Reminder: Celani Apps Are Always Open
Hi folks!
A new year means we have some room for new Celani in the Garden, so I’m writing to remind everyone that applications are always open and the roles available in HELP CELANI are up to date as of today.
For those who are not aware, Celani is a volunteer position on the Garden team with the opportunity to help shape Achaea’s world, story, and content in a myriad of different ways.
Whether you’re passionate about building, possessing denizens, or playing a God role in full, there’s always a swath of ways to leave a permanent mark on Achaea as one of the squad.
HELP CELANI again has all the relevant details, but in particular at present we are looking for roleplay-focused people with a passion for the story and the setting.
In order to apply, you must meet the following criteria:
– You must be 18 years or older IRL. Sorry, minors!
– You must have, at absolute minimum, at least 500 hours of playing time
– Have read HELP CELANI in full (in particular the FAQ)
– Be in good standing with the Garden and admin team
Now, here’s what you must include in your application, in a plain-text, non-formatted email to ictinus@achaea.com:
1. Your real name.
2. Your real age.
3. If you are primarily a student, tell us your school and your course of study. Otherwise: your real occupation and your company’s name.
4. Your character(s) in Achaea and what you have accomplished through those characters, especially any leadership positions you have held or other noteworthy achievements.
5. Why you think we should make you a celani (keeping in mind that celanihood normally precedes Godhood, so also why you think you should have the chance to be a God if that’s the route you want to take.)
6. Why you want to do this, knowing that you will have to completely cut off ties with other (mortal) players and leave behind all that you accomplished as a mortal player.
The above point is perhaps the most important of all when considering becoming Celani. Potential applicants should seriously consider their ability to detach from existing social networks and establish new ones in a different environment. This is a very important factor and is one of the highest causes for failure in Celani candidates.
7. Two flawless room or denizen descriptions of 80+ words each. Please be sure to have read HELP MORTAL BUILDERS and HELP STYLE before submitting these. Do not skip this!
8. A brief outline for an interesting and original IC event, totalling 100 – 200 words. This should be of the scale that you see in our EVENTS news posts.
9. Any special experience outside of Achaea that you think might help you in Celanihood, such as customer service background, DM roles, or writing experience.
10 – OPTIONAL – If you have been a team member in the past, please explain why it did not work last time and why this will not be the case again.
Strong writing skills are a must, as is the ability to work within an often demanding and perfectionist team environment. Other traits that will help you: consistency, creativity, improvisational skills, storytelling ability, maturity, attention to detail, dependability, and above all, a love of Achaea and the world we co-create here.
If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message or email to ask.
