The story of the Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf was all just a fable. Or at least a some of it was.
You live in a world were monsters exist. Vampires, Demons, Witches, Werewolves... There are creatures that bump in the night and only one defense against them. The Red Hoods. Founded by the infamous Red Riding Hood, Blanchette Rouge, the Red Hoods is a privately owned military organization comprised of people of various backgrounds and special talents that stand up to those monsters. Technology is still behind. While firearms exist, they're a rarity. Most people use sharpened metal to solve their differences. Automobiles don't exist. Horse, Donkeys, Oxen... These are your Ford, Chevy and Dodges. A medieval setting, but not one that has to be historically accurate.
You are an initiate. Untested, unproven. You wear a yellow hood, announcing that you're a rookie. As you grow with the company, you may eventually earn your red hood, making you a badass of supernatural proportion.
Most of the Red Hoods are human, but that is not to say that The Red Hoods are shy about turning monsters against monsters. In addition to a Human option, you may also elect to be a Vampire, a Dhampir (half vampire. Will require detailed backstory), werewolf, witch, warlock, or possibly something else if you can think of a fitting species.
The rule is that you have to be able to interact with the rest of the team most of the time. I would hesitate on choosing a full-on vampire because it limits your interaction schedule, but I don't want to take it completely off the table because someone more creative than I might be able to figure out a way to make a vampire work.
I will be taking control of Blanchette and various "NPCs" to move the story along, in addition to the Big Bad Wolf who will be introduced later on in the story. I've got a few phases and checkpoints I want to hit, but this will be an RP with a definitive beginning and end. If it works out well, there will be sequels.
Players will be encouraged to develop their characters and introduce subplots. I'll get you from point A to Z, but it's up to you to make the drive a scenic one. If there is enough interest in this, I will get it roughed out and posted.
