You wake up with a throbbing pain in both your head and your hand. When you open your eyes you see only darkness. You have been shoved into a cramped space. When you break your way out, you find yourself in a wide, dimly lit foyer. It's furnished in drab reds. You add your own red to it in the form of the blood dripping from your hand. A number has been neatly carved into it. More blood coats the foyer's walls, spelling out the rules of some sort of 'game.' You don't remember how you got here, but you aren't alone. Several other people break their way out of the wooden boxes they'd been stuffed into. Coffins. You have an awful feeling some of you may be returning to them soon.
Hi! Welcome to my interest check! Something dark and gory for Halloween season!
For those of you not familiar with the "King's Game," it's a game (sometimes for children, sometimes a drinking game, sometimes used for horror like this) where people draw numbers and one person draws "King," the King gives orders to the numbers without knowing who has what number. For example, "#1, trade clothes with #4." Then, everyone redraws for the next round, etc.
For this RP, every character has already been assigned a number and they won't change. They orders will also be more sinister in nature - as this is a horror/gore RP! The King will secretly be one of the player's characters, and orders will be given out by a third party (me, the GM). They will start off mild (X, punch Y in the face) and gradually increase in maliciousness (X, cut off Y's foot) as the game goes on. Eventually, characters will die.
This is planned to be a short term RP, and the game ends when either the King is discovered and killed, or all players other than the King are killed.
That being said, I'd prefer if characters didn't start off killing each other willy-nilly. If this situation were to happen in real life, people wouldn't do that. Work together to discover the King's identity! As of right now, I'm planning the King (or "Ou-sama/Ousama") to be randomly selected.
Keep in mind:
- You must be OKAY with your character potentially dying
- You must be OKAY with your character potentially being the King
- You must provide a dark secret/reason your character COULD be the King/a player
- Bio section is not present in the CS because it will not be relevant to the RP
- Because this is a short term RP, you must commit and be active! You don't need to worry about keeping track of a long story line! If you lose interest, let me know ASAP so the next order can be to kill your character! That we we don't have sudden disappearances!
I'm currently thinking a group of 5-6 characters would be best, that way the group isn't too large but there are enough characters to make the mystery of "who is the king?" work.
tl;dr - characters awaken trapped in an old mansion and are forced to play a fatal King's Game. The GM gives out the orders but one of the players is secretly the King. Character death WILL happen. Find the King to win otherwise you die.
(If the tl;dr interests you PLEASE read the entire interest check lmao)
Feel free to ask questions!
