Not All Who Enter Here Will Survive.
There is a place few have tread, a place unknowable by mortal minds. It is a cold world of eternal night, where galaxies dot the sky like stars, where the thick, choking, humid air alone could drive a person mad. A place where the laws of nature appear inverted and incomprehensible monstrosities roam.
Those who have walked such lands have arrived either through impossible passageways, tunnels that descend deep into the earth, while others have enter this world through the Dreamlands, traversing the limitations of time and space by escaping the confines of the waking world.
Amidst the darkness lies a city in ruin, forgotten by time, rarely acknowledged by the sane minds of man. Within its deepest, darkest corners lie several thrones, each occupied by a different, crowned figure. It is to one of these creatures that you must petition if you ever hope to leave this place, but your success is not assured.
Few who enter this place ever leave, and those who remain do not survive. Many things can be lost in this place. Life. Sanity. Humanity. Those who escape the Immemorial City rarely retain all three.
This RP is looking for around five people.
This will not be a slice of life. This will not be a school RP. This will be the Bloodborne and Dark Souls of RP.
The purpose of this RP is to flesh out a world I have been building for some time, based on the works of Robert W. Chambers and H.P Lovecraft.
Look around you right now. What do you have on you? Think about what you have on you at work, when you go to sleep, when you go for a drive down the road. If you suddenly found yourself in a place of pitch black, lost in the cold and the dark, how would you fare? This is the situation your characters will find themselves in.
This is an RP focused on survival and character interaction. Confronting an enemy will likely get you killed.
RULES:
- Clearly, no godmodding. There are no gods here.
- Minimum post length of four or five sentences. This includes merely responding to another character.
- No Mary Sues. Even that will not save your character.
- The GM reserves the right to kill your character. The GM reserves the right to change the rules.
- Do not expect a happy ending.
- No supernatural races (Vampires, Werewolves, etc).
- If you want to explore the depths of human sexual depravity, do it in PM's. Firstly, those are the site rules, secondly, I don't have much of a stomach for that.
- Try to use appropriate grammar. Even if you need to edit the post. In which case, provide edit notes.
- If/when you die, new characters are acceptable.
