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.

NOTES
Never mind the blood rains, haunting song and inevitable ghost army cohorts — Wen Kexing will find himself otherwise occupied upon joining the caravan. The Sa-Hareth refugees who survived the
trainhorsecar collision will find themselves drawn to Wen Kexing’s affable manner. In particular, their children, alongside the young of the caravan, will take up trailing after him, begging him for sweets and treats and stories, with some calling him a princess or a bride because of his intricate clothes, relative to their journey garments. They will share with him their greatest treasure: verse, taught to them at night by the Lady, whom they join in her dirge:Stitch by stitch,
The love of a witch
Will unravel
Dusk to dawn
Each morning to mourn
With blood and gravel
They came, to a man
They came without plan
Walked their feet raw
Bore day and night
Sought witches to fight
Their fealty a flaw
For one witch alone
Arha turned every stone
His love a disorder
And at Taravast
Our hero, aghast
Led men to murder
Her sisters near dead,
"Save her," he’d said
"She’ll open the gates"
But foes of one day
Ally straight away
If a witch waits
Attaryl
Hearts empty still
The Bessis wed
Sick to the core
Of woe and war
With truce went ahead
Peace at a price
Army, sacrificed
By the Attaryl
The lady said,
“Turn or face dread.”
A sign of good will
Yet Arha’s care
Lovers, beware
Was halfway pride
He’d not be swayed
Not be delayed
Not be denied
So men tall and small
So learned at the wall
A witch’s love burns
Fire and tar
Shot from afar
Every wail earns
Love, her love
Hatisse’s sweet dove
Arha fell last
Vowed to return
His lady to scorn
And spit on their past
With strike of sword
The love of a lord
Will unravel
Dawn to dusk
His memory a husk
Each year he will travel.
...consider sharing this beautiful song, in its... dubious quality or summary with the group, because
it took a while to penthey’ve been waiting for the final clues to stitch together what happened to the Lord Arha and Lady Hatisse.The sorceress Karsa, an employee of the party’s Merchant benefactor who is currently journeying with the caravan, can update Kexing on the story so far. In Eastbound tradition, you are welcome to pick Wen Kexing’s network username, but I can provide a pun-based one, if you’re stuck.
Re: ACCEPTED
i’m planning to put up a network post about this tomorrow, will this work with your timeline?
