Zan looks a bit, hm, modern, but I can understand the difficulty in finding character portraits for this sort of thing, so I won't raise a stink over it.

AV, I sent you a PM regarding what I still need from you.

As for everyone else, I'm away from home currently so my availability depends on when I can borrow a laptop or something, but I should have the IC up within the next couple of days.

IC for Nation RP

I'll be keeping an eye on this. Though I will say that map is quite impressive for having been done in Paint.

CHAPTER 1: ODD LOOK

Los Angeles is known around the world as the "City of Angels," but as far as you're concerned, the city should be better known for its devils. Like any big city, it's always had its fair share of unsightly elements, of a mundane criminal variety or otherwise. Well, alright, perhaps a bit more than its fair share. However, since the record-breaking Olympic Games the city hosted three years ago, things seem to be growing out of control. The monsters of the night that previously seemed content to stay within the confines of darkness and secrecy become bolder with every passing day, and are starting to be noticed by the day-walking population. In addition to the usual problems caused by an overpopulation of predators, these activities have been attracting undue attention from forces usually delegated to fixing said problems. This, of course, is putting unwanted pressure on those unrelated to the problem; denizens of night that stay in the shadows and keep well enough alone. The city is a boiling pot of tension, and no one is sure what would happen if it spills over. Many have taken up arms to fix the problem themselves, but not all utilize the most effective methods, and fewer yet have completely pure intentions.

Mount Zion Cemetery

Deep within the shadowed cemetery, lit only by the stray flashes of passing headlights, a lone figure worked. They went about their practice diligently, sowing the earth with strange and foul substances, and muttering in a language best forgotten by man. The specter of the new moon was high in the night sky, nearly at its apex. The proper time was nearly at hand. Finishing their ministrations, the unknown agent went about the final stages of their ritual. A flash of silver in the night, and a spattering of blood on the ground. A curse on their oppressors, and a wish for retribution against them. Rather than stay to witness the fruits of their labor, the dark practitioner fled the cemetery, not entirely sure themselves of what was to come.

To call what followed "good" or "bad" luck would be entirely subjective, but the ritual was enacted flawlessly, and the expected result ensued. A rumbling from beneath the surface of the ground sounded as the soil convulsed and split. Gravestones cracked and toppled as the miniature earthquake continued, before stopping as suddenly as it began. The ground burst open, and forms blackened from mud and rotted from worms crawled up onto the surface. Some two dozen of them, all in proximity of the dark sacrament, rose from their graves, eyes ablaze with unnatural green light. They shambled to their feet and milled about before they caught the scent of fresh and unspoiled flesh, and slowly stalked down their living prey.

Venice Beach

Even at night, there was a constant party on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Inebriated youths frolicked and reveled on the sandy beach, while others gathered around bonfires or indulged their lust by starlight. Laughing and howling, a small pack of them ventured into the waters and chased each other into the blackened waves, Though man believes that he has conquered the seas, another world rests beneath its surface. A world hostile to those that live above it. One by one, the swimmers vanished into the inky waters, dragged under without so much as a yelp. The last of them to be pulled under was the only to suspect anything, assuming that there was a shark among them. Unfortunately, the truth was nowhere near as convenient.

It rose from the sea with slow, unsteady steps. Its slick, slimy body reflected the lights of many shore homes and bonfires, as its yellow, alien eyes peered through the night at its human prey. One of the many tentacles sprouting from its thick body dragged one such prey behind him; the drowned and half-eaten corpse of what had been a swimmer a few minutes before. As it took its tentative steps onto dry land, a silent figure watched it through binoculars a fair distance away. They smiled, knowing that the effort in baiting this beast from the deep sea had been worthwhile.

I'm toying with the idea of Eltanin being contacted by Solas in a dream, but I can conform if need be.

OOC is now up!

It seems like the world becomes a darker place with each passing day. The shadows run deep, and the monsters lurking in them are all too real. It's practically not even safe to be out on the streets at night. Even so, you're not an ordinary person, are you? Though the night his your home, you stand on the side of light. Rather than allow the world to slip into despair, you use your power to protect it. A hero among demons. Yours is the strength to purify the night, rather than corrupt it. Strong as you may be, great tragedy looms in the future. But night is darkest just before the dawn.

This is your calling, a nightcall. It's time to pick up.

GM Statement

My duty, as GM, is to facilitate and moderate a fun and interesting game for all of you. Though I have ideas for the RP's story, they are only ideas, and none are set in stone. I encourage all of you to play creatively and true to your character, as I will never force you down a set path within this game. The direction this story takes is entirely up to you, and I hope all of us can work together to forge a memorable experience.

Rules

Real simple stuff here.

Obey all board-wide rules, naturally.

Try to maintain a semblance of frequency. I don't think a post or two a week is too much to ask for.

Maintain communication with me and the other players. If you're going to be inactive, or you're not sure about something, or if anything else comes to mind, talk to us.

Post considerately. Take into account the plans and feelings of your fellow players in your posts.

Maintain a decent standard of posting. This is Advanced, so I shouldn't have to spell this out too much, but put enough effort into your posts so that they're worth reading.

This is simply for the reference of your fellow players. I may request additional information in private.

The same god, or different ones? All with the same general message, I'm assuming.

So... are we all going to be contacted by gods? You might have to just spell out for us how to start this.

Second Academy for Public Dangers - OOC

Sorry to say, but I don't think I have the time to keep up with this.

Good luck everybody, peace out!

Alrighty, just a little PSA, here. I've gotten all of the Character Sheets that I could want or need, and do not require any more. If you've sent me a sheet already, don't worry, you're golden. I'll get the OOC up with a standardized character sheet once I get a little more correspondence in with a few remaining players.
