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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Personality: Conniving and callous, Wesker is man that's been many things over his 40+ years of life. His enemies just refer to him as an "evil, son of a bitch." Truly, he is an "evil genius" with a healthy dash of megalomania, and a whole lot of power to back up his claims. Despite that, he has played a couple benevolent roles in his time. Perhaps one of his greatest qualities is his uncanny ability to act perfectly like an entirely different person altogether. He has an amazing talent of pulling the wool over people's eyes and getting them to believe in him. This not only can be backed up from the words of former S.T.A.R.S members, but anybody who has ever worked with him. In fact, the only person he has ever been truthful and forthcoming with is William Birkin, a man who had worked with Wesker for over 20 years, side-by-side. Wesker prides himself on his abilities of acting. In that same vein of thought, because of this talent, Wesker is fond of making quick friends with people in high places. He will do whatever he needs to to appease these pawns, short of selling his dignity away. Unfortunately, for them, Albert sees no one as his equal or superior, and therefore, when he becomes tired of the people he is using, he will immediately cut ties with them. This often ends in their death, their downfall, or some violence/subterfuge of some kind. Alliances are nothing to him and can change with a turn of the wind.

Never mind manipulating people into his favor, Albert is also an expert at manipulating chances into his favor. The researcher is as calculating as an individual can come, able to break down monotonous, every-day conversation into how he can use it to his advantage later. Despite what most want to believe, in most situations, Wesker doesn't so much as lie as he uses what's already been given to him and pieces it together differently. During his time as Captain to his S.T.A.R.S team, he was their ally for two, long years, shaping them into the best men and women he could. This, of course, was all so he could get the best test data when he finally pitted them in a proverbial cage-match against monstrosities, but that's neither here nor there. The point is, he did everything in his power to treat them decent and to be a fair Captain to them while he trained them and worked beside them. This is an example of the lengths Wesker will go to, to achieve his own goals. A problem of his is that he plans almost too much. Wesker relies too heavily on human patterns of behavior to be too predictable. He can read people very easily, but at the same time, there are some things that completely escape him because he doesn't expect a person to act in such a way. Knowing too much is, sometimes, a bad thing.

Continuing along in those same lines of reasoning, it can be said Wesker has an amazingly, enormous ego. Which is true, let's not lie to ourselves. Though he can certainly act as if compliments mean nothing to him, secretly, he takes pleasure in knowing he's better than others. In fact, he expects to be better than others in almost every way, but only, in his defense, in the things he actually knows how to do. Then again, Wesker is a man of many talents and abilities, ranging from piloting a few different aircraft, having expert knowledge in a myriad of weapons, being a master of hand-to-hand combat, and even having perfectly neat handwriting. Because of this egotism, Wesker is nothing short of a perfectionist and even has a bit of OCD. If things do not go exactly as he had planned, he has a moment of pure rage, before breaking the situation down to what good he can gain from it. Although, because of his guarded emotions and facial expressions, not many people have been privy to his full-fledged anger. This can only be contributed to his perfectionism; the ability to guard his entire being from people who might try to read what he's thinking or doing. It wouldn't be wise to mistake Wesker for a brat who doesn't know his limits. Wesker knows his limits and just doesn't care; he strives to break them. Never mind, it would be the absolute last mistake you ever make. Albert has enough power and cunning to destroy anybody's life.

Overall, if you knew absolutely nothing about the man, he could come off as charismatic, and even pleasant to speak with. He is quick to use flattery if it will be in his own interest. Unfortunately, if a person annoys him, he is just as quick to add in sarcasm and to belittle them. Wesker is incredibly good at gauging a person’s temperament just from their movements and only a few words. He knows how to act around almost any person, and would be able to charm many people into doing whatever he wishes. Although Wesker is too quick to throw away people, if he believes he cannot use them anymore. He does not strain himself in thinking about how far he can use and abuse others.

Abilities/Powers:

✔ Viral Enhancements (Due to an experimental virus Birkin and Wesker cooked up for Wesker to inject himself with before he was killed, Wesker has gained a couple of superhuman abilities, with, presumably, no drawbacks. This virus keeps his body running despite lack of sleep, food, and water. His eyes are sensitive to light, hence the sunglasses.)
   →Superhuman Strength (ex: Can lift a +200 lb. adult male off their feet using only one hand, with ease. 6-7 steel girders (about 100 lbs each) once fell on top of him, but he merely pushed these aside, with no visible injury. Can crush a human skull with a kick/stomp. Can punch a full-grown adult through their body. Can launch a full-grown adult 10-feet away with only a strike to the chest.)
   →Superhuman Speed (ex: The human eye cannot detect him running, and almost makes it appear as if he’s able to teleport.)
   →Superhuman Biological Makeup (ex: Can heal bullet/stab wounds in a matter of seconds. Wesker received a third-degree burn (loss of skin layers) to the right side of his face, but this wound healed itself within minutes. A RPG to the face does nothing but stun him. Can jump down from many stories up and not break bones. He also has an insanely high pain tolerance.)

✔Expert marksman
✔Master hand-to-hand fighter
✔Capable blade-wielder
✔Knows all the ins-and-outs of the human body and what makes it tick
