IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Western order, por favor.
Age: In years, if possible.
Canon: Links to you canon's Wikipedia entry or it's own wiki or at least something to tell us what he hot haps are.
Canon Point: Exact page numbers and panels aren't necessary, but being specific is good.
Species: Note that any species other than human will become human. Animals, aliens, even human like beings. You're going to become homo sapiens like the rest of us.
Gender: Both physical and mental.
Orientation: FILL THIS OUT IF YOU HAVE A CHARACTER THAT IS OVER 18, NO BUTS. Here at Holly Heights, we don't discriminate against anyone's orientations. That being said, if your character is gay, we aren't going to make them take a wife when housing plans are given. Gay marriage is completely legal. Please give us a short and simple reason you think they are gay/straight/bi/etc if they don't have an explicitly state sexuality. Please keep it short, though. We do know it's tempting to tl;dr about things like this. Long story short, the real question is Would your character be more comfortable with a wife, husband, or either?, so that we know what houses to place them in.
History: Links will suffice, but please write it out if the links are insufficient.
Appearance: A picture will be sufficient, but we'd never turn down a written explanation.
Personality: This should be the biggest part of the application unless your history is written out. There should at least be 3 paragraphs OR 300+ words. No links. Using old app sections for this AS LONG AS THEY ARE YOUR OWN is reasonable.
Abilites: Please note that in this domestic paradise, powers will be taken. Will you get them back? If you behave, perhaps. Please list any special powers your character has and any natural talents that they possess. This can range from flying to having nice handwriting.
Other: Anything else you'd like to include? Put it here.

testrun_box.Third Person: This is more like a log entry and action related. It should could more "he/she" than "I". Please give us at least two paragraphs OR 10+ lines or text. You may link to a musebox post or previous roleplay log for this but only if you didn't link for your first person and vice versa. Also remember that this isn't fanfiction and should act like a log post would . Just rambling on like a novel isn't writing a log.

SAMPLE APPS:
Hokuto Umeda - Hanazakari no Kimitachi E
Kyouya Ootori - Ouran High School Host Club
Haruna Saotome - Negima! Magister Negi Magi
Riku Miyagusuku | Blood+ | Reserved | 2/2
Personality:
Riku is a very kind-hearted boy, who trusts people too easily that its scary. He is highly against violence and dislikes fighting, he is a pacifist when it comes to things like that and usually does anything in his power that he possibly can to avoid it. Though, he does stand up for what he believes in, he does so without raising a hand to another person unnecessarily unless he truly has to and above all else he does not like to see bloodshed, be it family or even strangers. What makes him naive is the fact that he is very friendly, too friendly and that leads him to trouble. However, this is not to say that he hasn't fought before; when his siblings were in danger he steps in to protect them from getting hurt because he cares deeply for them and his family is very important to him.
Unlike most boys his age, Riku enjoys cooking and household things like cleaning and doting on others, especially his family, pretty much to the point that he can be seen as somewhat of a mother hen. Unlike his older siblings, Saya and Kai, Riku is the one who is more rational about things than the two of them, and usually wears a smile on his face like a little kid. Don't get him wrong, Riku does get angry on occasion as well, but usually only when people hurt those that he cares about or hurt others for their own gain, which is seen when he gets angry at Van for talking cruelly about Charles after using him like a guinea pig and speaking about hm as if he were nothing but trash.
He's the type that can make friends quickly, and once he's comfortable enough with you, he's pretty much your friend for life and will do just about anything to look out for you and help because that's just the kind of person that he is. Unlike some cases, Riku is a good person, through and through and due to this he constantly seems to get caught up in dangerous situations, as seen by him getting kidnapped on more than one occasion.
More of his kind nature comes out when he first meets Charles, a boy who turns out to be a Chevalier, one of the 'monsters' that his sister hunts down. Although they are supposed to be enemies, Riku looks past the fact that the boy isn't human and his flaws, accepting him and even befriending him. Even despite the fact that the boy had kidnapped him, bitten him when he first awoke and told him he was a 'servant' until he was rescued, Riku never once loathed Charles despite the situation he was in. In fact, during their short time together Riku grew close to him constantly following him around like a pet. He also tells Charles that he isn't afraid of him in the least despite anything he says or does. When it comes to protecting those he cares about, Riku is willing to put himself in harm's way to keep them safe; going as far as jumping in front of a bullet to protect Charles, thanking him for a moth that the boy had given Riku as a present.
Due to this incident, Saya is forced to turn Riku into a Chevalier to bring him back to life by giving him her blood. When he becomes one though, this does not change his ideals at all, and he remains firm about his belief in not wanting conflict or bloodshed. It also doesn't seem to change him as a person, he still is the kind and gentle boy that he was when he still had his humanity, which is a bit ironic since Chiropterans are known to be bloodthirsty creatures who kill people for blood. From looking at his small appearance, one would never know that he were one of the violent creatures that humans fear so much.
The flaw in such a gentle person is how he refuses to believe that anyone in the world is truly just evil. In his eyes, every single person, even if they are an enemy, has good in them. He believes that deep down they deserve a second chance and is even willing to stand up to his belief, which leads to him getting into an argument with Saya about Chiropterans being evil and how they should all die, but he doesn't want that to happen. Which brings another thing, Riku does not like to see anyone die, if he can he tries anything to avoid it. Even when it comes down to the decision that the only way to stop countless people from being turned into Chiropterans is to kill Saya's twin sister Diva, he desperately tries to find a better solution without having to kill anyone. It may seem selfish, but to him no one truly simply just 'deserves to die'. He's also quite intelligent for someone his age and is well-educated, as he is able to identify a moth that he spots during his initial time being held captive by Charles.
Basically, Riku is a good kid. He isn't the type to pick a fight with anyone, and tries to avoid fighting as much as possible. Even after all he's gone through, losing a friend, being turned into a monster, and having to face danger, he never gives up and sticks to what he believes in as well as looking out for his loved ones. Why? That's just Riku. It’s the kind of person he is; he doesn't need a reason to, its simply in his nature to do so.
Abilities:
Riku is a Chevalier, an enhanced form of Chiropterans, which are hideous looking monsters that kill humans and feed on them as well. However, Chevaliers are capable of maintaining their human form, being able to transform their limbs for battle if the need arises, and they possess superhuman abilities such as:
->Enhanced speed
->Enhanced physical strength
->Ability to sense other chirpoterans
->Loss of the need to sleep
->Passage of time stopped (i.e. Can no longer age or grow older)
->Self-regeneration from injuries (require a large amount of blood if they are weakened though)
Other:
->Has developed an interest in moths…
->Pacifist
->Looks for the good in everyone, even evil, malicious people
->Took a bullet to protect his friend
->He's teased by others for his almost 'motherly-like' tendencies
->Good at cooking
SAMPLES
First Person: [Oh boy, now what? Did he get kidnapped again? He goes off, hastily searching every room and every nook and cranny, even under the chairs although it was unlikely that anyone would really hide there.
Picking up the cell phone that was sitting on the table, he glances at it before holding it to his ear. Although he didn't exactly have one of his own, he knew about them and how to use one.]
Uh hello, has anyone seen a boy and girl around here that look like they could be in high school? If you do, please tell me. I'm sorry for bothering anyone, I just want to make sure they are safe. I'm not familiar with this place but…its nice to meet everyone. So, thank you very much for your time!
[Okay, that didn't go so bad. Now he had to track down his brother and sister and make sure they were okay! He may have been stuck there, but he couldn't just sit around all day. He'd figure something out, but for now he would just have to get used to living like this and do what he could.]
Third Person: Well, since the house was already tidied up it saved him the trouble of doing it himself. He'd already given himself a personal tour of the place, and to be honest it was actually quite a shock. Though, since he had been in situations where he'd woken up only to find himself in strange, unfamiliar places he quickly got used to it.
When the bedroom door opens he turns and puts on his best friendly face. The woman--or rather, his supposed 'mother' walked in and he smiled, it was obvious she wasn't his real mother but Riku still appreciated that he had someone around taking care of him. A sudden thought comes to him and--
"Do we have any books on moths? O-or insects maybe? Ah!…I'm sorry I…guess I was just thinking about something, uh, n-never mind."
Well, that was a bit embarrassing. She gave him a confused look but he simply chuckled over the sudden nostalgia. What was he doing? It felt a bit lonely at that moment for some reason, but Riku shook it off and took the woman's hand, leading her back to the kitchen and helping her prepare something to eat.
Whew, he managed to dodge a bullet there, it seemed.
