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.

Just so I can make sure I'm on the proper track:
— who is the Black Phantom and how did Yuuri first become involved with them? Is this the alte ego of her father?
— what is Mirage like, or how did Mirage appear?
— who is Hyoubu Kyousuke, is this the boy you mention escaped Black Phantom without being killed? Or is it the PANDRA leader?
Sorry for all the questions, just to ensure I understand the background section!
no subject
1: Black Phantom is the organization that her father is the head of. It basically sells espers to the highest bidder for things like assassination, espionage, that sort of stuff. Yuuri was born with strong hypno so for as long as she's been able to she's been used as the brainwasher of the organization who finds espers who are strong and can be controlled and basically turn them into obedient "dolls".
2: Mirage is basically the part of Yuuri's personality that is cold, calm and obedient. Basically: Father's Good Girl who supports her father unquestioningly. On some subconscious level, Yuuri knew what she was doing for Father was wrong but also was brought up to think she had to listen to her father because he loves her and also she belongs to him and so she has to be obedient. Canon doesn't specify whether it's some sort of trauma caused Dissociative Identity Disorder or if it's just that her inability to reconcile her growing resentment of her father for forcing her to do these things combined with her being a high level esper caused this but the end result is that she had Mirage which is the Father's Good Girl personality, Phantom which was the rebellious, Fuck You Dad personality and then added to that was the Totally A Normal Girl fake personality of Yuuri that was created so she can do her undercover thing undetected. At her current canon point though, they're gone since she's resolved the 'people are free to make their own choices and so can I' issue in her life and the fake personality (which is hinted to be what she ideally would want to be) is now the basis of her real personality but with Phantom and Mirage's memories. If any of this didn't make sense, please let me know!
3: Hyoubu Kyousuke is the leader of PANDRA. The boy who escaped is a side character called Bullet.

So, happy to have her, just two things ahead of her acceptance notes:
1. Regarding her telepathy: I'm happy for her to retain the overall skill, as it's deeply entrenched in who she is. However, please know it can only be used on an opt-in basis with other player characters (please get their consent!) and it will have to be nerfed strategically when it would give away too much of the mystery/plot. I hope that makes sense!
2. Do you have a preference for whether she's assigned to Eidris or Minaras?
no subject
2. Nope! No preference!
ACCEPTED
Thank you for your application!

NOTES
INTRO
This is perhaps less of an intro plot pointer, more of a clue for Yuuri’s stay throughout, once she manages to reach Minaras: while her telepathy doesn’t work everywhere, sometimes — particularly in vast crowds — she finds herself picking up from different people a mental ‘voice’ that keeps repeating words to the tune of, 'I’M SORRY', 'STOP', 'TAKE IT BACK, BRING THEM BACK', 'BROTHER SANWON, BE A FRIEND', 'I DIDN’T MEAN TO', 'IS IT RAINING?' The voice pertains to a boy and rings tinny, sometimes distressed, sometimes listless, always somehow absent — as if Yuuri is picking up ripples of thought, more than active projections.
no subject
Just for clarification, does her telepathy not work because she can't activate it or because trying to read thoughts just yield no results? Apart from when she hears that voice, of course.
