[OOC] City in the Dark - An Urban Shadows RP

Update: We're currently full, stay tuned!

[Kal]

At night, the city comes to life. Drunken laughs, too loud music leaking from nightclubs below the street, glimmering lights staving off the dark, and yet still shadowy corners linger. There's another layer beneath it all. A layer right in front of every single city-dweller, but very few are privy to it. Very few are privy to what you're privy to, to the secrets of the city, the creatures of the night, and the hum of unnatural force that flows through the air.

You've sensed it for a while now. Something is amiss. Misfortune is adrift and you're afraid it's about to leave the visceral and turn very, very real.

But amidst the fear, or in spite of it, you know you're prepared to face whats to come. The city shares with you its secrets. And you've a few secrets of your own. Secrets that are about to come in very handy.

Welcome to Urban Shadows!

A table-top RPG adapted into a play-by-post, it will borrow some elements of the game, such as 'classes,' while foregoing others, such as dice rolls.

Here are the available Archetypes. Archetypes serve as this game's 'classes.' Only one Archetype per Player, please!

Aware: - a mortal human who has glimpsed a bit of the strange, who knows not all things are as they seem, and can see past disguises.

Hey guys!

Welcome to the OOC, enjoy your stay!

(We're currently full, as it stands! If you're interested still, stay tuned!)

- - -

[Kal]

I'm calling wizard! *cough*

@Penny

Updated! :P

[Penny]

I adore the wizard and will stick with it, but I have always wanted to play Pestilence from the four horsemen of the apocalypse as an immortal. It would be even funnier now that she is back at work in 2020 :P

[Penny]

Also are we playing in The City or a city?

[Canidae]

Hello! Could I reserve the hunter spot?

[Lirriia]

I'd like to reserve the Revenant.

[sassy1085]

I like to be The Aware!...Please

[Kal]

@Canidae@Lirriia@sassy1085
Will update soon as I'm home~

Also are we playing in The City or a city?

@Penny

As it stands, a made-up metropolitan in Michigan. But I'm curious, what is The City?

[Penny]

By The City I mean the convention in the book where you can play in an unspecified city. Tropeville where it is always night, always raining and a hard rain is always about to fall...

[Zoey Boey]

Hello! I'm not familiar with the tabletop game but I suppose I would like to place a reserve on the Werewolf archetype. I really like the idea of one person per archetype. That's a very cool idea.

[Kal]

@Penny

Ah! I see. I quite like that! I actually have another made-up city that pretty much resembles that description, except instead of raining, it's almost always overcast and cold, and at times it snows. Funny enough, it never rains there lol.

@Zoey Boey

Hey! Welcome! No need to be familiar with it, it's very user-friendly. And, thanks! But I can't take credit for that, it's very much an Urban Shadows rule, haha.

[Zoey Boey]

@Kal That's good to hear! Well, either way, it was a good idea to put it on this forum. I probably would have picked several other roles before doing werewolf, but now I've left my comfort zone and am going to write about something new, and I'm more excited to try to get the role then I would have been, otherwise. Plus, it makes every character feel special and important.

...Just so I'm clear, there is only one person per archetype? As in, only one werewolf, only one hunter, only one vampire? It would be pretty embarassing if I misunderstood that but it's better I clarify now, lol. I mainly ask because there are 6 spots claimed, but there are 10 total players.

I guess I should hop on the discord server for faster communication

[Jabberwocky]

I'd like to rereserve the immortal, please.

[Vertigo]

Could I grab Tainted?

[Jeremor]

I'm going to grab the Dragon.

[Rekker]

I know you're currently full. I wanted to offer my interest as an alternate in case someone drops out.

[Kal]

I know you're currently full. I wanted to offer my interest as an alternate in case someone drops out.

@Rekker

Happy to have your interest~ Duly noted!

[Grey]

Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to make time for this one after all. Feel free to hand my reserve to whoever else. Good luck with the roleplay, everyone.

[Paradoxial]

I know you are full, but if a spot opens up message me! seems really fun and I would love to join in if someone drops out. Thanks anyways :)
