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: Jill is level-headed, controlled, and an extremely capable fighter. She has no superhuman abilities, but she’s more than able to handle herself in a tough situation. Working out and training on a regular basis has upped her endurance, which makes her prepared for long and often grueling missions. She’s also extremely good with locks, and has picked more than a few on occasion. ‘The master of unlocking’ is a phrase that comes to mind. She can handle a range of firearms with relative ease.

Jill also has extensive experience in bomb disposal, and her hand-to-hand combat ability is impressive. To make up for her smaller size again male opponents, she favors speed and flexibility. She prefers using kicks and grappling moves over her fists.

Items/Weapons: A lock pick, a lighter and a standard 9mm handgun, nothing special.

Sample Entry: [It’s quiet here, the kind of stillness that raises the hair on the back of your neck. She should know; this is the third time she’s ever felt this way in her life. An empty little town, with empty little streets, and empty little buildings that conceal all of the mindless horrors that should only exist in nightmares. Even now, she was half-expecting to hear the low, guttural snarl of the Tyrant calling out for her blood. There was nothing though—and even when movement seemed to flicker at the corners of her eyes, there was nothing to see.]

[She took a deep breath, and the sound of the safety falling off of her pistol brought her temporary comfort. She might not remember how, exactly, she got here… but one thing is certain—this isn’t Raccoon City.]

Easy, Jilly. [She murmurs to herself just barely, not daring to make enough sound to catch attention. One step at a time. First, she needed to find out what exactly was going on here, and if she can’t locate something useful to bring it back to the other stranded individuals in this town. With that, she slipped down the street, as quiet as a ghost.]

Sample Entry Two: So that was it. Her last escape.

She stared numbly at the white shower walls, numb to the the heat of the water as it soaked her bruised and aching body. It had only been a few hours, but the events that had transpired within Raccoon City still seemed like just a bad dream. Her eyes slid closed, and the sight of the rotting, leering face of her relentless pursuer immediately came to mind. It loomed from every shadow, rasping the name of her team over and over again... that was something that Jill didn’t think she‘d ever forget. She shivered involuntarily at the thought, her eyes snapping open before she cranked the heat up higher.

An entire city of people, dead. She’d put many of them out of their misery, and the rest had been destroyed by the nuke that the government had dropped upon the city. God, how quickly she’d reduced them to little more than cattle in her mind in order to spare her own sanity. Her breath caught in her throat, nails biting into her palms, and Jill felt her stomach twist. It took several deep breaths to calm herself, and she unconsciously grit her teeth at the stinging sensation in her eyes. There would be time for grieving, for remembering all the people that Umbrella had dehumanized and murdered. That time wasn’t now.

Her hands slid over her face for a moment, briefly scrubbing at her eyes before she had steeled herself once more. She had to reach out to Redfield, see if he’d made it out all right. Then she’d see about what exactly she needed to do in order to take down Umbrella for good.
