Camp Duskend

This roleplay is currently ACCEPTING



Interest Check | Character Bin

Summer camp! A wonderful experience that many children in America partake in. Here, it's possible to find lifelong friends, everlasting memories and experience nature like never before. Summer camp is a place where people can get away from their daily problems and simply have fun! You can become a different person at camp, after all, most people don't know the previous you.

So you come to camp, whether you are returning or a newcomer, it doesn't matter! Some of you are excited, and maybe some of you are dreading this. Whatever the case, there's some sort of anticipation building up within you about spending the next few weeks here. What's not to look forward to? There are all of the delicious meals, roasting marshmallows in the campfire, the sleepover-esque nights, the crystalline lake, making new friends...

At least, that's what was supposed to happen.

Every summer camp has their own horror story. Maybe it's something people whisper to each other in their cabins, trying to spook each other before going to sleep, maybe it's something that everyone squeals over the campfire chats. Whatever the case, it's all usually just a thrilling story to be scared over, nothing too major. Our camp has those stories too. Supposedly, they found a body underneath one of the cabins, and you can still hear it crying. What about that story about the door that keeps opening, no matter how many times you shut it? Of course, everyone just nervously laughs it off, it's only a story.

What are you going to do when you're within that horror story? You're in the middle of nowhere, there's no place to run. When the fun summer camp experience goes awry, you'll become part of the horror story retold by generations to strike fear in people's hearts.

RULES

• All Guild rules apply, of course
• Swearing is allowed, but please keep it in moderation.
• This is high casual roleplay. At the bare minimum, please post two paragraphs. Much more is preferred! That being said, quality over quantity, don’t add random things just to add length.
• Please use proper grammar! I'm not a grammar nazi, but I do like to be able to read things without being bothered by the grammar. You don't have to make things perfect, and you don't have to obsessively proof read, but try your best!
• Don’t create a Mary Sue or a Marty Stu. Nobody is perfect, people must have flaws.
• Use common sense and courtesy! We’re all friends here. Be polite, and no fights in the OOC. Don't put anything here that you wouldn't want your grandmother to see.
• Listen to what the GM says! I am your benevolent goddess… In this roleplay, at least.
• As of right now, there is a character limit of three characters. This may be subject to change.
• Let me know if you can’t post for a while, or if you’re dropping, or anything of that nature. I won’t bite your head off, I promise.
• You have to post in the OOC at least once in a while. It's no fun to roleplay with someone you barely know. Even if it's just to say "I'm ALIIIIVE", post in the OOC.
• Have fun! This is a requirement. Seriously, why roleplay if you’re not having fun?

Character Information
For your character sheet, please be detailed! Especially in the personality section, don’t just list off adjectives. Go into detail. Also, it would be much appreciated if you could underline, bolden, or do something to the CS skeleton to make it easier to read. You can add more to the CS skeleton if you’d like, but be sure to have the ones listed here!

If you think that your character could be the murderer, please PM me and I will consider it!

Once your character has been accepted, post it to the Character Bin. The character bin is not a place to apply for this roleplay, it is a place for accepted characters ONLY.

Any idea of when the OOC will be up?

I'm working on it, but I'm not sure. Between going through a writer's block, getting ready for school, applying for colleges and savoring my last few days before school, it might be a bit slow, unfortunately.

I just wish that I'm able to break out of my block, because I do have a lot of free time. I'm just not able to form words as well as I would like.

Just separate yerself brogirl from the characters and roleplay. It'll be a lot easier to be ruthless that way (and it might help vent some real world frustration, just don't make that the focus of being ruthless otherwise you'll get a lot of angry RPers. :P ) And you need to! D:<

I don't like being ruthless! And I don't like scary things D:

On a separate note, I want to run another RP, but I don't know if I can handle two. And I really really really want to do a certain genre ish thing but it's nobody else is doing it D: another problem is that I don't know exactly what I want to do, but I wanna do it!

Summer Camp: A Survival Horror Mystery Roleplay

Ultimate Camp Resource is a good site, I used it a lot when I was working.

I guess if you guys don't want to use the original plan I had for the camp, we don't have to...

Sixsmith said
Lol, Miso, you just need to be ruthless with these things. XDIt's good if you detach yourself. Watch Cabin in the Woods because that's the vibe I'm getting from the RP. :P Just be Sigourney Weaver.

I'm not ruthless though D:

And no. I dun wanna.

Sixsmith said
Why you do dis to meh?I dun like when my characters are at risk of death because I have to love them to be interested in an RP. :( And when you love a character, it makes it nearly impossible to kill them off.

The genre is actually kind of misleading ^^""truthfully? I want just an NPC to die or two. I plan to keep the murders down to an absolute minimum, because I'm going for more of a psychological horror aspect. This isn't a slasher movie roleplay, its a roleplay of suspicion, not knowing who to trust. theres a perfect Japanese word for it, but I don't know the English equivalent. I haven't fully decided if playable characters can die, and if they do, I might require consent. I'm so bad at this XD

Summer Camp: A Survival Horror Mystery Roleplay

Guys, I do know what the camp looks like and what it consists of. I'm just having difficulties determining and explaining the size. The camp will have cabins, it'll be by a lake, etc etc. I have a rough layout sketched out and everything.

What I do need help with are what activities normal camps do, and any names. Unless you guys want to role play a language immersion camp, that is. That I'm an expert in.

Caelbury Academy [Version 2]

Er... Here's a new RP I'm attempting to start up.

Dunno how it'll go though. I've never attempted one like this. And um, I dunno. Check it out if you all love my RPs so much for some reason.

QQ Hae you're so nice
