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.

Personality: Despite what Peter claims, he is, in fact, a total psycho. Let's be fair, though, he did survive the slaughter of (most of) his entire family, only to come out from the tragedy scarred horrifically, mentally and physically. Does this excuse him from murdering people? Well, it might in a court of law, but this is a roleplay application, thus forcing me to try to piece together whatever is left of Peter's broken mind. Buckle up.

In season 2, after he is revived from his short stint as a charred corpse, some of Peter's old personality starts to shine through. It is considered 'old' because Peter himself has made a statement to the effect that his previous personality had been 'burned out' out of him. Despite what had transpired between Peter and Derek only weeks before he was brought back to life, Peter teases Derek innocently enough and even goes so far as to try to rebuild their relationship. When Derek begins beating the crap out of Peter, the former alpha simply lets his nephew wail on him saying it must be cathartic for Derek. Peter may make smart-ass comments about Derek's leadership skills, but he does genuinely tries to help his nephew out.

The point is, Peter does a complete 180 in terms of personality between one season and the next. Instead of the single-minded revenge machine, he becomes the guy with a witty retort to everything, smart, capable, and even somewhat playful. Peter seems to speak sarcasm as if it's his native language, always something to say after someone has done something particularly idiotic or said something without putting any thought into it. His body language is also very expressive because of this, easily telling of his disbelief, annoyance, or exasperation. While many would think he's egotistical because of this, he's actually honest with his decisions. He instantly proclaims that his actions as an alpha weren't his finest hour and doesn't fight to get that position back. That being said, he's also smart. Well, cunning might be more of an appropriate term. While he will admit to his faults, he only does it to garner Derek's favor. Whether he would readily admit to anything else just out of the goodness of his own heart is yet to be seen. He knows how to manipulate people into getting them on his side, even if he has to stoop down a level to do it. This is a personality trait he shares with his murderous side, who uses it to try to get Scott to accept him. Peter is often the one with a plan, drawn out though it may be. It's a quality seen in a good leader, but since Peter is out of his mind, it's obvious why his stint as Alpha didn't work out. Otherwise, though, he is very resourceful and capable when it comes to hashing things out. He knows where to find information and even seems to have little tidbits stored away in his head. This is also another trait he picked up during his time as a killer, although it's likely one he's had his entire life.

So what's the difference then, you may ask, between his old and new personalities? The major difference is his psychological break. No amount of defense could say that an uncle killing his own niece in cold blood was ever the right thing to do. After the fire, Peter became consumed with a lust for killing every last person involved with the murder of the Hale family. He became laser-focused in this endeavor, shutting out all other emotions and even simple things like family so that his goal could be met. It's not really understood why Peter didn't simply just convince his niece that they should get their revenge, since she was the Alpha anyway, instead of outright killing her to gain the title of Alpha, although one could argue insanity. Peter desperately felt that he needed that boost in power to carry out his plans, and, obviously, he was willing to do whatever it took to finish what he started. One could say that once Peter becomes hell-bent on something, he will do whatever he feels is necessary to do the job.

Peter can be civil and friendly, despite his calculating and sarcastic nature. Above all else, even though he killed people for it, he does seem to have some belief that a familial bond is one worth keeping.

Abilities/Powers: Peter comes from a world of werewolves. Even if you've never seen the show, the werewolves pretty much stick to the lore of every werewolf story you've ever heard.

☾ｅｎｈａｎｃｅｄｓｔｒｅｎｇｔｈ Like it says on the box. Werewolves are a whole lot stronger than humans.
☾ｅｎｈａｎｃｅｄｓｐｅｅｄ Werewolves can run a lot faster than their human counterparts.
☾ｅｎｈａｎｃｅｄａｇｉｌｉｔｙ More agile, faster reaction times, can jump farther, and climb faster.
☾ａｃｃｅｌｅｒａｔｅｄｈｅａｌｉｎｇ Werewolves can heal scratches, cuts, bullet wounds, and stab wounds almost instantly. An injury from an Alpha is said to take much longer and they can't heal from anything that hits them that is laced with Wolf's Bane.
☾ｈｅｉｇｈｔｅｎｅｄｓｅｎｓｅｓ Stronger vision allowing them to see in darkness, better sense of smell, and heightened hearing.
☾ｐａｉｎｔｒａｎｓｆｅｒｅｎｃｅ Werewolves can absorb and alleviate pain from other people/creatures.

☽ｗｏｌｆ'ｓｂａｎｅ Basically, it's like poison to werewolves and is a pretty sure fire way to kill them.
☽ｍｏｕｎｔａｉｎａｓｈ Keeps the things that go bump in the night out. Has a warding property that offends a supernatural creature's senses.
