INITIATES


Welcome to the land of Tenebris. Make yourself at home within these grim and gothic lands filled with farmers, brewery owners, shopkeepers, knights, tradesmen, lords and, of course, all the monsters. Each regional baron has their own way of ruling their territory as well as their own forms of armed security. But their soldiers are trained to fight other humans.

Enter The Red Hoods.

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. Us. 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.

We are above local authority. The Red Hoods operate like a hive. Though there are satellite locations across the land, they all take orders from their base of operations, which is headquartered in the province of Duncaster and ran by Commander Rouge.


Blanchette Rouge
Red Hood Commander


You become a Red Hood by one of two means: You volunteer or you're forced. Some people seek out a higher calling, joining the Red Hoods for the promise of adventure or to just test their mettle against the creatures of the night. Others were presented with an ultimatum. Serve with the Hoods or die. Those guilty of heinous crimes or those touched by the supernatural themselves are always given a way out before the sentence of death is executed. Everyone with a hood made their choice and so shall you.*

This is a big world and there is a lot to cover, but exploring and learning is much more fun than memorizing, so information about the world around you will be given gradually through dialogue and gameplay. Here's what you need to know right off the bat...








There are limited available slots for this campaign (though I could be convinced to open up more for the right applicants). If the roster fills and you still want in, I'll be happy to keep a reservation log and hit you up if one of the players drops early. That said, if a player drops and it will be more problematic to bring in a new person (like toward the middle or end of the campaign when we're starting to wrap things up), I reserve the right to not make any replacements.

*Yes, I'm totally ripping off Game of Thrones' Night's Watch with this aspect

For our character's appearance, would you prefer realistic or drawn images?

My preference would be drawn, if only because I'm going to be able to find more drawn art of the creatures we'll be up against as opposed to live action.

That said, there's no rule here. If you find a live action picture that you prefer, use it. If you can't find any picture you like, write up a description and we'll use our imagination.

Would you prefer us to include history, or reveal it later?

Edit: I cannot read.

Here's my first go at a character. If she's not up to snuff just tell me and I'll make the needed adjustments.

EDIT: Updated with a writing sample/look into Eliza's past.

Edit - Changed character image and name
Edit #2 - Added a little detail on his area of expertise, as I don't think it's particularly clear from the picture
Edit #3 (I know, I know, I like to tweak things whilst I wait!) - Made it pretty =)

@Exit@Argetlam350@Inertia@SouffleGirl123@Saarebas@ZAVAZggg@OppositionJ@Speech@Ever@sassy1085
Tagging you all from the interest check.

Thanks for all the submissions so far. I've got to put together a cohesive team that will work best with the story and I also want to give a chance to those who expressed interest early on, so I'm going to hold off on approvals until we get a broader selection of candidates.

I'll send out messages today to those characters with whom I need further explanation. Thanks!

It should be noted that with all submissions and reservations in total, we have 10 people that are actively trying to join, not including 5 others who expressed interest in the Check thread who have not managed to post, yet.

That said, please be prepared for the fact that not everyone will be accepted. As mentioned before, I will try and form the most cohesive team among the available applicants. Nothing is personal. If you are not selected for this campaign, please do not fret. There will be more opportunity in the future.

Thanks!

Due to so many others already posting their sheet, maybe I can just be put in the reserves for if someone drops out? It will take me a little bit to get my sheet up so I'm sure many others will gets theirs in before me.

I appreciate the willingness to step back for others.

That said, i will approve applicants tomorrow as i am still ironing out details via PMs with several of you so if anyone who wants to apply could please get their submissions in by then, you will be considered. After that, we'll close applications. That should be plenty of tine for those who expressed interest early to get a chance to join.
