---------------------------------------------------

I'm interested in running a horror game in a setting where supernatural elements are overlapping with the "normal" world, but, unlike an Urban Fantasy setting, or other horror themed settings, this overlap is recent, and not constant. Thus, it's not necessarily a common knowledge fact that this is happening, but people are aware of it, to some extent or another. Society being the way it is, people are still very reluctant to acknowledge what's going on, but are unconsciously adapting, i.e., people have stopped going out at night, etc. (expect a mix of more traditional monsters like things that could be compared to current mythologies like vampires and werewolves, but also "cryptids"; more "modern" monsters like The Dover Demon, Sasquatch, Chupacabra, and all manner of things that simply haven't been given a name.

Psychics and true magic are rare to this setting, but they are present. No high powered psychic abilities, but, maybe some low level stuff, like sensing emotions or reading surface thoughts, with a lot of concentration, maybe even the ability to consciously sense other minds, subtle things. No magic, just, people working with what skills and resources they have either to investigate what's going on, or just survive, depending on the role a player wants to take on and how the scenario plays out.

Players are encouraged to make use of tropes as a jumping point for building distinct characters, with some obvious caveates; Tropes are not stereo types, per se, I do want to see some actual character. On that note, embrace being someone who's good in particular situations, and maybe average at best in others; avoid the extremes of "Can only do one thing" and "capable of many things but good at precisely none of them". Other than that, give other players a chance, ok? No speed posting.





Submit Character files here, or in a PM, please. Either way, a PM conversation will be had, so, keep that in mind when deciding where to submit it.

oof... I am a very big victim of speed posting.

That being said, I won't have this rp put on indefinite hold by a player simply ceasing to participate, either. If a player hasn't formally left the rp, but has gone 7 days without posting, that player won't be removed, but the rp will move on without them, and they can just try to jump in on a later scene.

got it.

Character Name: David Laoch
Physical Description:

Age: 19
Role: Hero
Psychic: Yes, in a way.
Skills/Abilities of Note: Has an ability known as danger-sense, where when he is in danger, his reaction speed is multiplied by 10x. Think ultra instinct, but no super-speed or super-strength. He has no idea what causes the danger unless he can see it, but it’s still helpful. is skilled in martial arts and hand-to-hand fighting styles.
Background: Your average high school student. except he took martial arts classes.
Previous Encounter/s: yes. had an encounter with a Skin walkers and killed it, but it damaged his left leg, which he has since healed from, but he is now terrified of skin-walkers.
Encounter Summary:
David and Judas had been friends for years, since elementary even, grown close because of their biblical names and their love of video games. but in their high school years, they had grown distant because of the sheer amount of work placed upon David. Judas was a mastermind, easily able to handle the workload, but David was too prideful to ask for help, and as a result they hung out less and less. But David was Judas's only friend, and Judas sunk into a pit of deep dispair.
One day, The day of high school graduation, Judas called David after months of not seeing each other, and simply wanted to talk. David, feeling bad for all the time they missed out on, decided to go, but was met with an empty home. or... almost empty. you see, while David had no clue he wasn't alone, he knew Judas was gone, and all that was left was blood. He ran, as fast as his legs would carry him, back to his house, and locked the front door. But the... thing had followed him.
He grabbed all the food and water he had, as well as the Kel-tec P50 he had inherited from his father for emergencies. and he waited. he waited for 3 straight days, called the police, and waited. but nobody came. he was stuck, listening to the heavy breathing and screams of a monster for 3 days. he knew the police had heard his cry for help, but they didn't care. Nobody's coming for me. I have to do this on my own. he opened the door, and fired the gun, hit the thing right between the eyes. he killed it, and he looked at the monster. it was his friend, twisted and deformed. burdened by guilt, he ran off into the world. the fog had cleared, and he was safe.
Resources: Kel-tec P50, 2 clips (each with 50 bullets), cell phone, thermos with water, protein bar, metal bat.
Odds of Survival: 1 so far

@Sky BlueNot bad! A legit "6th sense", young martial arts enthusiast (totally realistic, actually; I did shaolin wushu in high school, myself). The firearm is a little out there, but, you're liable to draw unwanted attention to yourself if you rely on in too much, and ammunition might be a hurdle as well. Not to mention money, since you're currently living that Bill Bixby lifestyle.

If you can accept all that, I'll give you a green light.

(also, give it another look over; a "Samson" was mentioned while talking about David and Judas??)

@RickyG85 the samson was his original name. i changed it.

the gun i chose is a pistol that can hold up to 50 bullets in one clip. Should i mention how many clips he has?

I'd say he has one clip in it to start, and one spare, if we're not trying to implement a clear advantage. (he has a gun; that's already more than most horror victims/survivors get)

if that's agreeable to you, make the edits (and keep track of your ammunition, I know I will) and put it in the character tab ^_^

I'm going to give this until... Sunday, and if nobody else has signed on... I dunno, this is meant to be a group thing, and I'm not switching to the 1X1 area. if nobody else has popped in and made a character by then, I might give a week with just 1 player and see if other people join in.

I know some people i could recruit...

Age: 17
Role: Outcast
Psychic: Yes
Skills/Abilities of Note:
He has the ability to take anyone's feelings and give them to anyone else(including himself) that he can see clearly in his eyesight. However, he does this unintentionally.
Background:
He's always been the one at school who never has really had any friends and people avoid. He spends his time alone, and doesn't like to get near people. He has come to the conclusion that other people are weird and bonds are pointless after a particularly strange encounter with a group of high schoolers and his mother when he was still in middle school.
Previous Encounter/s: No
Resources: Internet, Cell Phone. His Grandfather on his mother's side, however, is a steady source regarding myths and horror stories.
Odds of Survival: (I'm just gonna go with whatever the GM gives.)

Have any of you guys seen the Mandela catalogue? that's what my guy is based on.

I'd say drop the psychic ability, and he can start with 3 Odds. Deal?

I think he went with an ability cause i got one.

@RickyG85
Sure.
So that would mean getting rid of this:

He has the ability to take anyone's feelings and give them to anyone else(including himself) that he can see clearly in his eyesight. However, he does this unintentionally.

And changing this to No:

Psychic: Yes

@Sky Blue

I think he went with an ability cause i got one.

*Gasp* I couldn't possibly have done such a thing how dare you sug-
