So this RP would be inspired by American Horror Story, mostly Season 3, Coven, and Season 8, Apocalypse. But it will be it's own thing.
There will be witches, warlocks, demons, werewolves, vampires, various other horror staples, but maybe even super heroes, though super powers themselves would be kinda uncommon, though a PC could actually have some. This RP would take place in the mid to late 2030's, and there would be some alternations on the time line. For example, there was never a Covid-19 Pandemic, and there have been different politicians sitting in The Oval Office.

The RP starts off with the PCs investigating a particular problem in the first post, while they meet with the rest of the players in their second post.

For now, before I make the character sheet, just post a shout out for your over all character concept. For example, if you want to, you could post, "I'm a vampire who was sired thirty years before the American Revolution, and I want to fight my dark, inner nature and be "good". Or it could be something like "I'm a wizard detective who read too many Dresden File novels." You could post something like , "I'm an amnesiac demigod, son of Zeus" or something like that.

I am interested!

THE MAN WHO DRIVES THE SHADOWS
Appearance: A lean man in his late 30s with perpetually tired eyes that glint like wet pavement under streetlights. He wears a battered fedora that seems to swallow his face in shadows, and a long coat that's slightly too big - like it was made for someone else. The only thing pristine about him is his cab: a 1974 Dodge Monaco (Like the Blues Mobile) with a paintjob the color of forgotten dreams (It looks like a yellow cab taxi).

BACKSTORY: THE ROAD TO NOWHERE Silas never wanted to be a wizard. He was just a South Side kid with a knack for seeing things others the way reflections sometimes moved on their own, how certain alleyways bent at impossible angles. That talent got him noticed by Lucian Voss, a disgraced White Council warlock who specialized in mind magic and veils. Before he knew it, he and his parents were under Lucian's powers. Lucian taught him four rules:

• "The easiest person to fool is yourself."
• "Ghosts are just memories with teeth."
• "Never look too long at your own reflection."
• "Never look someone's eyes too long."

Their partnership ended the night Lucian stepped into a mirror during a botched ritual. Something else stepped out wearing his face. Silas fled with only his mentor's coat and a set of car keys that hummed in his pocket. The keys led him to Echo, the sentient cab that became his livelihood and curse. Now he navigates the supernatural underbelly, ferrying vampires, ghosts, and worse between worlds. The cab feeds on secrets, and Silas... Silas just tries to outrun the things he's erased from his own mind. Silas's magical training is not complete (He's not a power hitter like Harry Dresden). He learned enough to:

• Create veils
• Use mind magic to cause people not to notice him (he calls it a "Jedi mind trick")
• See and talk to spirits (mostly because of ECHO)

THE CAB: ECHO
Origin: Originally a '74 Monaco used by a 1970s PI who bargained with a Threshold Spirit. The spirit possessed the car after the PI's murder.
Personality: Dry-witted and vaguely predatory. Refers to Silas as "kid" despite being older.
Quirks:

• Radio plays songs from passengers' pasts (often uncomfortably accurate).
• Headlights reveal hidden truths (e.g., a glamoured vampire's true face).
• Hungers for memories - will sometimes "forget" to charge fares in exchange for them.

---

DEFINING MOMENTS
1. The Girl in the Yellow Raincoat (His First Fare) Picked up a ghostly child. She whispered an address that led to a cold case murder. Now her ghost appears in the passenger seat during rainstorms.
2. The Bloody Backseat Incident Transported a wounded Red Court vamp during the War. The cab absorbed its blood - now the stains reappear when danger's near. "That's not mine," Silas tells passengers. "Probably."

I am interested!

Of course I approve. The problem is you're the only interested party.
