in order to foster a healthy environment for both members & admins alike , we will be practicing 'healthy admin hours' when managing the main. admins will typically be online between the hours of 6 PM - 10 PM EST on weekdays with mondays & wednesdays being quiet evenings for the admins to focus on maintaining a healthy balance. if the admins are needed during off-hour times , please feel free to send the main an instant message !
im heartbroken i didnt get accepted but i wouldnt send any hateful shit, that seems... insane. anyway! so excited to see how this goes and maybe try and sneak in when there's more acceptances in the future!
hi anon -- we 100% understand and rest assured , we were talking about how hard it was to decline some of these applications. we know it is hard and we would never tell anyone that it's wrong to be upset or heartbroken to not get a spot. but we really appreciate messages like this ! there is much more to come in store and we are so excited to get the ball rolling and hope to have you back soon ! thank you for the encouragement ! we appreciate it !
so happy for everyone who got accepted but also so crushed to not be one of them. is there any chance you would consider ocs from the batch of people who didnβt make it?
hey anon ! thank you for this question - we do plan to make an opportunity for more characters to join us in the near future , so never fear ! keep an eye on the main & you won't miss a thing <3
good morning all ! what a crazy night ! both admins were up way later than they needed to be to get all of the applications read & to make our decisions - & while we had a fun time , it wasnβt easy. we want to express that we made our choices based on many , many factors. we also want to say that we totally understand that itβs disheartening to work on an application just to not get accepted ; it has happened to both of us on more than one occasion & we empathize with how thatβs not the worldβs greatest feeling. that being said ; we started with 10 open roles & received more than 30 application. the admins worked very hard on this premise , the group , & frankly busted our lil butts getting all 150+ pages of applications read to be able to post acceptances promptly last night. again , we understand that itβs upsetting to take a chance & not be accepted. . . but please do not take the time to send us rude or hurtful anonymous messages in our inbox. the admin team worked very hard to work to the best of our abilities & we will not be acknowledging or validating hurtful messages. if you have genuine concerns, you are more than welcome to reach out to us off anon & in our inbox. from here on out , any anonymous messages that are hateful or guilt-tripping will be deleted.
regardless of what we woke up to this morning we want to say - thank you to each & every one you who applied. we thoroughly enjoyed reading everything & honestly had a hard time coming to final decisions because we received so much quality & substance & well - written characters & backstories. invites to the discord server will be sent out shortly via the tumblr ims , so those who were accepted , please be on the lookout !
weβre so excited to get everyone together & get the ball rolling !
first and foremost , we wanted to take a moment to thank each and every single applicant that took the time to apply to st. ambrose. this was not , by any means , an easy decision. each and every application that we read today was so spectacularly written, nuanced, and in-depth... the fact that we could not select every single one of you was a crime in itself. with that said, we wanted to ensure that if you were not accepted during this round of acceptances, rest assured : this is not at all by any means a reflection of you and your writing skills. every application we received today was above and beyond. thank you so much for making our group thrive . if you were not accepted , you are free to reach out to us for feedback but please be patient with us as we work to get everything squared away.
in addition , it is very late for both the admins so before we dive right in to our taken roles , a housekeeping note : our invitation links will be sent out tomorrow ( thursday , may 5th ) morning + our pages will be properly updated throughout the day , as well. please bare with us as we slowly work to ensure all pages are updated with the new information.Β
now , without further ado : please find our accepted characters below !
Β β Β Λ Λ Β CONGRATULATIONS ALEXΒ ! Β Β βΊ Β shin jowoon has been accepted as the devil with the face-claim yeo hwanwoongΒ .
alex ... there are no words for us to properly describe how jowoonβs backstory gave us chills. there is something so twisted and macabre about the way death permeates the very essence of jowoon. suave and unique , you really captured the elements of gothic horror in the scottish woods to such a great degree . it was such a unique take to the devil and weβre so excited to see how he fits in the circle !
Β β Β Λ Λ Β CONGRATULATIONS NEKOΒ ! Β Β βΊ Β xiomora fonesca has been accepted as the hierophant with the face-claim lizeth seleneΒ .
a she/they hacker from florida ? we were , unsurprisingly , sold. the spin of making xi a hacker who was outed as a criminal and then seized by the government to do its bidding is such a unique and interesting take that we couldnβt resist. not only that, the characterization & life that you brought to xi throguh your headcanons really brought depth and nuance to them. we are excited to see where they move in the rp !
Β β Β Λ Λ Β CONGRATULATIONS SYLVIAΒ ! Β Β βΊ yunseo byunΒ has been accepted as the hanged man with the face-claim choi yenojunΒ .
sylvia , we loved your characterization & your take on the hanged man & their struggle with being influenced by outside forces , but still insisting to march ( dance ! ) to the beat of their own drum. i fell in love with yunseo with every new fact about him , & we canβt wait to see how he finds his own footing in their new worldΒ !
Β β Β Λ Λ Β CONGRATULATIONS MOONΒ ! Β Β βΊΒ Β rhea seongΒ Β has been accepted as the chariot with the face-claim go min siΒ .
moon , your writing style and the way that you showed us the stark contrast between the tumultuous emotions within rhea and the way she carries herself in the public eye was such a wonderful way to underscore the battlecry that sets the chariot apart. not only that , the section of your application where you outlined rheaβs opinion on the remaining circle members was probably my favorite bit to read. thank you for sharing & weβre excited to see rhea interact with the others !
Β β Β Λ Λ Β CONGRATULATIONS YAZZYΒ ! Β Β βΊΒ Β ariadne hamdanΒ has been accepted as the magician with the face-claim mina el hammaniΒ .
yazzy , your storytelling technique is truly something to admire. the way you explored ariaβs family life , their tragic passing , and how she wished it was her brought so much depth and nuance to her. you found ways to make her influential and powerful while also seeking truths and answers -- and we cannot wait to see how this brings aria closer ... or farther ... from where her familyβs demise stems from.Β
Β β Β Λ Λ Β CONGRATULATIONS VANNYΒ ! Β Β βΊ Β saul ventura has been accepted as the star with the face-claim michael cimino .
as someone who lives in nyc ... the homage you brought to a puerto rican from the bronx is something that is so special to me ... not only that , your take on the star is something we absolutely adored. you had us from the first line of your application ... the underdog is always the unsung hero , an homage to how the star may not be everything they seem to be. the metaphors you used to describe the way saul wears this figurative mask was so wonderfully done. we are so excited to see him blossom !
Β β Β Λ Λ Β CONGRATULATIONS SHAYΒ ! Β Β βΊΒ Β kang kitaeΒ has been accepted as the sun with the face-claim kim hongjoongΒ .
the way we both instantly fell in love with kit ... his confidence is very characteristic of what we wanted to see out of the sun , but more than that , you brought nuance to his character by showing us exactly where he has contrasts to the burning bright heat of the sun. the subtle conflict between kit and his fatherβs expectations , the looming presence of his familial legacy ... it all ties together to give us a better picture of what you envisioned for the sun and we are thrilled to have you !
Β β Β Λ Λ Β CONGRATULATIONS ALIXΒ ! Β Β βΊ Β maxine varma has been accepted as the empress with the face-claim laβtecia thomasΒ .
we were both blown away by the level of depth and nuance you brought to your app for maxine. the way you grasped her character voice and showed us all the fractured & splintered sides of her while also proving to us time and time again where she excels gives us exactly what we wanted out of the empress. the fact that she puts others above herself to allow herself to feel more whole , more helpful to others brings her to life. weβre so excited to have her here !
Β β Β Λ Λ Β CONGRATULATIONS VENΒ ! Β Β βΊΒ Β opal de la fuenteΒ has been accepted as the moon with the face-claim aj clementineΒ .
we fell in love with opal through the strong , unwavering voice you brought to her app... not only that , the way we could personally identify pieces of ourselves within her story made her feel that much more real to us. she is so incredibly well written and we truly got to see why she felt so far away , stranded out at sea with the tides crashing on the sands , because of the way her younger sister seemed to be the ethereal glow of her family life. we are so excited to see her here !
Β β Β Λ Λ Β CONGRATULATIONS SAIΒ ! Β Β βΊΒ Β marjane tanakaΒ has been accepted as the hermit with the face-claim yumi nuΒ .
sai , we loved the way that you spoke on marjaneβs relationship with her mother and used that tethering bond to tie her back into the 13th circle. her naivety and her dedication made her interesting but more than that , we are fascinated by the way the 13th circle is most drawn to marjane due to the fact that she has so much potential for them to mold and manifest something far greater than anyone realizes. we are excited to see how she is sculpted within their ranks !
no rush whatsoever, but how long until acceptances? iβm staying up late for them and wondering if i should check back in the morning ! thanks for the hard work mods
hi there anon! sorry for the ugly mobile post but iβm working on posting the acceptances now. give it another 20 minutes, and it should be up! thank you so much!
hello everyone ! weβre still in the middle of reading applications and our acceptances will be coming a little later than anticipated ! thank you very much for your patience !
I was going to apply but as this grew in popularity (which is well deserved) I got nervous. I am so excited to watch acceptance happen and wish everyone luck moving forward!! πππ
hey anon - i understand this feeling so completely. this is my first time being a main admin & my head is already spinning ( in a very good way though ) ! thank you so much for this sweet message ! i hope you have a great night <3
& THAT IS IT ! thank you all very much for your applications, i have never been happier about my laptop crashing lmao ! the submit is now closed & we are no longer accepting any more apps at this time. again thank you so much for all of your hard work , we can't wait to settle in & read everything !
is there any ANY way the submit closing can be moved back an hour? i had something pop up at work π
hey anon - after deliberation , we unfortunately are not going to change the deadline. this was sent with only about ten minutes left , & we feel like it'd be unfair to current applicants ; & also a great push on us , as we've already promised to have acceptances posted around 12/1 am EST. thank you for understanding !
alright everyone , it's 8pm EST , which means there is ONE ( 1 ) HOUR LEFT ! please get your applications in as we will be closing the submit promptly at 9pm EST !
