As the title states, this is a roleplay adaption of Edgar Allan Poe’s [i]Masque of The Red Death[/i]. One of my favorite short stories of his. The story is about a dreadful plague that sweeps across the realms, striking scores upon scores dead. Uncaring for the common folk and wanting only for he and his consorts to survive the plague, the flamboyant aristocrat Lord Prospero invites all the noble folk to take refuge in his estate. (Some versions call it an abbey. We will simply refer to it as a castle estate.) The estate is massive, and Prospero, his guardsmen, servants, and one thousand noble folk all hide away within the walls to avoid the plague. One night, Prospero hosts a masquerade ball to better morale and make people forget about the wrath of the plague. All is well and good until a mysterious guest with a bloody visage of death arrives. Bringing the plague itself... [b]______________________________________________________________________________[/b] So then, this RP will require two-to-three others aside from myself. My partners will create their own noble character attending the ball and hiding from the plague within the walls of Prosperos’ estate. Unlike the actual story itself, this adaption of mine will follow the events of the entire night, after Prosperos’ demise as the plague begins to ravage the entire castle.

This idea is open for discussion and I am open to suggestions, ideas, and to hear out concerns and questions. I hope to catch some interest! [/center]
