This is a game inspired by The Wolf Among Us, and American Gods.
The year is 2014. . . thousands of years ago, the deities worshiped by old cultures did not require worship to remain on Earth. In around 28 BC to 30 AD, their powers began to weaken at dramatically accelerated rates. . . Zeus became more like one of his subordinate gods, the least important gods became more like demigods. . . Finally, in the 400's AD, almost no power of the old gods from any culture around the world existed outside of important holy places and artifacts, that still gave people place to worship them. Wars, conflict and the spread of cultures eventually whittled down the power of deities to where they became to be thought of as non-entities. In their place, some areas still had connections to their gods, especially isolated cultures, or areas with more complicated theologies.
India still believes in thousands, some say millions of gods or more. China still has worshipers of gods from antiquity, despite their official stance on beliefs as being atheist. In other areas around the world, fairy tale folk, literal fairies, and literary characters from European culture, and otherwise, have taken to living among Humans. However, by the 20th century, deities, all deities, from any faith, save a very select few, cannot maintain a presence in the spiritual realm, and must abide on Earth. There is a mysterious, monstrous presence which is devouring everything outside our Earth dimension. They have dominated the Great Old Ones, and even Shup Nikkarath the Outer God, is their thrall to do their evil deeds.
The Fabled Peoples, and the Mythos, gods and demigods, are collaborating in order to survive in the Modern World. They are being hunted. Murders have started to shake the confidence of the Fabled and Mythos community (communities), and people are suspecting that there are spies working among both societies in order to have specified targets taken down and murdered. Each murder victim has been left with a mark that points to Cthulhu Mythos killings, either ritualistic murders, or just plain assassination.

You must be mature. Yes, Mary Poppins is living in New England, and is as perfectly and practically perfect in every way that she ever was. There are Disney characters co-existing with Video game characters and Deities of Mythological origins all living in close proximities to real world locations. This does not mean that this is a stupid role play where you can be an idiot. This doesn't mean you have to be a boring person with no sense of humor. You can have fun and joke about things, but try to keep most if not all comments like that in the OOC. Also, I'll be kind of stingy if you choose characters in the role play like Mary Poppins, even though she's there. Despite this having elements that are easy to muddy the waters with dumb antics in this, if I catch people goofing off and not treating this role play seriously, I will utilize my Two Handed, Legendary Quality Dragonbone Warhammer on you, and you won't like it.
