@Atrophy Looks good, get him on the character tab.

@HeySeuss Still never answered my question of what types of supernatural people are allowed. Like changelings, angels, demons, etc. How far could one go, I guess is the question.

@FantasyChic

Anything that has mythical basis. Avoid space aliens. If there is an issue with balance, I will let you know and provide constructive feedback.

Hey, I am interested in joining this roleplay and will have my character sheet up later today. However, I have a short question to ask: When you mentioned that Nemsemet proclaimed himself ruler of the city, was it done publicly to the humans or only among the supernatural lot?

Also, would a half-human character be acceptable or should I just stick to pure supernatural beings?

Thank you.

@MancerNecro

Nemsemet, so far, has only announced to other supernaturals, but is happy to kill off any mortals in his way. He is plotting his takeover, but he's being canny and trying to make sure that the humans aren't in a good position to resist. Taking over the supernatural part of the city and locking them down is part of that. He isn't into fighting two front wars.

Half-Human is totally good. Magic users tend to be mixes of various sorts with humans. Godknows-what and Grandma Mabel danced or something.

The Hidden People

Can I ask what supernatural types are allowed? I know your standard Vampire and Werewolves, but how far could one take this? I'm debating on a few different things.

And magic users are considered supernatural?

@FantasyChic

Yes, magic users are definitely a part of the Court system. Human magic users and Vampires tend to be the primary beneficiaries, as they pass most easily in human society and can make money.

@HeySeuss

Definitely want into this? Do you have a CS up in the OOC for it yet? I'll admit I was too lazy to look all the wat through. . . xD

@Alina13

There's a sheet template over on the sheet tab.

The Hidden People

Year for the RP is officially 1985.

Edit: I also think I'm done toying with Rusty's bio for now. I had to add in the part where he'd launch a huge crusade for the rights of the oppressed, except for drugs, free love and loud music.

Darned drugs, free love and loud music, getting in the way.

The Hidden People

Also, a note here on character sheets. No need to go massive. A few lines will do on most things, history can be down to a few paragraphs. Mine is a little over the top because I was feeling it, but don't feel required to match this stuff. Be comfortable and put out something you like.

The Hidden People

New bit on the character sheets --

Location of note: The idea is to help build the city with memorable landmarks. Aleranicus provided an example.

Location of Note: Joey's Diner on Main and 4th
Notable Person: Big Lou, the night shift cook
A fact everyone knows about this place: Big Lou is an ogre and a dealer for illicit vampire blood.

As to the abilities, feel free to go long or go short. We'll let you know if there is an issue.

Edit: Also, New Camden is a fictionalized Baltimore, so we aren't tied to real landmarks or anything.

The Hidden People

If it's anything like the last time I rolled with @HeySeuss I'd say a small sized city. 100k to 500k people (probably on the low end).

He could contradict me on this one though.

@Aleranicus

Baltimore is roughly 600k in the city, 2.8 million in the metro area and I am willing to hold to roughly those numbers. It's the 21st largest metro area in the country, big and very poor and desperate. Though in the 1980's, there are auto making jobs and steel mills still in operation. And John Calvin "Cal" Krieger, the huckster mayor of the place with a dream of harbor casinos and tourism appeal-- the guy that brought Nemsemet's bandaged bones to New Camden.

New Camden claims to be the birthplace of hair rock, not to mention the hair that goes with the rock, but LA took it over. The Camden Stallions packed up and left town, leaving the entire town bummed, but there are the Crows, their baseball team.

The Hidden People

Sounds like we have at least a consensus on the 80's over the 60's. Then again, it's a good midpoint between our current era and the Age of Aquarius. If it's more relatable and comfortable for people, I'm all for it.

Much thanks to @Atrophy for the suggestion. It looks like we're headed in that direction.

Blackshields: The Horus Heresy [Warhammer 30K]

Cthonians gonna headhunt. ;)

The Hidden People

Sounds good. I'm just waiting to see what the consensus is on what year we're setting this in, but it sounds like we're doing the 1980's based on excitement level.

<Snipped quote by HeySeuss>

Alas, I can't at this time. I will be up for messaging if need be, though!

@Aleranicus

No problem. I am going to set up multiple methods of communication. For streamlining, we should establish that no collab should be more than three people. More than that, and we just break down the posts into interaction. You're getting the co-GM slot back.
