Voting for Terestellan Sovereign

The Sunlight Fades


Vespera watched as slowly they gathered beneath her. Her people of the dying sun casting their names out for all to see. 

She turned to the first,  a slight man, with slender wings tucked to his side. A dusk court medic with clear determination

“Jude”

she started

“as a medic you see not only the parts that can be fixed, but also those that can be bettered. But what will you do should those things resists your treatment?”



She turned next to @Liam a man who had stood on terrastellan soil now for long enough to know its ways and customs. A man whose copper coat held the setting sun like gold. 

“You are a just and fair man. But what would you do should the kingdom fall? Rebuild? Or move on to the next one?”



And then there was @Atlas whose appearance reminded her so of sweet Elena. She remembered when the stallion docked in Terrastella, carrying the scents of sand and sea. 

“You would give your strength to Terrastella, and see them as one. But what if your heart is not enough to hold them together? If they stumble apart would you rely on heart or reason?”



@Below Zero a woman of the sea, who threw her passion into everything she did. A smile quirked at her lips as she made her poetic declaration.
 

“Your passion is admirable, as is your humility. But what will you do if the people push back against your path. Will you push back? Or let their waves sway you?”



She swivelled her head to look at a man who had walked these grounds for many years. @Rhone a longtime champion of wisdom, and a man who had long serving the dusk court.  

 “You have a strong spirit, and wisdom rarely challenged. But your heart has been broken once before, could you stand it if it broke again?”



One more stood before her.

"Aristal."

A man of mystery and freedom. It surprised her that he held himself to a court at all, and didn’t choose to wander as so many others like him did. 

  “You have confidence, something needed by a leader. But do you have the sense to back down for the better, even when pride is at stake?”



She looked to each of them again. 

“I do not mean to discourage any of you, only to bring light to what it means to lead, to responsible for dozens of lives.”

she stopped for a moment, turning to watch the sun as it finally dipped below the horizon, leaving a spattering of stars in it’s wake. 

 “It is not for me to decide which of you shall bear the crown. Instead it will be the choice of your future people.”









Rules to Vote

Voting closes at 11:59P EST on 04/17/21


Before voting or if you are part of this nomination, please read all the below. If you have any questions/concerns, don't hesitate to ask!

  • Regarding this vote:


    • When voting, please read each characters audition - both IN CHARACTER and OUT OF CHARACTER portions! 
      Jude/ErisLiamAtlasBelow ZeroRhoneAristal/Cass

      • Keep in mind when voting, we are looking for a character who embodies Terrastellan ideals, will have substantial enough activity to help drive the court in a positive direction, and solid ideas to bring to the court in terms of events, planning, etc.

    • You must use your Dusk Court Court character account to cast your vote - ONLY Terrastellans can vote here!

      • Do not use your OOC account to vote!
      • One vote total per member, even if you have multiple Dusk Court characters.
      • Those nominated may not vote for themselves. They are allowed to vote for a different character, if they wish.
      • Failure to follow the above rules will result in your vote being nullified.

    • You can freely post in this thread if you'd like to interact with Vespera or the nominees!



  • Character Requirements for those Nominated and/or who are chosen:


    • If you win the member vote and have another character in a Regime position (Sovereign, Regent, Emissary), that character must step down before your winning character can step up. This must be completed within 2 weeks.

    • If you have entered another one of your own characters into a different Court's Sovereign auditions, you may not win both. In the event both your characters are the number one pick, you will need to choose which character/court you prefer. The one that you pass up will be given to the runner-up.



  • General rules and requirements regarding Sovereigns:


    • Regarding Sovereign vulnerability: Sovereigns will be deemed Vulnerable if you make 10 IC posts or less per month (this means that it will be extremely easy for anyone to win a Challenge against you), and posted absences only make you immune for 2 weeks.

    • Sovereign activity requirements: To promote activity within their respective Courts, the Sovereign must setup 1 IC event every other season.

    • Once a Sovereign is selected and your profile approved, your first duty will be to create a Court Rules thread in your respective Court forum. Read this guidebook section for things you can do as Sovereign.



Only Terrastellans may vote, but...

Any character - from any Court - may post in this thread to interact with Vespera and the nominees.
Once voting is over you will be able to immediately claim this thread as completed for signos and/or EXP - even if you don't meeting the post count requirement!
