The City of Champaign, IL. The Year is 1975, and things have taken a turn for the worst. According to the radio, what seem to Cultists of all things have begun to roam the night streets. The Corpses of inhumane horrors have been found littering the Cultist sites. Not to mention the human ones. Citizens have been advised to stay indoors during the nights, and have a weapon at the ready. For those who leave during the night are often never seen alive again, and those that are found have gone completely mad. Raving on and on about nonsense to scribbling strange symbols on their walls. Now, the city isn't stupid. Trained military soldiers and S.W A.T. teams have entered Champaign, and their bodies are recovered shortly after. Some are intact, while some are missing parts of their bodies. Some appear to have even been eaten, or changed drastically. From blackened rubbery skin, to what even appear to be extra limbs growing out of them. The city is in turmoil. People are growing mad. There's regular people starting to kill each other out of paranoia. Looting are going all across the city. Resources are beginning to get scarce. Scavenging is required to live. Residents don't dare to leave their homes, and those that do carry weapons and are usually very paranoid of others. You are here now. Whether or not of your own volition. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Greetings! You should already know who I am based on the name to your left. This does take place on earth, in America. A few things you may want to know: Seeing as this is Earth, I'm afraid it's humans only. Magic Rules: Magic does exist, however, it's not arcane magic. No lightning bolt, no fireballs, no magic missles. However, Occult magic is a thing, albeit incredibly rare, and usually has pretty bad side effects. As opposed to going off of Mana like an arcane spell would, Spells instead go off of Sanity, and can drive a person insane. Magic is not known about by common people. Unless you're well versed in the Occult, you don't know magic exists. As for you, you aren't a superhero. You're a regular person in the city. Your occupation would be that of a normal person. Are a S.W.A.T. member who survived the raids and are in hiding? Are you a carpenter? Are you a military veteran? Hell, you could even be a drug dealer, anything that a normal person could be. You can be a little Japanese schoolgirl for all I care. If you do use magic in some way, it is extremely limited, and as stated before, they aren't fireballs or anything like that. The city is in lock down. Nobody comes in or out now. You want out? Too bad. You'd need to get through roadblocks, soldiers, tanks, and more. How you got into the city is up to you. You could've lived there your whole life, you could have just moved here for a new job. It's all up to you. Your objective is yours to choose. Do you want to try and escape the city? Bring the fight to the Cultists? Or survive until this all blows over? Feel free to ask any questions. What I need for your Character Sheet: Name: Ya name, dummy! Age: How old are you?
