ACCEPTED


Thank you for your application!

ADMIN

  • Join [community profile] eastbound, [community profile] lostcompass, [community profile] westwhere and comment to the TAKEN LIST within 72 hours of your acceptance note. A game-wide OOC intro / CR meme and plotting post goes up on 14 August.

  • All game updates are posted on [community profile] lostcompass, but you can also follow [plurk.com profile] eastbound. You’ll get a private message with an invite to the informal game discord server, once you comment to the Taken List.

  • While Eastbound is fantasy-horror geared, if you OOCly have a common trigger that is likely to make you very uncomfortable in gameplay (ex: spiders), please flag it here. Best effort will be made to content warn and avoid pictures of it in event write-ups.

  • Take a look at our optional custom codes to help you set up a character inbox or permissions post.

  • While some participation is expected, your character is exempted from full activity requirements this month.


  • NOTES

  • The bond is an interesting one — I think the best outcome is one that keeps the character playable, but also doesn’t ruin potential interaction if a Moiraine should rejoin. Based on Wiki’s description of masking, I’d agree that it seems like the most elegant solution. If you want to especially torture him, you could have it go haywire now and then in places of high magical power — like a device trying to fruitlessly connect to a disruptive wireless network — and lead him to think it’s sensing something like Moiraine………… who then ends up being a highly powered sorcerer, party companion or undead liege. But that’s purely opt-in!

    We could go the way of plot-driven severance too, but I think it would put you in a potentially difficult situation, if Moiraine shows up.

  • Your character receives a shiny new pocket watch pendant with a mirror inside, which serves as a translator and communicator for written, video and audio interaction. It can read out translations of messages written out in native tongues.

  • …you can either come up with your character’s network username, or comment here if you prefer to receive a mod-assigned punny one.


  • INTRO

    Your character joins the party during its sojourn at the House of Manouk. He may travel with them onwards, when they escape back into the real time of Akhuras… to a place of sweet, sweet respite.

    There will be certain opt-in quests available in this period — including one exclusive to newcomers. Participate in whatever you like 😊

    The Merchant has his ways to barter information about his new protegees, and at time shares this knowledge with his representative to the party, the witch Karsa. Upon return to Akhuras, Karsa can optionally tell Lan that Moiraine was previously with the party before returning home and present him with any of her scant few effects that remained here — a blue cloak, some healing materials.
