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: Here!

Sample Entry Two: The train gave a whistle as Alice sat down next to him. He smiled at her, and her heart stuttered; she smiled back, and he laughed. The last year had been tough on the both of them, their journey taking them from China to Europe to above the very Earth they stood together to protect; it was journey neither would ever forget.

They didn't say a word to one another as the train began to depart, instead their eyes were glued to the window as the world around them began to rush on past. Alice met Yuri on a train, but back then there was nothing between them--she was just the damsel in distress, and he just the rude hero that rushed in to save her--it almost broke her heart to know that their time together could end any minute.

I did it to save him. It took everything in her to keep the curse at bay, to keep breathing, but as time passed, it got harder and harder. Alice could feel herself dying, but she had kept on for him. She gave a quiet sigh, leaning against him. Her turned his head slightly, and she looked up. He smiled, and she returned it.

If only this moment could last forever. But it was starting to get hard to keep her eyes open. Neither of them had gotten much sleep since the Meta-God's destruction, too busy celebrating, too busy saying good-bye to their companions, and the trains rhythm was akin to a lullaby after all that, but Alice didn't want to sleep, not when she knew it may last forever.

I'll close them for just a moment.

Alice's eyes slid shut, her breathing slowed, and that moment lasted forever.

A change in Haven's rules regarding items has been made. This means characters are now allowed to bring up to three items (including weapons) into Haven with them. More details can be found on the Rules and FAQ page.

Before your application can be processed, please complete the following question. Thank you for your compliance, and I apologize for the inconvenience.

Items: Which three items/weapons will you character be arriving with?

Would it be possible for Alice to arrive with her Holy Book of Flesh if all writing inside just vanished upon arrival?

Yes, as long as the pages and cover were both blank of writing, that would be fine.

Would you like to request any other items?

In that case, I'd like Alice to arrive with a blank Holy Book of Flesh, a small handful of mana root (restores mp), and a small handful of thera root (restores hp)!

Congratulations on being accepted, Alice Elliot. You will be living in apartment #2.004, and your tag is character: alice elliot. 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.
