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.

Wen Ning | The Untamed
PLAYER NAME: Kitty
CONTACT: PM journal
HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE GAME?: Existing Player
CHARACTER: Wen Ning
CANON: The Untamed
CANON POINT: Post canon
BACKGROUND: Here
ABILITIES | POWERS:
- Strength (due to being a puppet he's stronger than any ordinary human)
- Agility (better than a puppet without consciousness)
- Speed (better than a puppet without consciousness)
- Archery
- Medicine (But nowhere as skilled as his sister)
PERSONALITY: Wen Ning, before becoming a puppet, was a very kind and caring young man. To the point where he tries not to allow anyone to suffer.
His loyalty to someone he considers a friend is first shown after Wei Wuxian shows him kindness when helping with his archery skills. The other man had actively given him a bit of boost in confidence even when he'd been a bit shaky in the activity he was doing. After that kindness was shown he continued to show a loyalty that had no bounds. To the point of saving Jiang Wanyin and Wei Wuxian from the Lotus Pier. Wens had taken it over and had killed off Jiang Fengmian and Madam Yu. It had been him, in the dead of night, to help Wei Wuxian retrieve Jiang Wanyin even though his friend had thought him the enemy at first. Something he did his best to prove to the other that he wasn't, that he was there to save them.
Wen Ning takes both Wei Wuxian and Jiang Wanyin back to his sister deciding that hiding them away in the office his sister held would be the safest place for them. It wasn't like their cousin would come looking for them there. While there he petitions his sister to help Jiang Wanyin. After all, the man had been through a lot and he owed quite a bit (in his mind) to Wuxian. To a man who had done nothing but show him that there were those out in the world who were kind, even to people that weren't as good as them. (Or as healthy).
Then, during the Wen indoctrination, even at the risk of himself he steals medicine (from his own sister at that) for someone who had showed kindness to him, someone who had been trapped in a dungeon with a big dog, a mutt that he'd sedated with one of his sister's needles. This is all done despite the fact that his sister had told him that he should stay away from the other man. That he wasn't in the same league as the other, more or less. However, he'd pointed out to his older sister that Wei Wuxian had saved his life. So despite the fact that his own sister had tried to convince him to avoid his friend, the one who saved him, he couldn't. Much less when the man was being tortured by their cousin.
After becoming a living dead boy he doesn't lose any of his innocence or gentle nature. Though that does not mean that he can't feel guilt. Even though he can no longer really show emotion (let's face it, he tries) he is none too happy about the way that things went down when he killed people. (Even a certain Jin because that was his friend's nephew's father). Despite all of the guilt that he feels he doesn't allow that to bring him down. He doesn't allow anything that happened (when he didn't have his consciousness and when a certain demonic cultivator lost control) to take away from who he really is.
The Ghost General is, and always will be, a sworn protector of the people. Of those that he considers friends and family. Even if some of that family now happens to be a man in white who is with the man that he would follow to the ends of the Earth and possibly even beyond.
So it all comes down to a very protective, loyal, gentle, kind living dead boy. Someone who will put his life on the line in order to keep those around him safe. What little bravery he had (and he did have it, look at what he did for Jiang Wanyin and Wei Wuxian) before becoming a puppet he will gladly show for the rest of his life as a puppet.
SAMPLE: TDM & TDM
INVENTORY:
- Clothes on his back
- Chains
NOTES: Wen Ning is a puppet who will sink under water due to being a living dead boy. So something that keeps him from sinking to the bottom of the lakes (or any type of water), especially if he's going to help people get to safety (without the use of a boat).
