Cool, I figured it was best to ask now so it'd be on the first page.

Murder, Death, Explosions!

I'm really digging the nick-naming theme that's arisen

One by One

Could you explain, please, how the killer mechanic will work. If some one is a killer how do they commit the murders, through private message to the GM who'll post it?

A New Generation of Gods

Been up fifty-two hours, ignore any glaring spelling or grammar issues; I'll fix 'em tomorrow.

A New Generation of Gods

Billy:

Billy watched the other young boy address the group before walking into the woods. He watched until the boy was almost out of sight and then he ran to catch up, not noticing the branches catching his shirt as he laughed.

The woods broke way into a clearing where a waterfall crashed down tumultuous violence. It looked wondrous to Billy, as if the only thing that could stop it was Superman’s might. Billy ran towards the pool of water to see if there were any fishies swimming around like in the mall. There were tiny fish swimming beneath the surface but they didn’t look anything like the ones from the mall, it made him frown.

Nearby the boy who Billy followed was sitting atop a darkly coloured rock. Billy walked over to stand next to the rock, head tilted back to look up at the boy whose name he didn’t know. “Hey! I’m Billy! Cool rock, can I join you?”

Chris:

Chris had watched silently as the people around him reacted to the situation they found themselves sharing. They were all taking it in their own ways though too many of them were yelling for his liking.

“Yes.” That brought Chris’ head around to focus on the weird kid addressing the group. What the hell is he wearing cosplay for? The kid was the only one that didn’t seem disturbed by what was happening as he said, “Please follow me. It’s only a short ways from here.” Wait, not the only one… there was another kid laughing and running after him through the woods.

Chris stood up, taking another look around. I’m getting the fuck out of here. He thought about asking if anyone knew where they were but everyone seemed caught up in their own metaphysical struggles to cope with the situation so he just started walking into the woods. He headed off in the opposite direction than the kids.

The trees provided a nice break from the sun overhead as he broke through the line bordering the clearing. He paused briefly to fumble with his mp3 player, he wanted tunes, but it wouldn’t turn on. “Stupid battery,” he said to himself, “always dying.” He had no idea how long it would take him to get home and see Sarah.

He had only been walking for a couple minutes when he broke back through the treeline, hoping to find a road, and found himself…. back in the clearing. I must of got turned around. Chris walked through the clearing, ignoring the stragglers left behind and headed back out the same way he had started with.

Minutes later he was back to the clearing. Jesus, okay...different route. This time he turned around the way he had just emerged from in order to backtrack and find where he got turned around.

A few of minutes later he was back in the clearing.

“WHAT THE FUCK!” he shouted.

A New Generation of Gods

Just give me a heads up if what I post seems disingenuous to how you see it.

A New Generation of Gods

Just a heads up, I'm going to be describing the waterfall in terms that one wouldn't normally relate with a 'small' waterfall. But this is from a child's point of view.

One by One

Warren Gates

Name: Warren Gates
Age: 59
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Warren looks young for his age, his receding hairline and the tired lines around his eyes the only clues that he hasn’t yet found a price for immortality. Warren is never seen dressed in anything less than a three piece suit with contrasting tie. His daily routine of trimming his facial hair has done nothing to keep stray grey hairs out of his rustic whiskers.
Personality: Warren epitomizes big money. Born into the league of aristocracy Warren has never had a desire he couldn’t fill by throwing money at it. Unmindful of the ‘lesser’ peoples Warren easily rubs people the wrong way with his better-than-thou attitude.
Reason for being invited: Filthy rich oil baron.
Bio: Warren inherited the Warren & Co - though the Co is in title only - oil company when he was thirty-two. His father, who was never a paragon of fatherly love, died of a heart attack - his third - at the age of eighty-nine.
Other: Warren often travels with a personal butler regardless of the destination. (GM note - if wanted/needed I can make up a character sheet for said butler)

Jenkins

Name: Jenkins
Age: 60
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Jenkins was not blessed with his bosses youthful appearance. The lines of his face converging down around his chin, his head almost completely bald.
Personality: Loyal, subservient but with a dry charm.
Bio: Some names bring with them certain paths through life. Jenkins brought with it a life as a butler. It wasn’t a bad life, all things considered. Throughout his life he had flittered from boss to boss until finally coming to work for Warren ten years ago. The pay was incredible, he made more money than most professional athletes, but with the pay came a startling amount of verbal abuse.

A New Generation of Gods

Did the clearing open to the top of the waterfall or down by the pool it collects into?

I'm down, sounds reasonable while not spoon-feeding the characters.
