Search Insta App  

At High Reaches Weyr, we realize that the Search process is not for everyone, and that there are opportunities to be had to have some great roleplay during weyrlinghood. To this end, we’d like to offer the option to create an Insta Candidate/Weyrling, with a few guidelines.

The process to apply for an insta candidate is fairly simple and open to anyone, whether you have a dragonrider on the game or at High Reaches Weyr or not.

Insta applications will open shortly after standard Impression slots close, and will close shortly after our hatching.

Although we do not have a formal quota on Instas, we may or may not approve every application we receive.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact a member of the admin team (type ‘hrw .who/admins’) or email admins@hrweyr.net.

Application Process

• Fill out this application by the deadline.
• We will review it and then contact you about a possible ‘get to know you’ scene, which will likely be your candidate’s search.
• Once searched, you may play your character as a standard candidate.
• Acceptance will be provisional; if we have any concerns, we will talk to you before the hatching.
• At the hatching, your dragon will hatch and Impress via a modified set of NPC emits, which we will provide.

Some Guidelines

• We are open to any character concept, however bronzes may or may not be available, dependent upon traditional candidate applications.
• We strongly encourage you to read the logs available through the friends list of our Livejournal Community or available on our Wiki. This is so you can get a better idea of the style of play at High Reaches and what sorts of temperaments might complement our mix and what we might have too many of.
• Feel free to discuss with the admin or other High Reaches Weyr players, including other candidates, to see what might best fit with their/our history.

Please answer the following questions as fully as possible. Be honest in your replies. We will be picky, and may choose not to accept any applications.You have until TBA to submit this application. Applications will be reviewed as a group after our traditional candidate decisions have been made, and upon receipt after that date. Nonetheless, we encourage you to consider applying early.

Existing characters on the grid are more than welcome to apply.
