Shadows in the Dark - A WWII occult RP

[Mr Rage]

I won't lie to you folks, I was inspired for this by a thing I saw on the facebooks.

The general idea is that you will play a member of the occult, a vampire, werewolf, ghost, etc. during the German occupation in WWII Era France. You will be in amongst a group of normal soldiers so you are still in hiding, but due to your supernatural ways you are nearly invincible and decided that, hey, I've been living here for a few hundred years maybe I ought to help protected my neighbors, my food supply, or maybe you just like killing people. Whatever the reason, you enlisted in the military or joined up as a freedom fighter and decided to do what it is that you do best.

This will be an alternate history, but I will borrow from real events. Also, I don't speak French and know little about France, so if these things are going to be a problem, then you might want to walk, er.. click... whatever, away. If you are willing to give me some creative liberties with historical events, then maybe this will be fun.

Still interested? Let's see what we can come up with.

I am interested in this. Are you planning on having stats/rolling or more freeform? (Still interested but I prefer freeform.)

[shamrocknroll]

I'm all for some nice dieselpunk

[DeadDrop]

Cool.

[Herald]

Interested.

[Mr Rage]

@Tenslashsix I can go either way on that. If I do a stat it'll only be a really basic two stat thing, but I more or less intend it to be freeform even if I were to implement a stat. But at the same time, why complicate it further by adding stuff like that to it if I am not going to make it a rigid system.

@shamrocknroll I think the level of technology will stay pretty darn close to what we were working with during WWII. I might make a few occult gizmos to have to deal with.

@DeadDrop@Herald and everybody else: How many people do we want to have in this? I find large groups can be tiresome to wait on someone to post, but small groups fall apart easily if one person disappears. I am happy to close it up with you four, or I am happy to continue collecting players.

Also, I suppose that you don't have to be a paranormal entity if you wanted, you could certainly be a normie just trying to survive and trying to figure out how these other people keep making it through the insanity.

[DeadDrop]

lets send it G.

[Tenslashsix]

@Mr Rage I agree about the party size, maybe one more if someone shows up relatively soon? Do you have a CS that you want us to use? Annndd... as a group are you wanting us to fight against the Germans?

[Mr Rage]

@Tenslashsix I will get a character sheet up in a few hours when I get home from work, but it's going to be pretty spartan. And yes, fighting against the Nazis as a French freedom fighter, or an American/English agent if one felt so inclined.

I'll hold off on getting everything started until tomorrow in case someone else pops in, otherwise we will make due without.

Haven't RPed in a while, probably good to get back into it. I'm down.

[shamrocknroll]

@Mr Rage That's fine. with me

Character Sheet

Name:
Picture: (real or drawn, not picky, a description will work if you don't have a picture that you want to use)
Age: (appearance age or actual age in the case of the extremely long-lived)
Race: (a link to some sort of reference about your race might be nice)
Abilities:
Bio/History: (not required, but it might help add some flavor)

You will all be part of the first cells of Combat, the first militia members of the resistance. If you choose you can have it in your history that you were part of the french military prior to its defeat in June of 1940.

@Mr Rage Do you want us to post characters here?

[Mr Rage]

If you want you can, I am going to set up the OOC right now so if you want to wait a moment or so longer, you can post them over there.
