INVISIBLE MONSTERS
According to the Mayan calendar, the world ended in 2012. Before that, the world ended in 2000 as a result of the Y2K and faces further demise as predicted by various mystics that fall within the same category as Baba Vanga, Edgar Cayce, and Nostradamus. If one were to preach that the world was to end tomorrow or next week, you'd rightfully disbelieve them as a result of self-fulfilling prophecies, failed predictions, and a general bliss of the unexplained due to a rise in science. With impressive breakthroughs in technology, biology, physics, mathematics, and chemistry, people have strayed further and further away from belief towards the paranormal only to predictably replace it with skepticism.
While it is true that much of the modern world is explainable, one might find themselves tongue-twisted in an attempt to prove a terror that only they can see. Luckily, these individuals may not find themselves to be alone and completely powerless, but they may also find that the rare appearance of a nightmarish creature have become occurrences. Finding themselves and their loved ones stalked by menaces that are invisible to a majority of the population, perhaps the world truly is at the end of its tether. Or at the very least, perhaps these individuals are at the end of theirs.
And what a shame that the gates have only begun to open. . .
WHAT IS THIS ROLEPLAY?
I don't plan to put limitations on characters in regards to age (as long as it's realistic and say, a child character is accompanied by an older family member, etc) or how many can characters each player is allowed to have. I plan for character death is be plausible and common as I want this to feel like an actual horror Roleplay with genuine consequences (injury or the common "going mad" trope from Lovecraft are both welcomed as well). Whether or not there will be anything that "makes our characters special" (aside from being able to see these "invisible monsters") is currently up in the air and I have reasons to be both for and against it.
I think that it's it for now. I'm completely open to ideas, suggestions, and the like. So. . throw your ideas and interest at me!
