The City of the Dead - Post Apocalyptic Medieval Fantasy

Indeed....



These are the final moments of Veldrick, city ridden with plague. A curse upon the kingdom, for which no origin is known. Perchance it was King Haran's heresy that invoked the wrath of the Elder Gods upon him and his royal court, or perhaps...it was simply the end of days. It may never be known, but what is...is that Veldrick lies rotting from the inside. The plague spread to all, and nary a soul was spared....

Except...for you...



Thou art newly dead....

Before the plague, the ground took your body. Who were you once in life? Does it even matter? Nay, what matters now is that you live, yet again....but for what reason?

That remains to be seen....

So arise, newly dead, rise from your grave, and join Veldrick in its final moments....as the call of the haunted welcomes you to....

So welcome all to The City of the Dead, a freeform dark fantasy RP heavily inspired by Dark Souls (as if that wasn't obvious enough). You play the role of a 'newly dead', a person who had died long before the plague ravaged the city, and for some odd reason, you are alive once more. It is up to you to find out why your home fell to this terrible disease, and to stop it from spreading. Along the way, you will encounter terrible monsters and even a few boss fights, cause it wouldn't be a Souls inspired RP without epic and gruelling boss fights. Furthermore, there will be NPCs generated by me that may, or may not, give you valuable information. That said, you are free to explore this world, but beware. You'll never know what's lurking behind the corner.

That's right, as GM, I have the power to conjure forth unspeakable evils and random events that will test your mettle. These events will appear at random too, so be on your toes.

That said, welcome players, and Prepare to Die...again! Get it? Cause you're already dead and uh.... I'll see myself out. <.<

To begin, just post a picture of your character along with your name and a short intro in the IC. Just make sure you include being resurrected. Oh and one more thing! I know this is freeform, but be reasonable, you're not gonna be some big, hulking brute who can crush heads like the Mountain. The point of this game is survival and exploration of a world gone to shit, not your power fantasy.

Anywho, enjoy fellas! ^_^

Mr. Felton looked up from the few assignments he was grading, rubbing his eyes for a moment before answering with a friendly smile, "Yes, Miss Saint Claire. What is it you needed to know?"

But before Natalia could tell him, it seemed another new student was needing his help. Amelia was her name if he remebered correctly. It was surprising to him how Natalia let her speak first, but he would admit it was also very generous. He listened to Amelia's request, but as he did, his brow furrowed with concern. "Oh man... Well you see, Amelia, I don't mean to be rude to you and your friend. In fact, I would love to share all that I know about my craft with you two, but..." He sighed. "With my wife and I moving into our new home here and a baby on the way, that might be a tough one. I'll see if I can make some room in my schedule however and get back to you. Again, I'm sorry if this may be an issue."

Meanwhile, Harley continued to stare down Madison. She didn't buy that sweet and innocent look one bit. It was the same shit the popular girls, the cheerleaders and the rodeo queens used to hook those hunky football boys...and even some teachers.

She squared her shoulders, leaning in closer with a scowl, "Ha!
You? Sweet? Darlin' don't make laugh! You're like a damn barbie doll, real good lookin', but you ain't got no heart! And another thing, you best not be lookin' to fool around with the teacher. In case you haven't noticed, you're way outta his league, and you sleepin' with him is gonna get him buried up to his eyes in all kinds of shit!" A sharp finger the cowgirl pointed at her face like a loaded six gun. "So y'all best lay off him, or God willin', I'll come lookin' for you!"

And with that, she pulled her finger away, marching off with a face full of anger. Thankfully, it went away once she was beside Natalia. She smiled, hanging her arm around the girl's shoulder, "Hey there amigo!
What class you got next?"

The Party

"Mei!" Anton wrapped his arms around the woman. Happy indeed was he to see his boss and friend very much alive. The girl Petra hugged her as well, and it became evident how short and how much younger she was compared to the Chinese Woman. "We thought you were dead!"

"Guys, please!" Mei laughed. "It will take a hell of alot more than hunters to bring me down! I'm glad to see you two are safe. I just....wish I could say the same for Judah..." Her smile slowly contorted into a mournful grimace. "And the other three... Which reminds me, did you call Marcus?"

"Yeah, he should be on his way." Anton answered. "But I gotta ask, boss, what's with the human? Is she an h'ors durve?" He looked over his shades at Celeste, a hungry look in his glistening amber eyes.

Mei replied sternly, placing an arm in front of Celeste, "She is our guest, Anton, so don't even think of nibbling on her!"

"Our guest?" Said Petra. "Well if you say so, boss, but why is she here?"

"Look..." Mei sighed. "It's a long story. I'll explain everything once we get inside...of course..." She grumbled ducking her head. "I forgot Nero had the fucking key."

None too soon did the words leave her mouth however did their savior arrive. Nero must've been driving like a bat out of Hell to get here, seeing how his GT skidded into the dirt coming to a halt.

"Well, well. Looks like the gang's all here!" Nero got out of his car and walked up to them. Even in the dark, Mei could see the rips and tears in his fine black suit. Poor bastard, he was trying to get out of Hell it seemed.

"Sorry I'm late, but I had to excuse myself from Alice in Fucking Wonderland. Where's Marky?"

"On his way." Mei curtly returned. "We're waiting on you to open the door, in case you haven't noticed."

"Yeah, yeah, I'm on it." He grabbed the house key out of his pocket, but before he opened the door, Nero noticed their little guest for the evening, the bitch he suspected of spying on him. He looked at Celeste then back to Mei. "Are you fuckin' kidding me?"

"Look, just open the damn door already!" Mei huffed.

Nero nodded, albeit reluctantly, and opened the door, gesturing to Mei. "After you."

Harley decided she would hang around and wait on her camera buddy before going to her next class, plus she too wanted to ask Mr. Felton if he had any pro tips for a young, budding photographer like herself.

She sat leaning in her chair, fiddling around with the D500 Nat let her borrow, every once in a while looking up at Mr. Felton's desk. That's when she noticed that damn pink haired whore up to no good. That bitch was just itching for an old fashion Texas beatdown courtesy of the cowgirl, especially for all those mean looks she was giving her new buddy.

Eventually...Harley done had it. Quietly she set her camera down and got up, adjusting her hat and looking the no good hussy straight in the eyes, like she was Clint Eastwood in For a Few Dollars More.

"Hey." Her tone was stern, even moreso with that Texas drawl of hers. "Y'all got a problem with my friend there, missy? Cause I sure think you do."

The Party

@Olira@Shrivvle@Sirkaithethird

Great, more weirdos, Nero thought, enough to make a pureblooded vampire look normal. He sighed gruffly shoving his phone back into the pocket of his coat, next to his holstered Beretta of all things, chewing on the end of his cigarillo, trying his damndest at this point not to blow a fuse...as hard as that was at this point.

None too fazed was he by the tall ass bitch or her walking tin can, and he more or less expected the unexpected at this point, so no surprise to a Civil War soldier just popping in.

"For fuck sakes." He muttered flicking his cig away.

"Look Hilda or whatever the fuck your name is, I ain't got time for whatever you're offering, alright. I gotta get back to my coven and make sure they're still kickin'. In case you haven't noticed earlier, my boss and I nearly got whacked by a motherfucking death squad, so unless the only thing you're offering is blood, drugs or pussy, I ain't listening!"

And with that he stormed off to the exit of the house, already fuming under the collar.

"And to the rest of you weird ass motherfuckers who just showed up, welcome to the party! Now goodnight and I hope you burn in Hell!"

And out the door he went, across the driveway to his car.


He got in and slammed the door, falling back into his seat with a sigh...of relief, then he called Mei.

"Yo Mei, I'm on my way."

The Party

@Luna Amore

The Ferarri veered off down a dirt path, cutting deep into the black pine forest. The car soon came to a screeching halt throwing dirt and gravel everywhere. "Well, here we are." Mei uttered unfastening her seatbelt and getting out. "Home, sweet home..."



There was nothing to the place at all. In fact, it just looked like, or rather was, some old, rundown cabin, like a movie set for a cheap 80s slasher flick. You were practically expecting a hulking behemoth in a creepy mask to be stalking around, but the only two out here were Mei....and her unfortunate human guest. Or so it seemed as another vehicle pulled up.



With its headlights glowing in the thin mist of the woods, the black Impala crept up to the cabin. The doors open and two figures emerged, one a male, the other, female.





"Anton! Petra!" Happily Mei ran up to them, giving both a warm hug.

Veldrick.... Once upon a time, the kingdom flourished with life, but now the streets are hollow, houses are empty, and the King's throne...lies vacant. A terrible plague swept through the city, killing all it had touched. None were safe from it, rich or poor, noble or peasant. All had fallen prey to its deadly touch, but somehow, you survived. How? Oh, that's simple.



You were dead, long before the plague had ever struck. For many years, your body lied in the cold, cold ground, withering away into nothing, but now, by some strange coincidence, you live again, and it is as if the worms nor the rot had ravaged your mortal shell...



And so you venture out, from your grave, from your sepulchur, you leave the land of the dead and return to your home, but all that you find...are but ashes of your cherished memories, and a world....that has turned for the worse.



Now you must survive this nightmare from which there is no awaking and find answers to the many questions. Why are you alive? Who or what brought this plague upon the city? And...is there any hope left at all?



But beware, for though you may think, you are not alone in this cruel and unforgiving world. There are things out there, most unnatural and indeed most terrifying, and they hunger...for your soul.

Dare you to enter the City of the Dead?

The Party

@Olira

While waiting for Mei to pick up, Nero paced the floor.

"Nero Castigione, and no, my parents didn't teach me any manners, on account of them being burned at the stake when I was two. Now fuck off, doll!"

The phone rang for a few minutes. Nothing. Nero was getting impatient.

@Luna Amore

Mei glanced down at her phone buzzing in the cubby hold. She picked it up, already aware of who was calling.

"Nero."

"The one and only." Nero answered with a dry chuckle.

Mei smirked, "Okay smartass. How is everything? Are you alright?"

"I'm a little dinged up...and surrounded by weirdos. You at the hideout?"

"Not yet, but I'm getting there. Has Anton contacted you any?"

"No, but I figured he'd call you first."

"Shit..." Mei sighed irritably. "Well look, I'll get a hold of him and the rest. You just get back to the hideout in one piece, okay? Got it?" She sounded genuinely concerned, and why not? Nero, the coven, they were more to her than just loyal subjects.

"Yeah, sure thing boss. And Mei?"

"Yeah?"

"You watch yourself out there. There's some bad shit going down, and I think it has to do with more than just the Malkavians."

Mei was quiet for a moment, her brow wrinkled with a grim feeling of anxiety. Softly she answered, a tad choked up, "Y-yeah...you might be right. I'll see you back at the hideout. Be safe."

She hung up the phone and kept driving.
