the gun i chose is a pistol that can hold up to 50 bullets in one clip. Should i mention how many clips he has?
I'd say he has one clip in it to start, and one spare, if we're not trying to implement a clear advantage. (he has a gun; that's already more than most horror victims/survivors get)
@Sky BlueNot bad! A legit "6th sense", young martial arts enthusiast (totally realistic, actually; I did shaolin wushu in high school, myself). The firearm is a little out there, but, you're liable to draw unwanted attention to yourself if you rely on in too much, and ammunition might be a hurdle as well. Not to mention money, since you're currently living that Bill Bixby lifestyle.
If you can accept all that, I'll give you a green light.
(also, give it another look over; a "Samson" was mentioned while talking about David and Judas??)
That being said, I won't have this rp put on indefinite hold by a player simply ceasing to participate, either. If a player hasn't formally left the rp, but has gone 7 days without posting, that player won't be removed, but the rp will move on without them, and they can just try to jump in on a later scene.
In the last year or two (no one really knows, for sure), strange encounters and sightings have radically increased! It started small, like these things always do, with the usual suspects- people who, for one reason or another, experts and society at large could easily shrug off or dismiss. But, ignoring it like a hoax didn't work, anymore... Not only was it slowly, noticeably, escalating, but a pattern was emerging. Not with the people reporting incidents, themselves- it quickly grew to where there was no pattern, with them- but, it was always at night, and always in an area thick with fog, or myst; regardless of the season, or if the area normally experienced such weather. Still, nobody began to take it seriously until property was damaged, and animals and people started going missing. People have stopped going outside, especially after a message began appearing in seemingly random places:
When the fog is thick, too thick to see, lock your doors and don't go out.
If you find yourself caught in an alien stair, Run faster than fast, hope your legs don't give out!
Nobody knows who is responsible for this message, or it's precise meaning- some think it's just a warning, from people working to try and understand what's going on. Others think something is spreading this message to taunt and frighten people.
Whatever is going on, it's not showing any signs of stopping...
I'm interested in running a horror game in a setting where supernatural elements are overlapping with the "normal" world, but, unlike an Urban Fantasy setting, or other horror themed settings, this overlap is recent, and not constant. Thus, it's not necessarily a common knowledge fact that this is happening, but people are aware of it, to some extent or another. Society being the way it is, people are still very reluctant to acknowledge what's going on, but are unconsciously adapting, i.e., people have stopped going out at night, etc. (expect a mix of more traditional monsters like things that could be compared to current mythologies like vampires and werewolves, but also "cryptids"; more "modern" monsters like The Dover Demon, Sasquatch, Chupacabra, and all manner of things that simply haven't been given a name.
Psychics and true magic are rare to this setting, but they are present. No high powered psychic abilities, but, maybe some low level stuff, like sensing emotions or reading surface thoughts, with a lot of concentration, maybe even the ability to consciously sense other minds, subtle things. No magic, just, people working with what skills and resources they have either to investigate what's going on, or just survive, depending on the role a player wants to take on and how the scenario plays out.
Players are encouraged to make use of tropes as a jumping point for building distinct characters, with some obvious caveates; Tropes are not stereo types, per se, I do want to see some actual character. On that note, embrace being someone who's good in particular situations, and maybe average at best in others; avoid the extremes of "Can only do one thing" and "capable of many things but good at precisely none of them". Other than that, give other players a chance, ok? No speed posting.
Character Name: Physical Description: Age: Role: Several roles can be filled in this setting, but I'll describe a few as examples elsewhere Psychic: Y/N (if yes, include information in the Background) Skills/Abilities of Note: A short list of traits or attributes that would be particularly useful to the character/make them an asset to a group, somehow help chances of survival. These must be within reason, and similar to psychic abilities, should be incorporated into the Background. Background: Previous Encounter/s: Y/N Encounter Summary: Only fill this out if the character has had previous encounters Resources: contacts, items/equipment a character would reasonably have/access to. Odds of Survival: This is basically hero points; Each player starts with one, and can be issued more at GM/Co-GM discretion, provided they are in agreement on the decision, throughout play. Ways to earn better "Odds" include, but are not limited to- good role play (consistent characterization/behavior in character), clever ideas or actions, exemplary behavior out of character, well made character, etc. In addition to being able to earn Odds by impressing the GM/Co-GM, players can PM either the GM or Co-GM to nominate other players to receive bonus Odds (within reason). Odds can be traded in to avoid death in an otherwise deadly situation, or change circumstances to their advantage (example: Players are isolated, and unarmed in a cabin by the lake. A man, his mind warped by the effects of the Nightmare Zone, is trying to get in and kill them all with a chainsaw! The phones aren't working, so you can't call for help, and he's sabotaged the cars. A player who has a cell phone[Resource!] could potentially sneak out, and, maybe, find a spot where they can pick up a signal, allowing them to call the police
