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.

ADMIN
NOTES
INTRO
Since you asked for him to get some plot heavier engagement — this won’t be linked to his intro, but feel free for him to find out and share with the class at any point after he can return to Minaras (so during or after our upcoming Halloween event).
A man can do worse than keeping his ear to the ground, and Jimmy’s now got a professional interest to frequently hit the pavement. This gives him a natural in to be on any road, at any time of day. Better still: people forget about him, talking nonchalantly around him.
He can learn that word has spread of the resurgence of the ‘coal sickness’ — the unforgiving plague-like illness that appeared and waned equally abruptly a few years ago. Conflicting reactions to it led to a civil war that splintered Serthica into the Eidris and Minaras rival citadel halves. Minaras fears the sickness was contracted by a man — as Jimmy will learn, Bones McCoy — who undertook a dangerous inspection at a local clinic with ancient samples, during a recent technical outage. Minaras governmental higher-ups have offered bounties to capture this man, but unfortunately only possess a very vague physical description for him.
Worse, some fear this man might be a foreigner from outside of Serthica, as was the first patient who ‘brought in’ the ‘coal sickness’ — and, later, the man who contained the outbreak.
