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 [community profile] haventest which is continuously open. Posts there may be used in lieu of a sample in the application.

Abilities/Powers:
Chris is a normal human being, with no sort of supernatural abilities or powers to benefit from. He is a hunter, however, born to a family that's noted in history for their fight against the werewolves and he’s just one of many soldiers in their family’s long legacy. Chris is a man in his 40’s who seems to have hunted werewolves for practically his entire life, and he still does so it wouldn’t be unfair to say that it’s a job he’s proficient in, especially since most of his fellow hunters don’t mind looking to him for leadership. He’s experienced in archery, knows a good deal about tracking wolves, and he’s learned from his family the best ways to torture a werewolf.

As an Arm’s Dealer, he’s skilled with various types of firearms and he has a huge armory of crossbows and guns stocked up in his garage.

Considering that his first test for his daughter was a fake-hostage situation he wanted her to escape from on her own, it probably wouldn’t be a stretch to say that he’s well trained psychologically.

Sample Entry Two:
Her eyes glow. The knife goes in. Her eyes close.

Chris Argent is 42 when his wife dies in his arms, and even as all signs of life gradually flee from her he still doesn’t take the knife out. It’s as much of a stab in the gut to him as it was for her, he could practically feel the knife twist when he plunged it in – but he doesn’t move even when he knew she was long gone. He didn't break down, because it’s not a surprise that she’s gone and he was, in a way, prepared for this – but the heavy ache in his chest is suffocating, and he doesn’t think he can remove the knife with the weight there. The moonlight plunged through the room, shined and stretched over them as the moon rose, and dimly, Chris thought, that if they just waited a little longer the stab wound wouldn’t have done a thing.

Victoria would have healed. They could’ve found a way for her to escape.

But he knew that, even with Allison’s feelings in mind – it’s not what his wife would have wanted, and he’s not so selfish that he wouldn’t have respected her wishes. Still, he’d seen her eyes glow – and although his father called her a thing, waiting to hatch – Chris couldn’t see that at all. She was every bit beautiful and human as she was when he met her in his twenties, and he didn’t see the monster lurking in her. Didn’t think he could, even if he tried to think of her as a thing he would’ve had to hunt.

He wondered what he was supposed to tell Allison. Derek might have bit her, but he wasn't the one that plunged the knife through her.

She could have lived.
