THE CONSORTIUM: HOWL OF THE YELLOW KING DISCIPLES


"Our city is damned. What ghastly things came shrieking in the night, I dare not say. They pounced from the gallows, swinging from burdened nooses. Mortal laws nor capital punishment bind them. They roam our streets as agents of the underworld. Constructs of the Black Cleric, the leader of the Yellow King Disciples. Their devilry has long held sway over Aegis Luna, shaping its once beautiful face into an unspeakable terror. We live in constant fear as our city slowly eats itself alive. The Consortium dwindles in number as the unnameable horrors continue to manifest into living nightmares . Death is our only salvation. I no longer wish to pursue a life full of pain and agony. Should you find this letter, please burn my body along with the rest of my family. We wish to rest in peace knowing that the Black Cleric won't ravage our vessels to do his bidding." - Former Consortium Head Chief Oscar Ulrich

Here's a little timeline that might help.

Timeline: Marks how many years since the monarchy ended.

Winter of 449 - Isaacs & Hartwell began their research into the supernatural.

Winter of 451 - The Mangled Ones first appeared in the Main District.

Spring of 452 - President Chambers calls for Martial Law. Isaacs & Hartwell create The Consortium and begin immediate enlistment. The president appoints Oscar Ulrich as Head Chief.

Summer of 452 - Main District is evacuated. President Chambers and his Cabinet are successfully extracted. The Mangled Ones grow in population. Other strange occurrences and monster sightings are beginning to rise in the inner shell district.

Spring of 453 - The entire main and inner shell districts are overrun. The first class of Consortium graduates are deployed out onto the field. 50 total.

Summer of 453 - Oscar Ulrich abandons post in an attempt to rescue his family from the inner shell district.

Fall of 453 - The famous clock tower monument in the Main District is crawling with Mangled Ones, forming a living wall around it. Large, unidentifiable monsters are beginning to appear in the inner shell districts. Oscar Ulrich is reported as KIA.

Summer of 454 - The military fortifies walls to contain the spread. There are still millions of Aegis Luna citizens inside the inner shell and main districts. Tom Reitz is appointed as new Head Chief of the Consortium. 12 Investigators from the 1st class are left. 40 new Investigators have graduated from the second class to fill in the ranks.

Winter of 454 - There are only 30 active Investigators left. Our story begins...

Can't wait to see what you come up with.

The picture is an inked cover for a comic book called the Herald, which features HP Lovecraft and Nikolai Tesla as a dynamic monster hunting duo. Funny thing is, I haven't read the comic yet, but it was inspired by this piece of artwork, which also inspired me to come up with this RP.

So, several more people have shown interest in joining.

Can I get a roll call to see who is planning on submitting a character sheet? I originally planned for a group of 4, but willing to add on a couple more people.

**Added my main character
*Added a map of Aegis Luna in the OP.

Anyone got any sources that I could snag a picture from? I can't find anything that I like so far.

All I did (and if I remember my browsing right, what Algorhythm might have done in one case) is just plug in "steampunk characters" into Google image search

@justTypical Thanks! I found one that I liked. I kept trying to look up complicated stuff like Steampunk art portrait and stuff.
