applications
Eastbound is primarily an invite-only game — each existing player can currently invite up to one person per month, or get in touch about further invites. Existing players can hold two characters in game. A third character can be applied, if players can prove they have met activity requirements for two consecutive months with their existing two characters and have stayed engaged with the game. If you don't have an invite, somehow stumbled upon this neck of the woods, and you’d like to stay, drop the mod journal a line — we'll try to figure it out.
As of Oct. 1, cast/game caps are off. Please note, as of Dec. 1, Eastbound only has 3-4 months of gameplay left.
WHAT CHARACTERS CAN BE APPLIED?
YES: canon and original characters, if they have a solid and consistent personality and background. Characters brought in after they've died are a-okay. For characters taken from a time point just as they're in the process of dying, please read below on meeting medical requirements.
NO (at this time): real people, original characters set in a canon environment, characters from canons or canon instalments that have been released for less than one month, characters with imported development from other games (CRAU), alternate universe, or gender-swapped versions of canon characters.
Children or characters with very specific medical/magical/environment needs: appable, but please make a note of how your character will ICly meet their requirements and stay alive. Likewise, if you are applying for a character taken just as they're dying, provide a suggestion for how they can be kept alive on arrival (this might be easier in some app cycles than others). You can bend the world a little to make miracles happen (ex: a substitute for the medication your character needs to survive can be found for a high price at certain apothecaries, etc.)
Characters that were dropped or swept by activity checks: yes, but they’ll come back without their previous memories, if they are applied in by a different player.

Thank you for your application in the game’s last cycle!

NOTES
You can choose Deimos' username, because my first pun thought was emo shun all damage, and no one deserves that.
INTRO
Your character arrives during the party’s botched attempt to leave the lavish city of Ephes, wrenched from home just as the citadel’s beacon collapses. The party’s witch Karsa supplies a translation and communication device and explains that your character has arrived in Akhuras — a world sundered by ongoing war between the lords of the undead Brotherhood and their contenders.
Your character joins several other otherworlders, whom Karsa’s collaborator, the Merchant, seeks to return to their own worlds through transport beacons, before the undead can weaponise them in battle. For months, this travelling party has been traversing Akhuras, un/intentionally defying the Brotherhood at every step — and chasing the trail of the mysterious Matthias, a scientist of the formidable collapsed citadel of Ellethia, who may have created the undead and the elusive ‘dark water’ that powers them. Matthias has been leaving behind severed parts of his own body to seed or strengthen ‘dark water’ in several territories and summon the undead locally.
The hour of the party’s inevitable confrontation with Matthias draws near.
