@The Ghost Note@vertigh0st@Maglar@CryptDemon@Kazemitsu@KatKook@Pink Khione@KiwiHalcyon@Heretic Welcome to Cherry Falls. It's a picturesque town where people seem to flock from all over the world. Situated on the coast of Oregon, this place has seen a lot of strange phenomenon throughout the years. The Cherry Falls Inn is rumored to house the spirits of those who were wrongfully murdered in the Inn. It's been a well known haunt for people to visit and experience the supposed supernatural happenings.
Truth be told, Cherry Falls in is a supernatural trap laid by evil witches. For some reason or another, you've found yourself in Cherry Falls, and find the inn there the only one with any vacancies. Upon arrival, you find the inn to give you a strange feeling, and notice that after dark, the attendees seem to become hostile- even feral. There seems to be infinite rooms and floors- even though you could have sworn it was only a small hotel from the outside.
Eventually, you find a group of lost souls like you- lost in the maze of rooms. They've set up a base in the only safe room of the Hotel- the Penthouse. They show you the note from the mysterious "management" that seems keen on leaving playful notes for the guests. It reads:
We're giving you the tools to find your way out. There is an exit; feel free to find it. Love, Management.
The randomized rooms full of horrors as tame as holiday store decorations all the way to eldritch horror abominations from the tenants worst nightmares don't help much when you're trying to find your way out. Can you work together to get through the puzzles, and manage to work your way out of the hotel?
➽➽➽ ** I am red/green color blind, and have a hard time seeing red text. If you wouldn't mind, please use this sparingly if you have to use it. ➽➽➽ Our characters are humans. You can have skills and weaknesses, but no superpowers. ➽➽➽ On the topic of OCs, you may have a total of TWO characters to start out with. This is to ensure that we don't have a bloat of characters right off the bat. Please take some time to develop these characters. ➽➽➽ Treat everyone how you wish to be treated- with respect and courtesy. ➽➽➽ This roleplay is somewhat based on the creepypasta No End House and American Horror Story: Hotel. ➽➽➽ I would like the pictures for this roleplay to be art, anime, illustrations, or semi realistic drawn art. I prefer high quality pictures over those that are too small or too blurry. ➽➽➽ All characters MUST be between the ages of 18 and 35. This is to ensure an element of realism in the roleplay. ➽➽➽ No flowerpot characters. Please create characters that have a backbone and a story that fits the plot. ➽➽➽ This is a group effort. Everyone comes up with plot twists and ideas to further the story together. ➽➽➽ This RP is going to be rather lax. I understand that we are busy people, and that real life comes first. That is why there will be no set posting speed. All I ask is that if you must step away for any reason, that you come to me and tell me that. That being said, please do not turn the thread into a one on one. Once you've posted, please wait for at least three other character posts before you post with that character again.

You've arrived in Cherry Falls late at night only to find the only vacancies at the inn. You're given the key to your room, and as you ascend the stairs, the staff you find seems to turn from their pleasant demeanor into feral creatures ready to kill at a moment's notice. When you finally get to where you're going, after being attacked and chased down the hallways, you notice your key opens the penthouse. Odd since you didn't request the penthouse. Upon opening the door, a group of other, sentient and sane- for the most part- people greet you. Equally as shaken, you must learn to work together to figure out how to leave.
This movie was heavily inspired by a movie called big fish and begonia. Which is a Chinese movie. The characters in the movie are spirits of some sort. They are all capable of basic nature magic such as helping plants grow and what not, but as they get older, their magic becomes more specialized. I wanted to take the same concepts here as well. So now that our characters are older and old enough to start learning their specializations, most drift away from nature magic.
There are roles like the soul collector and other things of that nature but these people are often lesser spirits given the title of an ethereal.
I think someone had an idea to be a keeper of the town. Like he does the upkeep on the trains and the roads. So his powers would pertain to such things.
The curse forces the ethereals to stay inside their small village. There's an invisible field around it that acts as a border to keep them in. Humans can enter, but rarely do. When humans do enter, it looks like a ghost town, and the inhabitants look like monsters regardless of how beautiful they appear to each other.
To leave the barrier, it needs either be broken by the witches who cast the curse or you need an object from the human world. But if you choose the latter option, you won't be able to reenter the barrier.
These ethereals have had no contact with humans. But have grown up hearing the stories about how heartless humans are. It's also kind of like Atlantis where they're trapped and even though there are children and stuff, its no secret they're a dying people.

Loren was the product of his parents' prayers and dreams. The boy never fussed as a baby, and grew up quiet in comparison to most babies. Many thought he would inherit his father's morbid fascination with collecting the souls of the recently departed, but he never did. Rather, he loved the night, and became fascinated by its eclipsing beauty.
His hair, according to his parents, is as dark as the midnight sky, and is always worn long- tied back in a low ponytail. His eyes are bright grey hues with a tint of violet. His fox features are similarities he shares with his father- ears and tail. Otherwise, he bears a striking resemblance to his mother. They're both blessed with pale, porcelain features that some might call winter touched.
He's always been rather soft-spoken- preferring to sit, watch, and observe than be directly involved in most things. Loren is often lost in his own world- never without his needle, thread, and favorite shears. Socially inept as he might seem, Loren does enjoy the company of people in most situations.
Some may call it self-harm, but he prefers to call it art; underneath his clothing, he has stitches along his hands and forearms that he changes every so often depending on his mood.

s k í l l s & w є α k n є s s є s ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ Abilities ➽➽➽ Illusion Creation - with the help of his artistic strengths, he is able to create illusions or mirages and manipulate reality for a short amount of time. ➽➽➽ Cryokinetic Healing - Loren can manipulate ice to help others and himself heal small wounds. Larger wounds wounds are much more challenging, but as long as it isn't life threatening, he would be able to heal someone. ➽➽➽ Thread Manipulation - He is able to manipulate the threads in his own clothing or someone elses- or even thread from an outside source. He is also able to manipulate the thread in such a way to create shields or barriers. This does, however, have disadvantages as well as thread is susceptible to fire or sharp objects.
Weaknesses ➽➽➽ His illusions are limited to the environment for the time being, and last only a few minutes. With enough practice, his illusions could last far longer and adapt with the people that they effect, but he seems happy with his skills as they are. ➽➽➽ Loren has always been rather empathetic. He feels as though he can sense someone's "aura" around them. Though, this is really just his being able to read body language and a person's actions well. If he is affected too strongly by someone else's feelings, he may become rather lethargic and moody. ➽➽➽ Like his mother, his skin is icy to the touch, and he seems to be much more susceptible to warm temperatures. When using his healing abilities, ice will slowly start to grow on his body starting on his hands. Small wounds and bruises are nothing, but larger cuts and wounds would cause parts of his body to be encased in ice until they thaw out.

♥ Orchids, honey dew, tailoring, sweet rose tea, night time ☒ Day time, heat, having creative block, loud or noisy people, being lied to, bad vibes ✧ ✧ ✧ He hates shoes, and prefers to go without them unless absolutely necessary. ✧ ✧ ✧ Loren has a large mental collection of what is commonly referred to as "Dinner Table Knowledge". This commonly starts with "Did you know that..." and while he is normally a more reserved boy, if you were to get him going on one of these issues, he might never shut up. ✧ ✧ ✧ He often wears gloves when not sewing or embroidering so that if he were to touch someone, they would not be startled by his frigid skin. This is two-fold, as his hands are his life, and when not working on his art, he'd rather protect his hands with the gloves.
t r í v í α ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ➽➽➽ He feels lethargic during the day, but this is largely psychosomatic as his preferred time is night time. ➽➽➽ He is terrified of fire. ➽➽➽ He is (or at least he likes to think he is) very good at making clothes for himself and other people if they ask him to. He hates ugly clothing, and even though he tries not to criticize people by what they wear, his face often gives it away if it's truly hideous ➽➽➽ Loren has three core beliefs: a) Cats are better than people (especially to have conversations with) b) Everything happens for a reason c) Karma is a bitch ➽➽➽ His mother calls him Wren like the songbird

Loren and his sister often spent a lot of their time with their Uncle- The Ethereal of the Sky- and his wife as their parents were busy with their responsibilities. His parents were some of the few that continued their responsibilities even after the incident with the humans many years before either Loren or his sister were born. They continued to take their roles very seriously, and continued to be a beacon in their small, dwindling community. When his parents were around, he much preferred the company of his mother over his father who had too grim a sense of humor for him.
Each morning, his uncle would create a beautiful sky, and at night, he would do the same with his abilities. Loren fell in love with what he did, and as soon as he discovered his love of needlecraft, he wanted to be like his uncle. The man took advantage of Loren's abilities, and more often than not, stole his work without telling the boy- claiming they were stolen or that he simply misplaced them. Being very trusting, Loren had his suspicions, but never said anything.
He grew up a reserved boy with a quiet demeanor- choosing to watch and listen rather than acting right away. Unlike his sister who was far more wild and untamed than he. Despite this, he has always been sure of the path he wanted to take in life, and what career he wished to follow. He never agreed with the prejudices of his uncle as he too believed that the humans- regardless of what they'd done to them- still deserved to see the beauty in the world.

Hi, everyone! Thank you so very much for your interest in Cherry Falls. I honestly didn't expect this many people, but I'm here for it all day long.
That being said, I am working full time at work this week, and responses might be kind of slow on my end. Please don't let this discourage you from joining the rp. I will have a thread up with rules and a character sheet sometime before Sunday ends.
If you want to get to work on a character sheet to tide you over before then, then please keep your images for this in the anime/art/illustrations category for your face claims.
