Heyy everyone!
I have had this idea for a while and finally decided to post it.
This roleplay is based on the Netflix series 'Locke & Key', but I have my own version (so you don't have to know the series to be able to play a part in this roleplay) as this roleplay will take place some time after the series (you can assume that the main characters from the series have died many years ago).
A couple of teenagers (between the ages of 14 years and 18 years old) live in the town of Matheson, Massachusetts near Key House.
Key House with the Well House (an old building with a well) in the right corner.
Key House is still in the possession of the Locke family. Some of you can play children of the current Locke family who lives there, others will be friends or distant family members or neighbours.
The magical keys are divided between the teenagers (inform me which magical key your character will have before you post your character sheet!). I have selected the following keys (I can add more if there is enough interest):
- The Matchstick Key, which allows you to set fire to the surface of anything the key touches
- The Anywhere Key, which allows you to go anywhere in the world by putting the key in the keyhole of a door and imagining a door you have seen before (can be at a photo) at the place you want to go. This key is taken by @Akayaofthemoon.
- The Head Key, which allows you to go inside someone's head by putting the key in the back of that person's neck. Once the door to someone's head has been created, you're able to go inside (and bring others), where you can interact with memories as well as remove or add things, including memories, knowledge, or emotions.
- The Music Box Key, which allows you to control people through voice commands when you put the key in the music box and open the music box.
- The Plant Key, which lets you control any plant by putting the key in the plant (so if you put the key in a tree trunk, you control that tree).
Apart from the npc's, I will also be playing the antagonist and I am not going to reveal who he or she is yet (as it is a mystery in the series too). So you won't know which one of my characters is a normal npc and which one is the antagonist. The antagonist I play is a demon from another universe with the Identity Key in their possession.
The Identity Key allows them to transform their appearance. However, they can't use The Identity Key to turn into someone who exists or used to exist. They can use it by putting the key underneath their chin.
The antagonist will use the Identity Key to act as several characters. One of them is shown to the main characters, others are hidden as normal npc characters.
The antagonist will send people they have manipulated to the teenagers in order to threaten them into giving them the keys. They want to gain all the keys and rule the world. Meanwhile both the antagonist and the teenagers are in search of the Omega Key which opens the Black Door in the sea caves (caves close to the sea) near Key House.
Behind the Black Door, one can find the origin of the demon. The teenagers want to open it and put the antagonist back to where it came from, the antagonist will try to lock the teenagers out there after which they die.
In this story, the teenagers try to lead their normal lives at school and at home, while trying to stay alive and not losing their keys. Moreover, it is very tempting to just play with the keys and to misuse them for your own good.
I ask to be 18+ because there will be violence.
Let me know if you are interesting!
