Application

Please, fill out the following and comment to this post with it. If you'd prefer, you can send in your application via e-mail (mods@beyondtherift.com) where the entire process will remain private. Refer to this post for an explanation of what we're looking for. Remember when applying, you have a week from your acceptance to intro within the game.

Please, add the name of your character in the subject line. You can place part #s beside the name in the subject if you'd like but make certain the name is there.



This is for AU applications only. Please check our AU Guidelines before applying.


We will wait two weeks before processing applications in casts that are over the size of ten. In addition, there is now a two week wait between applications for the same mun. You apply for one and get accepted, but then have to wait two weeks to apply for another character.

When you have two active characters in game, you can apply for a cameo character. Information about what kind of characters qualify for cameo status is here.

If you've been on hiatus, please, don't apply until you have returned to full activity (there's a two week wait generally).

Please, direct any questions regarding the application to this post or to the mod e-mail.

APPLICATIONS ARE CLOSED

Reserves Page

Reserving a character gives you time to write an application for a character without the fear of someone else applying for that character before you can finish your application.

Reserves last exactly two weeks. If you have not filled your reserve at that time, you can ask for an extension (up to a week) on the reserve. After that, you will not be able to reserve that character again for two weeks, but you can still apply for them.

You may reserve one character at a time.

Reserves (sorted alphabetically by canon)

Clint Barton - Marvel Comics AU - March 11

If you want to reserve a character, please, fill out the following and post it into a comment below.

Contact Post

While we welcome basic questions always wherever you can get a hold of us, we like to keep requests for characters confined to either e-mail or to this post where communication and discussion can be kept both private and professional. This gives the mods the chance to seriously look over the request, make sure that it works within the confines of the universe's world, and respond accordingly. It also lets us separate our official mod communication from our fun, friendly player communication with everyone.

Feel free to send big plot or character-plot requests that you have to either our email (mods@beyondtherift.com) or this post, which is screened.

We do our best to respond to all requests left in this port or by e-mail within a week's time. Please be patient. We want to make sure that we respond best for both what you would want and what works within the confines of the game. We will do our best to make sure that what you would want for your character works or that a viable alternative is offered instead. We make no promises, but we do want all of our players to have as much fun as they can and to feel the freedom of being able to start and be involved with plots on a large scale.

You may also send us any comments, questions, or concerns here.

About Cameos

What is a cameo character? A cameo character was originally introduced for characters who are side characters in a canon (ones that have less source material, are more difficult to brain, and not in demand in the RP world), for original characters especially within the Riftverse, and for plot characters who were only in the game for specific plot reasons. Thus they would not always be able to make AC because they might not always be in use or could be in use for a very short amount of time. Cameo characters should not be main characters from popular fandoms as cameos were created to help those playing side characters from canons or those who wanted to play an original character but may struggle with the voice for one on a regular basis or for plot purposes.

How many cameo characters can I have? You can have one cameo character for every two active characters that you have in game so the ratio is 2 active characters to 1 cameo character. It means if you want 2 cameos, you should have 4 active characters in game and so on.

How can I apply for a cameo character? The application for applying for a cameo character is the same application used for applying for an active character simply indicate at the start of the application or the title that you are applying for them to be cameo and state how they meet the qualifications for cameo. For instance, "I am applying for Death from Supernatural with cameo status, because he is only in a few episodes, and I want to use him for a specific plot, but he isn't really a character that can be played long term." or "I am applying for this original character under cameo status, because they work as a forger and I would like to give other characters someone to interact with as a forger, but they wouldn't get regular activity." 

You can also request that one of your characters be given cameo status at any point throughout your playing them later. In order to do so, make sure the character meets the qualifications for a cameo and then e-mail the mods with the reason why you'd like them to become one.

Suggestion Box

The Rifts cause breaks in space and time, all across the universe. For years, they have been threatening to split the fabric of reality apart. As of August 2011, the Rifts have begun to experience severe saturation with so many Wanderers falling through, emitting Rift shocks throughout the city. No one is immune to them.

What does this mean? Well, it means there are more possibilities for disasters and mayhem in a city where there's an Apocalypse every other year.

Monthly, there will be a Rift-themed event.

The mods started off these events with secrets week and it's only the first of many to come.

We want input from all players for the rest of the events! Is there any specific event you'd like to see? A game-wide plot idea you've been meaning to send off to the mod inbox?

Leave it all here. Ideas, suggestions, comments--anything at all.

Comments are screened.
