Welcome to Recollections: Under the Sycamore Tree , another RP set in the supernatural horror/urban fantasy universe known as the Recollections universe. It is set in a strange and unique universe where magic reflects the core of its humanity and its emotions, beliefs, and thoughts. Under the Sycamore Tree, is a story about a group of teenagers who defeated an ancient and powerful entity known as The Stygian Snake. The Stygian Snake was a being that was near God-like in power and could manipulate darkness, use psychic abilities to enthrall and mentally debilitate, summon monsters, control time while in the shadows, and travel between dimensions. Thus, it was nigh-unstoppable, and no one in St. Portwell could contend with being in a one-on-one battle without being killed, becoming a thrall, or worse. The Stygian Snake terrorized the coastal Oregon city known as St. Portwell, and its endgame was to use the upcoming eclipse to ascend and reach Godhood. ▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅However, three girls (Ashley Stone, their leader; Daisy Hunter, the second in command; and Auri Auclair) banded a group of their magical peers together to defeat it and called themselves the Sycamore Tree Coven (or simply the Coven). They named themselves after the very sycamore tree that they formed the pact under and used an ancient weapon known as the Apparition Killer to weaken the Stygian Snake enough for them to seal the being in the namesake tree.
Afterward, they wiped their memories of the location of the tree. Other supernatural factions and beings flooded into St. Portwell and turned the otherwise mundane city into a paranormal hotspot... and warzone. The Sycamore Tree Coven attempted to be a significant player in the supernatural scene. Still, the group ultimately disbanded due to a mixture of clashing personalities, not liking the leadership, thinking magic is too dangerous, going to other organizations in St. Portwell, or simply moving on with their lives.Thus, the battle against the Stygian Snake became the most fantastic story never told, and few were even aware of the existence of the pact those brave children made under the Sycamore Tree. Ten years have passed, and suddenly, former members of the Coven were being murdered one by one (some of whom were on the other side of the planet) with a mysterious wolf idol carved out of sycamore appearing in their residence before they were killed. The straw that broke the camel's back was the murder of Ashley Stone and the disappearance of Daisy Hunter; thus, Auri Auclair called the former members of the Coven. A desperate call to whoever she could reach, and while many either didn't accept or ignored her, Auri managed to gather a group of her former Coven.
St. Portwell's magic scene changed, and now dozens of factions vied for city control. The newly reformed Sycamore Tree Coven has to navigate the factional drama while attempting to find just who is killing them and stop them. However, their murderer has a name... Father Wolf, and the rabbit hole is far deeper than they initially thought. This story is inspired by media such as Life is Strange, Dead by Daylight, Lakeview Cabin/Valley, Bakemonogatari, and Neon Genesis Evangelion. A fusion of genres, this RP will have themes of urban fantasy and horror (I call it Surreal-Urban Fantasy). However, it won't have an emphasis on horror or spooky vibes. This RP will be more about the fantastical side of magic as I try to weave an intense and complex storyline about the Coven and their trials and tribulations as they either rise to the top or fail like before. Thus, the RP will have several different storylines simultaneously, with some things built up over time. The theme will be siblinghood, companionship, and working with people you dislike. Above all else, its thematic will be Connections, Emotions, and Memories.
So... thoughts/questions/insults? I'm really excited to run this rp.
