► Premise

Salem, Massachusetts - 1692.

The year in which it all began. The witch hunters came to town to rid of the growing witch community with dedication and fearlessness. Amidst the dark rituals and petrifying spells, the witch hunters stopped at nothing and fought mercilessly to give proper consequences to the unwanted, demonic force. A body of individuals practicing devilish, black magic casted friends and family against each other, tainting the air and setting the atmosphere of Salem, Massachusetts. What was thought to be an end of this supernatural advancement in history, was only the beginning of a better understanding of a realm of beings that have only been rumored to be true. As time went on, the witch trials that began soon became scarce and it was announced finished just to bring peace to the people of Salem, but any smart person would feel the cold, dark air that permanently contaminated such a beautiful place.

The existence of supernatural beings were kept secret, but Salem, Massachusetts housed them all. It would be unrealistic to believe that each rabid werewolf or demonic witch kept their wicked race a secret; stories would often reach out to the people when sudden deaths and cold-blooded events would stir up — but there was always a cover-up, an alibi, a false story. It wasn’t just the supernaturals that worked to keep themselves secret, but the community itself was to be protected from the knowledge of their existence to save for an empty, deserted town to only be filled with a potential, growing force. Witch hunters became scarce since the powers of the supernatural realm only grew with time, evolving fast to fully reach their true potential. It took a skilled individual to really take down a creature of the night. In these days, it is said that it takes one to kill one.

For several decades, they worked hard to keep their kin in check, excusing the occasional instances in which a werewolf would run rabid, a vampire would feast, or a witch would use an innocent for a sacrifice. It was a peculiar lifestyle, working to be a secret and not letting one’s supernatural abilities get the best of them. Although, there were feuds between the community. Perhaps it was for sport to save them from boredom, especially with a strong desire to properly exercise the skills of such powerful bloodlines. The voodoo witches rivaled the witch covens, the werewolf packs rivaled the vampire covens, and the witch hunters were now out to extinguish them all.

Today, casting aside all rivalries, all revered individuals in the community, all supernatural battles, and all differences between each vile race, a coming shift was felt among each person within the community. The supernaturals were becoming too comfortable, too prideful, and it was nearing a time in which a proper, threatening force were to come to eliminate them all. The mystery remains unsolved and perhaps it was the paranoia-induced fears among foretellers and those containing precognitions of a coming armageddon that ceased all civil wars and petty battles. A silence has stirred up and many lose sleep during the night(or day).

Bad omens and warning signs are experienced by everyone within the community. Whether it be strange symbolic writings produced in the strangest of places, or the death of a supernatural by unknown causes, or rabid supernaturals that roam endlessly trying to kill. Mind control, unknown writings, peculiar symbols, repetitive visions of the beginning of an end — all of these factors introduced a fear for a cataclysmic era within the supernatural realm. But what is the solution? Should this be a matter to be feared? Is this simply a scare? The signs are apparent and the fear to be had was appropriate, even for the strongest supreme witch, pack leader, or coven leader within the community.

Where does the average hunter stand in such a situation in which they are being aided, yet still threatened? To kill just one supernatural calls for a destructive battle, so to kill them all in an act of genocide would cause terror a great length outside of the community. Should the safety of the people be one to question? Is this force supporting the cause of eliminating supernaturals or is it a mere war of sport and games from a powerful figure exercising his abilities?

It is now that a rising force is being welcomed, instituting a diversity of races, packs, and covens, to build some sort of agreement to educate and protect one another from what is to come. Consisting of several strong assets, this force seeks to build a safe haven and to also establish a long awaited, and necessary, band of individuals to ensure peace within the community. Whatever you may call it, only those with open minds choose to participate, many of which cannot cast aside their differences, choosing to ignore the concept, or even retaliate this treaty. The choice is yours. Will you band together as a community and defend against the intimidating force to come, or will you keep to your foul pack or iniquitous coven? Will you protect your loved ones, or stick to yourself? The fate of your life is in your hands, as it always has been, in Salem, Massachusetts.


► Nobody is Useless, in Salem, Massachusetts

Whether you’re used to fulfill a ravenous vampire’s thirst, a starved werewolf’s hunger, or an immoral witch’s ritual, your purpose in the hell known as Salem, Massachusetts will always be of great use.









► OOC

This concept is spawned from a role-play that had a bit of trouble lasting by @Silence Sounds! I’d like to thank her for the ideas, some of the content, and for giving me a creative idea to get going! As well as a template for an OOC/Recruitment thread! Sadly, she is currently inactive, but I don't want to take credit for the creativity that she put into this!

So, this is your classic supernatural RP taking place in, none other than, Salem, Massachusetts! I tried my best to make this as different as possible, trying to stray away from such mainstream, supernatural concepts! To summarize the plot — it is essentially a mystery to the players. A coming oblivion is foreseen by many and the rumors are spreading very fast that supernaturals are to watch their backs from a realm-ending terror. I don’t want to reveal what it is that will be threatening the realm(partially because I haven’t really come up with something super clever YET), but that just adds the fun to the mystery! ALSO, I’m new to GMing, so it’d be cool if ya’ll would be patient with me. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask!

For now, I'm only looking to see if this catches anybody's eye! If I have a good group of players, then I'll definitely kick this off! My idea starts out with a meeting between the supernatural entities, probably just the leaders though. This was called to try to provide clarity and understanding of the signs they've all been given. In the mean time, they are to try and set aside their differences and century-long quarrels to try and come up with a solution for the situation at hand.

Oh hey, I remember this. I quite enjoyed the short run we had last time, though I unfortunately don't have the time to bring Genevieve back for this one. Hopefully round two goes a lot better!

Ok, I'm interested. I'm thinking of playing a guy who falls somewhere between a weaker Warlock and a Hunter, has pretty much just arrived in town to try and live a quieter life despite having an unfortunate tendency to accidentally end up right in the middle of everything, and generally just tries to pretend he's a normal guy who doesn't know anything about the magical world, either to avoid getting caught up in it all yet again or to keep potential enemies from seeing him as a threat and giving him the advantage.

I promise he isn't as edgy as he sounds, either.

@TootsiePop 's data is crapping out so she asked me to post for her:

@Lionhearted hey im going to post tentative interest. I'm about to go on a week trip from Wednesday to Tuesday, for personal reasons, so I won't be able to think about a character until after that. I love all things supernatural, though. I'd make either a witch with necromancy as her specialty or a male wolf detective.

Guess I'll throw in my interest as well then. I'll probably end up making a warlock though I have no idea about his personality yet.

I forgot to say which role I’m interested so it will most likely be a werewolf or vampire. Hard choices >.>

I'm so happy this has caught so much interest! :) Thanks guys!! I'll be working on an OOC, ASAP! Once you're set on which role you're going to fulfill, just send me a PM so I can scratch that off the list to save from people making the same of a given role. I'll be making a CS code once I have some time. In this RP, we'll be using realistic images of people, so maybe you can start browsing face claims before I set up the CS code!

Those wishing to make vampires, I'm thinking of making their abilities randomized, so I'll be giving you the special ability of your vampire character! :)

@Alfhedil Nice to see you back! I hope this run goes a lot more smoothly! I have more ideas for it so I think it'll be executed much better than the last. Genevieve was a great character, but I'm also excited to see who you come up with next!

@Silence Sounds Yay! I'm so glad you're here to enjoy the RP! :) Welcome back!

@Rabidporcupine Cool character concept! I like it.

@Hoekage That is totally fine! She might have a lot of reading to come back to between the CSes and the OOC and the potential start of the RP, but it'll be fun.

@Lionhearted Thanks for the welcome back and I’m unsure if I am going to reprise my role as Supreme Voodoo Witch or take the Alpha. These are questions that haunt me!
