Back in the day, I used to spend my time around the RP boards over at Planet Minecraft. While I participated in and helped create a lot of absolute garbage, there were a couple of rather successful concepts I managed to create and run for a fair period of time.

Through the use of powerful necromancy, I've decided to give a few of these a new lease on life. Without further ado, I present to you...


CARPE NOCTEM: SEIZE THE NIGHT


Welcome to Saxtonvale Maximum Security Prison, the harshest prison in the UK.


For crimes you may or may not have committed, you find yourself confined within its walls for essentially what is a life sentence. Every inmate is kept in solitary for a vast majority of their stay, and have no real contact with their fellow prisoners. Beatings from the sadistic and brutal guards are all too often, the food is barely enough to live off, and you have no contact with the outside world. You know you cannot win, you know there is no escape. The depressing monotony of your imprisonment crushes your soul and reduces you to a hollow shell of a human.

The only escape from the endless torment is sleep. In your dreams, you are free. You can be whoever, do whatever - and there are no guards to beat you, no four walls to hold you in. Every time you wake, you begin counting the hours until the lights go out and you can withdraw into your mind once more.

But recently, something strange has been happening. Although you still dream every night, it has been a strange series of dreams that are always disturbingly vivid and real. And with every night, you realize that in your dreams you are not alone...

'So, what is this roleplay about?'


As an inmate of Saxtonvale, you are pretty much hopeless and defenseless to begin with. As a guard, you are allowed free movement through the prison but are never allowed out of the walls - you signed up for a tour of duty, and as a result live in the prison. However please bear in mind the the RP WILL revolve around the prisoners, so I'd like to see prisoner applications. Guards will be denied if I think there's too many.

Every in-RP day, you will play your character in the prison. As an inmate, most of your time will be spent in solitary but you will be allowed to, on occasion, visit some of the recreational areas of the prison - library, pool, gym, etc. However the prison is heavily guarded, so there's no chance of escape... yet. As a guard, you will perform many guardly duties - patrolling wards, escorting prisoners, talking to the Warden, beating up inmates, etc.

However, every so often I will call 'lights out', and the real fun begins. Every night when both the day guards and the prisoners fall asleep, they are all transported to the same dream world. Although they don't realize it, everyone they meet is a member of the prison - both staff and prisoners. This dream setting will be a different one every 'night'; for example, one dream could be set in a fantasy world with orcs and wizards and knights, and the next could be set in a shopping mall. Every dream you will become a different character to suit the setting, with a different job/gear/looks/dream name/etc. When I call 'Breakfast time', your dreams will abruptly end and you will return to roleplaying as prisoners and guards until the next 'lights out'.

TL;DR, It's basically two RP's in one, with a whooooole lotta crossover.


If this sounds like it's your kind of thing, feel free to drop your name down below. Enough people, and I'll paste over the rules/character criteria along with an actual thread.

@gohKamikaze Such a cool concept. Interested. Question though, what's the time period in the real world?

Thanks man!

The period will be modern-day, maybe ever so slightly in the future.

Thanks man! It's alright if you don't know anyone around here; I'm still not exactly the most established of roleplayers on this site either, but that's always the best way to get to know people - by getting involved :)

Thanks you! Welcome to the group! :D

Alright, that's 5 people on board which is a good starting number but the more the merrier! I need to make a few edits to the old thread before it goes live, but hopefully that shouldn't take me any more than a few days.
