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.

Ruka Minazuki | Fatal Frame 4
CONTACT:
HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE GAME?: points at eyes, points at ruxi
CHARACTER: Ruka Minazuki
CANON: Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse
CANON POINT: Phase IX: Descent, when she enters her family home
BACKGROUND: https://wiki.thelostvillage.net/index.php/Ruka_Minazuki
ABILITIES | POWERS: Ruka is able to see spirits, but that's about all. Without her Camera Obscura she doesn't appear capable of exorcising them or anything like that.
As a descendent of the Tsukimori Maidens, her music has the ability to soothe agitation and in particular the Moon Song, which at this time she can only remember snippets of, can help trigger lost or buried memories in people
PERSONALITY: Ruka is dedicated and driven. As a child she studied piano and this continued well into her adulthood. She is studious and hard-working, practicing and honing her skills. It brings her peace and also brings her closer to her lost memories, as well as being a source of peace for the others. Madoka talks about Ruka playing for them often, which implies Ruka keeps touch with them and cares about their well-being. Even despite her mother making her promise to never return to the island, Ruka returns anyhow to help her friends--and herself--with recovering the truth of what happened there in the hopes of saving themselves and each other.
It's this dedication to her craft and to her friends and family that helps save them in the end. Ruka is able to remember most of the lunar melody and her ability to read music helps her put together the rest of the song needed to "calm the moon" and clear the Moonlight Syndrome.
Ruka is also shown to be very caring and kind, even from a young age. She constantly worries about her father working so hard, and even as an adult she worries about his spirit and what happened to him. Instead of being angry and upset with how he treated her and caused her to develop Moonlight Syndrome in the first place, she's more concerned with figuring out why he was doing all this and what his thoughts were.
Ruka is curious to a fault. While it's natural to be curious and inquisitive about some things, Ruka can't leave well enough alone. Once she gets it in her head to figure something out, she'll stop at nothing to see it through the end. While in away this is a good thing, it's also what led her to returning to the dangerous island of her childhood. Her mother's pleas forbidding her from going back weren't enough for her to quit.
Also thanks to her father and to the Moonlight Syndrome, Ruka is wary of things like masks, mirrors, and the moon. She also likely has some unease with hospitals and the like, but generally, despite having the daylights scared out of her at every turn, she's learned to manage her fear quietly. Mostly so she doesn't attract unwanted attention from other ghosts.

NOTES
INTRO
Since quite a few newcomers are interested in a plot-heavy approach, there’ll be a special scenario exclusive to you folks in the upcoming event. Stay tuned.
If you can, please shout here over the next 48h if you’d like your character to get a mod-assigned:
2. …housing?
3. haunting? If so, please describe in no more than two sentences one of her biggest regrets.
Re: ACCEPTED
2. Shove her in a house of your choosing, have fun.
2. One of her biggest regrets is that she can't remember her father's face. She can't remember a time of seeing him without the mask on and her illness has caused her to forget so much about him specifically. He caused her Moonlight Syndrome to begin with, but she just wants to remember more about him and at this point in time, she can't.
