Greetings,

You've seen the role calls before.  You know what I want.  This one's going to be short and sweet:

I want your application.
I want your PC's goals.  I want their dreams.  I want their desires.  I want their phobias.
I want to see you bleed your best application yet into the queue.

And I want you to be ready.

The Templarate is not easy.  I will not coddle you.  I will not give you an easy time.  I will help you out in every way possible, but the Templarate is very sink or swim.  You can make mistakes, and those mistakes can have consequences.  Those consequences can and might just involve your PC taking an entirely different path in life than they originally intended.

You will have the might of an entire Empire at your hands... and a sword over your neck at all times reflecting all the daggers aimed at your back.

Can you take it?  Can you keep His Walls safe from all the myriad threats of Zalanthas?  Will your PC someday have a statue made of them... or will their name be forgotten and drift away like so much sand?

My expectations:
Weekly reports until I know you have your feet under you. Then we can move to every other week or so.
Decent playtimes with reliable hours.  You don't need to be on all the time, but consistency is important.
The ability to work with others. Both staff and players will be depending on you to get things done.
A Generally Respectable Record.  Bad account notes won't sink you, but the fewer the better.
Verifiable understanding of Allanaki Politics.
Verifiable understanding of Allanaki High Society.

The ability to play from a computer. Get off your phone, people!!  Full keyboards and proper emotes.
The absolute understanding that this is A World and not A Block of Code.

You know how to write applications.  Lets see them! 

Bring your best.... and to the one who makes it - I hope you survive a while!

I will most likely be making my decision by 1/17/2021.  The latest this role option will stay open is 1/24/2021.
I seduced the daughters of men
And made the death of them.
I demanded human sacrifices
From the rest of them.
I became the spirit that haunted
And protected them.
And I lived in the tower of flame
But death collected them.
-War is my Destiny, Ill Bill

This role option is closed.

Well, well, well... it does seem about that time we get some freshly made, pretty robes on someone, doesn't it? Then, of course, promptly get them bloody.

We have one (1) open Templar position to fill.

I'm not going to feed you gifs, pics or hype akin to Looon's post above. I'm going to give it to you straight. This role will be intense. It will be challenging. It will have plenty of chances to fall into political traps or die on the field against one of His enemies. I am also going to tell you, the absolute metric shit ton of things that are currently 'In the works' from myself and the rest of the staff team is going to demand some rock-solid Templars to handle. Is that you and your concept? Get 'em in.

The above still holds true.

Down to the wire, folks. Just a matter of hours. We've had a really strong showing so far. You all sure love your blues.
Nessalin: At night, I stand there and watch you sleep.  With a hammer in one hand and a candy cane in the other.  Judging.

And CLOSED!

A big thank you to all that have thrown their hat into the ring on this go-round. I'll choose our victim/volunteer and get the assorted replies out to everyone tomorrow.
