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.

Character Name: Asami Sato
Canon: Avatar: The Legend of Korra
Background/History: ｓｏ．．．ｉｔ＇ｓａｄａｔｅ？
Previous Game History: n/a
Personality:
Asami Sato, the bombshell daughter of the famous Hiroshi Sato, inventor of the Satomobile. Beautiful, feminine, polite, sociable — in many ways, she epitomizes the ideal of a true heiress. She exudes confidence and even has a bit of a wild streak, evidenced by her love of all things motorized. A moped is her main form of transportation after all. She is, in many ways, a direct foil to the titular hero Korra, as they are so dissimilar (something Korra immediately notices), though this does not stop Asami from quickly becoming one of her few trusted confidants.

The first time we meet Asami, she's driving recklessly on her moped and hits Mako as he runs into the road. It becomes apparent that she can be a bit impulsive, as she is driving extremely fast, enough to knock Mako down on his back. She displays her mastery of conversation, though, as she quickly hops off, apologizes, and invites Mako to dinner — even recognizing him as a probender, one of her favorite sports, surely because of how enticing and adrenaline pumping it can get. When you're cooped up in a manor all day, every day, you tend to want to have some excitement every once and a while, after all. Though her appearance is prim and perfect, she is flirty and casual.

Given the highly pampered life that she has led, Asami showers Mako with gifts, including convincing her father to sponsor their probending team, to allow them to be eligible for the championship. A daddy's girl, she shows great fealty for her father, having a significantly close relationship with him (having lost her mother at a young age by firebenders, they are all each other has). This may make her seem shallow, but she also brings a sort of affection to their relationship, something Mako is not used to, and Asami quickly becomes his inspiration and motivation to press onward. She is present at all his games, there to cheer him on and pick him up when he's down.

While at first, she seemed like Korra's exact opposite, they really do host quite a few similarities. Despite her pampered lifestyle, Asami does wish to breakaway from the mold she's been set into. Fiercely independent, this is where her reckless side comes out, and why she is always so willing and eager to accompany Korra and the others. They bring something new to the table. Asami is deeply competitive in all things she does, shown when she takes Korra for a practice drive in the Satomobiles and leaves the driver of the other car spinning uncontrollably off the road, a smirk on her face. She's also had formal self defense training, so despite being a nonbender, she can hold her own against some equalists.

She's a quick thinker, and very clever, which can be seen during a car chase scene in which she makes swift, accurate judgments and calls on what should be done; including having Bolin create ramps with his earth bending. Despite being so impulsive, Asami is meticulous and able to multitask and think logically. She's also quite cunning; she's shown pretending to be on her father's side at one point, just to obtain the weapon he's offering, only to attack him with it when she gets her hands on it.

Asami has a strong moral compass, and desires to do what's right; even if that means not siding with her father. She goes through a short, temporary crisis when he gives her the ultimatum — join him and the oppressive, violent equalists, or stay with Korra and fight against them. In the end, she saw the light, and understood that her father was in the wrong. From this, we can see how deeply Asami values justice. Even if it means having to fight her own father, she will do the right thing. In many ways, she is selfless. She swears off all of her worldly luxuries to fight alongside Korra, against the equalists. Don't make Asami angry, though — when she gets angry, she gets very, very serious, to the point where she nearly kills her father. When she is angered or frustrated, she can become ruthless and cutthroat, unafraid of the casualties that may result in her actions. However, she would never harm someone she cared about or an innocent.

Asami is not without flaws. She can be prideful and uppity, such as when she and the rest of the Avatar Team are forced to take refuge in the sewers and she refuses to eat salvaged soup, and can be spiteful and rude towards people she is angry with. Such is to be expected of a rich teenage girl. At the very least, Asami tries to hide these flaws and not let them interfere with others' image of her.

A notable development throughout the first season is Korra's budding feelings for Mako, and, in turn, Mako's blooming, reciprocal feelings for her. At first, Asami is jealous, assuming that she is just being paranoid, but later, she confronts Mako about this, telling him that she does not dislike Korra, but it's clear that he isn't taking their relationship seriously. From this, we can see how mature Asami is, even though she is still a hormone addled teenager. Still, after this confrontation, Asami is bitter towards Mako, showing that she can be spiteful when she feels it is justified. Later on, in the finale, she ends their relationship for good, but civilly, wanting to remain friends.

All in all, Asami is a kind, caring girl, though a bit spoiled. She can take things for granted, but she always means well, and wants the best for those around her. She's a normal girl, thrust into a very abnormal situation; one who has emotions and feelings like any other girl. She's had to make some very difficult decisions since meeting Korra, but all of them have been what she's felt are the 'right' ones. She is a driven, strong willed young lady, one with an unrelenting determination and a powerful force behind her.

Abilities/Powers: A (mostly) normal human girl. She does have heightened physical attributes, though, due to having defensive training since she was little, so she's very limber and can hold her own in a fight.
