Applications
Welcome to the application page! There are three types of applications all bundled here for ease of access - characters, canon updates, and settings.
Characters
Whilst we are a musebox, we do have an application (of sorts) for incoming characters. This is so we can learn a little about you and allow those who are entirely unfamiliar with your character with a place to start from - a quick summary, if you will. This is entirely intended to help all muns out with planning interactions and finding your feet, so please don't stress over it!
Applications are first come, first served. Challenges will not be accepted. We (the mod overseers) will accept and invite you as soon as we see it, but we'll aim to check once a week. If you haven't heard anything back after more than a week, feel free to contact us directly.

PLAYER
Name:
Personal Journal:
Contact: other ways of getting in touch with you, such as plurk, AIM, PM, e-mail.
Current, returning, or invited? Anyone already in the musebox may use "current". For those who were previously in Dragon Haven and wish to come back in with someone new, please use "returning". If you have been invited in, "invited" is your option here. If you have been invited, please tell us which player invited you so the mod overseers can clarify.
CHARACTER
Name: The character's name.
Journal: The journal you will be using for your character. This lets us send you an invite!
Series: What series from which your character hails.
Age: If there isn't a canon one, guess! If they look older/younger than their age, please list both.
Canon point: From what point is your character pulled to the Havens?
History and personality: For both history and personality, this may be a link to a wiki as appropriate. If you want to expand on the wiki at all (in the case of it being bare bones or not detailing events in the series until your chosen canon point) you may, but this is not required, the same as for personality. A link will do, but it's up to you if you want to list out more. Original characters, however, will need to provide a link to a world summary, whether it's one you've written already or one you still have to write. We will not accept originals into the musebox without a detailed world history and personality, as this is the only source for information about them.
Alignment: What would your character's D&D alignment be? Whilst optional, this allows everyone, regardless of if they are familiar with the character or not, to know on a basic level what your character is like at a glance.
Weapon usage: What weapons they are versed in and can use, if any.
Skills and abilities: Is your character a skilled mechanic or a competant white mage? This is where you let the world know about what they can do. A wiki link can be provided for more detailed information, as appropriate.
Prior application: Has your character previously been in a game? You may link any (and all!) full applications you have already written - and were accepted - here for other players to read. This is entirely optional!
Canon Updates
So you want to change the point your character was pulled from their canon world? Not a problem. Be sure to read the FAQ first for how this will work ICly! We'll acknowledge any and all updates as soon as we see them. If it's been more than a week and you've had no response, feel free to contact us directly.
Character name and journal:
Old canon point:
New canon point:
Anything else we should know? Changes in appearance, changes in age, major personality changes, etc.
Settings
Setting applications are the same as they were in Dragon Haven, so they're still quite detailed. These will be reviewed as the mod overseers are able to, but at least every 3-4 weeks. If it's been over a month and you've heard nothing back, feel free to contact us directly.
Location
Canon
Type of Location: Settlement, Landscape, Dungeon, etc
Physical Description: Both written and any pictorial, video or other visual depictions.

Local Inhabitants: Descriptions of the people living there, as well as any creatures, be they wild or domesticated.
Risks: Geological? Extreme weather? Vicious monsters roaming around? Please list these here and describe them in detail.
Celebrations: List any major holidays or festivals known for the setting. Barring those, please try to create a realistic cultural norm, festivity or event that fits the area as it is known.
Additional Information: Anything you feel we should know about the location that will assist others in being able to play within the setting.
