Thank you for your interest!

Received Applications
Thank you for your interest in the game! Before you get started writing that super awesome app, you should check out our FAQ and Rules page. Now, onto the nitty-gritty:
1. Apps are open on the 1st-7th of every month.
2. You may apply for up to 2 characters per app round.
3. Reserves and Applications are judged on a first-come, first-serve basis.
4. [Edit 11/30/2016] Applications are now capped at 20 apps per cycle. The received application page will be updated when we are nearing or have hit the cap. Any apps submitted while the received application page has less than 20 names on it will be considered valid.
5. You may apply for a character without a reserve.
6. Please copy the textbox in its entirety and fill out every field that applies to your character.
7. Respond to this post with either the full app in the comments, or a link to the app in a character journal.
8. Your comment title should be in the format of Character Name | Canon Name | Reserved/Not Reserved.
9. Apps must be complete at time of posting. If we find that a posted app does not have all required sections filled out, then the player will be notified and will have 24 hours to complete any blank sections. Any apps with missing sections after the 24 hour period will be rejected.
10. All comments are screened, we will not unscreen comments without player permission.
11. Our app process has three possible outcomes.
► Accepted: Congratulations, you've been accepted into Hadriel! Please read the acceptance notice carefully and follow the instructions therein.
► Revisions: Happens to everyone. We'll ask for revisions on any particular section if we need clarification or feel like there's not enough information to make a decision. We allow three days for revisions before the app is automatically rejected.
► Rejected: We will reject applications if we feel like the character breaks one of our app rules (listed in the FAQ section), if sections of the app are missing, or if we feel that too many revisions would be required to accept it. We will reject applications after the third revision request.
12. If your app has been rejected, you may reapply for that character in the next app round.
13. All app notifications will go out at the same time, after applications close.
14. The intro log will be posted on the 10th of each month.
Revisions
whoops.
The first thing he tastes when he wakes up is dirt. It's stuck to the sweat on his face, mixing into a gritty, muddy paste that reminds him of those months in Vietnam, the helicopters overhead and the staccato beat of machine gun fire. Rolling onto his side, Klaus moans, squeezes his eyes shut, finds that he can move his arms and legs as he curls up into a fetal position, hands coming up to cover the back of his neck as he tries to orient himself. It's not the first time he's woken up somewhere strange in a cold sweat with dirt in his mouth, but it's sure as hell the first time he's done it sober, at least in a long, long time.
The pounding isn't all just in his head, it's in the ground, vibrating underneath him with big pounding slamming footsteps, like an elephant or something is running in his direction. Rolling over onto his hands and knees, he opens his eyes, groans again, rubs his hand across his face and just manages to smear the sweat and dirt together into some kind of muddy mask and it's just like being back in the sweaty jungle with something coming toward him...
Through the haze of grime stuck in his lashes, he sees something he can't quite comprehend stampeding toward him, surrounded by a swarm of people trying to take it down, bellowing and screaming and making the air shake with volume and weight and magnitude and holy shit it's coming right at him-
"No no no nonono what the fuck is that..."
Adrenaline floods his body as he makes his way to his feet, hunched over, covered in dirt, arms moving from his head to his sides, trying to keep balance on unsteady legs, in the opposite direction from the monstrosity. At some point he trips over his own feet and stumbles, his hand slaps into the ground as he gets himself back upright and looks over his shoulder, realizes that he's screaming at the top of his lungs, and runs straight into some abandoned piece of rubble (is that seriously a piece of discarded armor?) and lands flat on his chest and face. It knocks the breath out of him, he digs his fingers into the dirt and coughs, gags, feels like he's choking on his own heart as it slams in his chest, tries to catch his breath.
Those slamming footsteps keep coming toward him and people keep yelling.
Klaus bunches himself up again, crouches down behind whatever it is that he tripped over, hands coming up over his ears, and he whimpers, makes himself as small as he can, chanting 'no' under his breath over and over again, eyes squeezed shut while the bright flashes of light in the darkness and the sound of bullets and helicopters overwhelms him and he can't breathe, his head spins, and all he can see is Dave. Dave with a hole in his chest, and so much blood, and all he's aware of is fear and grief and he doesn't even care if he lives or dies and...
Someone is touching his shoulder and the noise is over, it's quiet.
Lifting his head, he looks up at the person's face, his eyes wide, the tracks of tears running through the mud on his face, his lips parted, barely breathing.
"What's g-going on?"
