Yes, that time is upon us once again. We are now accepting applications
for Celani candidates, who will potentially rise within the Garden to
join the Gods within the Pantheon. We're seeking applicants with a very
strong roleplaying focus. Successful candidates will be adept at
thinking on their feet, and won't shy away from diving into immersive
player interaction on any scale. If you think you have what it takes to
craft and execute compelling and consistent roleplaying events, please
read on!

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.
- Read HELP CELANI and HELP PROMOTIONS in full.

Now, here's what you must include in your application, in a plain-text,
non-formatted email to celani@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.

4. Otherwise: your real occupation and your company's name.

5. Your character(s) in Achaea and what you have accomplished through
those characters, especially any leadership positions you have held or
other noteworthy achievements.

6. Why you think we should make you a Celani (keeping in mind that
Celanihood precedes Godhood, so also why you think you should have the
chance to be a God).

7. 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.

8. Two flawless room descriptions of 80+ words each. You MUST READ the
section on room descriptions at the bottom of the HELP MORTAL BUILDERS
file and follow the writing guidelines therein. DO NOT SKIP THIS. The
MAJORITY of applications I've received in the past have ignored some
part of the explicitly stated writing guidelines. What this tells me is
that you lack attention to detail and the ability to follow given
instructions, and neither of these traits make good Celani candidates.

9. A brief outline for an IC event, totalling 100 - 200 words. This
should be of the scope that you see in our regular EVENTS news posts,
and should involve at least two of Achaea's player-run organisations
(i.e. Cities, Houses).

10. Any special experience outside of Achaea that you think might help
you in Celanihood, such as customer service background or writing
experience.

Strong writing skills are a must, as is the ability to work within an
often demanding and perfectionistic 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.

Your application MUST be received by midnight on Sunday, August 22 GMT.
(That's 8pm Saturday EST, 5pm Saturday PST, and 10am Sunday Sydney.)

Penned by My hand on the 25th of Aeguary, in the year 545 AF.
