In the spirit of the new Blair Witch movie (which I am yet to, but want to, see) here's a survival-horror RP.

Everyone talks about "haunted houses" around Halloween time, but not many people believe that houses are truly haunted, which is where they're wrong. Spirits are just about everywhere, and some take enjoyment in scaring, or even harming, humans. It's these malicious spirits that "make" haunted houses, and their victims are the ones that make them known. These victims aren't easy to find, and not all are voluntary. Now, it appears as though you've become a victim of one of them. Your goal is to find a way to survive and escape. Posting will be a call-and-response format, where you give your character an action each post, and I- as GM- will determine the consequences of your action (good, bad, indifferent, or unseen) based on your stats and the current state of the haunted house. Good luck. You'll need it.



How Stats Work:

When creating a character, all stats start at rank D. You have 14 points to split between the 7 stats. Each point equals one rank.

D + 1 point = C
D + 2 points = B
D + 3 points = A
D + 4 points = S

Ok, finally going to make a sheet!

Name: Noah (Chooses to not remember last name)
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Personality: Noah is always shy and cautious, seeming to have little morality to people he does not know or care about, but this is not his fault. For those who open up to him, he's a tortured soul, scarred by his past, and he has fears of things that people would normally not be so scared of. For example, if a spider crawls onto his face, he'll just flick it off in annoyance, yet if he spots a dog of any kind, he's freaking out and using the nearest person he has no care for as a meat shield. He does not think too highly of women in most situations, thinking they're just drag him down, and he'll be outright insulted if one tries to... hit on him, or show romantic attraction to him. Despite this, he does have his loves and enjoyments. For one, he's greedy, so plenty of food will always please him. Calming music, retro video games, and books are also entertaining things in his mind, and he'll never be apart from a Sega Nomad, a Game Boy, or a good book in his stuff.

Noah never holds back his tongue, at all. If you anger him enough, he'll curse like a sailor, and probably shove his middle fingers in your eye sockets before storming off. When it comes to people he actually does like, he prefers the company of men who are actually able to fend for themselves. However, in a survival situation, if someone actually harms or hinders him or anyone who could be of use to him, he knows who he'll be eating first. But, while he might seem like a cold hearted asshole who only cares for himself, which is why he's unemployed, he just needs... help, and counseling, mental healing. If someone manages to actually unlock a happy, brighter side to him that does not have a bleak outlook on life, he will... open up to others.

Appearance:

Background: Noah has never had a good life, ever. As a young child, before he could ever understand life or death, his parents were killed in an accident, and he was taken away. His foster parents were... not the best. His mother could not give a crap about him, and his father beat and abused him after learning one fact, Noah was nowhere near into women, in fact he preferred his own gender, much to the confusion of others. Since his foster father was christian, the obvious happened. Noah instantly lost all contact with friends, and was subject to constant abuse and pain for no reason. For 4 years, he had to suffer this pain, loosing all his previous innocence slowly with each painful hit. However... child care services soon caught on, and arrested his foster father and mother, booting Noah to an orphanage.

You would think this was where he would recover... but he did not. Again, he was ripped out of a set home he knew, and while this time it was for the better, it left an... empty feeling inside him. He had been scarred for life, and while his father would probably never see the light of day again, he... never felt any better by it. He pushed away the other kids and people there, turning towards fantasy and fake realities for his entertainment, instead of interacting with real people. He never once wanted to even go outside, not for anything. He began to see people as means to resources, and while he found connection with adults... he never much cared for people too much. When he became 18, he was booted out, and left to be homeless. He found a cheap, rundown apartment, and does odd end jobs to pay for the rent and keep himself fed. To him, his life sucks, and the only reason he ever fights for survival is because he feels impulsed to claw at the world and keep himself afloat. But, given the choice, he would probably leave this world, and never come back. And that... is where this mysterious house comes in. After being evicted from his apartment after failing to pay the rent, he found this old house in the more Ural part of town, and decided to enter it in hopes of finding a place to sleep. Well, that turned out well, huh?

(Not completely original, because I'm lazy and creatively dead. SO I just chose my favorite character from an anime, but I did change some things and add some other stuff)

This is still alive, right?

I'm currently waiting to be accepted honestly
