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.

He IS an odd one, sorry to make this complicated for you ^^ Just to ensure I'm not leaning on my own interpretation too much, I doubled checked the Wiki.

The TL;DR: There are two events. The Snap (in which people died) and the Blip (in which people were resurrected).

The longer explanation: The Snap is in the Wiki referred to as death / extermination of life / disintegration / genocide. The Avengers specifically chose not to undo this ever happening, since 5 years of time had passed for everyone who wasn't snapped, and undoing Thanos' actions would also undo the lives everyone else lived in that time period. Instead they opted to bring everyone who was snapped back to life in the present. Being blipped is specifically referred to as being resurrected and being restored. As a result the wiki lists a date of death as well as resurrection for Sam.
