now, most of which has been spent tucked firmly into a bedsheet sort of tent-cocoon, and she's officially 1/2 convinced that she's been kidnapped. It'd probably be more than that, except this doesn't sound like anything she's heard about kidnapping before. Isn't she supposed to have her hands tied together? Isn't a mean man with a gun supposed to be telling her the bad things he's going to do with her family? Clem guesses he'd have to figure out something else to say, though, because she's pretty sure bad things already happened to her family and she doesn't know if the mean man would know to threaten to do bad things to Lee.

Where is Lee? Is he even okay? She's pretty sure she heard him sit down across the room before she fell asleep. He wouldn't have let anyone kidnap her. Not Lee. Did they hurt him to get to her?

That thought's enough to draw her out from under the bedsheet, and she peers warily around the empty room. "Hello?" No reply, but that just seems to give her confidence. "They're gonna be really mad at you, so you should take me back to the house, okay?" ....Still nothing. "Please?" Nada.

Clementine stands up to take a better look around, but she's already pretty sure there's nobody in here at this point, so when she speaks again, it's quieter and a little more dejected. "I said 'please'. That means you're supposed to listen." She knows he's not, though, if it even is a he. Nobody is. She's really just talking to make herself feel better at this point, like with--

Where's her walkie-talkie!? Immediately, Clem's feeling for all the pockets she doesn't have. Then she's back on the bed, digging hastily through the sheets and the pillows and there's still no walkie-talkie. Her brows dip a little, and she swallows hard to ignore the fact that she really is getting kind of scared. Lee doesn't know where she is. Not even she knows where she is. How's he ever going to find her in here?

Congratulations on being accepted, Clementine. You will be living in apartment #3.005, and your tag is character: clementine. Please use this tag when you are the poster of the entry or log, and when you tag into an entry or log, thank you.
