▶ high rank auditions
it's my belief that high ranks are the heartbeat of every forum - without active high positions, sites inevitably die. so please bear this in mind when auditioning for your high ranks: make sure you can uphold the responsibility and expectations placed upon you when accepting these positions. expectations for each rank can be found here.
deadlines will be posted once a number of auditions has been submitted, members are expected to have their auditions posted and complete by the deadline.
to audition, members must post their character's biography, an ooc reason on why you think your character is suiting, and a role-play sample (prompts for that rank will be given). the form you must fill out is here:
THUNDERCLAN:
medicine cat apprentice.
RIVERCLAN:
none.
SHADOWCLAN:
medicine cat apprentice.
WINDCLAN:
none.
members may have up to two high ranking characters each, however they may not be of the same clan, and they may not be of similar ranks. this means that if you have a leader, you may not audition for a deputy/leader in another clan. similarly, if you have a medicine cat, you may not audition for another medicine cat or mca in another clan. one leadership rank, one healing rank.
i like diversity and unique characters. my main interest is plot-ability, this means that your character does not necessarily have to be the best person for the position to get the job. i like volatility, i like being able to utilize character's dispositions to set plots in motion. an example of this is onyxfeather - he most certainly isn't the best character to be in a deputy position, but because of his disposition, there are a lot of possibilities to set plots in motion (he means the best for his clan, but this could pose a huge threat to any rivalling clans, because he would stop at nothing, for example).
i do not like perfect personalities, and so i expect to see personalities that are balanced with both good and negative traits, and flawed dispositions. your characters will be pushed to the limits and tested - diplomacy and pacifism is all fine and dandy, but expect other clans to capitalize on your character's weaknesses and vice versa!
