Advanced Application

The following is the Advanced Application: This questionnaire is available to you in-game by selecting the Advanced Background option in Character Creation, and you will answer the questions directly in-game through that process. This page is to provide players the opportunity to explore the application offline.

This option will require a staff to read and approve your application before you can leave the Harbor. Depending on time of day, this can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours for response.

Instructions

Any historical events and real-world history are considered canonical for our setting up to the year 1866 AD. From there, our alternate Timeline of Events begins. Our timeline primarily reflects a European perspective, as the setting is largely dominated by survivors originating from that region of the world.

If you wish to explore perspectives from other regions and cultures, please keep your narrative reasonable, focused on your character’s personal journey. For larger-scale ideas or questions about conceptualizing your character’s background, please consult with staff for guidance.

Please write your answers in a narrative paragraph format. Your responses will be combined into a cohesive story once completed, and can be referred back in your characters codex (as well as by staff).

Origins

Describe your character's birth and heritage. Who were their parents, and what was their socioeconomic background? Where were they born, and how did these origins shape their identity?

Childhood

How was your character raised? Did they experience poverty or privilege? How did they spend their days, and what lasting impact did their early years leave upon them?

Adolescence

What defined your character's teenage years? Were they educated formally, apprenticed, or forced into labor? Something else entirely? Note significant experiences or events that marked this period and influenced their worldview.
