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.

A familiar sound is what finally wakes him up. Once a pleasant, soothing rhythm, now it just grates on his nerves. Each drip resounds in his ear, buzzing and booming. That stupid faucet was like torture every morning – nothing but an unpleasant reminder of what he had lost. Water in the sink, water in a glass, water coursing through his veins every minute of every day. There was no escape.

The rush of the faucet grows louder as the seconds pass. "Stop that," he commands to no one in particular, sleepiness slurring his words. Who could possibly be here so early in the morning? One of his good for nothing teammates? Some nameless girl from his entourage who stayed the night for another round of lessons?

No. That was impossible. He hadn't spoken to them in weeks. Seen them, yes, but they ignored him when he called out. It's something he should have expected. What goes around comes back around, after all.

What was he without them? Former champion. Former captain. Former leader. Formerly somebody. Currently nobody.

What were they without him? Happier, probably. Not something he wants to think about, especially not this early in the day.

Annoyance is replaced by surprise as his eyes flutter open at last, only to find that the view is not the ceiling of his apartment, but instead the sun glaring down on him. Blinking away from the light, Tahno rises to his feet, failing to notice the newly-acquired wings on his back. This wasn't any part of Republic City he'd ever seen. And judging by the strange clothes passer-bys were wearing, this wasn't Republic City at all.

While attempting to take it in, he hears the clamor of water once again. A fountain this time. He can feel the bitterness rising within him before he even lays an eye on it.
