In Hunting Beasts and Nightmares



GM: TheWindel

Co-GM:KoL


"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 Bloodborne 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. Oh yeah, and this is a remake of an old RP too. So there’s also that. Happy Hunting.








CS Template

Note: Although Iredele is a town with a Dark Ages setting, your character was plucked away from modern times. Please keep in mind that in the real world, your character is an Average Joe.

Interested, but I have a few questions. If I were to have a character start basically from the absolute beginning--as in they're still wearing whatever they were in when they were pulled from their world, and haven't picked up any weapons yet--and have that character focus on learning how to fight the monsters, do magic, and other such things from either the Old Hunter, other characters, whatever means present themselves, how long would that character last? I kind of want to present a character that starts from literally nothing, so that I get more development out of them as they "learn the ropes," so to speak, but would a character who's "in-training," so to speak, be capable of surviving in this kind of setting? Seeing that magic and weapons are already present on the CS, it makes me think that characters are meant to have sort of "been at it" for a while already, and that a complete newb might not be viable.

Well technically speaking, all of the characters are going to be "learning the ropes"; no one starts off as a badass Hunter. That being said, there will be dangerous scenarios in the beginning but they'll progress in terms of difficulty as time goes on. Every character is going to be learning how to use magic or their weapon along the way with varying effects and consequences. With that in mind, your character's chances of living are high since everyone is in the same boat. No character, aside from the NPCs and GM characters, are "in-training"; everyone is a noob Hunter at the start.

Ah, so even though we're putting magic abilities and weaponry on the CS, we may still need to actually obtain it/learn it within the actual narrative. Alright, cool, I'll get a character up relatively soon.

Flintlock, check! Strange Broadsword, check! Special thing... could you define "special thing" Windel, or do I need to stalk around your profile to find the old version of this rp so I can discern what it might be xP

I could do the former, but it's much more amusing for me to see you do the latter.

Welp, guess I know what his extra, super secret weapon will be then... IT WILL BE MIGHTY, IT WILL BE POWERFUL, IT WILL BE...

A book.

And I just realized how to make him a Blue Mage... maybe. Depends on if you find bludgeoning cruel beasts to death with a book and in return, procuring a certain type of... knowledge ok in your books.

OK, to all of you esteemed players, here's my huntress and your humble hostess to the World of Wasted Dreams:

Maria







@Zeroth

Your character seems good to me.

@Savo

If you wanted to know, something "special" is a thing like Maria's Pandora, or you could have your character carry alchemical weapons, anything less powerful than the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch is fair game.

Will magic take the form of general manipulation of the element(though darkness seems to include summoning), or do we need to come up with specific abilities that would be somewhat unique to our characters using those mediums? And if it's the latter, do we need to run those special abilities past the GM/co-GM?
