[August 30] BACKGROUND && FAQ Citadel is set exactly two hundred years in the future. Following nuclear warfare during the 21st Century, the United States as we know it has collapsed and, in its ashes, a new civilization is emerging. Built on what used to be Boston, New Boston is the largest city in North America (and, quite possibly, the world). Originally empowered by the population's desire for a safe world much like the one they lost, the government turned into something akin to a police state over the years—complete with curfews and overzealous punishments for rule breakers. They—the officials, the judges, the police, and so forth—can get away with about anything these days, as population is still much too afraid of anything like WWIII happening again. The majority will follow most any decree as long as it is accompanied by the promise of safety. Admittedly, with other countries busy rebuilding their own cities, starting more wars is the last thing on everyone's mind, but mass panic has never been rational. However, the threat of another war now pales in comparison to the crisis that the new world now faces. The population at large is unsure if they've always been around or if they've been created by the war, but the discovery of supernatural beings is on everybody's mind. Over the last five years, the knowledge of their existence has gone from mere rumors on the streets to the government actually addressing—and "handling"—the issue, sending out yet more forces to contain the threat and maintain order on the street. Prejudice, fear, and ignorance are rampant and tensions are high. It's becoming clearer than ever to those affected that the best way to survive in a human jungle is to keep their heads low and off of the police's radar, while still somehow maintaining a hold on their identities.

[August 30] RULES don't be a douche. Citadels is just a game, so please keep your drama out of it. We will tell you to leave if you start mixing IC and OOC or rob others of their enjoyment of the game. Literacy is something we take seriously, especially in threads and narratives. Capital letters, commas, and proper spelling are all there for you to use. Activity checks are done about every two weeks. Unless you are on hiatus or your character has only been in the community for less than a week, you are not excused from having an updated journal. We may give you an extension if you have been active elsewhere (comments, threads, etc), but otherwise, inactive journals will be given a notice and dropped. There is an "application limit." After the original round of adds and the start of the game, you must wait a week between each additional character and we will check for recent activity on your other journals. 0 +

[August 30] APPLICATION adds are done every weekend (or sooner, if we feel like). Copy and paste your application here. Be sure to have already set up your journal, uploaded at least one icon of your chosen pb, and requested membership to each of the communities. If denied, it was probably because your application didn't show one of the following: an understanding of your character; an understanding of the world we've set up; an understanding of proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation; or we simply didn't feel that your character fit Citadels. HOW CAN WE CONTACT YOU?: PLAYED-BY: include a few pictures that are above 600 x 600 resolution. was this person held for you? CHARACTER NAME: and nicknames, if applicable. DOB: if your character is a vampire, include the age they appear, too. SPECIES: if your character is a therianthrope, please include what their animal form is (and if they are in a pack, clan, or pride). was any of this held for you? HOW WERE THEY CREATED?: applicable to therianthropes & vampires only. HOME: include the part of town. OCCUPATION: BIOGRAPHY OR LIST OF FACTS: link. be sure to have it filtered to include ~citadels. JOURNAL: unlinked. JOURNAL ENTRY: one journal entry as your character, please. minimum 250 words. EXAMPLES: link to one recent thread example. more, if you want to wow us. 0 +
