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
Your character joins the party during its sojourn at the House of Manouk. He may travel with them onwards, when they escape back into the real time of Akhuras… to a place of sweet, sweet respite.
There will be certain opt-in quests available in this period — including one exclusive to newcomers. Participate in whatever you like 😊
The Merchant has his ways to barter information about his new protegees, and at time shares this knowledge with his representative to the party, the witch Karsa. Upon return to Akhuras, the Merchant sends Lucy the following letter, alongside an otherwise blank paper bearing the wax seal of a raven:
I understand you are bereft of certain accoutrement. Turn this paper to the nearest blacksmith or iron vendor.
I trust you will use this safely, wisely, and with care.
With esteem,
A merchant
If the paper is surrendered to a blacksmith, weapons vendor or merchant who sells weapons, Lucy may receive either a blade weapon (wide-blade sword, rapier, dagger), shield or a household trinket — the choice is entirely yours. Sadly, the item would not be magically imbued or spirit repelling.
There is no need to respond to the letter.
