I did actually look at the options for Loch, but I'm not sure which one would work so I'll leave it up to them.

@D3AD ST4R Which of these sounds like they would fit Silvio?
• Old friends, who originally met through a long chain of coincidences.
• You went through hell together: maybe a monster, maybe military service, maybe time in an institution. Whatever it was, it bound you together, and you have total trust in each other.
• Members of the same support group.
• You know each other through cryptozoology and conspiracy theory websites.

@fellsing

Hmm, 'You know each other through cryptozoology and conspiracy theory websites.' sounds right to me.

And heres one I chose for Loch (^ ᴗ ^)
'Good friends. Tell them if it’s from way back, or recently.' I like the idea that Silvio became friends with them recently through the websites.

Welcome to the group, @D3AD ST4R. I'm sure Loch will welcome another human into the group who isn't haunted or carrying an axe.

@fellsing

hiya, thank youu!! Silvio would feel the same too with Loch, lol.

Mascot Horror TTRPG: PbtA's Monster of the Week

Oh neat, a new person to randomly threaten with an axe!

@Redking0380

Poor Silvio, hes never gonna have a break in his life

Mascot Horror TTRPG: PbtA's Monster of the Week

I like the sound of all that. I guessing some time around then, Silvio chanced upon O'Malley battling it out with a hunter who was less of a "Protect the people from what goes bump in the night." sort of hunter, and more of a "Hunt what goes bump in the night for sport and hang it on the mantelpiece regardless of whether or not what goes bump in the night was actually hurting people." sort of hunter. I imagine O'Malley would have been making use of his more overtly supernatural capabilities during the fight, which was what clued Silvio in on the existence of that sort of thing.

So how did Silvio save O'Malley from that hunter? And how did Silvio feel about learning that supernatural things were real in this manner?

@rush99999

To answer the questions, maybe Silvio isnt the who fought the hunter but Solana did (cause its impossible for a pre-teen to fight an older professional (´• . •⁠`) ) since shes more reckless and braver than him, but he did help with his sister in some way like dislodging the weapon from the hunter or checking up on O'Malley if he was damaged. He was skeptical about the existence of monsters at first, but after seeing O'Malley doing some weird stuff and the monster hunter, he believed it. Though he was a little afraid that theres entities around that has the power to kill people.

Mascot Horror TTRPG: PbtA's Monster of the Week

Oh hey! A new character! Cool!

In terms of history, I reckon this would be the best fit from O'Malley's list:

"They saved you from another hunter who was prepared to kill you. Ask them what happened."

Oh and just to note, Silvio's history with O'Malley would have to be before Silvio left for Puerto Rico. O'Malley has only recently come back online after being shutdown in 2020 due to Covid, so they would not have been able to see each other in the past two years that Silvio has been back.

@rush99999

Hii!!

Ooo that's very interesting, here's the one I picked out one that seems like a perfect fit:

"They introduced you to the existence of monsters. Tell them how you feel about that."

For how Silvio met O'Malley, I like the idea that he and his family had visited the pizzeria multiple times, most for his sister's birthdays as it's her favorite place (for more info, her name's Solana). While his sister's a big fan of the animatronics, Silvio doesn't really vibe with it, because of how... uncanny they look and act, but he had suck it up for Solana's happiness. One thing he likes about the place other than food is the songs and even remembers some of the lyrics, as his sister would hum the tunes whenever she's in a happy mood ♪(´▽｀).

Oh Hello!

Yes, you can still apply. The group of player characters are still in the starting area. ^_^

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Yay thanksiess, I already have a character in mind, I just have to write the character sheet （￣︶￣）

Mascot Horror TTRPG: PbtA's Monster of the Week

Hiyaa!! I'm so sorry that this seems very sudden, but I want to know if I can still apply since theres a slot opened. I really like the premise of this game (even if im a total beginner, huhu（；´д｀）)

Hello World!!

Hi hi（＾∀＾●）ﾉｼ!! I dont know how to write a introduction, like, I have never done it without a template before.

you can call me star (or ST4R, however you like). Im a teenage lesbian and an amateur artist and writer. I have no roleplay experience but it looks fun to do so here I am（￣︶￣）. I like to read books (Sherlock Holmes is my favorite book series), listen to music, and watch some movies and videos.

Im more of an experimentalist (since its my first time) so I have no preference yet (though, I lowkey want be in a horror roleplay).

Anyways, thank you for reading this and I hope you have a good day, bye!!
