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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Sample Entry: [ the feed comes to life, and images flicker; the sky, dilapidated buildings, black leather, and then his face. he doesn't straighten up, doesn't fix the angle of the camera--he doesn't care enough to bother. he glares, something fierce, but there's fear there, too, and confusion. and maybe, just maybe, a hint of pure panic. his teeth are clenched tight as he leans in close to the phone, as if searching for something, before he lets out a wavering laugh. it's sad. it's frightening. it's unstable. ]

You took Her. [ The teenager in the video seems on the verge of tears--of anger, or sadness, it would be hard to tell. He shakes his head, expression manic. Kadaj had no idea who took Her, or how, but he knew. The box was empty, light, and the crack showed nothing but darkness. It hurt. ] I will find Her again, [ Desperate. It was clear he was desperate, and angry, and violent. ] but first, I will find you.

[ He lets his words soak in before he offers a wicked grin, one that promised pain, as he ends the feed. ]

Sample Entry Two: The motorcycle purred beneath him as he sped up, tires wailing as he turned a tight corner; a part of him loved how quickly the world went by, like he was leaving it all behind. It was a feeling he could relish, one that wasn't overcome by the urge and necessity to find Her. It didn't help him forget, but it helped him withstand the pressure and fear that came with his responsibility. It helped.

The bike came to a roaring halt, and Kadaj vaulted off. His fingers itched, and he could feel himself closing in. Mother was somewhere, somewhere in this vast world, and he was closing in on her location. He gazed up at the lodge--those ShinRa lapdogs gave away the location with enough poking and prodding--and grinned; this was where they brought Her. This was it.

It'd hardly been two weeks, but he was already so close he could feel it. Everything had been leading up to this, and he couldn't help the grin on his face. ShinRa may have stolen Her, but he was taking Her back, and with Her everything would be better. Everything would change, even if he didn't know how.

He climbed the stairs, sometimes skipping a step in his anticipation, and rapped on the door. It felt like this was the moment he'd been waiting for all his life. He'd be reunited with Her, and She would praise him.

"Who is it?" His grin widened, recognizing the voice from the helicopter. This was it. He felt giddy as he answered,"It's me."

A moment of quiet chatter, too quiet to really discern what was being said, that was quickly followed with,"What's the password?"

His eyes narrowed, his grin twitching with annoyance. This wasn't a game, and he wasn't someone to be taunted. He slammed his palm against the door, the sound jarring,"I'll get it in whether you want me to or not. Let's save us all the trouble!"

"Nope!" His grin was gone now, his thin patience dissipating with the obnoxious, mockingly chipper answer. If they wanted to go about it the hard way, then so be it.

Congratulations on being accepted, Kadaj. You will be living in apartment #4.003, and your tag is character: kadaj. Please use this tag when you are the poster of the entry or log, and when you tag into an entry or log, thank you.
