The story of the Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf was all just a fable. Or at least a some of it was.

You live in a world were monsters exist. Vampires, Demons, Witches, Werewolves... There are creatures that bump in the night and only one defense against them. The Red Hoods. Founded by the infamous Red Riding Hood, Blanchette Rouge, the Red Hoods is a privately owned military organization comprised of people of various backgrounds and special talents that stand up to those monsters. Technology is still behind. While firearms exist, they're a rarity. Most people use sharpened metal to solve their differences. Automobiles don't exist. Horse, Donkeys, Oxen... These are your Ford, Chevy and Dodges. A medieval setting, but not one that has to be historically accurate.

You are an initiate. Untested, unproven. You wear a yellow hood, announcing that you're a rookie. As you grow with the company, you may eventually earn your red hood, making you a badass of supernatural proportion.

Most of the Red Hoods are human, but that is not to say that The Red Hoods are shy about turning monsters against monsters. In addition to a Human option, you may also elect to be a Vampire, a Dhampir (half vampire. Will require detailed backstory), werewolf, witch, warlock, or possibly something else if you can think of a fitting species.

The rule is that you have to be able to interact with the rest of the team most of the time. I would hesitate on choosing a full-on vampire because it limits your interaction schedule, but I don't want to take it completely off the table because someone more creative than I might be able to figure out a way to make a vampire work.

I will be taking control of Blanchette and various "NPCs" to move the story along, in addition to the Big Bad Wolf who will be introduced later on in the story. I've got a few phases and checkpoints I want to hit, but this will be an RP with a definitive beginning and end. If it works out well, there will be sequels.

Players will be encouraged to develop their characters and introduce subplots. I'll get you from point A to Z, but it's up to you to make the drive a scenic one. If there is enough interest in this, I will get it roughed out and posted.

This seems interesting actually. I place my interest here.

Interested!

Hmm sounds interesting

Yup this sounds like my kinda thing, interest!

Happy to see all the interest so far. I'll go ahead and make this live later today after I've polished it up a little. I'll also go ahead and get a CS template going to we can get signups while I'm working on the IC setup.

This should be fun!

I'm interested! This looks good

Oooh, this looks fun, still room in this?

Definitely. I'd hesitate to take on more than 10 people. That said, I also hesitate to take on too few. Like I mentioned in the OP, I expect a lot of player-driven content between Main Plot Points. If the players choose to just breeze through the main story and be purely reactive to the narrative, that's fine, but I would hope that people would be excited to make this game their own in a sense, and introduce subplots of their own to add to the action and development.

tl;dr: More is good :D

You have my interest. If the other RPs I'm part of don't start picking up speed soon, then you have my participation.

Hmm. Interesting.

Cool idea. I'm definitely interested.

Getting pretty full, but I'm totally interested.

If you are accepting I’d love to be apart. I’d be very interested in playing a werewolf who has joined the hoods.

I've got most of the main story outlined and polished now. The RP thread will be up as soon as I can get it all written down. Maybe in the next two hours or so, but definitely before I call it a night tonight.

We'll start with 8 or 9 open spots. First characters submitted will be the first to be reviewed and potentially approved. If you don't make the initial cut, I'm happy to keep you in the reserves in case a player drops off. If this goes well, there will also be sequels that you're welcome to join also. These campaigns will not be endless ones so opportunity will definitely knock again.

Thanks again for all the support and interest. When the live thread is up, I will link it here.

@Marrok You have a skeleton you can drop us now to get started?

Expressing interest. This sounds like it would be a lot of fun, hopefully I get a spot! :)

Also would like to express my interest :)
