@Mysaren So any idea when the RP will begin?

@aviendha

Uh, soon. Sorry, I've been having sort of a bad week in terms of mental health and it may take a while. Thank all of you for your patience, and we should start sometime in the next few weeks.

Can I create a character with the power of Life-Force Absorption? The main con of their power being a gradual decomposition of their body from the outside-in, unless they absorb the life-force of another living entity. As stated before, their body begins to decay and they are generally weaker as time progresses; this leads them to suffer under excruciating pain until they host an extension of life-force. If I am allowed, I would like the character to be undead to permit no bleeding or organ failure at the late stages of decaying (for added effect). When the user absorbs life-force, their body physically regenerates to an extent depending on the volume of life-force absorbed. Unfortunately, the regeneration process also inflicts extreme pain on the user as tissue and skin reforms around the body. When a source is targeted for absorption, they start to feel a gradually increasing fatigue. Once their fatigue is peaking, the source will begin to feel pain as their skin corrodes and bleeds out- exposing the flesh underneath. When the user's body is fully regenerated, the excessive life-force is stored to use as a faster means of regeneration or an extended resistance to burning. I am welcoming collaboration towards any aspects of my character which allows them to fit within the role-play; if anybody would like to offer any ideas, please do.

@InfiniteEmbers

Sorry for taking so long! That sounds pretty interesting, though, I'd allow it!

@Silver Carrot I'm gonna have to agree with Noxious, telling the future is... finicky in rps, and it's very very easy to cross the line into godmodding, though I do like all of aviendha's ideas!

@Noxious Insane would probably be a safer way to go, although feel free to go out of the box a little bit. Maybe their personality got shifted dramatically or something, not necesarrily laughing mad insanity, but something that shook them to their core, you know?

@deadpixel101 I like him! Feel free to post him int he CS tag.

Also sorry for my activity being so wonky, there's a lot of things happening this week so expect the RP to start on saturday/sunday.

Ignis succensus venenatis in nobis.

Iterum Incipi

Let's start over.

It’s hard to say when they first appeared. No, no, not when they first appeared, when they first showed themselves to us. They were there a whole lot longer than us, they deserve some sort of respect. Anyways.

People started seeing them in their dreams. It wasn’t just sight, though. Actually, it started out as noises. Even in the most saccharine, lollipop filled dreams, people heard whispers. Poems and hymns in languages that were all throat and teeth, and though they were ancient, the hearers could still understand them, at least their basic meaning. If there’s one thing that can cross any sort of linguistic barrier, it’s death and destruction.

The dreams stayed the same though, not until later. Everyone had a variation on it, but they were all about the same. Standing in some strange landscape, filled with shapes and colors that human eyes couldn’t usually perceive. The whispering was now a chanting, and shadows danced just outside of your line of sight. That enough was to make a few people fall off the deep end. Crime rates spiked, fanatical cults sprung up like dandelions. It’s hard to imagine now, how simple things seemed back then.

Eventually, though, things died out. The dreams stopped, the cults because a meme and then nothing, and the crime rate eventually leveled out again. It was twelve years before the final dream.

This time, it wasn’t everyone.

They estimated it to only be around 100 people, but it’s hard to tell. The dream was so horrific, that few could even speak after what they saw. Only a few could put it to words. It was like something out of a Lovecraft novel, they said. A monster covered in eyes and mouths, it’s form so gnarled and distorted that the actual shape of it was near impossible to define. It spoke in the same ancient language as before, and again, people could feel the meaning of the words in their bones, could feel their mind cracking and shifting under the weight of this knowledge.

However, with that pain came something else. A power so strong, that just the idea of it was enough to cause problems.

80 of the 100 identified victims later committed suicide.

The last 20 decided to accept their mission, and the powers that came with it.

Kill Cte-athot.

Numquid non audierunt?

Our characters have been assigned a power and a mission by an elder god to kil Cte-athot, a particularly douchey god that has been causing trouble. Eldritch abomination politics, you know how it is. Either way, with these great powers comes a great madness, and most of the powers really suck anyways. A pyromancer who is burned by their own fire, a necromancer who has to kill to sustain their powers. Things like that. Your characters don't have to be completely batshit insane, but I'll leave it up to you all to decide how these people are afflicted by the terrible, terrible things they've seen/will seen.

The RP will mostly follow our characters fighting off followers/creatures of Cte-athot as they not only try to navigate through their powers, but the weird bullshit that has been occuring. It'll be mildly mission based, not entirely sure yet to be honest.

vestra abscondita, revelatur.

As always, this character sheet is up to you to change/add things onto, don't remove anything, blah blah blah. It's barebones so you can add onto it as you wish. PM these to me and let me review them before I add them to the character sheet.

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Appearance:
Biography/History:
Personality: (Feel free to describe how the Dream affected them. Did they start hearing voices? Seeing things? Got a little murderous?)
Power: (Your power and it's weakness. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you're unsure.)
Anything else?:

regula sequenda est.

Yay, rules!

• No godmodding/mary sues/gary stus/etc.
• Keep fights to PM, please. IC actions don't suggest anything about OOC character, play nice, don't make me kick anyone out.
• PM character sheets for me before posting them. I'll review them and tell you if I need you to change anything.
• No graphic sexual content, and keep violence to it's logical minimum. Things might get a bit bloody, but don't go overboard with it.
• Quality over quantity in terms of writing. I'd prefer if you didn't make a habit of writing one to two line posts, but if that's legitimately all you can think of, I understand. Writer's block strikes at the worst time. However, if you have writer's block real bad, then just tell us.
• Speaking of which, tell us if you're leaving/going to be leaving for a while.
• This is more of a warning than a rule, but I'm a student in high school, I can't be on super duper often during the week. I'll be on as often as I can of course, but just as a warning if I don't reply to something/get to your character sheets.

B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

when you're in a bad spot but can't complain about it because you put yourself in that spot in the first place :^)

it's fixable its just annoying it came to this.

@Sisyphus@deadpixel101
Thank you! The OOC will be up soon, once I get one or two more people interested! This thread is also in the Advanced section (High-casual, wanted the best of both groups) so if I seem to start with too few people, there's another thread of people :P

@Nariata@k trout
Thank you! I cross-posted this thread in the casual forums (The RP is high casual, and I wanted to reach both sets of people :P) and there's another two people in that thread that're interested! So one more in either thread and I'll get started on the OOC.
