Night Terrors; a Modern Horror RP

posted, not much, but I wrote that primarily as a vehicle for the character introductions rather than trying to lay the whole plot and setting out (especially in the case of setting, that's already laid out in the OOC...)

Night Terrors; a Modern Horror RP

Nowhere, USA
November 7th, 2024
4:30PM

A bright, but chill afternoon...

The sun was already vanishing behind the tree line, while in the shade of the surrounding marshes, the faintest mist was already rising.

The steam that rose from the vents of a local diner had ceased, the "open" sign already cut out.

At the local high school, a banner that originally advertised support for the local football team now had a looser sign taped over it, that read "Game Cancelled Due to Weather". The remaining staff and students quickly exited, and merged with the rest of the pedestrians...

People moved in a hurried fashion, as a police vehicle slowly moved along the main street, calling out the final warning of curfew.

And one greyhound bus came to a stop outside the town hall, where the driver announced to it's passengers, "Alright, folks, disembark in an orderly manner, be sure to claim your luggage, and make sure to check in, those of you who've arranged a stay at the Nowhere Hotel. Those who haven't, meet up with your connections, be they friend or family, but Greyhound can't be responsible for passengers staying aboard..." He paused, hesitating at his final words, "This is the end of the line."

Alright, tonight I'll write up and post an opener.

In the meantime, do please abstain from unapproved alterations to character sheets.

P.S. @Sky Blue please remove the changes you made without discussing first

@RickyG85
Sure.
So that would mean getting rid of this:

"Hmm, yes, I want an interesting ability as well..."

@AlmostEternity

Correct.

I appreciate your sense of humor so far ^_^

Once you've made the edits, feel free to move it to the character tab

Night Terrors; a Modern Horror RP

Character Name: Silo Stingly
Physical Description: Wild, messy, long brown hair.
Age: 17
Role: Outcast
Psychic: Yes
Skills/Abilities of Note:
He has the ability to take anyone's feelings and give them to anyone else(including himself) that he can see clearly in his eyesight. However, he does this unintentionally.
Background:
He's always been the one at school who never has really had any friends and people avoid. He spends his time alone, and doesn't like to get near people. He has come to the conclusion that other people are weird and bonds are pointless after a particularly strange encounter with a group of high schoolers and his mother when he was still in middle school.
Previous Encounter/s: No
Resources: Internet, Cell Phone. His Grandfather on his mother's side, however, is a steady source regarding myths and horror stories.
Odds of Survival: (I'm just gonna go with whatever the GM gives.)

@AlmostEternity

I'd say drop the psychic ability, and he can start with 3 Odds. Deal?

*poof*
Someone say horror roleplay?

@AlmostEternity

I'm going to give this until... Sunday, and if nobody else has signed on... I dunno, this is meant to be a group thing, and I'm not switching to the 1X1 area. if nobody else has popped in and made a character by then, I might give a week with just 1 player and see if other people join in.

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)

@RickyG85

if that's agreeable to you, make the edits (and keep track of your ammunition, I know I will) and put it in the character tab ^_^

Night Terrors; a Modern Horror RP

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?

@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??)
