-Preface-

"What are the rules of reality? Well they aren't certain, my friends. And if they are indeed certain, then they do not refer to reality."

What does a magic key, eccentric townsfolk, an evil book, an immortal, shady government agents, amphibians, a mad scientist, old seafood, and an ancient cult have in common? The sleepy seaside town of Innsmouth of course. See, it all started with the mysterious disappearance of one Suzanne "Suzie" Moore. Straight-A student. Captain of the high school cheer leading squad. Most popular girl at school. Voted most likely to be kidnapped and probably murdered. The police couldn't find any trace of her except for a strange puddle of green water by her bedside on the night she disappeared.

Things have only gotten stranger since. Some of the townsfolk have accused their neighbors of having... changed. Not in terms of their physical appearances but their mannerisms. Some have become shut-ins while others display weird erratic behaviors, even violent tendencies. It's like an "invasion of body snatchers," claimed fisherman and local town conspiracy theorist, Dan Mulberry. But maybe—just maybe—he isn't simply blowing smoke with these claims.

Now a journalist has arrived to investigate the abundant curiosities that plague this once quiet town in hopes of uncovering the truth of it all. But this is not a story of simply one person. This town will soon be visited by all manners of interesting characters whose stories will inexplicably intertwined with one another. And all of these characters playing their respective roles will contribute to solving the most important mystery of them all: what the hell happened to Suzie Moore? But take heed, because something sinister writhes beneath, awaiting the end to a long slumber...



Welcome recruits. You've all been specially selected, due to your unparalleled skills and performance demonstrated in your previous missions, to participate in Project Legacy, which was established back in 1950 and is an ongoing project to this very day. Before we continue, a word of caution: we can neither guarantee our support nor the safety of either your physical or mental health during the duration of your time on this project. Those who wish to withdraw from this assignment may leave the room now. But for those who stay, I can promise that you will be witness to horrifying and extraordinary things. Things that will shake the very foundation of your grasp on reality. Now, ladies and gentlemen, read the rules, read the case file, and meet with your handlers for further instructions. Good luck and may God have mercy on your souls.
Kirk Lindi, CIA Director of Special Divisions


-Rules-

  • 1. All RPG site rules apply.
  • 2. All rules of roleplaying etiquette apply.
  • 3. As the GM, I have the final say in any and all decisions regarding this RP. Any disputes with my ruling can be done so via PM if done in a polite and reasonable manner.
  • 4. Any disputes between players should be resolved through PM.
  • 5. I won't impose any rules about how much or how frequently you should post because of things like school, work, etc. But if you're signing up, make sure you're serious about roleplaying this.
  • 6. Wait a few posts before posting again. Give other people the chance to catch up.
  • 7. If you can't be active for a prolonged period of time, make sure to inform me via the OOC or PM.
  • 8. I require the minimum posting standard of the Casual Roleplay section as determined by the site rules.
  • 9. Every player is limited to one character (excluding me) as of now. If you require an exception to this rule, discuss it with me first.
  • 10. The only restricted curse word is "Fuck". Everything else is fair game. Keep romance to a PG-13 level. However, you can be pretty liberal with the use of blood and gore.
  • 11. Post your CS in the OOC first for my review and, once accepted, move the sheet over to the Characters tab.


-Case File-

"What happened to Suzie Moore?"

That is the question on everyone's mind. From her parents, Richard and Elizabeth Moore, to the students and faculty of Innsmouth High School, to the local sheriff department, to us here at the CIA, and even to other third parties. Yes, what are the circumstances of her mysterious disappearance? And that is what we are tasking you with finding out, recruits. From field agent to desk jockey, you all are a part of this now. It's been approximately three weeks since Ms. Moore's disappearance so the trail may prove difficult to pick up. Concern yourself not so much with finding the girl but with the details of her disappearance and document everything you find. Your destination: Innsmouth, Massachusetts in the New England region of the US eastern seaboard. Take a look at the map below to get a lay of the land:

@Blu

Present and accounted for. I'll get trying to get a CS up this evening.

question.

I think I am gonna make a smallish cult - I am assuming I'd be able to control Nameless NPC members of said cult, more or less? Maybe a second in command, too. Unless of course, someone would want to RP that character themselves, which I wouldn't mind at all.

It's fine either way. I can work around it~

@Rune_Alchemist Yes you can absolutely make your own cult as well as control everyone belonging to that cult. No need to make a CS for your second in command as they'll be considered an NPC.

Question regarding rule 10. Why is that the only restricted curse word if we're allowing everything else freely as well as violence and gore unchecked? That feels extremely arbitrary and odd to me.

@ProPro I just explained the same thing to T Risket right now. It's kinda silly but I'm approaching this RP in a cable tv show sort of style akin to things like Supernatural where there are gratuitous violence but they never use the word "Fuck", other curse words are fair game, and the sexual content doesn't go overboard either.

@Blu Huh. In that case I'd find it hilarious for one character to be the foul mouthed jackass that has their curses poorly dubbed over. "You mother -loving- pieces of -steaks- get the -fruit- off my lawn!"

@Zoey White There will be blood. Just not any players' blood unless they want to end their character for whatever reason.

Posted my first CS (one of two) so now you guys can get a better idea of formatting/content.

@DeadDrop Obviously not GM or anything, but I wanted to point out a timeline error. This guy is 21 and your history indicates he shared a sophomore class with the missing Susie. Going by his age, he'd have been out of school for a few years, but the background info we've been given indicates that Susie went missing recently and is still in high school.

Thanks.


I guess that raises the question how much time has passed since the disappearance and the rp start?
