Monsters... Mythical beasts and creatures with incredible powers. They used to roam the world, hunting humans for their own pleasure or entertainment. It has been many years since we have had eyes on a monster. Some say that heroes brought them to extinction. Others claim that they just found another world and vanished to it. Not me though. I know they are still around, pretending to be humans. No worries though, we'll find them... sooner or later... - Commander Charles G. Vector, Leader of the Hero Association

From a very long time, monsters have been living among humans in various monster communities, hidden from view by magical abilities. Only humans that are completely trusted by the monsters know of their locations, and even then, they are usually not allowed inside their living area.



This is the Umbra Rose Condo, a closed off apartment complex with tight security. Residents hardly ever leave the safety of the gates, and when they do, it's not for long. Magical spells are in place to prevent humans from knowing what happens inside and who the residents of this place truly are... Monsters

This is a slice of life fantasy roleplay about monsters living in an apartment building in a city. They can be who they really are inside the gates of the complex, but outside, they need to behave like humans or the Hero Association may find them. I have various plans about events happening both inside and outside the complex, so if this interests you, please let me know.

I love a spice-of-life story with a little extra spice!

Could I play a normal unsuspecting human who stumples into this situation and is just terrified of everything/everyone? XD

I'm sure we can work something out with that. Like a random person that was mistakenly accepted in to the complex.

<3 Happy to be the comic relief random accepance or some front-desk guy tasked with making sure things dont get out of hand and who's in way over his head.
Otherwise more than willing to play a more traditional monster just trying to pay his bills.

I've been playing around with this concept for a while, I quite like how you've added your own twist here. Perhaps the monsters are referred here by monster rescue agencies? Under many cities, there are disused and closed loops for underground subways, perhaps missing from various maps? It would be one way for those of the supernatural persuasion to make their way about the city - perhaps to other locations, say markets, schools, or even a clinic? I remember reading a book about people digging tunnels and setting up bars and the like.

Perhaps you inherit the place? Or there's a bit of confusion and the tenants believe you're a monster just like them?

This seems like it could be fun. A bit of laid-back slice of life shennanigans with monster girls, along with the potential for some action/suspense could be an enjoyable setting. ^^

Just a few questions though:

1. Does this take place in "ou" world/on Earth? And if so, in what country/location?

2. Are there any particular monsters that're off-limits to play as? Or ones you'd prefer people to avoid?

3. To keep things from stagnating, do the apartment complex have any sort of recreational or other special amenities/facilities besides jjust... Well, living spaces? I imagine it'd have areas to cater or take care of monsters with special needs - such if someone played a mermaid or some kind of arctic/ice monster. But will there be other things to do inside the apartments? Or is this where going outside comes into play?

4. How will you handle time-progression? Given that some people might be staying indoors just chatting, while others go outside to venture, how are you going to keep the time-of-day coherent between players? This isn't really an important question, more just morbid curiosity on my part.

5. Do you prefer people to play as a single, focused character, or can players make more than one toon for this RP - if they want?

Those're all the things I'm wanting to know right now. Thank you for your time.

EDIT:


Uwaaah, I almost forgot! A very important addendum-questions!

6. In regards to the monsters we'll be playing. Are they going to be actual 100% monsters in terms of shape and size, or are we allowed to play more... Anime-esque monsters, like... A kitsune who looks like a human but has fox ears and a tail, or a lizardman who has green skin/scales but a human-ish face? Or do you want people to pick and play as just monstrous monsters?

1. It takes place in our world, but still an undefined country. I'll need to think a bit more.

2. Not at all.

3. The appartments are made for the monster in question. Some might be bigger on the inside as well. There are some amenities, but nothing big like a supermarket or even a cinema. For those kinds of things, they would have to leave.

4. From time to time I will make a post with the current time in the world. Players can then take in to account the time and proceed accordingly. They don't need to do that immediatly however. I make the post about the time, they keep rping, and when they feel like they have reached that point, then they can acknowledge the time.

5. Singles only for now. If I feel that we need more characters, I might allow more than one toon.

6. All is allowed. Dragons, Kitsunes, Slimes, the flying spaguetti monster... go for it

I am interested! Do monsters have to be real, or can we kinda make our own?

Also, you said there were some amenities, but like, if someone were to play a vampire or werewolf, I imagine they have to handle themselves when it comes to feeding and the full moon? Or are you thinking their rooms would be equipped to deal with those sorts of things?

You can make your own monster.

Not only the rooms are equipped to deal with that, but the complex itself knows of any requirements of monsters and will accomodate those requirements. Vampires for example, can travel freely while within the complex as a magical barrier protects them from the sun and there is a bar that offers suspiciously red colored drinks to those that need it. Werewolves not only get a smart locking system that traps them inside their rooms during a full moon, but the complex also offers courses on controlling instinct based behaviours.

Count Dracula: Only in America! Plastic disposable bodies! It's like a supermarket!

Blood banks and hospitals have to get rid of old blood, so there may be a "disposal service" that supplies the condo. Or they have live-in companions? Really, the only complication is if the vampire has been feeding off of drunks and have themselves become alcoholics. I don't want to imagine the AA meetings....

Perhaps for the werewolves, there's a bank vault or two downstairs. Livestock is brought in, put in the vault with the werewolves, and in the morning wash out the vault with a firehouse (good drains) and burn the remains in the furnace. I'd hate to be the one trying to break into the vault on a full moon only to find werewolves....

I've got an idea for a dragon, living in the penthouse on the top floor, overlooking the pool (which means there's an interstitial space the floor below for a mechanical room and the pool itself). Or maybe an indoor pool on the first floor to avoid helicopters and drones? The dragon wouldn't mind putting up some plants for a green space. Or are you going to be playing the dragon?
