[center][i]Isn't life full of mysteries?

For eons we have been obsessed with them, and as obsessed with those who would provide us closure - philosophers questioning the mysteries of life, explorers chasing the mysteries of the world, scientists discovering what mysteries still remain. So enrapturing was this quest for answers that it bled into the stories we told.

It became the archetype of the Seeker.

One who, as the name suggests, [b]seeks[/b] to solve whatever questions they may have. Characters that search for the reality hidden from them. Characters that cut through lies and misdirection that impede their quest. Characters who strive to reveal the truth no matter the cost.

Characters who have come to be known as...

[i]Seekers Beyond[/i] is a semi-episodic crossover RP where the main narrative thrust is solving mysteries. Murder, theft, missing persons, cyber terrorism, demon summoning, frowning, if it's a crime then you're probably gonna be sleuthin' it. Inspired by all manner of detective fiction, police procedurals, logic deduction games, etc, you will be playing as [b]pre-existing canon investigators[/b], wrapped up in a mess that [b]threatens the fabric of reality[/b] and requires them to do what they do best: [b]figure shit out.[/b]

As such, this RP will be written [s]to the best of my ability[/s] [i]as[/i] a mystery. You will be expected to investigate, gather clues, piece together information, and act on what you know rather than trying to brute force answers or utilizing OOC knowledge to get the pieces in order. It's, uh, pretty experimental, but I don't require perfection, just cooperation. We'll play it by ear when the time comes and adjust where needed.

Rather than dealing with a single meta-mystery for the duration of the RP, proceedings will primarily be divided into distinct and unrelated "cases". Each "case" will constitute an arc, in its own setting with its own cast of suspects, victims, and so on. There will be periods between cases where your characters can unwind, explore the greater situation, and whatever else may happen as the ball gets rolling, acting as a bridge between cases and a means of development for both PCs and the overall plot.

I'm keeping this thread on the lighter side of detail, as I've yet to gather all my thoughts on the RP fully. Think of this as a line in the water: if enough fish bite, I'll reel it in! (You're the fish and an OOC thread would be the reel, I dunno if that tracks-)

Still, always happy to answer any questions, both for stuff I already know ahead of time and as a way to help solidify ideas into something workable, so please don't be afraid to gab!

However it goes, though, thanks for checking it out, and...

[center][i]Happy Sleuthing![/i]
