Horrortale is an original alternate universe of the game Undertale made by Sour-Apple-Studios. If you aren't familiar with Undertale, it is widely recommended that you check it out first before browsing any related content to avoid spoiling the story for yourself. It isn't necessary however, and all are welcome, regardless of your knowledge of the game or any lore associated with it.

In this story, you take up the role as one of a group of human children (varied ages between 9 and 17) who find themselves stranded in a massive underground civilization populated by monsters that once freely roamed the surface world before being sealed down below. Surrounded by the unknown, you must find a way back to the surface, one way or another, while avoiding peril and death. The world carries a somewhat 'Alice in wonderland' type feel but with a horror twist. This is where the story differs from the traditional Undertale. The world is more ominous and foreboding, as a world full of strange monsters would be through the eyes of a child. But the threat here is real. These monsters still have their quirks, some of which may save your life. However the creatures of Horrortale tend to be more malevolent and/or dangerous to a human child as apposed to their Undertale counterparts. No, not everything will try to mindlessly kill you. But more caution should be observed while making your way out of the underground. Ultimately, you must decide the path you choose and how you interact with the world.

Ideally, a group of 4 to 7 children is enough but I'm not against having more, though I will probably have a cut off point since having a classroom of children stampeding through the underground would be hard to manage. I doubt there will be THAT much interest. But if it is so, it isn't unheard of to have multiple threads of the same topic going on. I've had this idea in off and on development for a few months now and have a story chain lined up already. All I need now is to check interest and add some final touches depending on what I see. If you have any ideas, questions, or contributions, feel free to pitch in.

I might be interested if it takes off.

Is this maybe something for you, @Thewizardguy?

Ryougu Thank you ^^ All interest and recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Anyone else have any interest in this topic? 3 or 4 more players would be nice.

I guess in the meantime, we can have a friendly conversation about undertale/horrortale to keep the thread bumped while we wait.

Been discussing in another topic the possibility of having a role system in play.

♥ Patience - Someone who wont be angered or discouraged by delays, annoyances, or obstacles and instead shows tolerance. "Let's wait and see what happens."

♥ Integrity - Someone who will take the high ground in the worst of scenarios, staying honest and having strong moral principles. "We shouldn't intrude..."

♥ Bravery - Someone who more often than not shows courage and resilience even in the face of peril, with a willingness to confront danger, uncertainty, and the possibility of death. "We'll get them before they get us!"

♥ Kindness - Someone who tends to be generous and friendly when others might not, staying considerate and warm when possible. "Could we try talking to them?"

♥ Perseverance - Someone who wont let complexity or difficulty get the better of them when they have a set goal in mind, remaining persistent when success is in their reach. "If it's possible...we just need to try harder."

♥ Justice - Someone who believes in fairness, giving impartial judgement towards what they know to be right and wrong. "If we're gonna take it, we gotta earn it."

♥ Determination - Someone who will remain resolute even when the odds of success seem impossible, never giving up, never letting in, firm to the purpose that they have set for themselves. "No turning back now..."

Alternatively, each have their potential weaknesses. Patience can be a refusal to act or move forward. Integrity can be taken advantage of by dishonesty. Bravery can be displaced by foolishness. Kindness can be used as a weakness. Perseverance can be diffused by uncertainty. Justice can be blind to circumstance. Determination can be stubbornness.

Characters could be built around these traits, or simply be built involving them. But then we would need no less than/no more than 7 players. Or we might risk missing a detrimental role.

Update from an alternate topic:

@Thread Generator SIN

I was lurking and uncertain of voicing interest, but your recent post on the souls sold me.

So, yep. Interested.

Raddum That's great! I'm glad to hear it. ^_^ Just a few more now, and I'll have the ooc/character submissions up and running. I suppose you can start calling dibs on what role(soul type) you wish to have.
Between this, the ooc, and finally the release of the ic, roles will be first come first serve. If we end up getting a surplus of people wanting to be one kind of soul....well...We'll cross that bridge when we get there. I'm also still up for discussion on the topic if any other hidden observers are lurking in the shadows, considering voicing interest. Your input is welcome, even if you ultimately decide not to participate.

Just need three more.

Yo I like what I see, Keep me posted friend.

Venom Will do! That leaves two spots! I can post the ooc! See everyone tomorrow!

I'd like to claim the Perseverance role...that's right, right?

Ryougu That's Right right right! Perseverance is reserved for you.

Will this do? (I know it's not a lot)

Ryougu You already saw this! :P

Well Everyone. With one or two spots left to fill, it's about time to post the ooc. Expect it up today. Also, thank you all for expressing your interest in this idea. I'll be sure to reward your consideration with my most creative of content. I may be rusty. It's been about two years since I last religiously roleplayed. So this is not only a new topic for you, but somewhat of a grand return to me. I'm vary thankful and gracious to have you all on board!

Now...

And just like that, two days later, A thread was born: roleplayerguild.com/topics/158572-horr..
Come and have a good time.

Last call for new characters before enrollment is closed. Thank you everyone who joined the crew. The IC will be up shortly.
