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.

Other Characters Played: None
Preferred Apartment: #2.001 (with Tres Iqus)

Character Name: Caterina Sforza aka the Duchess of Milan, the Iron Lady
Canon: Trinity Blood
Canon Point: the end of Mark of the Saint, as she collapses.
Background/History: Wiki article
Personality: Caterina is a strong. This quality is recognized to the point she has been dubbed the "Iron Lady" or "Woman of Steel" by the Vatican. This strength makes her a natural choice to be one of the highest ranked officials in the Vatican. This is not a role she takes lightly. She has proven herself to be very dedicated church official. On more than one occasion when it was a choice between her life and what is best for the Pope and the Church, she chooses the latter without hesitation.

Despite this, Caterina is known, in most cases rumored, to commit acts not approved by her clergymen. This is not out of disloyalty. Caterina will often act this way to preserve the Vatican’s image to the outside world. However, it is not only her loyalty that compels her to do so. Caterina is a vengeful woman. She is out to make the ones who murdered her family, the Orden, pay. In order to do so, she needs the world to see the Vatican in a positive light so they can win allies against the terrorist organization.

In her quest for revenge, she is ruthless. She will sacrifice anyone to destroy them; even the little brother she adores is not spared. She forces him to become Pope in order to secure herself the powerful position she holds today. Caterina is fully aware of what she is doing. She lives in regret with what she has done. She is shown referring to herself as an awful woman in private on more than one occasion in the story.

Although she says this, her actions have contradicted her on many occasions. She has saved many of her agents from hopeless situations by giving them a new life serving her, one of the finest examples being Tres Iqus. It is not strange to see her reassuring her little brother when they are together or holding him when he’s scared or in danger. She has covered up actions of her agents who she felt were doing the right thing (after yelling at them of course).

Caterina is a very human character; neither angel nor devil. She tries to do the right thing by the Vatican and her loved ones but, she is always haunted by the past. This sadly leads her to do many terrible things adding to her tragedy.

Abilities/Powers: Caterina has no powers as she is a normal human being. She does however have a strong set of human abilities. She is a gifted diplomat and leader tasked with keeping the fragile world at peace. She is also incredibly intelligent given the fact she attended a respected university at the age of fourteen and took her position as both Cardinal and Minister of Foreign Affairs at the age of nineteen.

It is also worth noting Caterina is physically weaker than most people since she suffers from collagen disease. She is able to hide this fact through sheer willpower. She ignores her aches and pains to almost an unbelievable point as she is known for going days without sleeping and eating during crises. Only her faithful bodyguard Tres and her physicians are aware of her condition.

Sample Entry: Caterina post Please feel free to look at any of the posts on her tag too since they are all from my Caterina.

Sample Entry Two:
It takes some time, but the sound of the alarm clock accompanied with the morning sun starts to reach Caterina. The latest coughing fit has taken more than its usual toll on her not that the duchess is fully aware of it just yet. It all happened so suddenly; the blood pouring from her mouth onto her fingertips in the middle of deciding the fate of Sister Monica. Sister Monica; the thought of that woman makes her sit up. She has to get out of bed and find Father Tres. He is still awaiting her decision. She does not have time to rest.

It takes a moment for her to realize these are not her quarters. Another one passes as she curses herself. Her room does not have an alarm to wake her. The task of waking her (when she does sleep) falls onto attendants or subordinates in case of emergencies. Even if that changed for whatever reason, it is doubtful she would be left in a strange room like this even in Istavan. Something has gone wrong. A million scenarios pass through her mind as Caterina forces herself to stand and head for the window in hopes of getting an idea of where she may be. Nothing could have prepared her for the sign outside. The name Haven and the couple wearing gas masks were not something found on her world.

Caterina is certain she must be dreaming in a hospital. What other explanation could there be?

The application looks good. However, please make sure to fill out all portions of the application form.

Which three items will Caterina be arriving with?

My apologies! I filled out this application before items were allowed and stupidly never thought to check to see if the application was still the same before submitting.

I would like her to bring her medication, civilian outfit from Judgment Day, and her rosary.
