POSITIONS OPEN: FILL THEM, High-Ranking Positions That Need Filling

POSITIONS IN THE WEYR NEEDING IMMEDIATE FILLING
Or, positions we need active again, to be honest.

Basically, we really need to fill a few important positions. A lot of our 'Masters, Wingleaders, and other some suches are being shuffled into inactivity (or death), and therefore need successors.

Because of the sudden burst of inactivity (or long trips down sharp, pointy flights of stairs) that led to this, we are asking for good, patriotic volunteers to do their duty to the Weyr! Step up, and become one of the paragons of learning to the Weyr! Or, simply, be a leader! Be someone your wing looks up to, the ones they can follow!

For more information on these positions, please check the Squad and Wing thread, here, or pm one of the moderating team if you have questions about the duties of these positions.

To apply, simply reply here with A, your character's name and a link to their profile, B, which position you are applying for, and C, A reason you are applying, or why you think your character would be good. (This CAN be as simple as 'I think he'she would fit, or even, on most, I want them to have it.) Just something simple about why you'd like the position IC and OOC.

NEEDED POSITIONS

++ The following positions are not very roleplay oriented - actually, in most cases, one can take these ranks and play doing the duties attached to them very infrequently. However, as these are ranking positions, we would like it very much if you apply with characters that are stable and capable of being roleplayed at least every once in a while doing something in relation to their rank.

WINGLEADER POSITIONS
Wingleader duties include wingdrills, organization and upkeep of the wing and it's riders, and leadership skills. They mediate and lead the entire wing through any missions and assign and direct their riders in their duties. *

Needed For:
----- Arrowhead - Trader Camp and Tribal Weyr Watch and Guard Wing

WINGSECOND POSITIONS
Wingseconds are exactly that- second in command of a wing. The Vice president of a wing, they share and assist their wingleaders in all the main duties, and may or may not be in position to be the next wingleader should something happen.

Needed For:
----- None.

WINGTHIRD POSITIONS:
Wingthirds assist their wingleaders in their duties.
++ We may also be accepting 'third applications for all wings, as we deem fit. We currently have one for almost each wing, but there is always the possibility of up to two 'thirds in a wing if it happens to be a particularly large wing.

Needed For:
----- Arrowhead - Trader Camp and Tribal Weyr Watch and Guard Wing

SQUADLEADER POSITIONS
Squadleaders are wingleaders for the Tribe's wherhandlers. Squadleader duties include leadership skills, drills, organization, and upkeep of the Squad and it's 'handlers. They mediate and lead the entire Squad through any missions and assign and direct their handler-pairs in their duties.

Needed For:
----- Nightlock - Jungle Recon and priority Game Hunting Squad
----- Moon Scar - Tribe and Trader Camp Fighting and Defense Squad
----- Owl Glare - Tribe and Trader Camp Watch and Guard Squad

SQUADSECOND POSITIONS
Squad Seconds are exactly that- second in command of a wherhandler's Squad. The Vice president of a Squad, they share and assist their leaders in all the main duties, and may or may not be in position to take over leadership should something happen.

Needed For:
----- Nightlock - Jungle Recon and priority Game Hunting Squad
----- Moon Scar - Tribe and Trader Camp Fighting and Defense Squad
----- Owl Glare - Tribe and Trader Camp Watch and Guard Squad


++ The following positions are extremely roleplay oriented, and will need to be played consistently through In-Character situations. Please be sure your character is stable and capable of handling such intensive positions, and that your activity also reflects a good chance of roleplaying this position often.

CANDIDATEMASTER
(Previously held by the lovely (and terrifying) V'rge, a precedent has clearly been set here that we would love to see return - though it is, obviously, not mandatory.)

The Candidatemaster is in charge of readying candidates for a hatching - from preparing them for life with a dragon, to simply teaching them about weyr life, weyr etiquette, how to survive a hatching, what will happen post-impression, if you get that far, or what to do if you don't impress.**

He or she is also in charge of disciplining candidates, keeping an eye on them, and keeping them out of trouble. Keep in mind that a heavy guard of Weyr personnel and the Owl Glare Squad are responsible for the protection, guardianship, and watch of the candidates - this means that any attempted escapees will be brought to you if they do try something, so don't flake out on dishing the punishment when necessary!

Position Status:
----- Closed.

Interim CandidateMaster(s) are Kaine, of blue Shaoth, and Kajri, of blue Raianeth. They serve until the In-training Candidatemaster-wannabes graduate from Weyrlinghood and get some experience under their belts. (Maher of brown Dulanth and Lhiaren of brown Raphpreth)


ASSISTANT WEYRLINGMASTERS
Assistant Weyrlingmasters will help run lessons, may run lessons on their own as needed, and generally play the role of mentor and teacher to the various Weyrling Classes throughout their Weyrlinghood. Duties include disciplinary actions, so don't apply with characters that aren't able to dish the punishment when necessary! Keep in mind the position of Weyrlingmaster is currently held by Jr. Weyrwoman Raetslia of Gold Zhasasaraleyth - expect to be playing your character very closely with this one through lessons and other prominent in-character interactions.

Position Status:
----- Closed.

N'vel of Blue Secoth has taken this position.

ASSISTANT WHERLINGMASTERS
The Wherlingmaster has domain over both the wherlings of a clutch, teaching them, mentoring them, and most importantly, teaching them how to bond with and train their significantly more violent and dangerous partners, as well as the mentorship and teaching of those who specifically request the permission of a wher/handler to approach a wher egg clutch. *** His or her assistant helps and shares in these duties.

Position Status:
----- Closed.
Sr. Queenhandler Alastair of Gold Alastask are the current Wherlingmasters, while Conyr of Green Conyrsk have taken up the job of being his Assistants.

OTHER POSITIONS
----- Head(wo)man
----- Dedicated Harpers and Healers
----- Trader Delegates
----- Craftmasters
----- Anything on the Needed Characters Listing
----- And any other position you feel would be appropriate, useful, or just fun to add to the weyr!

This list is more frivolous and silly. It's just an idea for characters if you seem to be lacking them, or an idea of something a character could aspire to. If they're desperately needed, we'll NPC them, usually.


* Murder to attain Wingleader Position is Generally Frowned Upon.
** May also teach candidates that their place is somewhere below dirt, but still above L'var.
*** Wher candidates are usually voluntary, and must ask for the clutchmother's permission to touch or accept her eggs. (Alastask appears to be different than most, and treats her clutches more like a gold dragon, but the principle still applies.) Candidates Searched by a dragon are usually listed as Dragon Candidates and not trained in extensive Wher background, anatomy, and other information like they are with dragons unless they choose to change paths, age out of Dragon Candidacy, or the dragon by which they are searched has a history of finding candidates that are good for whers.

++ Keep in mind that anyone can apply for any position (including more than one position application for the same character and more than one character for the same position!), and it is up to the discretion of the modmins to decide on who will or will not get the position they applied for. Please do not feel bad if you are not chosen! Our reasons for accepting/not accepting certain people for certain positions vary from potential plots to known activity, so if you haven't been chosen this time around, don't let it get you down!

A: N'vel of blue Secoth
B: Assistant Weyrlingmaster
C: N'vel and Secoth have a great love for weyrlings, and can regularly be found interacting with them and encouraging them. Both would consider it a high honor to be an official part of the raising of weyrlings, and Secoth is of the opinion that he could produce the bravest, noblest graduating class ever seen. We'll see about that.

A ) Maher http://z15.invisionfree.com/tribalweyr/ind...?showtopic=1609
B )CANDIDATEMASTER
C ) Maher- Well, I think I can handle the candidates pretty darn well. Not many could fight me off and if they do, big O' Brown can sit on them! *laughs, clears throat* Ahem, yes, well... I think I can make a difference to them. I can help them be prepared for what is to come and hopefully there will be a little less injuries in the next one. Like... minus one person or so.

Me- Stop talking you are embarrassing me as your creator. *shoves him out of the way* He's tough and will take his duties seriously. He might even turn out as bad as V'rge or better. Who can really tell? Time!

A ) K'ryn of Blue Archeloth
B ) Deep Shadow Wingleader
C ) After having two mishaps in Hawk Eye, he feels that he would be better suited to lead the back-up fighting force. Why does he think he'd do best as leader? Well, he's got sharp eyes and a talent for sharpshooting. He wants to make a difference, and be directly involved in combat, yet not on the front lines.

A: Lhiaren of Brown Raphoreth
B: Candidatemaster
C: I... I just had an interesting revelation and had to give applying a shot.

Lhiaren... she is actually rather like V'rge, isn't she? Something tells me she'd be prone to giving candidates crazy names and things like that... though I don't think she'd ever throw firelizard eggs at people, I don't see her shirking any matter of candidacy from punishing those idiotic enough to try and escape (She's seen the North, been in Fort's prison, and experienced what was there - she knows, you little shits!) and well, let's face it - roguish Raphoreth wouldn't be worried about bitching out a candidate or two either in his uber sexy accent of doom. I know she's currently not quite to the Weyr yet, and it may take a little while before she's considered completely trustworthy and checked out and reaccepted to the Tribe, but like, dude.

... I'm kind of laughing at myself for accidentally making a (slightly softer) female V'rge. xD

Resuts:

All accepted as of the moment.

K'ryn is the new Deep Shadow wingleader.
N'vel is the new Assistant Weyrlingmaster.

As for Candidatemaster?

Maher and Lhiaren are being considered. HOWEVER. Both are yet Weyrlings themselves, and thus, shall not be accepted as official position Holders without at the least, a fully mature dragon (two turns) and a turn of training. Thus, the two applicants for the position are considered under Observation, and will be evaluated further. (Both as they are played IC and as we figure it out.)

Interim Candidate Masters shall be put into place for the time being.
These shall be, in tandem, by election of themselves and by their own skills, as Kajri of Blue Raianeth, and Kaine of Blue Shaoth.

Candidates, good luck. I'm so sorry.

PLEASE CONTINUE TO APPLY FOR THE REMAINING POSITIONS.
