[/cell][cell]In Who Is Eleanor Black? the story revolves around a mysterious woman that has had a profound effect on so many people's lives. She saved some lives, changed others - she is a friend, a sister, a mother, a lover, and many, many other things. However, the only issue is that she doesn't exist. There's not a trace of her in any census or log, and if you ask someone about her they would have nary an idea of who she is. What she did gets attributed to other people, and just leaves the people that apparently know her feeling crazy! 

This is a phenomenon as there are other people who know about Eleanor Black - all of them meeting over the internet - with each of them having a wildly different version of her in their heads. They figured that they can't all be crazy and settle to get to the bottom of this. One trait that each version of Eleanor Black has is that she grew up in (or some relation) a small swampy town known as [b]Quintin, Louisiana[/b] raised by a rich family known as the [b]Black Family[/b]. Organized by a woman named Jennifer Caspin, they all agree to meet in Quintin and get to the bottom of this mystery.
[/cell][/row][/table][indent]However, Quintin Lousiana is not a place that's welcoming to strangers, especially not the kind that snoops around. More importantly, the Black family and Quintin themselves harbor a terrifying secret that they will fight tooth and nail to protect. They will dive into the world of the supernatural as they learn that Eleanor is more than just a woman. And possibly something other than human. The story is inspired by Life is Strange, Dead by Daylight, Lakeview Cabin/Valley, Bakemonogatari, and Neon Genesis Evangelion. A fusion of genres, this RP will have themes of Urban-fantasy and horror (I call it Off-Urban fantasy) with a southern gothic aesthetic. One of the most important things for me would be having the right tone and vibe, which I think will be darker and spooky. The thematic will be the nature of identity and the effects one person can have on a person's life and if they would be the same if the person was different or absent. Above all else its thematic will be [b]Connections[/b], [b]Emotions[/b], and [b]Memories[/b].[/indent]


[h1][color=black] RULES & NOTES [/color][/h1][sup]_______________________________________________[/sup]
[hider][table][row][/row][row][cell][b]1.[/b] First and foremost I reserve the right to reject anyone from the RP and boot them out at any time. I hate to do this and I will [i]try[/i] to avoid it but sometimes some people are too disruptive to the RP or aren't a good fit and have to be removed.

[b]2.[/b] Please try to be respectful towards all other players.

[b]3.[/b] The Recollections Universe is a dark off-urban fantasy set in the real world, so it'll be relatively realistic. This means I want all characters to make sense, have a realistic (or real) faceclaim, etc. You can pretty much go crazy with any type of character of mostly any sexuality, gender, race, religion, etc, etc. Just stray away from sociopaths/psychopaths.

[b]4.[/b] The tone of the RP will be fairly dark and brooding... not like super gritty or edgy ([s]only a little[/s]). It'll have plenty of dark moments and probably some pretty graphic moments. However, it'll be offset by the absurdist humor inherent to the setting.

[b]5.[/b] Please no "wip" sheets on the OOC. Post a complete sheet or don't post anything at all. If you need something looked over, feel free to private message me. Speaking of which, the character tab is for accepted characters only.

[b]6.[/b] Keep in mind that your character can totally die. If they make the wrong move it can result in their death and I will not jeopardize the story to save them.

[b]7.[/b] You're allowed to have as many characters as you can handle... just don't go [i]too[/i] crazy. I'd like to keep it to about two characters max per person, but if you got a really good idea I'll allow more.

[b]8.[/b] Keep in mind that this RP isn't quite a regular superpower RP ([s]even though you'll ignore this[/s]), it's an off-urban fantasy with horror themes. It's honestly a weird blend of like thirty different genres but that's beside the point. I want the abilities in this setting to be more grounded in magic, the fantastical, and the thematic over everything. I like abilities that [i]reflect[/i] the user in some way, but I'd appreciate seeing how you interpret it. I would prefer if you stray away from scientific abilities like gravity/magnetism manipulation, but I will allow it if you insist.

[b]9.[/b] Your character's relation to Eleanor Black can be [i]anything[/i], as in you are encouraged to go crazy. The point is for each character to have their own version of Eleanor Black made up in their head.[/cell][cell][b]10.[/b] I only describe the essential lore for making a character. That is because I like doing stuff from top-to-bottom, meaning I like to explore the supernatural world in character. If you want any details about the lore for making a character please let me know.

[b]11.[/b] Nobody will start with an abstraction of any kind and I will decide on an abstraction for their character. I will PM it to you at a certain point. I reserve the right to change the abstraction if they have not developed it yet. To balance it out, ya’ll can decide [i]MY[/i] character’s abstraction.

[b]12.[/b] This RP will strictly be "first come, first serve." Meaning I will not reserve any /character/roles/etc, and they will go to whoever finishes their character sheet first. If there's a conflict over it, I will decide the outcome.

[b]13.[/b] All I ask for is one post a week. If it's been a week since your last post, your character will be placed into the inactive section until they are written off (mostly by death). Please be aware that once your character is inactive they can be killed off. 

[b]14.[/b] The RP runs off of Ambiguous Time Period. Basically meaning the rp will have aspects from different time periods so it'd be hard to place a specific time period.

[b]15.[/b] I would like it if everyone is an outsider to Quintin. A few twists wouldn’t work if a lot of people were from Quintin. Again, if you have a cool idea I will allow it.

[b]16.[/b] There are rules that are so beaten into your head that it should be obvious.[/cell][/row][/table]
