In Hunting Beasts and Nightmares
"Good evening fair Hunter. I trust you've had a pleasant rest?"
The Story So Far...
Those were the words that graced your ears when you found yourself awake in the darkness, your head resting on the lap of a young girl. And then, darkness once more. When you awoke a second time, you found yourself lying before an old man and a church. A Hunter was he, and now so are you.
You have become a victim of the World of Wasted Dreams. A nightmarish realm that spews out only decrepit mysteries and terrible wonders. A plane of eternal night shrouded in mist, hosting the comfort and audience of twin blue moons. And monsters. All sorts of horrible beasts that roam the World like a ill-ridden plague.
Only one town dwells in this land of darkness: Iredele. It is here where the townsfolk treat the occurrences of this rotten place as a way of life. Any one of them could suffer an unruly fate at the hands of their own brethren and they have embraced their own foolish mortality.
Likewise, there are some who seek to liberate this World from the creatures that lurk unseen and out of sight. These people are aptly named Hunters in that it is their sole purpose to slay the monsters and purge Iredele of an everlasting nightmare.
You are one of those Hunters now. You have no choice in the matter. Regardless of who you used to be in the world of light and sanity, you are tasked to kill for your survival. Perhaps you will find some ancient riddle along the way whose answer is the key to escaping this place. Or you may rot beneath the teeth of some unholy spawn.
You remember nothing from your past life before being forced into the World of Wasted Dreams. Nothing at all. Well, except maybe the flickering images of a hospital room. The blood of your predecessors and the smell of your fear attracts only the worst after all…
Information
Greetings. This is an RP based and influenced by a number of things and will mainly focus on the idea of player-driven actions and environments. That is to say, I’m not going to move the story anymore than you all explore it. So I suggest exploring the town of Iredele for your own survival.
There are monsters. Many, terrible monsters for you, the Hunter, to slay. Each monster will reveal a clue about the World of Wasted Dreams and an indication to finding a way out. That being said, I’m looking for a rather large group of committed players for this, probably in the 15-20 range. Why so many? Well when people eventually drop out (because it’s going to happen) the RP won’t be in such a state where I can’t revitalize it.
As of now, I’m pretty sure I want a Co-Gm for this, maybe two in the case of controlling monsters and generally just leading the other players astray or further into the story. With that being said, I implore you to ask questions and/or express your interest/suggestions down below.
Happy Hunting.
