Old Idea I Want to Revive.

OOC


First, some History (feel free to skip if you want, won't hurt my feelings but it's not too long)

The original story for this was my first big break into GMing. It lasted a few months and was a ton of fun, some people dropped in and out... eventually we had to do a reboot thread, which really didn't make it that far, the original OOC and IC are lost I believe. Anyway. I met some great people, got a lot of experience, and generally found my footing with running RPs. At least how I do it.

the original story was based off of a sort of Video Game I had designed, with changes of course, and the idea as a whole means a lot to me, because I feel, while the individual components aren't all that original. Put together, they can be something exceptional.

Here's the gist.
It's the present day, in a world closely resembling our own. Except of course, a few things are different, there are always a few things different. In this case, it's that humanity is secretly being observed by various "Supernatural" beings. Vampires, Werewolves, and Humans born able to use Magic,for years have hidden on the fringes of society, keeping their entire existence secret for countless centuries. In days long past they would generally be considered monsters to be feared, but have been mostly forgotten. All the supernatural beings had made an agreement, not to harm humans. (more than would be necessary) and keep themselves a total secret.

Obviously, not everyone agrees with this, Werewolves are violent, Vampires have their bloodlust, and Mages tend to crave power. So to keep everything underground, a number of supernaturals decided to become Vigilantes, killing off threats to the secrecy and protecting humanity in their own way.

So, in 2013, in the fictional city of Blackbury, in the United Kingdom, one of the cities with the largest concentration of Supernatural beings, a new club just opened, called the Overworld.

Overworld is run by an ancient vampire, who for years had maintained the Underworld Tavern in blackbury, a private bar for Supernatural beings ONLY, but now Overworld, is a new gamble. A place for both humans and supernaturals to drink and party together. With private rooms for "special guests" of course.

oh, and a vampire just murdered a human in the middle of the club on opening night!

Alternative RP, focusing more on the spiritual/mystical side of things, by ActRaiser Here

Can I be a minor god, like Mortal Kombat has gods, a demi god, or something like that?

no, no, and no.

Ah rats. An angel?

I'll think about it.
The original let races be made, but recently I've been thinking it's sorta more trouble than it's worth...

Well, I don't want to step on any toes. I'll hope you say yes, but I can do vampires just fine.

Bump

That could be cool. So in this setting we'd be these sort of supernatural vigilantes trying to keep a lid on this kind of incident? If we do get this going, I'd like to be were-something. Doesn't have to be a wolf, if that's too generic, but it can be, if you're wanting to stick to the more straight forward genre staples. Just that the shifter idea could make for a good "multiple personalities" kind of character.

My character's a werewolf, he does indeed have a sort of bipolar like disorder. More like a hair trigger and extremely dangerous temper, and tendency to go berserk if he shifts.

I would love to play a mage or vampire in this. Whichever you need more for story purposes. Sounds super fun. Will it be casual RP or more hardcore?
