Hey there everyone, Sakura here with another announcement from the lovely people of Staff.
Ok, as many of you know, Jonny left the site thereby leaving the spot of Zero, leader of the Black Knights, open. This means anyone who thinks they can handle the position and do not have 4 characters already, or any high position charries (ie: I being Commander in Chief, cannot apply). However, instead of having a bunch of people apply and then have Staff just pick the best bio, Hebe-our local psycho Mod-has come up with a brilliant idea. A trial.
Allow me to explain. Rather, allow me to quote what Hebe's explanation of this "test" will consist of:
So there you have it. A little test for those of you who think you have enough of a spinal chord to be Zero. Consider this also as a means to fish out those who are just plain inept. Yes, we are sadistic people. But that's why you love us ^^
If you have any questions, feel free to poke either myself or Hebe (as she was the initial creator of this idea)

However, instead of having a bunch of people apply and then have Staff just pick the best bio, Hebe-our local psycho Mod-has come up with a brilliant idea. A trial.
Allow me to explain. Rather, allow me to quote what Hebe's explanation of this "test" will consist of:
The Zero-Off will consist of two parts; a tactical and a confrontational.
▪ The Tactical Session will have the Zero-to-Be heading a tactical meeting with the intent of organizing an attack on a Britannian stronghold. He must converse with Sakura Shizuka, the Commander in Chief who commands the forces, Anju Saravati, Chief of Science who makes the weapons and machines, Yekaterina Tsurugi, Secretary-General who also commands the forces and/or Vierre DeMara, Captain of the First Division platoon. He may choose who he wishes to interact with. This will demonstrate that the Zero-to-Be is capable of planning attacks and battles intelligently and can take the advice of his military council.
▪ The Confrontational Session will have the Zero-to-Be confront an enemy of the Black Knights, either of a supernatural or military nature. If the Zero-to-Be's bio includes knowledge of Geass and Immortals, he may interact with Hebe Ano Vasilikis Second in Command of the Geass Directorate, or Josef "Gauron" Totschläger, Mercenary for Hire and Corporate Privateer. Both are old and experienced Immortals and particularly vicious. If the Zero-to-Be is not familiar with Geass and Immortals, he will interact with Sylvana Li Britannia, Crown Princess and Commander of the Britannian Army. He may choose who he wishes to interact with. This will demonstrate that the Zero-to-Be can intelligently deal with an opponent and not attempt to God-mod a victorious conflict. The interaction need not be a fight; it may also be a capture, random meeting, peace negotiation, etc.
Neither thread will exist in-plot, but outside of WORLD OF C reality. Both threads will be kept relatively short, posts will be kept at a 500 word maximum, and updates must occur in a timely fashion. Post order may be ignored, with the exception of the Zero-to-Be, so that the applicant may get ample audition time in as well as interacting with other members.
▪ Applicants are advised to decide on the mind set of their character, so that posts may be put up quickly, but not at the expense of quality. Grammar and punctuation matter. Explicitly.
▪ Applicants are advised to do prior research on characters so that they may choose who they wish to interact with and how best to respond or utilize them.
▪ Applicants must understand that applying for the role of Zero is not a whimsy, it is a contract. If you wish to have the role, you must be resolved to give frequent updates and add to the plot. It is Zero's responsibility to lead the Black Knights and wage war against Britannia or those who would hurt Japan. Being chosen for the position and then not doing anything is a violation of contract and may be punishable for deceiving Staff.
▪ Both Sessions may take place simultaneously or consecutively. Both Sessions may take place within a two-week time period, unless decided otherwise by both the applicant and Staff.
▪ The Tactical Session will have the Zero-to-Be heading a tactical meeting with the intent of organizing an attack on a Britannian stronghold. He must converse with Sakura Shizuka, the Commander in Chief who commands the forces, Anju Saravati, Chief of Science who makes the weapons and machines, Yekaterina Tsurugi, Secretary-General who also commands the forces and/or Vierre DeMara, Captain of the First Division platoon.

So there you have it. A little test for those of you who think you have enough of a spinal chord to be Zero. Consider this also as a means to fish out those who are just plain inept. Yes, we are sadistic people. But that's why you love us ^^
