Not much occurs the town of Bergen, and new arrivals are the only thing that really happen here. For the most part, the inhabitants get along with each other as best they can. But what they don't know is that many of the people of this town are supernaturals, such as skinwalkers, witches, spectres, and other odd folk. And some of the human inhabitants are hunters- A secret clandestine organization who have existed for centuries, with the sole purpose of hunting down all supernaturals. The two groups have hid their existence undetected by all in Bergen, hoping that this little town might finally grant them peace, and grant them normal lives.. but when several murder victims die of Exsanguination, it would seem that a supernatural may be causing the murders. Whether supernatural or hunter, both have their reasons for helping or hindering the murder investigations. Perhaps some might want to keep their normal lives, and destroy evidence and withhold information to keep it that way. Some might go vigilante and try to start up their own investigation, believing the local police inadequate. Or maybe even start some murders of their own....
Either way, everyone's secrets are in jeopardy. Bergen will become a new battlefield in human vs supernatural dominance. Blood will spill as the paranoia sets in. Who exactly is your new neighbor that just moved in last week? Your co-worker that always seems too busy to hang out with you? That reminds me. Your boss seems to have an avid nightlife..... A party animal or something else? You'll never know unless you take some drastic measures.About the RP:
The premise of this rp is that no one will know who is a supernatural or hunter. In order to have a CS accepted, you must send me a PM stating whether you are a supernatural or hunter, along with any potential powers/weapons, and if you are a supernatural, your species and weaknesses. Don't reveal what you are so early in the RP- That'll only make it less fun. The fun of it is that you, an rper, must find out who the other rpers are rping as, a supernatural or a hunter. You'll get a reward if you guess correctly in the RP, and a special punishment waiting for you if you guess incorrectly! So don't just ask right at the start! Read other character's posts carefully, you may find some clues. But I expect each rper to try very very hard not to give off obvious hints. But your identity will be revealed sooner or later, so you better make use of the time that people don't know what you are. Of course, with the advent of the murder, you can tamper with evidence, help the local authorities, start your own investigation, You have the freedom! Your choices will affect the role-play directly! I will post for NPCs and the sort, but if you have any good ideas anytime during the story, don't be afraid to tell me! If it's reasonable, You'll get credit if such a post is created.
Supernaturals have existed since the beginning of time.. but due to the hunters’ first brutal campaign against them, the great inquisition, many supernaturals were hunted to the brink of extinction. But outcry by the humans who were falsely accused during the inquisition, forced the hunters to call off their campaign, and the “legends” are were actually first hand accounts of supernaturals that had survived the purge. The supernaturals grew in number once more, and the hunters have tried over and over throughout the years to at least control the population, but the reality is that supernaturals are thriving….. and the hunters on the decline. Supernaturals have been trying to blend into normal human society, some needing to escape from enemies made, from hunters, or quite simply, because they want to escape from the brutal society that they are usually born in.
An ancient society of well-trained supernatural killers. Hunters come from many cultures and have varying weapons depending on their own preference. Usually, they are taught at an early age about supernatural hunting, and the policy was to ask for volunteers from parents who would give up their child in order to ensure that there were always new trainees. In the past, this worked, but after the industrial revolutions in many countries, this approach is no longer viable- Many parents are now unwilling to give up their children, and it would be hard in the present to explain what exactly they are doing with their children that they have taken from them at such a young age. Now, the order goes around orphanages, and hand pick those who seem to be physically and mentally fit, along with the children of hunter retirees. They are sheltered until they are 16, where they undergo a ritual where they have to bring back the head of a supernatural to be considered a full member. Their mission was to exterminate all supernaturals- But forced to change methods, their mission was to now control the supernatural population. And it has not been successful by any means. The Hunters have not aged as well as their supernatural counterparts- they are now dangerously few in number, and elders that taught the ways of old are now slowly dying. They are spread too thin, and recruits are becoming more and more scarce, those who ascend to full Hunter status are even more scarce… Infighting between the more flexible and more militant factions within the hunters is slowly destroying the order from within. To make things worse, with the advent of DNA testing, supernatural killing became a much harder profession- It was harder to hide evidence, and some hunters became jailed. At the rate of decay the hunters are going through, they will not last for more than a few years… Which is why many are opting to simply live normal lives, or simply go into hiding until, hopefully, the hunters might be able to rise again.
Rules:
1.To have a character accepted, you must PM me if he/she is supernatural or hunter, and any powers/weapons they may possess, and if they are supernatural, the species and weakness. I will decide whether it needs changes then.
2. No metagaming, godmodding, that kinda stuff. It gets really annoying, and I have a zero tolerance policy.
3.IF you want to leave that's fine, but please inform me if you choose to do so.
4. Please do not argue with me if the time comes. In return, I will be fair and just to any parties involved.
5. No one liners, please. I understand there are times writer's block hits, but you should be able to write more than that. Don't rush out a post if it is that short.
6. If romance ever happens, you know the drill. If it ain't PG-13 then take it to PMs.
