Geonet: Battle for the Megacity

The Council of Night

DM or discussing here, I can go either way.

The Council of Night

@Martian

I would be good with playing an ancient Mummy that is on the council. Even funding the council with varies investments.

I believe someone wanted to play Nyarlathotep, so my character could be connected to them somehow.

I could also have a second character that is the leader of some anicnet Martian or interdimensional race of aliens on the council.

@Eviledd1984

That would be me, the person who wants to play Nyarlathotep. Just let me know what kind of ideas you've got and maybe we can brainstorm something.

The Council of Night

@Havoccultist
I’m cool with having Nyarlathotep be a representative for the other Elder beings, basically their small window into what is going on on Earth. Also I’m totally down for you playing a weaker Avatar as it would mean that you are closer in power scale to the other members of the Council of Night.

@shagranoz
It will be interesting to have a human advocate on the Council. Also I have not read any of the Dresden Files, though it is on my ever increasing list of books to get around to reading.

@WhiteAngel25
So, you’ve convinced me, Kitsunes are monsters. So I was thinking perhaps we tone down the whole time and space bending, and focus more on the madness inducing and feeding on human’s energy. Also if you want, you could make your character the representative for all Yokai, as no one else seems to want to play a Yokai.

@Sailorsadie
I’ve only ever played a Skinwalker once before, and the RP didn’t last long. So I’m really interested to see your take on it.

@Eviledd1984
While having a character like Jason Voorhees would be interesting, I have to ask why he would care about being on the Council of Night? Like Jason mostly just goes about killing people without saying a world, so I doubt he cares much for the politics of all monsters.

However, if you just want to keep the undead serial killer angle, but drop Jason’s personality, you could have someone, maybe Freddy Krueger like, who has a big personality and maybe runs something like a serial killer organization. Like if all the various supernatural serial killers from movies formed a union, you would be head of the union.

Or if you want to try your other two ideas, we could do that. Like I said earlier, a mummy would be perfectly fine as the original premise for this RP was the classic monsters in modern day. I was also hoping someone would play an alien, hence why I added the sci-fi tag to the thread. So the Thing could work, if we tweak it a little. Perhaps they are on the Council waiting until there is a way to get off Earth. Or maybe it’s just settled into a feeding pattern and is on the Council just to maintain its share of the human stock.

Hopefully that makes sense to you.

@Martian

On that last note, I hope someone does pick an alien cause I'd love to see their interaction with ye olde eldritch messenger boy.

Hearts Astray in Worlds of Darkness (Kingdom Hearts -esque)

@Olive Fontaine
Okay, so I've had a bit of a think and I've decided to bow out from this. I thought I had a strong character idea to begin with, but upon further review it just isn't clicking for me, and more than that I have realized that it isn't what I actually want to write. I got a tad vague there I know, but that's the best way I can describe it. Anyway, I wish you the best of luck with this roleplay!

Here's another thread I'd like to have removed: roleplayerguild.com/posts/5464044

Hearts Astray in Worlds of Darkness (Kingdom Hearts -esque)

Will see about getting a sheet up later. Too tired for it tonight unfortunately.

The Council of Night

I have an addition to that Nyarlathotep idea. You know how he's a messenger for the Outer Gods, the whole heart and soul thing aside? Well I was thinking that he could be a representative or agent of sorts for the eldritch community as a whole in this RP. Like their senator on the Council so to speak. Furthermore, if you wanted to maintain his cosmic nature but keep the power levels on the lower end of the scale, I could also just say that he goes about his business on Earth or wherever we are using one of his less powerful avatars. That way he can not only have weaknesses, say to things like Elder Signs if you want to bring those into the mix, but also abide by a code of conduct laid out by Dracula possibly. We could also say that the stars aren't right so he has to send tiny fragments or avatars of himself, thus explaining his limited power.

I mean it's what he does in Mythos canon already anyways, so I could see that working here as well. But I can write him just as easily without the above idea as I can with it. Either way is fine by me. Just thought I'd spitball some ways to make that category of creature work while also giving potential in-universe reasoning for it.

The Shadow over Old Caledon - Open for Applications

Hmm. Due to other commitments I have at the moment, I don't think I'll be joining this RP. Best of luck with it though.

The Council of Night

@Havoccultist
I actually did read the Lovecraft wiki pages for all three characters you had mentioned, just to make sure they were who I was thinking of. As for Hastur, from what I understand about him I don't think he's a god fit for this. However, that is not to say that he won't be in this RP, as (SPOILERS) I was planning some Lovecraft related stuff for this RP.

So I would say either go with the toned down Nyarlathotep or the original eldritch being you mentioned.

@Martian

Will do.
