Hi everyone! Welcome to Eastbound, where nothing goes as planned, and the caravan-chasing bear is taking its sweet time making a cameo.

Without further ado, the game issssssss...

OPEN (FOR BUSINESS?)

Applications nevertheless remain open until 23:59 GMT, 2 April (Friday) for any further newcomers. They can join in on the fun at any point in time!

Please doublecheck your character is on the TAKEN LIST, when you have a second! You are welcome to consider canon any samples you wrote in the Sa-Hareth setting as part of your application. Note: transfer ongoing application sample threads to the Eastbound communities if you want any future tags to them to count towards activity check requirements.

Take a look over our first event: you can now ask any mod questions linked to it, or ask any questions to your black little hearts' content.

Oh, and here's our first OPEN EVENT LOG! But feel free to start up your own, or debut the IC network community @

eastbound.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Here your character is, minding their own or someone else's business in a tavern of the Sa-Hareth merchants' arena, when in comes a particularly persistent middle-aged woman with an eerily trademark haircut, insisting your character should give her prompt, first-class and no-nonsense service now, or she'll speak to their manager. How does your character react?

ii. A weirdly hapless humanoid undead that thinks itself a dog keeps following your character (home). What does your character name it?

PLAYER: Loren
CONTACT: contact post or Discord (ask me for username)
TELL US ABOUT YOUR FINE SELF: They/them or just use my name, as you like. Just another nerd in the midwest US, my day job is Japanese-English translation and I wish I knew more Chinese for hanging out with all these fictional boys :p I haven't been a DWRP regular for a long time but some of you probably remember me from Hakuouki fandom where I played Sannan. I'm also pretty into Dragon Age and Critical Role, and I play quite a bit of D&D :) Also a big tea enthusiast.

CHARACTER: Archeval aka Darth Imperius. He's a Customizable Bioware RPG Main Character lol, canon refers to him generically as the Sith Inquisitor.
CANON: Star Wars: The Old Republic (Bioware MMORPG)
ELEVATOR PITCH FOR YOUR CHARACTER: Very short, very cranky rags-to-riches Space Indiana Jones who occasionally eats ghosts. His day job is doing his best impression of an evil asshole and he almost certainly doesn't like you but would probably die for you anyway. While complaining about it the entire time.

ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:
i. Here your character is, minding their own or someone else's business in a tavern of the Sa-Hareth merchants' arena, when in comes a particularly persistent middle-aged woman with an eerily trademark haircut, insisting your character should give her prompt, first-class and no-nonsense service now, or she'll speak to their manager. How does your character react?

First he'll stop for 0.5 seconds of irritation that he can't just turn on 100% Maximum Haughtiness and be like "madam do you realize you're speaking to a Sith Lord, I could murder you right now and no one here would say a word except to ask what should be done with the body" like he could back home lol. After getting over that frustration he'll just coldly and not-particularly-kindly inform her that he doesn't work here, and if she doesn't promptly shut her mouth and stop interrupting the business of everyone around her then he will give her something to really have a problem about. Possibly with a hand on his lightsaber or whatever sharp object is on his person at the time, if he's feeling particularly cranky.

This would all be extra hilarious if he happens to be wearing his ancestor Kallig's famous helmet at the time.

ii. A weirdly hapless humanoid undead that thinks itself a dog keeps following your character (home). What does your character name it?

Nuisance. It would start as "just get out of here, you absolute nuisance!" and as the creature proved itself increasingly harmless (if unnerving) would turn into more of a complain-y sort of name as he would probably semi-adopt it over time. He has a bit of a weakness for awful uglycute pets, though he prefers ones that he can feel in the Force and that aren't uhh, rotting.

ANY EVENT PLANS SO FAR? He will be starting in the mines, plotting comment over here. He's overall bad-tempered but can grit his teeth and play nice for a while in the name of survival, which is exactly what he'll be doing during his stay at the House of Dew -- though having large parts of the brothel steer clear of him due to his semi-armored dress will suit him just fine. Oddly enough he's quite good at sewing/mending and cleaning, so since his other major skills are dark sorcery and killing people in very inventive ways, he'll probably be leaning on the first two quite a bit to support himself in the city...as well as simply taking what he needs, in small amounts, whenever a safe opportunity presents itself. His main concern will be simply surviving and gathering resources to get the hell out of here, and he'll be willing to help others do the same if they seem like useful allies or just very in need.
ANYTHING YOUR CHARACTER URGENTLY NEEDS FIGURED OUT IN SA-HARETH? He will be trying to pick up the local language(s) as fast as possible because the translation tech here sucks and none of these fuckers speak Basic or Huttese, what kind of far Outer Rim backwater is this man????

.........please tell me the Dark Lord is going to end up sewing everyone's clothes.

The Dark Lord is absolutely going to end up sewing everyone's clothes. All local useless princes, social media influencers, cultivators and Victorian aristocrats need to stop pretending they know how to use a needle and leave it to the professional.

Watch Lan Wangji mutely present silks for the mending, because he might have the conversational skills of a defunct hamster even with a translating device, but he has haberdashery needs for someone else to meet.

Arche will do his absolute utmost to help! Probably with some amount of cranky admonishment/grumbling that unidentified undead ichor does not like to come out of fabric and he wishes the locals could stick to good old-fashioned bloodstains. Honestly Wangji being quiet would suit this little asshole just fine, they might even unexpectedly get along -- Arche would certainly have a lot of respect for his sword skills.

how about a child of light tho

Sounds like someone who would make him very cranky but I feel like these two could very well end up teaming up to help other folks through the mines together. How does Eleven feel about working with somebody who's a bit of an impatient jerk? At least before getting his equipment and powers back he doesn't resemble an evil dark lord quite as much as usual...

That would be cool. El would probably just play it as he did the last impatient jerk he had to work with: frowning quietly. Though at that time, he didn't have other people to look after and this bean isn't going to let anyone fall behind, so probable calls for more patience on their behalf.

yay let's learn languages!!!!

trying to collect and teach each other the local lingo could be a fun exercise :) honestly Arche should pick up Chinese too, lol.

Moran has been confusing Winnie with homophones, it's going great.

also his boyfriend's superpower is actually understanding languages so it'll help.
