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:

[A simple phone message is all this is. No video, there's no need to let these people see his face, now, is there? Having been in this... place... for several hours now, Togami has pieced together enough information, and it's time to break his silence.]

To those responsible for my being here, I have a message for you.

[He pauses after saying this. Whether they would listen or not, he would give the people in charge of this game time to hear him.]

You have made a grave mistake in bringing me here. I would not be in the mood to play this idiotic game on any day, and in bringing me to this kind of place after where I was before, I have no interest in delaying the inevitable.

[Another pause. He'd let this sink in.]

You will be defeated. You will be destroyed. You have let me live and set me free to work, and I will dedicate myself to ending you. You, and any that assist, cooperate, or in any way sympathize with you, will be ground into the dust until history has forgotten your name. It's too late to apologize: you have dug your grave, and now you will lie in it.

That is all.

[And with that, he hangs up. The message is clear, and he has had his first move. Now, it was time to see what the opposition would do.]

Sample Entry Two:

Scavenging for food wasn't a very dignified task. Being a high class, elite person like he was, Togami wasn't used to preparing his own meals very often, let alone needing to dig through filthy shops undoubtedly swarming with vermin in order to find said meals. In the weeks prior to arriving in this dump of a city, he'd at least learned the basics of cooking for himself, but compared to what he had to do now, finding sustenance in Hope's Peak Academy was a walk in the park on a clear day without a soul to bother him.

Sifting through debris and empty containers, Togami used his hands more than his eyes as he delicately searched for something edible. There could be any number of sharp and potentially deadly objects in there, disease was a principle concern, and he took great care to go slowly. His hand grazed something heavy, heavy and cylindrical, and he wrapped his fingers around it quickly and pulled it out. A satisfied grin grew across his face to see his prize: a whole can of beef chunks in gravy. It was terrible food, undoubtedly unhealthy as it got and with a taste that a refined palate like his own would find objectable, but it was food. Better than food, it was meat, and meat was a luxury as far as he'd seen in his brief time in Haven. If nothing else, he could trade it to one of the more carnivorous in town for something more palatable.

Stuffing the can in a pocket, he headed out the door and kept his eyes and ears open as he headed toward home. There hadn't yet been an attack on his person, but supplies were scarce here, he knew that, and a desperate or lazy person might decide that preying on the weak would be the easiest way to build up. They would find Togami was no weakling, but he was still in no hurry at all to invite a fight. No... there would be plenty of fighting later, hopefully with loyal subjects to do the heavy work for him, all in due time. Hurrying home, he went over his plans once more, grand and sweeping, all interconnected and all with contingincies, just in case.

Haven was a mystery, and it was a challenge. Byakuya Togami would rise to that challenge, so help him. Whoever brought him here, they would not bring him down.
