"There once was an ocean of red.
Where the waves hit, death would spread.
Warriors of remarkable skill,
There's no monster that they couldn't kill.
You ought behave as you should,
Lest you dare to face a Red Hood.

"But times, they do a-change.
What was once weird is now far less strange.
The ocean of red has dried.
The Hoods either hid or died.
The killers of killers are gone
But the killers, themselves, live on.

"In the darkness, there is a great stirring.
Reality, itself, is blurring,
An evil power destined to return
To watch the world and its creatures burn
You can feel it in the air, the awful dread.
It's time to don the hood. Make sure it's red."


The Red Hoods saga started with The Red Hoods: Initiates. A squad assembled by Commander Blanchette Rouge, the original Red Riding Hood of lore, The Red Hoods were a team of monster hunters comprised of humans and monsters alike, unified to take on the creatures of darkness.

This was over 300 years ago.

These days, the Red Hoods are long gone. As a clause of peace between Man and the supernatural creatures of the world the Hoods were forcefully disbanded. While some Monsters were able to join society, there are still plenty who find civility impossible. Dark creatures of hate and instinct still lurk in the shadows and there is an even greater threat amassing, an Evil never seen before. Perhaps it's time to bring the Red Hoods back from death. Perhaps its time for a Rebirth.

The Red Hoods: Rebirth will be a narrative based RPG. It will begin on October 20th. Players will be able to pick from a variety of races with a variety of skills.

This RP will be borrowing several concepts from things like the movie Bright and the series Carnival Row with a central theme being human and mythical creatures living together in the modern age. Prejudice, social inequality, fear, horror, crime and mystery will all be points that will be touched upon within the game while we discover our characters and how they fit in this world.

Several players from the original game are set to return. These will be the only character that will be eligible to start out as Red Hoods. If you haven't played before then your character is initially unaffiliated. That's not to say your character can't start out as a vigilante in their own right. The flip side of that is that you can absolutely make a character that has no fighting prowess at all if you feel you can stay interested in it and make sure the character still fits in the world.

Magic will be possible but it'll be limited and have its tolls. It's a modern world with modern technology. If the technology exists now, it exists in the game.

As we get closer to the start date, I will periodically update this post with more pertinent system, world and lore information so check back from time to time.


I'm sure many people will have many questions as they start conceiving of their characters. I assure you I will try to get to them all. My active times are on weekends. I can still be reached on weekdays, but my availability for RP talk will be much thinner as I work long hours and once I 'clock out' I usually use the rest of my conscious hours as an opportunity to relax and have minimal responsibilities.

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...







Characters








The aforementioned races are ones that potential players have already expressed interest in. In creating a character, you are not limited to these species. If you would like to discuss a difference species, please come prepared with a pitch. I want to know their lore, their history, their strengths and weaknesses and why they are in Duncaster. I cannot guarantee all species will be accepted, but all will be considered.





This is a very rough OOC right now that I plan on polishing further over the next few days, as well as formatting to be a little more uniform in presentation. As noted in the big text at the top, be sure to check back every now and then for new and expanded information. The game is scheduled to officially start on October 20.

Feel free to go ahead and start submitting applications for consideration. Not all applications will be accepted (we currently have 16 interested parties and I'm sure that number is bound to grow before it comes time to start making decisions), but all applicants will get fair consideration. This will not be a first come, first served type of application process. I'm looking for players who are willing to invest, who can get along with our little family and who are excited and self motivated when it comes to creativity and keeping the story rolling.

If your character is not initially accepted, they are still potentially eligible for future entry into the RP if an active player drops out or if it'll serve our plot.

We do have an active Discord. Anyone is able to join for now but, once we start making cuts, those who are not actively playing in the RP will be respectfully asked to exit the discord or otherwise removed. You can ask me or any of the GMs for an invite through private messages.

Cool submissions so far. The current plan is to distribute official acceptances next weekend, giving everyone an opportunity to get their characters in. Afterward, the game will start the following week on Oct 20.

I know I will be bringing back Zeke from the first game in a much more active role this time around. I'll get his CS up this weekend. I'm debating about rolling out a new character, too, as a sort of main. We'll see!

In any case, keep 'em coming!

@RedVII, I hope to have a character (Orc) posted by Friday at the latest. Ironhaven appears to be a provincial location within Tenebris. I may create a city/town within that region and a district populated by Orcs. They would be factory workers or soldiers; at least veterans. I'm thinking a Detroit, Michigan flavor before everyone was laid off replete with all the racial tensions one would expect between humans and orcs.

@Xandrya That's fine, just be aware that we're trying to coordinate four different schedules across four different timezones to get together and review characters, so if you don't submit before the weekend, there is a chance that your character won't be considered, purely for practicality's sake.
