I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” - Psalm 91:2

Vigil of the Faithful


A parliament of monsters hides behind the curtain. They emerge, sometimes, past the red velvet. They move in shadows among the human herd, reaching out and plucking the unsuspecting into their grip. Humans can be livestock to the hungry, lovers to the lustful, and toys to the wicked. All the horror stories talk of it: vampires filling their mouths with our blood, lycanthropes harrying mortal prey through dark forests, demons convincing a man to hand over his soul in a gift-wrapped bundle.

But they aren’t just stories, are they? No, the horrors are real, hiding within a labyrinth of mystery.

They have many names. Rakshasa. Oni. Agma. Shaytan...

Demon.

Whatever they are called, one thing remains constant: wherever there are demons, there are people who hunt them.

You are one such person. Armed with steel, fire, and faith, you keep the Vigil. Someone must bear the burden of your thankless Crusade-- so let it be you. But you are not alone-- others like you fight elsewhere, doing what needs to be done. Perhaps you still fight that good fight, or perhaps you've laid down your arms, having passed on your teachings to someone else. Whatever the case is, today you have received a message: a summons, directing you to Las Vegas, where an entire Compact of hunters has gone silent.

Intel suggests that this Compact uncovered a small clan of vampires, and likely perished in the attempt to eliminate it. An unfortunate loss, to be certain, but organizations in the region are scrambling to contain the situation. Boots on the ground are already establishing a perimeter while trying to keep things hidden from the public. They've even sent for hunters from different parts of the world. Whether you're the on first flight out, or are already driving across states to reach the infamous Sin City, you know things won't be easy when you get there.


OOC Section

Hey everyone. Crawling out of my hole for a while as I'm in that RPGuild mood again. This time, I wanted to try taking a stab at a spiritual successor to one of the RPs I was in, called Divine Intervention (with an honorable mention to Into the Depths). Although we didn't get far, it was a fun time, and we were on record pace before it unfortunately ended. Regardless, I've found a lot of inspiration in that and have been hankering for a similar RP since.

I suppose in that sense, it's good to be the change you want in the world.

This is an action/horror RP (leaning more on the action part) that's inspired by the likes of Supernatural, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Hellsing, the Fate Series, and various other media. You would be playing a person of a religious denomination known in their circles as a Hunter. They're also frequently known by alternative terms such as Exorcist, Executor, Onmyouji, or various other titles. Your character is assumed to be an experienced, seasoned hunter of some renown in their circles, but this is not necessarily required.

Most important, I think, is the fact that this is intended to be a short RP. There's a rough plotline in my head that involves a group of Hunters arriving, fighting their way through a city block infested by vampires and their minions, before ascending a skyscraper and putting an end to the threat. If this RP succeeds, I'll be more than happy to continue it afterward, perhaps writing a new mission or arc. But the pacing is important, and I'd like to try and keep it that way.

tl;dr: I want to run a small, campy action RP about killing demons (though in this case, vampires). If you want to crack some skulls and preach the word of God (or whatever it is you believe in), I'll be happy to take on a few players.

Glad to have you, Spectral! You weren't around for the original RP, but I think you'll like this one.



Hell yeah, welcome aboard, Inertia!

Sweet, nice to meet you both! I might not be taking many more players on from this point, barring a few exceptions, as a smaller group typically means quicker response times.

I'll try to have a sheet template up later so people can start writing or adapting their characters from the previous RP to be in here. And of course, I'll see about having the OOC and Discord up sooner rather than later. In the meantime, y'all feel free to throw any questions or character concepts over if you like!

Welcome! I'll take you on as well.

I think that six players should be sufficient. Any more and we might start to slow down. I'll work on stuff soon!

Sheet's up! Ended up just stealing the thing from the old RP, with a few adjustments. The main post is updated accordingly. If you were in the previous RP, all you need to do is adjust the Organization and Division, as well as change the Age and Nationality to update your sheets.

Sheet and format below. Be sure to add an image and change the hider name accordingly!


If you need explanations on what should be in each section, feel free to check the hider below, and to ask if you're still not sure!


A sample sheet, and one of the NPCs already on the ground before the rest of you get here.
