Preface
"What are the rules of reality? Well they aren't certain, my friends. And if they are indeed certain, then they do not refer to reality."
What does a magic key, eccentric townsfolk, an evil book, an immortal, shady government agents, amphibians, a mad scientist, old seafood, and an ancient cult have in common? The sleepy seaside town of Innsmouth of course. See, it all started with the mysterious disappearance of one Suzanne "Suzie" Moore. Straight-A student. Captain of the high school cheer leading squad. Most popular girl at school. Voted most likely to be kidnapped and probably murdered. The police couldn't find any trace of her except for a strange puddle of green water by her bedside on the night she disappeared.
Things have only gotten stranger since. Some of the townsfolk have accused their neighbors of having... changed. Not in terms of their physical appearances but their mannerisms. Some have become shut-ins while others display weird erratic behaviors, even violent tendencies. It's like an "invasion of body snatchers," claimed fisherman and local town conspiracy theorist, Dan Mulberry. But maybe—just maybe—he isn't simply blowing smoke with these claims.
Now a journalist has arrived to investigate the abundant curiosities that plague this once quiet town in hopes of uncovering the truth of it all. But this is not a story of simply one person. This town will soon be visited by all manners of interesting characters whose story will inexplicably intertwined with one another. And all of these characters playing their respective roles will contribute to solving the most important mystery of them all: what the hell happened to Suzie Moore? But take heed, because something sinister writhes beneath, awaiting the end to a long slumber...
- Welcome to this supernatural, sci-fi, horror, mystery RP that seeks to answer one question: what happened to Suzie Moore? And plus a variety of subplots we'll figure out along the way. While I say supernatural, sci-fi, horror, mystery, we aim to not make this a wholly grim endeavor. There will be light, comedic moments aplenty.
- Your character can be whatever you please them to be as long as they fit into the mold of the world and contributes to the progression of the plot. Any roles that I mention in the preface can be occupied by your character or you can do something totally your own. It's up to you. Your characters should have their own motivations and goals that will someway or another end up intertwining with the other characters.
- Our setting is the fictional town of Innsmouth, New England on the US eastern seaboard. A small fishing town that just got really weird all of a sudden and will only get a lot more weirder once all our characters come into the fold and their stories gradually unravel.
- The central plot serves more as a backdrop at the start of the RP where each individual character's personal plot takes center stage and, as the RP progresses, the central plot rears its ugly head more and more, culminating in some crazy BS where all the characters are involved and are doing their damnedest to make it out slightly scathed but alive... maybe.
