A Quest for Permanent Residency in Songerein
SO WHO WANTS TO STAY IN SONGEREIN PERMANENTLY?
Probably not that many, but there may be a few who hold some interest. But before I do that, I gotta do the mod disclosure:
So as mentioned in Eustace's journal post, he's wondering if there are any others who would like to be involved. And that leads to me asking who those players are! As mentioned in the OOC note, I'll use other characters and players to help develop the actual method, be it needing to fulfill a certain objective or finding a special, magical object. This way the end result will feel more organic and really feel like something the characters worked hard towards.
No real restrictions on who sign up, though I would prefer those who hold legitimate interest and plan to stay in the game long term for this endeavor to comment. Everyone else can of course help them without any need to sign-up! I may also think of ways for general help, too. Those who have an actual stake in this may also receive more worthwhile clues, as one component to this will be strong desires to stay, so that will be incorporated in this.
So if you're ready to sign-up, comment here! You can freely post and discuss things directly to the entry. Suggestions for either the quest or how we should handle permanent characters on an OOC front are welcome.
Late edit: Just a quick note that there's no real hard "deadline" for sign-ups. While I would prefer to have a list of definite volunteers by the end of the month, anyone can join in even after things have started. Whether or not I can fit a special clue or something for late participants is not guaranteed, but I'll try!

Permanent residency is not that common in DWRP games for practical reasons—if a game is still ongoing and a player drops but the character remains, is that character now banned from being reapped? Or will they become an AU'ed NPC version that just exists in the background? EXCELLENT QUESTIONS that do affect the end result of this.
Which is why this is a quest that will span over several months and while the details are still being hashed out, I have a pretty good idea of what the IC and OOC end requirements will be. It won't be an easy "joined last month, now I want to be a permanent resident" deal—actual approval and various different proofs and show of long term commitment will be required whenever this becomes live, which could be closer to the end of 2023. By then I will have also decided on how "permanent characters" will be handled. I can at least say that whenever Song does reach "endgame," characters will have a guaranteed option to stay in the world, so this won't go against whatever plans on that front (and to be clear we're not near endgame, I'm just throwing that out there for transparency).
Of course, failure is an option, but it would be nice to give characters a happy ending they wish for.
Although this entry is for sign-ups, players are welcome to add suggestions, questions, and concerns, too.

Character: Hans Westergaard
Reason for Joining: He betrayed a princess and almost killed the queen, sooo he's a little bit 'I'm sort of fucked back home aren't I.' So, he might as well try and build something here, even if he won't have the chance to become king in this world. It's probably still better than whatever punishment he has to face back in the Southern Isles.
Suggestions: Hans will most likely not betray everyone. Okay, he's pretty well-rounded when it comes to combat and negotiation, and he's pretty interested in seeing this through, so he'll do what's needed. Hans can get along with most people and can work well in a team. His dreamotion specialty is ice magic if that helps.
