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
INTRO
The Scavengers seem to orbit Tess, attracted to her survivor streak — or perhaps watchful if she perishes, and they might have the chance to claim her wares and waters. A polite bunch! Either way, she enjoys efficient and largely taciturn company — barring nights, when even the Scavengers who hold the watch entertain themselves with chatter.
Some appear grateful for the chance to visit Alem, beloved house of the skyless gods, the 'Gate of Heavens.' They praise it for being the wall and unyielding obstacle that has resisted months, if not years, of dire attack, preventing the eastern forces of undead liege Rakkathu from advancing westward. But one murmurs, Alem is not all so glorious, so sacred. They say, when they raised her, the citadel would not stand, bricks crumbling, foundations decaying, the work of every day destroyed overnight... until workers put the blood of good beasts and better men into the binding paste. And what of the chains on Alem's bridges of judgment? Left there to symbolise freedom from oppressors, why is it at night you hear them rattle as if waved by skeletal hands?
