In Primal Sinsister, the story is centered on a mysterious town with a tragic past. Originally it was a simple town built along the flanks of the sprawling Deepwater river. Like most modern towns it had its problems, none more so than the income disparity between its two sides. On the north bank of the river sits the bustling center of the city and finan hub of the state. There are fancy restaurants, world class night clubs, and countless centers of higher learning. It is a travel destination, and used to see hundreds of thousands of travelers each year. On the south bank of the river sits the lower district. It was once a manufacturing capital of the country but has long since known its absence. Situated close to the mountains and thus the minutes it used to be the heart of the city that pumped life into the other districts. Now, it is an over policed, under funded, and desolate place that the city council turns a blind eye to in the hopes that everyone will either be arrested or murdered in the streets. Even before the Cataclysm came to Cloverfield the powers that be were plotting to acquire and place over the residential areas of the lower districts.[sup][h3][color=2e2c2c][b]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ [right]▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅[/right][/b][/color][/h3][/sup][/row][row][cell] [center][youtube]https://youtu.be/ug852nvAGZw?si=YKD-GH_j0dceOivL[/youtube][hr][b][url=https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6GWCo2i16rxLr94pRduMbq?si=DlOguVEnS8u70YNuSpLe9w]PLAYLIST[/url][/b] [b][URL=https://discord.gg/4FznNGS]DISCORD SERVER[/URL][/b][/center] [/cell][cell]A year and a half ago the city was rocked by the cataclysm that had threatened the world, magic and mundane alike, when Princess Nadine, herald of Nyrah the Ravager, descended from the skies and began to flatten the city. Several large cities had already found their destruction at her hands, and Cloverfield was poised to be the next on the way to the complete destruction of Dazzle. Yet, unlike the others that came before it Cloverfield was not only able to hold back the onslaught but also break Nyrah, and seal her and her destructive magic in the body of Princess. Unlike every city before it Cloverfield has deep connection with the land around it, cultivated by the various covens that trace their lineage back to the founding of the city itself, if not further back. This connection, this city, and these people ultimately did the impossible and saved the realm of Dazzle from further destruction. However, despite this grand victory, the city has begun to show its ugly side in the years since. While the North side has had billions of dollars invested into the rebuild of the downtown district and other impacted areas the lower district has seen pennies on the dollar. While the bright lights of the city shine every brighter, the lower district has to contend with rolling blackouts.[/cell][/row][/table][indent]White the skyline slowly returns to the north side; the lower district has seen their homes flattened and destroyed. The town that had accomplished so much is being pushed into a boiling pot with no path out. As well, as a result of the sheer destruction and suffering brought by Nyrah, monsters have begun to stir up in the mountains and in the haunted woods. Werewolf packs have begun to hunt once more, reports of vampire conclaves have begun to make the rounds in the magical circles in town, and ancient and terrible monsters long since locked away in the have begun to wake. If legends are to be believed the town could face a new threat in the coming months, if not years, that would shatter the fragile balance of the city. Thus it is here, amidst the backdrop of one of the oldest mountain ranges in Dazzle, where the inhabitants of Cloverfield must find their place. In this most fantastical of locations countless factions move to place themselves on the top of the proverbial ladder. They can choose to exist, as they are and always were, in this city despite what has happened. They can choose to uplift themselves and those close to them by playing the game and finding a place for themselves on the steps of the ladder. They can also choose to help burn it all down. Or they can choose to investigate the strange happenings in the woods and up in the mountains. Choice is the gift that was given back to the people of Dazzle and each person will have their own choices to make. Above all else, its thematic will be [b]Connections[/b], [b]Identity[/b], [b]Emotions[/b], and [b]Memories[/b].[/indent][h1][color=black] RULES & NOTES [/color][/h1][sup]_______________________________________________[/sup] [hider][table][row][/row][row][cell][b]1.[/b] First and foremost, I reserve the right to reject anyone from the RP and boot them out at any time. I hate to do this, and I will [i]try[/i] to avoid it, but sometimes, some people are too disruptive to the RP or aren't a good fit and must be removed. [b]2.[/b] Please try to be respectful towards all other players. [b]3.[/b] The Recollections Universe is a dark off-urban fantasy set in the real world, so it'll be relatively realistic. I want all characters to make sense, have a realistic (or natural) faceclaim, etc. You can pretty much go crazy with any character of any sexuality, gender, race, religion, etc. Just stray away from sociopaths/psychopaths, please. [b]4.[/b] The tone of the RP will be relatively dark and brooding... not super gritty or edgy ([s]only a little[/s]). It'll have plenty of dark moments and probably some pretty graphic moments - with occasional nudity. However, the absurdist humor inherent to the setting will offset it. [b]5.[/b] no "wip" sheets on the OOC. Post a complete sheet, or don't post anything at all. If you need something looked over, feel free to private message me. Speaking of which, the character tab is for accepted characters only. [b]6.[/b] Keep in mind that your character can die. If they make the wrong move, it can result in their death, and I will not jeopardize the story to save them. [b]7.[/b] You're allowed to have as many characters as you can handle... don't go [i]too[/i] crazy. I want to keep it to about two characters max per person, but if you have a good idea, I'll allow more. [b]8.[/b] Keep in mind that this RP isn't quite a regular superpower RP ([s]even though you'll ignore this[/s]); it's an off-urban fantasy with horror themes. It's a weird blend of thirty different genres, but that's beside the point. I want the abilities in this setting to be more grounded in magic, the fantastical, and the thematic over everything. I like abilities that [i] somehow reflect[/i] the user, but I'd appreciate seeing how you interpret it. I would prefer if you stray away from scientific abilities like gravity/magnetism manipulation, but I will allow it if you insist. [b]9.[/b] I only describe the essential lore for character-making. That is because I like doing stuff from top-to-bottom, meaning I like to explore the supernatural world in character. Please let me know if you want any details about the lore for making a character.[/cell][cell] [b]10.[/b] The following abilities are banned: Magic Negation/Replication, "instant death" powers, reality-warping, anything with "Omni" attached to it, complete defense/indestructibility, and any other ridiculous ability. I will explain why if necessary. [b]11.[/b] This RP will strictly be "first come, first serve." I will not reserve any /characters/roles/etc, and they will go to whoever finishes their character sheet first. If there's a conflict over it, I will decide the outcome. [b]12.[/b] All I ask for is one post a week. Your character will be deemed inactive if it's been a week since your last post. Please be aware that once your character has been deemed inactive, I have free reign to control them, or they can be killed off. [b]13.[/b] The RP runs off of the Ambiguous Time Period. This means the RP will have aspects from different periods with no set year, so placing a specific period would be hard. [b]14.[/b] Don't fill out the weaknesses section of the character sheet. I'll fill that out for you! [b]15.[/b] This is optional, but I can write a magical power for your character. It'll be a fun little thing for both of us. [b]16.[/b] I'm going for a lower power level; think like "street level." Like I don't want characters throwing around buildings, but I want a focus on the wielder/esoteric abilities. [b]17.[/b] Some rules are so beaten into your head that it should be obvious.
