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.

Preferred Apartment: None.

Character Name: James T. Kirk
Canon: Star Trek (Reboot)
Canon Point: After Kirk kicked the shit out of him
Background/History: Kirk according to a ST wiki
Personality:
Jim was used to a fight, and for the moment that is how he would treat this. He had things taken away from him, he had to fight for everything he did. It may have been the chip on his shoulder in his early days, but Star Fleet had refined that. They'd turned his edge into something productive. But for all that they did, James Tiberius Kirk would always be himself.

In this alternate reality, Jim lost his father the day he was born. He grew up in the shadow of the man the was briefly a captain and had saved the lives of an entire crew, including himself and his mother. She moved to Iowa and remarried. He was a tough kid growing up, not taking shit from anyone.

Always a wild child, he grew into a similar man. He liked women and alcohol and was always looking for a fight. Despite his background, he isn't an idiot. He's intelligent, but his own anger and determination to tailspin into the ground left him with little options.

Until he got into the correct bar fight. Christopher Pike sat him down and laid it out to him. He gave him a new option: the stars. He could make something of himself. Pike also used a challenge to hook him. Thing is, James Kirk can't turn down a challenge. It goes along with his high ego. He can do anything, regardless of rules and restrictions.

And he does. He finishes his training in three years and even manages to beat the unbeatable test. Which gains him a hot seat and the attention of Spock, a Vulcan. In the original universe the two were best of friends. Spock was Kirk's second in command, but without this, they seem at odds and things don't exactly work out well for anyone.

The planet Vulcan explodes, leaving Spock a part of an endangered species, and Kirk, not knowing how to handle him, ends up trapped on an ice planet. It's here that the two timelines merge. Spock Prime and Kirk meet, and this Spock tells Kirk of the other time line. That the threat that blew up Vulcan and was going after Earth was the one that created the new time line.

Don't give Kirk determination. That's his motivation. It makes him break all the rules, makes him strive to go beyond anything, and if you're against him, then a charged Kirk can be deadly.

Once he and the Spock he knew start working together, things seem to go better. They work well together. Spock knows logic and is efficient, and Kirk is the raw emotion that drives humans. He constantly pushes, and he sees to it that the mission is completed.

He does have a sense of justice though. His morals may be ambiguous and he certainly doesn't mind breaking the rules, but there is right and wrong. He offers the Romulans a chance, a hand. Even when Spock wouldn't. They refuse it, and he has no qualms about their death for all the destruction they did cause and threatened to cause.

Abilities/Powers:
He's from earth, not given any special powers. He was trained by Starfleet, so he has advanced tactical skills. He's also prone to fighting, so isn't half bad with his fists. He's a fighter and tough, given what he's been through.

Items/Weapons:
✔ Heavy duty coat
✔ Star Fleet Issued Phaser
✔ Star Fleet Issued Communicator (obviously out of range)

Sample Entry:
[It's clear he's just been in some sort of brawl. He's tense and on edge, looking straight into the camera, because if whoever took him is watching, he clearly means business.]

I get it, really. Trapped. Probably some alternate dimension? Well you took the wrong person. This is old news and old tricks. Hell, if the Romulans can do it, you think I'm actually afraid?

[There's a smirk. No more needs to be said. If this is some retaliation, get ready for him to hit back. Bring it on, City.]

Anyone from Star Fleet, report. This is Acting Captain James Kirk. I need a full report as soon as possible.

Sample Entry Two:
He was restless. That was putting it mildly. Kirk needed to get out. It's why he joined Star Fleet. There was a whole freaking universe out there. But now he was trapped in a cage, and he needed to get out. Even if that seemed like an impossibility. His jaw clenched at the thought. There was no such thing.

His only option was to find something to do. McCoy had. But then of course he had. A doctor was always needed. Kirk flopped back on the couch with a piece of paper. 'Marketable Skills' was high lighted on the top.

Kirk marks down 'technology'. This place was in the Stone Ages. But really, that wasn't something he wanted to go into.

'Combat skills' sounded better than 'bar fights'.

He sat back and sighed. He was a damned acting captain. That had to count for something. But he didn't want some desk job. He didn't want to deal with politics. He wanted something different, something that got him in the action, and would keep him from getting bored.

'Cunnilingus'. He smirks before crossing it out. It still counted in his book as a marketable skill. To him.

After the scratch out, he threw the paper on the table and leaned back. McCoy's couch wasn't so bad. He wasn't admitting defeat. He just needed to find something that suited him, not the other way around. As difficult as that was, he just needed a challenge. Once that was all settled, he'd be fine. He wasn't worried. Jim Kirk? Nah.

Even if his foot couldn't stop tapping on the table.

Restless was an understatement.
