OOC: WELCOME TO HAWKCLAN'S ARISTOCRAT CONTEST!
seeing as i want to raise activity and get a few more faces around the clan, i've decided to put two to three aristocrat (which is a full, badge-worthy high position) spots up for grabs. seeing as this is aimed at getting new roleplayers into hawkclan, making up a character on the spot for this is highly encouraged, however existing hawkclanners may also participate. this contest will be judged heavily on writing skill and quality of posts, as well as creativity, though activity and your character's personality overall will also be judged, though these criteria are worth less.
SO HOW DOES THIS WORK?
each character will have to complete two challenges: first, an advanced biography of your character should be submitted to moonaloo. second, your character is to give a speech addressing why they should be made an aristocrat and any other things they believe will improve their chances. the speech can be either public or private, as long as you send moonaloo / noirstar the thread.
WHEN WILL THE CONTEST BE OVER?
the contest will be open until june 20th, 2014, to give everyone plenty of time to get their entries in.
JUST WHAT DO ARISTOCRATS DO, ANYWAY?
aristocrats are hawkclan's equivalent to assistant deputies, basically. they manage the clan and make sure it runs smoothly, in addition to serving as a war council and serving as advisors to the leaders and deputies, and sometimes, to the shamans. they are able to accept new members into hawkclan, and are on the same tier of power as shamans and their apprentices are. aristocrats have lesser authority, obviously, than a monarch or general, though they can handle minor business such as dealing with intruders and conducting ceremonies. if you have any more questions about the duties of an aristocrat, feel free to pm moonaloo!
IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN IMPROVE MY CHANCES OF WINNING?
certainly! advertising this thread in your signature will earn you some points, for example. another idea would be to remain active with your character, and having at least semi-advanced posts.
