You are not required to use the provided written app template. But it would be pretty cool if you did.
Your character must have the following information:
✦
For this opening, we are restricting the kinds to tarred and man only. We will also be putting a heavy emphasis on accepting non-male characters.
We will be accepting 5-10 new members.
✦
Character Name ✦ Keep in mind the lore related to names!
Character Age ✦ Must be 18+
Kind ✦ Man or Tarred
Gender and pronouns ✦ Exactly what you think
Appearance ✦ Maximum of 600 words
Personality ✦ List at least three positive, three neutral, and three negative traits. The prose should be no longer than 600 words.
Backstory ✦ While there is no minimum, your backstory should be substantial and cover relevant factors. A maximum of 2,000 words. Please provide a tl;dr that does not exceed 300 words. Remember to provide content warnings.
Combat Sheet ✦ This should be completed or near completion. If there are questions or confusions, those can be addressed after acceptance or within a ticket.
App Art ✦ App art is NOT a requirement. However, a visual app will be provided for those who would like to use it. While it may not be required, we would still love to see them! You are free to use commissioned or gifted art (or any other art you have permission to use). AI art is not allowed; please refer to our rules.
When creating your character, you are given freedom in many areas to get creative.
Though the lore may be plentiful, the world of Boreal Echoes has intentionally left many, many blank spaces to be filled as you wish. Use existing locations and region descriptions to help guide you if you want to create an original town for your character to originate from. Use existing societal structures or organizations as inspiration for that shadowy thief network your character is a part of.
While not anything goes, we will attempt to accommodate all ideas that feel fitting for the setting, making adjustments and working with you as necessary.
Even in mechanics, you have freedom to reflavor as you wish. For example, reflavoring one of the theurge's "devotions" to fit a different Vigil. The owner is even willing to rework certain mechanics to better fit your character post-acceptance.
If you have ever played a ttrpg campaign before, the goal is for Boreal to feel much the same. We will endeavor to make the experience decently personalized for the cast, and to allows players to genuinely effect the world they're interacting with. This starts in character creation - we want to see your ideas for this world!

Of course, we are looking for some specific things while reviewing applications which will factor into your acceptance. These are:
Players with a decent grasp on the world's lore, and showing a genuine interest in it. We are looking for people willing and excited to dig into the world, exploring not only what exists but also to expand on it with their own contributions.
Players showing a clear understanding of the tone of both the RP as a whole and the world.
Characters with connections to the world, who feel deeply integrated into it. Characters should not feel like they belong a different setting.
Characters who fill a narrative niche or a unique space in the cast. We do not want a cast with too many characters that are too similar to each other.
