Not everyone will be a final girl. Connected to the Skyrose RP Multiverse. [b][color=ff0000]Goal of the RP:[/color][/b] Prevent the demonic incursion and save the universe [b][color=ff0000]Character Requirements:[/color][/b] Magically inclined/connected [hr][hr][h3][b][i][color=ff0000][center]Premise[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [quote=Dante]Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself within a forest dark, For the straightforward pathway had been lost. Ah me! how hard a thing it is to say What was this forest savage, rough, and stern, Which in the very thought renews the fear. So bitter is it, death is little more; But of the good to treat, which there I found, Speak will I of the other things I saw there.[/quote] The Sorcerer Supreme of each universe defends it from mystical threats and incursions. They are responsible for maintaining thousands of delicate spells, some cast by their predecessors, others by themselves. One such spell is the veil, a protective force that prevents other realms from consuming our own. After the death of a Sorcerer Supreme, it is critical for the power to immediately transfer to a chosen successor. Otherwise, these spells will unravel, spelling doom for an entire reality. If there is no heir to the current Sorcerer Supreme, the power will attach itself to the first worthy magician to claim the title. This situation is ill advised; should the power of the Sorcerer Supreme fall into the wrong hands, the result would [i]also[/i] be disastrous for all of creation. The Sorcerer Supreme of Earth wields the power of life. Any person less than the greatest good, with such almighty power, will at best become a corrupted tyrant... and at worst, the devil reborn. On October 31st of 2021, in the dimension designated as Earth-666, Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Stephen Strange has not designated a successor. He had considered the Scarlet Witch, yet he did not wish to burden her with the responsibility. He had considered Agatha Harkness, but he feared that she would misuse the power, succumbing to evil acts. He had considered a number of Asgardians, a number of his own colleagues - he had even offered his closest friend, Wong, to take up the mantle should he pass. Wong refused. So it was on Halloween night that Doctor Strange, hosting a small gathering of the magical community, received a distress call. The Sorceress Supreme of a neighboring dimension, the demonic hell of Limbo, reluctantly was requesting aid. Her kingdom was revolting against her. And her own darker nature was threatening to take hold. Doctor Strange left for Limbo, reassuring his party guests that he would return shortly.[hr][hr][h3][b][i][color=ff0000][center]Characters[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [color=ff0000][b]Accepted:[/b][/color][list][*]...[/list] [color=ff0000][b]NPCs:[/b][/color][list][*]Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme of Earth-666 [/list] [hr][hr][h3][b][i][color=ff0000][center]Our World [/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] In this RP, we [i]consider the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies up to and including the first Avengers film to be cannon.[/i] There are roleplays that have happened in this timeline as well, forming our own Roleplay Universe (please [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/165133-morose-multiverse-lore-guide/ooc]click here[/url] to see the full in depth lore guide for our multiverse). These RPs are part of the overarching cannon. Characters from previous RPs are able to reappear in this one if it is thematically appropriate for them, even if they had died. This RP in particular focuses on the magical and horror elements of this world, which are admittedly somewhat poorly defined. They are open to interpretation and argumentation. As this is a horror RP, I have included below rough summaries of the other horror RPs in this universe, to give you an idea as to what sort of other dark and troubling events have happened aside from the superhero-ness of it all. [list][*][url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/164246-strange-new-waters]Strange New Waters[/url] - April 1719 - Pirates come into contact with a mysterious cursed object, as the goddess Hecate possesses one of their number.

[*]Change the color code to a unique one (i.e. not in use by a current character). Please try to avoid colors that are very similar to the eye as well. [*]Choose a faceclaim/representative image/rendering of your character that is not currently in use - if you're not sure if someone is using that FC or image, ask the GM. [*]The GM can refuse a concept for any reason, yet will generally work with you to fix up the character until they can be accepted. [*]Talk to the GM if you want your character to have established connections (i.e. if this were a Percy Jackson RP and you wanted to be Percy's goddaughter, talk to the GM in advance for approval). [*]GM approved character sheets should be posted in a hider in the Char tab. [*]The GM will check posting history / previous RPs - you've been warned. [*]Once CS's are approved, relation sheet will go up and must be completed and added to CS [*]Under Extras in your CS please post a link to a post you have done in the past to show you have read the rules. If You submit a CS without this it may be declined. [*]Special - To New Comers To The Guild - Pm The Gm for a tid bit to add under extras instead[/list] [*][i][b]Post Content[/b][/i][list][*]No use of racial slurs in posts. Sure, you may be playing a racist white guy from the 1950s, so just use asterisks - you'll convey the same idea. [*]Nudity needs to be run by the GM before posting. In [i]general[/i], this is PG-13 when it comes to romance, sexual interactions, exposure, and so forth... Violence wise, anything goes. This can get gross. Basically a hard R when it comes to everything else. [*]Fade to black for things that verge into the area of smut/other taboo subjects. Seriously. Your post will be deleted otherwise. [*]The world and NPCs and events are controlled by the GM. If the GM says it's raining, then it's raining. Results will be randomized per [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/139808-gming-201-randomization-world-narratives-lla]dice mechanics[/url].[/list] [*][b][i]Posting & General Behavior[/i][/b][list][*]Follow all of the rules of the forum - they're the law of the land. [*]If you need an extension or you're struggling - or even if you just aren't certain what to do - please reach out to the GM! Communication is key. [*]All posts are backed up on the back up forum after they have been posted - the GM will provide the link for this forum. It only takes a few seconds and it ensures all your hard work is preserved! [*]You must post once every 7 days - once your last post on RPG reads as [i]8 days ago[/i] you will be removed from the RP. [*]If you need an extension, ask!! If an emergency comes up on day 7, of course come and talk to us - we'll be more than happy to work something out. It's very rare that an extension request is denied. [*]You may NOT copy and paste something from someone else's post and add it to your own. This includes dialogue. [*]Minimal 2 posts between your last [*]No editing posts without GM approval. [*]Each post should include two well developed paragraphs (please don't make me define how many sentences are in a paragraph. If they're long sentences, then sure 5 is fine - if they're shorter, maybe 15 is best). [*]Read all posts! Seriously, people are reading yours so spread the love and read theirs! [*]No tagging for interactions in your post - people use this as a crutch usually to get away with not reading everything.[/list][*][b][i]Other[/i][/b]:[list][*]Character deaths will happen, no one is safe - it will be randomized and you will be notified when your death approaches. (This does not mean you are out of the RP, it will mean however you need to make a new character should you wish to continue.) This RP will have a HIGH death toll. [*]The GM reserves the right to make decisions as to how much additional time, if any, will be granted to post if the forum is glitching. A week to post is plenty of time even if the forum glitches a day or two. But usually, I do tend to be pretty generous about it... [*]Rules and character sheet will be added to and changed as need be depending on problems or points that come up. [*]Under Extras in the CS also mention your favorite Marvel [u][b]MAGIC[/b][/u] character so I know you at least skimmed this... [*]Check the discord chat every few days. Invite will be provided by the GM.[/list] [/list][hr][hr][h3][b][i][color=ff0000][center]Character and Grimmoire Sheets[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] Please read through the instructions for this character sheet carefully.

For each magical thing they can do, list the type of magic, give a brief description, and then place any notes. For example, one of these slots might be [i]Tarot Cards[/i], classified as Divination, and under notes you would put how you could use them to predict the future blah blah blah. Another slot could be [i]Transformation[/i], Transmutation type, and you could put down how you can turn men into beasts and so forth.
