We walk throughout our lives always trying to be comfortable with ourselves, don't we? We go through our daily routines every single day, earning our next little piece of the pie. Just to be comfortable. And to what ends? Happiness? Happiness is bliss, no? For we live in bliss ignorant to what we cannot see in the dark. And what is there darker than the abyss. No, we cannot see what lurks beyond inside the abyss. But the abyss is not out there somewhere writhing in blackness. No, it was within us. We just did not realize it yet.
So who are you really? Do you really know that person you see in the mirror? Do you really mean the words they say? Do you really think the thoughts they forn in their minds? Who are you really? You are just a normal everyday person right? So why? Why did they choose you?
We thought we were just normal everyday people. We walked throughout our lives always trying to be comfortable with ourselves. We tried to be comfortable in our own skins. But we never really were true to ourselves now were we? But we told ourselves things to make us feel better. We made up stories to tell ourselves that our lives were filled with happiness. All made up... Just like the ones they told us. And sold to us as lies.
Folktales. Myths, legends or just scary tales to frighten children. The things that go bump in the night. Ghosts, goblins, ghouls. Angels, demons, monsters. Vampires, werewolves and witches. They don't exist. At least we believed that. In our daily routines, we never once believed they exist. Well they do now. Because someone or better yet something believed they do.They always did exist. We were just lied to.
We were just normal people. But they chose us. They took us. They... they did things to us...
There is an abyss within us... oh my god... oh my god...
What did they do to us...?!

Hey~hey!!
Sooooo like I just wanna do some writing so why not do a low planning, high plotting, low entry, bare bones, but demanding RP! Cuz let's gooooooo!!!
K right. So the idea is simple. We are experiments that have just woken up from cryo-pods.
The lids open and we wake coughing, minds cloudy and feeling like crap. No idea who we are or what this place is, but once we look at each other, we see that we are all in onesie type uniforms but barefoot and head shaved. Yeah, we get a sense somethings a weeeeee bit off. Once we make eye contact with each other, wecan't help but get that 'on the tip of your tongue' feeling. Like you feel like you know the people you are staring at, you kinda' remember getting into the-cryo pods down here but other than that its all just an arms length beyond your memory.
We start off amnesiac and running. We will slowly remember things and with that we will remember our powers and ultimate purpose. We were supposed to be some kinda' supersoldiers but our powers come from SUPERNATURAL!! sources. So like think urban fantasy powers like witches, werewolves, ghosts, demons, etc but not superheroes.
CS will be barebones, but I will be asking you to fill in your charrie sheets as the RP goes, so yeah, like i said; demanding. Power level will ultimately be on a scale of 7/10 kinda like Batman but with SUPERNATURAL!! Powers. BUT!! We will start off running scared.
We will just be squishy regular people that never bothered to get into a regular gym routine. But the way it works is that the more memories we unlock, the more of our abilities we will unlock. So soon enough we will be cut, muscular and athletic. The powers we will start to remember and wield. But it comes at a price. You stare into the abyss and it stares right back into you; the more you wield your power, the more you become like what they did to you.
Rules:
- | This is closer to ADV cuz of how demanding the RP is. But basically about 300 words is usually standard size.
- | 18+ RP only. There is a lot of physical trauma and psychological scarring as well as horror elements tied to such nasty things. We will discuss Trigger Warnings and Boundaries in the OoC. It's meant to be dark but not disgusting mind you.
- | Since this is demanding and there is basically no CS to write up (you'll see) I'll be asking for writing samples. Just link them out or spoiler them k?
- | Post freq is 1-2 times/week or like every 7-10 days there will be a 'GM prompt' post to get us moving. 3rd person, past tense. OoC here on RPG. Speedposting limit: min 2 posts before you post again please.
- | There will be 'markers' when new abilities will be discovered and they will usually co-incide with a major memory break through. We will always discuss what comes up next OoC so no surprises.
- | Only accepting escapees as MCs, but NPCs may be bunny'd as we see fit. If you make a NPC you need to provide a small paragraph blurb with their desc. Even 3 sentences will do. Like I said; demanding.
- | If you ghost and do not say anything for 7 days, YOUR CHARRIE IS GUNNA GET BUNNY'D!! ...and they might be written out with extreme prejudice is you ghost for 2 weeks lol
- | This is demanding so I am expecting creative people. We will be building off of each other's ideas. And there is only going to be barebones in terms of Lore. I will provide the skeleton for the RP but we will provide the filler as we go; low planning, high plotting. I will be updating a Lore page as we go.
So why do I post this here and not ADV/LIT? Cuz its not really that demanding post wise, so its more Casual but the expectations of 'journaling' your CS into existence is demanding and thus closer to ADV.
As soon as we get 3 interests WITH linked posts/samples. I will do up the OoC. Capping at 5 RPers.
