Ordis Regional Recruitment Thread - MT/Human-Only/CLOSED

Postby Kolintha » Sat Aug 15, 2015 7:50 am

Image


Welcome to the Region of Ordis - a veritable melting pot of cultures, races, religions and creeds. From the glittering azure waves of the great expanse that is the Thalassic Ocean, to the soaring mountain ranges and highlands of Northern Orda. Ordis' climate and geography is just as varied as it's inhabitants.

That is Ordis in character. Out of character, originally, we were an offshoot of the region of Greysteel, created when the RP scene there largely went flaccid, but over time, we have become much more than mere refugees. We later became a region called 'Escar', and developed quite a community in our year of independence from Greysteel. Now, we have moved to the glorious land of Ordis, due to issues with membership and founders.

Ordis is a rather relaxed region. Anybody can contribute to the running of the region by pitching ideas. One could call this a direct democracy, although regional politics isn't something that has ever gained traction in Ordis. And nor is OOC drama. Unlike many larger regions, Ordis is stable, and peaceful (at least in the out of character sense. We still love the odd war!)

Something to note when applying for membership is that we will be very strict in who we let in, and we encourage you to provide the highest quality writing sample possible. If we then choose not to accept you, we ask that you do not take it personally. You can always apply again if your writing improves.

The application process will have three stages: First, is the application review, in which you will post your app, and members of the region will point out any issues with it. Once that has been done, we will review your post history. For this reason, we ask that if your nation is a puppet created especially for this region, please specify your main nation.
Finally, if we have found nothing questionable in your post history, Kolintha, Nerotysia and Khornera will interview you, via whatever method we and you find most convenient. This will be done to ascertain your OOC character.

Other members of the region are free to endorse an applicant, but they will only be accepted once the nations mentioned above are in total agreement.









Some of our past works may be found below. Note however, that all Escari RPs listed below are non-canonical. Any FanT and FT RPs are non-canonical. Some solo RPs and smaller, more exclusive RPs may also be defunct and non-canonical.

Looks very neat indeed!

Shameless tag.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

Official Request of Membership to the Region of Ordis
National Information
Full Name of Nation: The Principality of Sarethan
Government Type: Semi-absolute, semi-constitutional monarchy (in the rough vein of Jordan, Morocco and Oman). There is an elected civilian government, but the shah holds more than just ceremonial power.
RP Population: (Less than 100 million) 25 million
Culture/Ethnicity: (Will determine where your nation goes on the map) Persian... mostly. Significant minorities, some immigrants, and personal twists.

Personal Information
Previous Regions: Atlas; Aeneas
RP/Writing Samples:
My posting nation for these is either Valaran or Imperial Valaran:

City of Thieves - Character Portrayal and Descriptive Piece (P2TM)
Faint Heart Never Won Fair Lady - Character RP
Artifice of Power - Star Wars P2TM RP
Crimson Snow - Military & Political
Beckoning Darkness - Character Portrayal and Descriptive (P2TM) (I found it got a lot better from my second post onwards; I was finding my feet initially)
Its an Isolated System - Character OP
Why do you want to join this region?: Friendly, relaxed atmosphere and a good rapport with several here.
Any trouble with the moderators?: Unofficial warning (under Valaran).

Misc.
Anything else?: How open are people to including a drawn plot on the map? I'm fairly easygoing on this, but I thought I might float the idea anyway.

Also, if people are concerned with activity, I won't be using this account much right now (giving me room to switch to Sarethan). My activity with Valaran will also dip somewhat.

Sarethan/Valaran, after reading some of your examples, I have decided to give you my [APPROVAL] for entry to Ordis. Two more will also have to review your application, bur for now I foresee no difficulty in that.

Founder Thoth, could you be a bit more specific with your government type? "Well-organized" isn't a form of government. If you'd also be able to write a sample that'd be great, seeing as the one you provided is somewhat lacking in content. A couple of paragraphs (preferably from the perspective of your nation) would be great and could really improve your chances of being accepted!

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

I should probably also give a shout out to Kolintha, or else I'd still be applying to Escar :P

Your app is of course accepted. A background check and interview shall soon follow. And muahaha, all would surely lose their way without Kolintha-chan's glamorous guidance.

We do, yes, though if you wish to make a proposal. I'm all ears. We planned to put Sarethan where the NPC 'Indona' is now (plot #88).

When you do have time, would you please further elaborate on this? As Father Khornera said, a 'well organized government' doesn't really describe your nation - like at all; Your RP sample is, to be quite blunt, subpar; and the fact you chose to apply, knowing you would not have enough time to make a quality application, does not reflect particularly well on you OOCly.

Full Name of Nation: NWA Industries
Government Type: Drug, Record, and Mercenary company.
RP Population: 700 employees.
Culture/Ethnicity: African American

Personal Information
Previous Regions: Realm of Chaos
RP/Writing Samples: NWA Industries

Eazy E, President and Commander in Chief of NWA Industries sat in his armchair. Eazy eyed the amber liquid and the golden glow of the glass-like cubes. He poked them with his nail to hear them jingle in the pre-dawn silence. He watched, entranced, as they bounce back up- remaining mostly submerged like mini icebergs. Wrapping his fingers around the glass, he felt his heat leach into the drink. Alcohol. The elixir of his life. He raised the glass to sip, feeling the keen burn on his tongue and throat. It was a feeling he longed for right from the end of his night-shift. By the time he inserted the key into his lock the single malt was on a closed loop in his brain, on endless replay until he unscrewed the cap. Eazy lowered the glass to the table, letting it fall heavily, but not so much it spilt. He rested his head in his left hand, still mesmerized by the fluid.

Why do you want to join this region?: I'm looking for a quality roleplaying region. I believe I've found one.

Any trouble with the moderators?: Nope.

Dear NWA Industries, I regret to inform you that Khornera rejects your application.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

You are rejected.

It is debatable whether what you posted can even be considered a nation. And even if it was, it is one built on ridiculous stereotypes.
Your writing sample, in addition, was not all that good.
