SWEET DREAMS CORPS

~

For the better part of a year, the city of Wincrest, New Jersey, has been a literal nightmare.

A malicious force has fallen over the city, something that people have started calling 'The Curse'. For some, The Curse traps them in their own mental worlds, dreams and nightmares that bleed into reality if left unchecked. Others turn into monsters of any shape and size, born from their very fears. An organization called Behdlam R&D has put the entire city under lockdown, walling it away from the rest of the world. To put it simply, things are pretty shit nowadays.

You're one of the lucky ones, though. You're immune to The Curse's effects - you don't get sucked into these weird dreamscapes, you haven't turned into a monster yet, and the people in charge say you're safe, so it looks good. But that also means you're in the thick of it. Behdlam R&D has recruited you against your wishes, using your natural resistance to their advantage. Now part of a branch called the "Sweet Dreams Corps", it's your job to clean up the messes. You stop the monsters, you go into people's heads... essentially, you're supernatural pest control.

Good luck!

Premise

You are the newest "recruits" of the Sweet Dreams Corps, a semi-militarized taskforce made to combat The Curse, a supernatural force that's plaguing the city. Between fighting off horrific monsters and diving into the dreams of those under The Curse, you'll have your work cut out to keep the peace. Luckily, along with being immune to The Curse, you possess a slight grasp over it, and can wield its dream-like power for yourself. With Behdlam R&D backing your and literal magic at your fingertips, you might stand a chance against the weirdness going on out there.

But there's a chill in the air, a sense that, as you near the first anniversary of when The Curse began, something really bad is about to happen...

Setting



Wincrest. The Zombie City, as people call it. Having died and revived since its conception, Wincrest is infamous in most of New Jersey and the surrounding area for being cursed. Any business that starts there is soon to go bankrupt, and moving into the city is sure to shatter any dreams. Wincrest is either a thriving hotbed of hopeful beginning or a husk of utter nothingness, depending on who you ask. Of course, if you asked anybody now, they'd all agree that Wincrest really sucks.

Ever since The Curse was realized, Wincrest has been cut off from the rest of the world. Surrounded by a 10-foot thick wall of hard metal and encased in a gigantic bug-zapper of a dome, nobody has entered or left the city since. A dark haze fills the air, almost like a perpetual nighttime that blots out the sun, making the already depressing city even drearier. Life tries to go on as normal, but with jobs growing more defunct every day and the streets being a danger at a moment's notice, most everyone is antsy, riled, wanting things to change.

Now, folks are starting to gather; criminal elements converge, trying to overtake the city; mobs form, conflict rising as they just want to leave; some are even embracing The Curse, a cult that's steadily gathering more members as it boasts of salvation.

And, worse than all of that... the Block Stop finally ran out of slushie syrup!

Unfortunately I won't be moving forward with this! I really liked the idea but one of my other RP's picked up in pace and I don't want too much on my plate!

Also! To anyone reading, or having read, or lurking, I updated the OP! Put in some much needed information and spruced it up to make it look a bit nicer, at least to me. So please give it a look over, again if you have to!

Hmm. Dreams and nightmares. Heavens and hells. Looks interesting, although I will admit I might have a bit of a hard time coming up with a character for it. Considered doing something with time, maybe making a strategist character of sorts or something.

This is a good idea - but it's just not really my cup of tea. Have fun!
