Chasers: Boundary of the Crimson Sky
When night falls, the boundary is pierced...
Summary
Mysterious occurrences have been happening through the city. Rumors tell about queer looking creatures stalking the shadows, people disappearing from the streets during the night, crime syndicates so powerful that the law can't even touch them, corrupt corporations that rule the world from the shadows and much, much more.
The common men dismiss such tales as nothing but urban legends, fabrications of the collective sub-consciousness of all who inhabit this sprawling jungle of concrete and steel.
However, there are few who know the truth that lies beyond the edge of every corner, within the back alleys where the light never shines and above the rooftops where the night wind howls fiercely. These persons are know as Chasers, men and women of every age and path in life that always have at least two things in common.
First, they all know that the world is much more than the eye meets, that the supernatural beings wait inside every shadow, waiting to prey on the unwary. And second, somehow everyone of them has seen what lies beyond this world, the other side of reality that is best left unknown to the everyday man, this second world is know as the Crimson Sky.
The Crimson Sky
And beyond it lies a world bathed in red.
All Chasers know of the Crimson Sky, in fact the ability to get in and out of there is the first and foremost difference between a normal human and a Chaser, and most of them gained their other abilities when they were sent there by accident, or dragged there by one of the Crimson Sky's inhabitants.
Entering and leaving the Crimson Sky can only be done during the night, for those who know how to do it, it is just a matter of crossing the right street or turning a in the correct direction corner. However, the easy with which it's done, meaning the number of places where the crossing can be done varies with the phases of the moon, being much harder on new moon and almost childishly easy on the full moon nights.
The Crimson Sky is home to a number of different creatures that the Chasers dubbed Youkai for easy of reference. Some of them are friendly, some indifferent, but the great majority are nothing but predators always seeking their next meal of human flesh.
Ok, this is my second iteration of an idea for an anime like urban fantasy RP. The first time I ran this RP was a nice experience for me and now I refined the idea a lot. Amongst other things I decided to try and see if this will work as a semi sand-box RP, meaning that, even if there's a bit of an overarching plot, no one will be obliged to follow it and players are more than welcome, in fact, I'm hoping people can contribute with their own ideas to turn this into a trully unique experience for everyone.
Actually, there's a little more to add, but this is more than enough for an interest check. If it stroke your fancy, please let me know by stating your interest or even posting an early CS.
Thanks for now and bye!
