CREATE

CHARACTER CREATION

You play as a citizen of Ross Lake, an isolated mountain community still surviving twenty nine years out from the initial outbreak. All walks of life make up the population: many of your fellow residents arrived from the savage world outside, others have been born right in Ross Lake proper. Regardless of your past and circumstances, you have all come together to call this small refuge home.

WRITTEN APPLICATION

Applicants will be judged on their ability to create interesting, unique characters that engage with the story. While writing quality is important, we value creative concepts, engaging roleplaying, and world fit above all else.

If you’d like to keep any information secret from your fellow members you can create a private document and public document, but please be sure the mods have access to all your character information.

Information that should be included in your written application:

• Name
• Age
• Pronouns
• Personality
• Backstory
• Class
• Roleplayer Info

Information that could further flesh out your oc:

• Likes & Dislikes
• Strengths & Weaknesses
• Profession
• Relationships
• Rumors

Considerations when writing your character:

It is beneficial to integrate your character into established world lore - namely as a member of Ross Lake’s community. Not only will your oc feel like a part of the party, it will also give us as mods an opportunity to write them into story beats.

While we always love a good mean spirited or controversial character please keep in mind your oc will be required to work with the rest of the party. If you find your character concept might derail the story, cause fights every event, or simply run off as a lone wolf - it would be in your best interest to pick another.

This group is plot-focused, and as such, characters should be crafted to follow along with PostHuman’s story. We want characters that on a meta level, are self-motivated and willing to venture beyond Ross Lake, as that will make participation and integrating them into the narrative all the more easier.

VISUAL APPLICATION

Applicants must illustrate at least one full body drawing on the visual template. Feel free to adjust the visual template to your liking so long as it stays recognizable.

Commissioned art as well as bases are totally fair game. We are not judging apps based on the quality of the art, artists of any and all skill levels are welcome here. The only thing that will get you denied is stealing others' work or using AI art in your app.

Considerations when designing your character:

While there is no designated uniform, character clothing should reflect this being a post apocalyptic group set in a deeply forested mountain. Attire in Ross Lake is largely limited to what can be scavenged and mended or handmade articles. Consider that your character’s class would impact their choice in workwear as well.
