A Lightweight Multiversal Survival Horror





Welcome!

Here's a very simple, hopefully very fun premise.

Make a character, based on any existing universe - fictional or factual - such as video games, movies, comics, ya know, the whole works. Even pick a pre-made character from those universes, if that's your fancy. All that I'll ask is that you scale down any OMFG powers accordingly, to prevent characters such as Superman from breaking the game.

And then you look at the map, plant them down at one of the locations, and then attempt to survive an unforgiving Nightmare Realm that is full of horrors, borders on trippy and thrives on creepiness!

DayZ on steroids, is another way of looking at this, I guess.

If the characters dig deep enough (see Places of Interest for key investigating areas!), they may well find out where they are, and why they have been brought there.

I have a system in place that will periodically send packs of monstrous NPCs after the various characters... just to keep things fresh and dramatic :D

So yeah, here's a generic apocalyptic sandbox designed for maximum fun and freedom. Read on for more info (it's not as long as it looks!)

Hmm... if I wait for three more characters to get added, then I could try to snag the number five. I love the number five, I'm going to try and see if I can get Arth number five.

That said, this is rather pretty. I mean, horrific no doubt, but I think this'll be fun, and I tend to be one who shy's away from horror. Mostly due to the fact that my mind is very easily able to make mundane terrifying but now I'm digressing.

To summarize, I look forward to this, and if I need to make my character sheet fancier before putting it up here or something, I'm going to wait so that I can get Arth number five, because five is my favorite number.

@neogreggory There was a Half-Life 1 mod called "They Hunger" - which, incidentally, I didn't steal the name from on purpose, and only realised a day or so after what my subconscious had been up to! Truth be told, the original name of this RP was "They Come For You", but I couldn't stop giggling at it.

Anyway, They Hunger was about a zombie apocalypse. Scary as fuck. 10 year old Frengo found the only way he could cope with the soul crushing atmosphere, and the zombies, was to use a cheat that let him spawn loads of grunts from the original Half-Life as his own personal bodyguards... which is what's inspired the direction I'm taking with my character lol.

But yeah anyway, I'm digressing without just cause, so back to what you said:

Wait as long as you think you need to. I might even arrange a chance encounter for your character that involves Lady Luck's... nightmare state :D

And yeah, this will be fantastic. It can't fail. I've run all the simulations, it's a win-win. As for your character sheet, chuck it in the OOC and await for approval - or, if it's the same one you dropped in the IC, I'm happy to review it now if you're happy with it.

EDIT: Er, I could just give you #5? It doesn't really matter who gets what number at the end of the day, lol.

@Frengo I will fiddle with my character sheet, mostly because as it is that Silent Hills sheet is outclassing mine and I want to have a go at making mine fancier, and if you'd be willing to just give me number five then I will write up the changes right now. Well, some music to get my mind in the mood, then right now.

EDIT: Also, fifth post in the OOC. :P

Tell me about it, I'm about to add 534095340540953495 words to mine.

Let the Character Sheet arms race begin!

And yeah, #5 is all yours :D

So this isn't just zombie based? It'll be like skelemans and other stuff?

That's correct. Vampires, werewolves, faceless horrors from the abyss, demons, inter-dimensional tentacles - it's your average nightmare wonderland.

Yea, I could remake my CS, but I'm a bit lazy and don't really know what to add...I'll add something though.

Alright, I'll move my Jap over to the CS tab in a bit after I've composed something of a Roman CS.

Natalie Heartwarm


Origin: Old Kingdom/Ancelstierre


Equipment:
  • Main Weapon: Dagger
  • Secondary Weapon: Determination!
  • Inventory:
    • Abhorsen robes (blue with a design of silver keys)
    • Abhorsen chainmail (doesn't constrain)
    • Bounding Mogget Ring (becomes a hoop when being attacked by a powerful undead creature, which can be put around its neck, restraining it to a cat form)


Powers and Skills:
  • Can sense death, whether it be true death or undeath.
  • When out of options, Natalie goes berserk, meaning that she's stronger, more durable, has higher endurance, and faster.
  • Knowledge of Charter Magic, which is useless in this land, unless there are some Charter Stones around (large stones found in the Old Kingdom)


Back Story/Bio: Natalie is the second oldest daughter of Sabriel the Abhorsen and King Touchstone. She was born and raised in the Old Kingdom, preferring the Abhorsen's house over the royal Castle. When she was 19, her mother died, leaving her to be Abhorsen. A year later, when she turned 20, she woke up on an odd bridge of sorts, in her Abhorsen robes and chainmail.

Starting Location: Marlon's Crossing

Quick question, in the book series my character is from, all Abhorsens have the ability to have their spirit leave their body and enter the realm of death. I was wondering if that was a bit OP, or if I can put that on my CS.
