i'm the wench if you're the cake ;)
Ever been interested in getting more involved with the Divinity of Altera? Think your character would strive to lead their religious sect? Wanted to try something exciting and interactive? This just might be the place for you!
To begin, please check this out:
{Click Here} -Official Lore of the Pantheon
and
{Click Here} -The High Church of Altera
The threads this post concerns are the stickied ones in those two sections- And if you haven't already, I highly recommend giving them a quick look over.
--------
As you surely read, the Exalted are to be the mortal presence of the Divines upon the Northern Kingdoms of Altera- working in their name and stead. Despite how amusing it certainly would be, I do not intend for those positions to simply fall out of thin air! To make sure everyone is OOCly on the same page, there is an application process for the Exalted. Feel free to apply even if there is an existing Exalted in the position your character falls into!
This is going to detail what the applicants should keep in mind should they wish to become involved. It will outline two parts- OOC and IC, respectively. Know that any member of this community has equal opportunity to participate- but that does not mean it will be easy for your character.
In addition to the Exalted, criteria for the Grand Inquisitor will also be included at the end of this post.
Lets get started, shall we~?
Those interested in taking a shot for the High Council with their character need to first contact the Lore Coordinator (Currently @Michcat ) OOCly, with their application. The purpose of this is to ensure that they can communicate and collaborate and touch base to ensure shenanigans go smoothly. There needs to be an OOC understanding that taking upon this role holds no small risk for their Character, and they must be able to not only prevent OOC knowledge from affecting IC actions (Metagaming)- but to respect confidentiality. Similarly, breaking the server rules will remove your character from the Exalted position (You can find the Kings Law inside the Survival Guide tab!)
It is also good to keep in mind that you may be doing a good amount of writing, organizing, and/or threads work- And if you don't think these activities are the ones for you, you may wish to enlist the help of a close friend or perhaps seek a different avenue of roleplay.
Please contact the Coordinator through this thread so they don't receive a barrage of Private Messages- unless you believe in contacting you will handle sensitive information, then by all means send a private message.
It is encouraged to use the form laid out below!
On the IC side of things, character development will always be a matter of great importance- As it ties in so closely with roleplay (And this is, of course, a roleplaying server). However, being OOCly compatible is only slightly more important then In-Character compatibility, given the sensitive nature of these matters.
It is generally helpful if your character has a history of worship or contact-of-good-terms with the divine in question. Characters have been able to touch upon the world of the Pantheon for a very long time now, and it is more then feasible to hold some sort of past dealings with them.
Arranging the position of Exalted will occur through roleplay and character development within the server- even if some OOC setup may be done through the forums. Think of this as more of a show of interest then anything.
To apply for Exalted:
Add this form into your message (Be it on the thread or in a PM)
+IGN: -
Character Name: -
Divine of choice: -
Have you read the relevant OOC and IC components of this position and the High Council thread, and are there any issues? If so, please clarify here: -
History of IC worship: -
Examples of OOC leadership (Events, organizations, running a town, etc.): -
Why are you interested? -
Please restate the information of this thread (Pertaining only to an Exalted), in your own words: -
The Grand Inquisitor.
Similar to the position of Exalted, the Grand Inquisitor will hold criteria in both OOC and IC terms. There is little difference to what is written above- Communication, collaboration, confidentiality and contact will all be necessary traits. As does being one for writing, organizing, and forum-thread business!
In-Character, the Grand Inquisitor is a position largely impartial. While the specifics will be created through roleplay upon the server, a good basis is to keep the Grand Inquisitor the sort of being who can make all the tough (but 'necessary') decisions. They will need to- as the name implies- lead the Order of the Inquisition.
To apply for the Grand Inquisitor:
Add this form into your message (Be it on the thread or in a PM)
+IGN: -
Character Name: -
Divine of choice (If relevant, this is unnecessary here): -
Have you read the relevant OOC and IC components of this position and the Inquisition thread, and are there any issues? If so, please clarify here: -
History of IC leadership positions: -
Examples of OOC leadership (Events, organizations, running a town, etc.): -
Why are you interested? -
Please restate the information of this thread (Pertaining only to the Inquisitor position), in your own words (Can be super short): -
Each Exalted and Grand Inquisitor will be asked to name an Heir/Marshall, respectively. Once this business is underway, should something fall upon the Exalted or Grand Inquisitor (I do not fault anyone for developments that would create this situation nor expect it to come about, I only plan for it for the sake of smoothness), it will be their heir who takes their place. Should the heir also be unavailable, these applications will be reviewed and the position go to the most worthy candidate.
Good luck!
