What the heck is THAT thing?!

[MissCapnCrunch]

In the dusty corners of an old moldy house
Live five quiet creatures as small as a mouse
They love to cause mischief and they love to play
Only coming and going when you shout MAHLIMAE

Come Out To Play Mahlimae!

---

Hey guys! This is my little idea I've been throwing back and forth in my head about some teenage friends who get into some trouble while exploring an abandoned house. They have all been friends for a very long time, and are from a small, country like town where everyone knows everything and everyone. While getting into a little bit of trouble one day, they come across 5 small creatures (aliens of sorts- that I will share with you later on). Each of these creatures (the mahlimae) have side effects that the character will suffer for throughout the role play. We can decide whether we want it to be serious, scary, or silly- or even a mix of both.

For the most part this will be a slice of life about friendships, character development, growing up, and having some fun while we're at it. I want a group that is dedicated and wanting to really explore their creative side.

I will most likely be putting this in casual for writing level, and will be ready to post an OOC when I have atleast 2-3 people interested. I will only be accepting 4 people in total (first come first serve) if there are more than 4 people interested I may be able to have my buttons pushed to have people play outside characters besides the 5 teenagers. This would be including but not limited to; siblings, parents, police officers, teachers, homeless person inside house, etc etc.

Let me know what you guys think, would love to hear feedback and ideas :)

@Brother Arcane

Thanks for your interest!
I'm stil developing the idea and would like help from the others in the group :)
But I can try to answer any questions you might have now~ :D

[Brother Arcane]

I'd be more than happy to help in any way I can and I'd like to know more about these little aliens and their effects on characters

@Brother Arcane

Thanks! :)

These creatures, or as they are called "mahlimae" are little aliens or monsters of a sort that like to grow in moldy, dusty, dirty places. Such as the little abandoned house our group of characters decided to break into and explore. I didn't want to spoil what they look like too much, but I have photos of them of each mahlimae that will be assigned to each character at the start of the role play.

I'm going to randomly assign each mahlimae a side effect, and then the players will choose at random at which one they'd like to have, based on appearance. Depending on what the group direction we'd like to take, these side effects can be as silly as; growing an inch shorter each day, or as serious and scary as your family members passing away one by one.

Things I've thought about but would like input on:
- Can they only be seen by the group?
- What are their purpose for being here?
- Do we have to find a way to get rid of them?

Hope that helped a little, I kind of jumped the gun on this idea as it popped in my head this morning.

I tend to ramble a lot too, so it doesn't help much :D

[Brother Arcane]

Lol it's fine seems fun I can't wait to start

[MissCapnCrunch]

@Brother Arcane

Just want maybe 1 or 2 more in the interest check and then I can make an OOC. There I'll have the character sheets, and the mahlimae for you to choose from (: from there, we can sort some things out as well ^^'

[Riptide]

Definitely interested! I'll not be able to respond in at least eight hours 'cause of school though.

[MissCapnCrunch]

I know everyone has different schedules, as long as you don't disappear on us too often!
