[OOC] In Hunting Beasts and Monsters

[Savo]

<Snipped quote by Spriggs27>

Strangely, I'm not entirely opposed to this idea.

*Loads Bloody Mary with silver bullets just to play a psychopathic prank.*

Double entendre ftw.

@Bishop

If my opinion counts as anything, I agree with you. But I also think that overall, the fact Sprigg's character knows she's in a church doesn't really matter. While it's certainly an unusual conclusion given the evidence, more so since she happens to be right, it ultimately doesn't really improve the situation just because she happens to know. It's a very minor that thing, assuming we all don't get killed here and now, we're all bound to figure out on our own once we're out of the basement and have some concept of what a church is.

You got half the answer right, as a consolation prize, I won't have Maria stick your characters dry like a milk shake.

But enough games, now is the time for the big reveal. Maria is actually Elizabeth Bathory (look at her name, gosh) a woman that went famous in history as pretty much Dracula distaff counterpart. And yes, she's prime Yuri material, since in life she only ever killed young virgin girls and bathed in their blood. I'll get an illustrative presentation later.

@Zeroth

To answer your question long ago, no, Kenji did not kill the man. Instead, he severed his neck just enough to let him drown in his own blood while he twitches along the floor in unbearable but still conscious pain.

[Lugubrious]

Are we going to insert sexual fanfiction into our bloody, grim, disease-ridden monster-infested, nightmarish existential crisis story? Doesn't that seem about out as place as a My Little Pony flash game as the pre-eldritch-abomination miniboss in Bloodborne's Nightmare Frontier?

I have never heard of this Bathory.

Seems fine by me. You can never have too much Yuri.

@Lugubrious

It's a crazy world Lugu. Sometimes people look for whatever pleasure and light they can find, especially in these dark times. Makes it all the sweeter to twist it into a vile corruption of what it ought to be, like sexualized My Little Pony flashgames. Truly the most horrific thing is that this world is not only filled with darkness, but that it was once had light.

@Lucius Cypher I'm a guy.

I stopped caring about what she was when you told us to re-read your cs, I'm never listening to you again KoL.

@Lucius Cypher

Well to be honest, there are really a couple reasons in my opinion of Sinthe realizing where they are and feel Like Donny should be in the same Boat as Sinthe for this.

1: Sinthe and Donny were in the last Hunters roleplay and I'm just considering this as another world they've been put into, or like a NG+ but with different people, or as Donny and Sinthe being taken to another dimesion where things are nearly the same, it's the reason to why he's felt like he's been through this already, he won't exactly remember everything, but get blurred thoughts about things and be more careful.

2: I'm just picking up on the surroundings, for all we know they could actually be in a dungeon, basement or a fucking cellar. And I'm sorry @Bishop, but if this gets on your nerves then sadly your gonna get more angry at me in the rp later on if I start figuring out things a little simply.

[Lucius Cypher]

Also it's not as if bloody, grim, disease-ridden monster-infested, nightmarish existential crisis story is not someone's sexual fanfiction anyways. Just because there's love and lesbians doesn't mean it's all sunshine and rainbows. Sex and romance goes hand-and-hand with violence and horror. I like the option of being able to indulge in both (At the same time).

So everyone is dead then.

Huh.

Somehow, I feel that letting the poor fellow die, would be more merciful, but I can't expect that of you, can I?

@Lugubrious

What? How come sexual related (as long as it's within the Guild's lines) be any wrong on a dark fantasy world? Ain't that a far too prudish train of thought?

@ClocktowerEchos

I don't blame you, Bathory is kind of a shady figure. And yes, her story is kinky, but true, she's one of the most prolific serial killers in history.

Anyway, here's the video I mentioned, that's where I get the inspiration whenever I do a character based on Bathory:

@KoL

Since this is either purgatory or actual hell the players have gone to, there must be creatures hellbent on acting in certain ways... kinky shadows of lust performing... unsavory things on some of the virgins of the village before devouring them whole xP

At any rate, our first creature we may face is probably going to either be a spider thing of some sort or a monstrosity wielding a violin. Either way, would recommend staying at range; the insides of that thing do not look pretty.

[Lucius Cypher]

If it's the former, GG surrender at 20. If it's the latter, than Donny totally has this battle in the bag.

@KoL

I must have the wrong idea about the World of Wasted Dreams. Based on what I read about it so far and the comparison so far, I assumed (no doubt my first mistake) that we were in a world where everything is trying to kill us, madness and disease are as rampant as water and dust, and so forth.

Prudish - having or revealing a tendency to be easily shocked by matters relating to sex or nudity; excessively concerned with sexual propriety.

dictionary

Yeah, that's me all over. I just thought it might be unrealistic in this unending, inexplicable, nightmarish miasma of death, rot, and torment that several characters might fall in love at first sight, dash passionately past the rat monsters and tentacle fiends, and nip off to the a nice graveyard for sexytimes.

@KoL@TheWindelI hath made Hayden into a girl. Resubmitting for approval

Hayden Anderson

Hayden

"I don't know why I'm here, it seems like a hell for the guilty.
I swear, I'm innocent, I don't know why I'm here too.

Name:

Hayden Amadilia

Gender:

Female

Age:

31

Appearance:

Hayden is a soft-spoken, fair skinned woman standing at 5 foot 7 inches, her chocolate hair always combed and washed to a shine to counter the darkness of her dark beige eyes. She by no means the fast or strongest (although she was the high school track star at one short point), but her athletic enough to get herself out of trouble. Don't ask her to stay in a constant fight though, Hayden's stamina won't keep up.

In the Dream, Hayden wears a dark blue tunic and sturdy brown pants, covered in leather armor pieces that have been boiled and hardened. Beautiful engravings and leatherwork decorate the armor pieces. A shawl and a hood have been included in her outfit.

Appearance

Magic:

Hayden has innate Blood magic abilities, most often used to force an enemy to stay put by forcing blood down into the feet at a speed which can cause a great amount of pain. She seems also be able to physically draw out blood with her strikes and increase her damage as even a small blade can scar a bloody wound in her hands.

Weapons:

Serrated Blood - A rather gruesome weapon for a less refined age; this one-handed cleaver is Hayden's primary weapon against the monsters of the Dream. Its a straight blade with a surprisingly comfortable wooden handle with one edge being a simple sharp edge and the other a sawtooth serrated edge. Its advisable for anyone concerned about their health or well being to not be hit by neither edge.

Appearance

Oathkeeper - A beautifully crafted pistol carried by the sworn protectors of important nobles and even royalty. By tradition, uses have to cut their hand and let the blood cover the barrel of the weapon as a sign of unwavering loyalty to their liege. It is said that this practice also gives the weapon better accuracy when using blood bullets

Appearance

Wardenshot - An interesting variation of a pistol which doesn't fire bullets, but more like literal chain-shots that have a nasty claw grabber on the end. The chain can then be pulled back like a grappeling gun with the use of a circular mechanism on the weapon. It was said that this weapon was a favorite of thief-catchers and guards who'd bury the serrated claw into their target to catch them for even more gruesome torture.

Appearance

Personality:

Hayden has a rather cynical outlook on this new predicament but in all remains a fairly jovial and amicable person. She has an air of innocence around her with a child-like curiousity of her rather morbid surroundings. She's also a very forgetful person who can and will mix up facts, names and locations. She doesn't even remember his past outside of glimpses and flashbacks but assures herself she had a very enjoyable, stable job and a family. While she won't exactly get lost, its best not to trust her navigation abilities unless you want to take a very scenic route.

She's also surprisingly modest and humble but is hung over by self-doubt and a more morbid curiosity of the world. Unaffected by the violence and gruesome nature of her surroundings, she questions what she actually was before coming here but will cover her own tracks and insist her innocence on her actions in gatherings.

Bio:

Hayden doesn't know what she was before entering the Wasted Dreams. She remembers being rushed to the hospital after a truck plowed into the police car she was in and something about being convicted of murder but... she was innocent? She had to be, she knows wouldn't murder in cold blood. Yeah, she was an entertainer of sorts? She had a really pretty dress and had a good voice and she remembers some magic tricks. Yeah, she must have been a magician or something, not the kind who'd kill people. Yeah... she was innocent... she had to be...

@Lugubrious

All we need now is a Neck Romancer in that graveyard and everything will be complete.

[Lucius Cypher]

You say that as if there can only be madness, death, and violence in this world @Lugubrious. We're all still human after all, with all their vices. If anything the bleak darkness is all the more reasons to have looser morals; after all there's no time to set up a classical romance. Instead of wallowing in despair, go out with a bang. At least that's what I hope to do.

[Lugubrious]

Right then, I'll simply accept this as a fundamentally different world than Bloodborne's, which is to be expected really. The central premise of the Souls series is that the world and everything it in it is doomed to entropy, which I suppose doesn't exactly make for a thrilling narrative. Go ahead with your love stories if it pleases you, I only ever meant to ask what I thought was a reasonable question; just don't expect my character to drop her morals and clothes at the first sight of a pretty face in affirmation of the human spirit.
