Whittier, Alaska, is a sleepy town tucked between picturesque mountains, frigid sea, and plenty of forest. But if you're picturing a small huddle of houses, think again. Instead, on the edge of town, there stands a 14-story building called The Begich Towers- a former army barracks, resembling an aging hotel, where all of the town's residents live.

Finding your way to the remote town isn't very easy, and it’s even harder to find your way out. You can get to Whittier by sea or take an often closed, one-lane tunnel through the mountains. This is why residents inside Begich Towers have everything they need under one roof.

With the annual 30 days of night quickly approaching, the residents of Whittier are going about their appropriate preparations for a month long of darkness. However this year happens to be very different than the rest.

During this year’s “lights out” monsters within people come to surface. Your parents, your significant other, even your own children could have hidden monsters within them. It would only be revealed during this time. Along with the residents, outside forces of evil seem to flock to the towers during this event.

Survival isn’t promised.




Hey everyone, this is an old idea of mine based off a real place! I'm looking for a group of dedicated people
who want a little bit of horror but also people who enjoy the sci-fi aspect of things as well. Slice of life will be a small part of it- but definitely is present as well. Excuse me in advance as I am pretty rusty with everything and trying to get back in the guild one day at a time.

Please if you have any questions, comments, suggestions- let me know.

I personally won't be making a character but controlling NPCS/story plots as need be!

Accidentally read it as "the Beige Towers" and now I'm going to be calling them that for the entire R.P.

Interested, either way.

@Jeyma

I'm sure some people will call it that

@Force and Fury

Thankyou!




I'm thinking I want about 5-6 people interested before I get to work on the OOC and the NPCS. Does anyone have any thoughts of what they want these monsters to be? I kind of thought maybe something along the lines of wendigos type creatures? Or perhaps vampires? Zombies? Any thoughts?

I usually don't go for vampires, but they fit this environment really well. Have you ever seen the movie 30 Days of Night? It's about vampires invading a small Alaskan town during the 30-day darkness, where nobody can call for help and they can hunt 24/7. With no sunlight to worry about, and in such an enclosed space, vampires could be pretty scary.

@ErsatzEmperor

Thank you for your eagerness! It makes me more excited when others are excited.

Also good, I'm glad I'm not the only one needing a pick-me-up for my writing as of late.


@Jeyma

Yes I have! A bit of my idea came from this obviously with Alaska having their month of limited sunlight- so this is a bit on the extreme side of course. We definitely can do our own version of vampires if we'd like. They don't necessarily have to be the textbook "I vant to suk ur blud" type of guys if you know what I mean.

Thanks for your input Jeyma! We will see what others have to say.

I'm definitely up for something a bit more original than good old fashioned vampires, though as long as they're not completely textbook or completely sparkly, they would work well here. The idea of a Wendigo is more interesting on a moral and cultural level (though it really belongs to a different reasonable set of native beliefs). There's also the related Wechuge, which is slightly more geographically appropriate and may be worth checking out.

In general, I like the idea of the threat being something a bit insidious and of it potentially being able to disappear within the host or go back into hiding when all is said and done. On the one hand, it could lead to a sort of 'witch hunt' situation, but on the other, it gives people some hope and maybe makes them hesitate a bit before just blowing monsters to smithereens.

@Force and Fury

That is an interesting point you bring up- about some of the people that will have the monster of sorts inhabit them but what happens when the 30 nights is complete? Hmm definitely something to think about for sure! And no if we do go with a vampire type creature, they definitely wont be of the sparkly nature!

Will check out the wechuge (thankyou for the suggestion!)

Also very possible for us to come up with a monster hybrid of our own if someone is willing to start it off.

Also, while I'm thinking about it, would you guys be okay with this being separated into days? After the 30 days the roleplay would end (unless you would like to turn it into a slice of life but I think it would lose it's charm) But anyways- maybe each week or two in real time would be a day in this world? Or is that too structured for everyone?

After doing some research, I'm really digging the idea of the Wendigo as the mythical beast. It feels like a slightly more unique approach, fits the wintry theme, adds an element of judgement and morality to the RPG, and Wendigoag are just wickedly creepy on top of it all.

Hey guys! I've not been home for the last few days so I haven't had the chance to get on!
I apologize in advance- but i'm still very much here and still very much working on things in my head.
I won't be home officially until next Sunday-BUT I can try to manage an OOC/Character sheet from my phone atleast on Wednesday night.

Hopefully that is okay and I haven't lost any of you.

So expect Wednesday night or Thursday morning an OOC/CS from phone
and then Sunday i'll be back home and be able to be more useful
