[EVENT] Beyond the Horizon [SOVEREIGN AUDITIONS]

[Official Dusk Account]

Dusk Sovereign Auditions

BEYOND THE HORIZON

 Months ago Solis, Oriens, and Caligo had descended over the mortal world. Solis had brought his light to the Solterans, calling them to choose their leader. Oriens and Caligo had called for new prospects to step forward. 

And Vespera? Well, she had been left behind. Perhaps she deserved it. She had angered her people, her mortals, years ago now. They no longer trusted her to help them choose their leader, to help them build their kingdom. Perhaps they were right, perhaps she had stretched their trust too far, back when storms had ravaged the land. 

But it was no matter now. Marisol had fallen, and Elena had taken up her throne at her behest. But the golden girl was gone, and Vespera knew not why. Perhaps the weight of a crown had been too much on the woman, or maybe she hadn’t desired it from the beginning at all. Maybe a tragedy had fallen onto her shoulders as well. Regardless of the reason, Elena was gone, and dusk could not stay long without a ruler. 

Vespera did not wait for her fathers urging. She followed the sun down, pedestal just before it, her shadow stretching far over the cobblestones.

“Come my children of Terrastella”

She called out, her voice carrying over the crisp evening winds. 

“Elena is gone. To where I do not know, but her throne sits empty, and her crown without a head to rest on.” 

She looked over the crowd that was quickly gathering, her eyes scanning for even a trace of the golden girl. She found none.

“Someone must take her place, but which of you has a heart strong enough to give to my children of dusk?”

Rules to Apply

All auditions are due by 11:59PM EST on April 5th.

Before filling out the form found at the bottom of the page, you must read the rules and guidelines below, as well as everything posted on this page! Please ask us if you have any questions or concerns at all!

• Character Requirements:



• You can audition both existing characters and brand new characters, however both are required to make an IC post responding to this post! This thread has been temporarily opened so that both OOC, pending, and accepted IC accounts may make their replies for the audition.


• Anyone from any Court can apply.


• Your character must be at least three years old.


• You (the member) will need to have originally joined Novus at least 2+ months ago.


• You do not have to create a character account unless you are chosen. In the event that you are chosen as Sovereign, you will have 2 weeks to create your character's profile (it should be easy, since all of the information is already required to fill out the audition form).


• You can audition as many characters as you'd like! Each needs a fully separate post and application in this thread.



• General rules and requirements regarding Sovereigns:



• Please be aware that these requirements may change in the very near future. Keep this in mind when applying, and be on the lookout for official announcements!


• Regarding Sovereign vulnerability: Sovereigns will be deemed Vulnerable if you make 10 IC posts or less per month (this means that it will be extremely easy for anyone to win a Challenge against you), and posted absences only make you immune for 2 weeks.


• Sovereign activity requirements: To promote activity within their respective Courts, the Sovereign must setup 1 IC event every other season.


• Once you are selected and your profile approved, your first duty will be to create a Court Rules thread in your respective Court forum. Read this thread for things you can do as Sovereign.



• Regarding this audition:



• All auditions are due by 11:59PM EST on April 5th. Novus-standard time is listed on the main page.


• You must make an IC post replying to this post AND post the OOC audition form! Both must be included in the same post, with the IC post first and the OOC audition form underneath it.


• Please, only reply to this thread if you are auditioning for Sovereign.
  
  
• The IC post can have your own personal coding and art - but that will not affect the outcome.


• All responses to this thread will be considered complete, whether they are actually finished or not. Please do not post Work in Progress auditions!


• Please do not alter the OOC audition form itself. Although we love to see special coding and pretty pictures, we want to be as impartial as possible - and as much as we'd like to say we're fairly objective, special coding and pretty pictures can impress us! We want these to be bare-bones.


• As you're filling out the audition form, pretend you're filling out an actual profile. Make sure you adhere to all Character Rules set out here.


• Votes for the final pick of who will be Sovereign, will be determined by Court vote.


• when placing your vote for the next sovereign you should consider the quality of writing, how well the characters fits court ideals, the members proposed plans and goals, and their general activity

If you have read through the rules, understand the requirements, and still want to audition for Sovereign, please make an IC reply to this post and put your completed OOC audition form (below) underneath it!
