Further Job Information For Lore Builders

Job Description:

­­*This is NOT a job for those who wish to bring in their own headcanon or organization/group to the forums. Please be sure to read everything carefully to understand what this job entails*

Lore Builders are a group of skilled writers, artists, and designers tasked with bringing the RP Worlds of Canterlot to life. They work to enrich the RP by creating lush, detailed, creative, and inspiring environments for users to immerse themselves in. The Lore builders group is not a place to bring in headcanon or proposed lore- Lore builders with have specific tasks developing the environment I have planned for the RP. They will work at developing the current environment of the RP, exploring each landmark, town, ruin, and city to provide the details for a more immersive world, while expanding the geographical borders of Equestria. Lore building will inevitably involve developing the culture and shaping the lifestyles and habits of different nations, species, and history- select builders will be working with me personally. Tasks for the Lore Builder group will vary as projects need to be completed, and Lore Builders may be asked to help participate in events if needed.

Job Tasks:

· Lore Builders will be asked to write detailed yet concise immersive descriptions for each city, town, landmark¸ and point of interest in Equestria. Weather, climate, food stuffs, culture, produce/products, population and other such details need be worked into the descriptions of every location to help paint setting, mood, and overall environment.

· Lore Builders will work as a team to develop constructs, maps, and rough sketches of what a city, town, landmark, or point of interest would look like from different views.

· Lore Builders will work with Manestream personally on developing new RP settings or “Worlds” for users to take part in. It is exceptionally important to understand that you will be working within her vision. By being part of the team you will bring your own influence to projects, but Lore Builders will be working closely with Manestream’s vision to bring life to said projects.

Job Requirements:

· Applicants will need to be members of the roleplayers group, regular visitors, and easily contactable.

· Be able to follow creative direction and work within other's ideas is a must.

· Presenting/Producing results in a timely manner is a must.

· You must be able to communicate constructive, creative advice, and to do so clearly with other team members.

· You must be willing to recieve constructive, creative advice, and be flexible with your ideas.

And one of the following three:

· Possess an excellent command of the written English Language with an emphasis on creative writing.

· Possess an excellent ability to design maps, cities, towns, and landmarks in an interesting, engaging, and creative manner.

· Possess a talent for drawing/illustrating different environments- from ruins, to towns, to castles, to landscapes.

What to include when applying

Please follow all normal applying requirements with the addition of these:

· Applicants are required to provide an example of their written, illustrated, or design work based on one of the following locations. The example work provided should show your ability to deepen a readers' understanding of the location, and further intrigue them to interact with the new possibilities. In other words: in what way can you bring to life one of the following locations that inspires a broader spectrum of RP possibilities?

Location Prompts:

Canterlot

Appleloosa

Unyasi

· When creating details in a world, you are simultaneously expanding and contracting that world; what you write becomes reality, and leaves less room for creativity. What we are looking for in Lore Builders are individuals talented at building details into a world that provoke more creativity than those invented details limit. In a role such as Lore Builder, you will be telling users what exists through description, image, and design. We would like you to address in your response how the details you are sharing expands the readers’ world instead of limits it. For a writer, this may be the distinction between what is left to careful, intent description, and what is not. For an illustrator, this may be the use of shadow or perspective to hide and intrigue, or the use of elements that encourage the viewer to want to explore what lies beyond the boundaries of the image. For a Designer, this may be capturing the essence of what makes each location unique in layout, populace, or culture- and what that location may have, and what it may need.

Submission work length should be no more than one written page, 12 point font for writers, for artists, 2-3 sketches of varying viewpoints/features, for designers 1-2 maps featuring geography or layout, accompanied by written details about features of the location.
