(Before we get started, I'd like to clarify: no knowledge of the Skulduggery Pleasant universe is at all expected. The fandom's somewhat obscure, and I wouldn't expect to get a group of any real size out of only prior fans. However, the books are very good, and I'd encourage you to read them if you have any kind of interest in urban fantasy.)
(Also, we are not sticking to canon. Due to what I'm generally expecting for the plot, it's likely that several characters that were alive in the books will not survive this rp, and vice versa.)
Ireland, 1850. The evil sorcerer Mevolent has been fighting a war on a global front, battling the magical organisations known as the Sanctuaries for over two centuries. It is his goal to return the evil, insane gods known as Faceless Ones to our world, and once no one is left to oppose him, this may well happen. Worse yet, though the Sanctuaries held the upper hand during the first decades of fighting, Mevolent has begun to turn the tables. Skulduggery Pleasant has been dead for 150 years, and now, alongside the cunning manipulator, Nefarian Serpine, and the brutally fervent Baron Vengous, Mevolent has recruited a third general for his armies: the unstoppable necromancer Lord Vile.
The Sanctuaries are losing the war for the world. If the Faceless Ones return, humanity will be wiped out. This is not a fight in which the Sancturaries can afford to be defeated. That's where you come in.
You have travelled to Ireland, one of the three Cradles of Magic - areas where all magic is at its strongest. Mevolent has most of his strength marshalled there, but his control of the country is not total. It will be your job to work your way through Mevolent's forces, assassinating key targets in an attempt to destabilise Mevolent, and eventually, kill the man himself.
So, do I have your interest?
