The Mask of Red Death
(An RP inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe short story of the same name.)
The world is ridden with an incurable disease. A disease that causes it's victims skin to rot, their eyes to go blind, their spit to be filled with blood, and pain to rack every nerve in their body until death. No one is immune. There is no cure.
There is, however, a haven. Surrounded by high walls is the heavily protected city of Salute. For more than a hundred years it has kept it's inhabitants safe from the disease. Any sign of sickness is quickly gotten rid if by quickly killing the victim and burning the body. This city is the only place where there is peace...
...until now.
The leader of Salute, Marcus Lamouth, has been found dead in his mansion. The cause of death? Sickness.
Not only that, but more and more people in the city are getting sick. Supplies are dwindling. Panic is setting in.
And a figure with a red mask seems to be the one behind it all...
The City
Solid brick walls surround the city like a circle. Guards are posted by every exit/entrance. In the center stands an enormous tower where the Leader, Army Commander, Head of Health, and Agricultural and Ranching Expert hold meetings. The city is divided into seven districts that see organised by rank, social status, and colors.
The Blue District
The buildings are painted blue and are architectured to be comfy and simple.
This district is home to multiple merchants and shops. If you're looking for goods, you can definitely find them here.
The Pink District
The buildings are large and grand. There are mainly mansions in this area.
The rich and important live within this district.
The Green District
The buildings are designed to hold large amounts of animals, harvested crops, and families comfortably.
This is where most of the farmers and ranchers live and supply food for the city.
The Yellow District
The buildings are more like shacks. The streets are dirty and a heavy stench is in the air.
The poor inhabit this area, a well as a lot of unruly folk.
The White District
The buildings here are factories and warehouses. Manufactured products are created here.
The Violet District
The buildings are simple houses with a rare store here and there. The middle-class live in this district.
The Red District
The place is in ruins. No one lives here. A large clock tower looms ominously in the middle. At the foot of the clock is a shallow pit filled with ashes and bones.
This is where the sick are killed and their bodies burned. It's also here the Red Masked Figure is mostly spotted.
The Citizens
Citizens are required to wear a mask. Though this is mostly for identification of rank, there is a superstition saying that the mask will protect you from sickness. No one wears a red mask for they say that the colour itself will bring misfortune.
The Ranks
The Leader
The one who makes the important decisions. When the Leader dies, the most qualifying official shall take their place.
(Formerly Marcus Lamouth)
The Army Commander
The one in charge of the guards. He controls and monitors the safety of Salute's denizens.
(Jalyn Anders [NPC])
Head of Health
In charge of the city's health. Since the outbreak they've been trying (and failing) to create a cure.
(Dr. Darey Daniels [NPC])
Agricultural and Ranching Expert
In charge of supplying the city's food. Runs the entire Green District.
(Lamara Fer [NPC])
The Red Mask
Not much is known except that he is spotted whenever someone dies of illness. They say that a single touch from him can infect you with the disease.
The more deaths there are, the more the figure is seen.
Who is he? What does he want?
That is for you to uncover...
Warning: People will die.
