Araminta, Pennslyvania is a small city set in Williams county, it's in the northern-centermost part of the state. It's merely a stone's throw away from New York state. In the 1700's a man named Richard Williams discovered the land that would be called Araminta. He mapped it out, brought his people there, and eventually named it Araminta after his beloved daughter. It functioned as a military base during the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary war - afterward the base was defunct and is now a tourist attraction. The city's main claim to fame is its railroad system, Araminta's railroad system is the nexus of various railroads in Pennsylvania that connect it to other cities. However, many of them have been retired, and you can barely walk a few blocks without stepping over some railroads. The city has a large train yard that is the hideout for various dredges and degenerates.

Araminta is a suburban city first and foremost - the most urban part of the city is its downtown area. That isn't to say that there aren't businesses every stone's throw away for everyone to get their decorations. The city is full of very nice houses that people flock to if they want to escape the droning city life, whether they are retired or not. Araminta is known for its very nice houses, but the whole city isn't kittens and sunshine. Like the rest of Pennsylvania, Araminta has a heavy drug problem. They flock to the more decrepit areas of Araminta, but those houses may look nice but the people inside of them are not perfect. A large portion of Araminta's city limits is woodlands and inside of those woods are the more remote houses and areas. The train tracks in the woods are known for being the hangouts for drug addicts and other misfits of Araminta. However, the woods contain many secrets.

Araminta isn't an extremely urban city. As stated before it's primarily suburban houses and woodlands, but it's right next to the Williams River. A massive river that was also named after the founder of the city that breaks off from the Schuylkill and Delaware River. As far as demographics go, Caucasians are the primary sight in Araminta with Asians and African-Americans being the second most common sight. Hispanics, Middle-Easterners, and Pacific Islanders are a very rare sight in Araminta. The city is deeply religious to its very core and a large chunk of the population goes to church. If you aren't seen in the church you have labeled an outcast and many of the people there will try to push you out of Araminta. However, newcomers are constantly entering Araminta and as they come their beliefs clash with the beliefs of the locals. Tensions are high in Araminta and this is the kind of place where word travels fast and perception is everything.

Despite the drug problem and the deeply religious nature of the people, crime is relatively low. Most arrests are for petty crimes and being caught with drugs and murders were few and in between. However, lately, the town has been changing.

The evidence board is a collection of all of the supernatural incidents that occurred in Araminta, Pennsylvania. Everything you need to know about the World Unknown is here.

Incidents

---

Here is a collection of all the supernatural incidents thus far. Compiled together by the cast to have some semblance of order and sense about what's going on.

THE HORDE: There has been a string of brutal murders at night. Almost every other night someone has been found brutally slashed to pieces to the point where they are near unrecognizable. However, a few have come in contact with the killer... seemingly a normal human being wearing a leather hoodie and a mask armed with a switchblade and glowing orange eyes. This killer is abnormally strong and fast and few can contend with them physically. A few people have gotten away from it and report this killer having different features every time (with somebody recalling him being a female). The town is on high alert as people dodge this freak at night.

THE BLACK SHUCK: Tying into the above, few people have noticed a strange creature outside during the days and nights. It takes the shape of a dog made out of black fog and whoever gets near it feels a strange sense of apathy. The dog implores you to follow it and it leads to a dead body that was taken out by the Horde. Whoever runs into this beast gets their eye opened, so to speak.

THE MOTH: During one night, there was a horde of moths so thick that it blocked vision. This resulted in a massive car pileup as people were dazed and confused. Afterward, people were literally torn out of their cars by some invisible monster and floated off into the air while the moths obscured vision. Few escaped, but nobody believes their story about what happened or they have not told this tale out of fear of nobody believing them. The moths have not left a trace of evidence other than some missing people and destroyed vehicles.

Welcome to Araminta, Pennslyvania, a small city in the northernmost parts of the state. It's surrounded by miles upon miles of farmland, and it's stuck in between more important places. It has some tourist attractions, but the main thing that brings people in is that it's an idyllic suburban community. People move in for peace and quiet and a break from the big city life. Of course, a town like this has some problems of its own. It's a strangely deeply religious place, it's apart of its history. You'd be hard-pressed to find a business open on Sunday and the locals have a way of handling people who don't fall in. As people who don't have the same feelings about religion move in and cause problems of their own, feuds are becoming commonplace in the town. However, it contains a very dark secret and that said dark secret is going to tear the town apart. Dreams and nightmares made real haunt the night as nobody knows how to deal with it. The few that are trying to figure out what in the world is going on are known as the Ghosts of this little town.

It all traces back to the Preacher.

OVERVIEW

---

Welcome to Recollections: The Fourth Seal. The first spin-off (and prequel) of Vivid Recollections and the second RP in the Recollections Universe. As the opening paragraph explained, it takes place in Araminta Pennslyvania, a nice quaint town that's deeply religious. However, everything is not what it seems. The supernatural has touched this town and strange occurrences are appearing all over Araminta as religion and the supernatural become one and the same. The main focus of the RP is certain individuals who have already come in contact with the supernatural get their eyes opened. They must come together to solve the mystery of what's going on in the town while fighting against the oddities that are going on in Araminta, Pennslyvania.

The RP will be an urban fantasy RP that is normal people going up against Supernatural occurrences, inspired by my new favorite game Lakeview Valley. The RP will feature religious themes and it's primary theme will be Belief. I'm going to leave that theme up to your interpretation, but every character should have a belief of some kind. Nobody is going to start out with any sort of magic abilities, but I want them to develop them in a way that makes sense. I'll explain how it all works later on ^{(or you can just be a scrub and look at Vivid Recollection's OOC but it doesn't have everything)}. Oh yeah, par for the course, I plan on the RP being a bit dark. It is a horror RP after all.

STORY ARCS

---

♦ STRANGER DAYS ♦

---

Out of the blue, a myriad of strange events have affected the city. Nobody has no clue what's going on as they attempt to make sense of it - however, a certain group of people has opened the third eye so to speak. They can understand what's going on, they just need to be pointed in the right direction. Fortunately, there's somebody out there doing just that for them.

RULES

---

1. OOC Rules

^{⋗ 1 . 1 |} Remember that everybody is here to have fun above all else. We may throw a few flowery jabs at each other, but remember it's all in good fun. The Golden rule is: don't be a dick.

^{⋗ 1 . 2 |} That said, remember that I have the full right to deny anyone access to the RP, and I am willing to remove anyone from the RP should they get too unruly. I hope it doesn't come to that, but I'm just putting that out there.

^{⋗ 1 . 3 |} I enforce a policy of not informing people of every time they should post (unless their character is in the middle of interactions). If you go inactive without a peep, I'm not going to babysit you. It's a player's responsibility to keep up with the RP.

^{⋗ 1 . 4 |} Please be respectful towards all other players.

^{⋗ 1 . 5 |} Please do not post a "wip" sheet. I find it very irritating when someone posts an incomplete character sheet. If you want me to read over what you have so far, just PM it to me. If you need a place to work on it just private message the sheet to yourself (or write it on one of many platforms).

^{⋗ 1 . 6 |} This RP will strictly be "first come, first serve." Meaning I will not reserve any powers/character roles/etc, and they will go to whoever finishes their character sheet first. If there's a conflict over it, I will decide the outcome.

^{⋗ 1 . 7 |} Character applications will go into the OOC (where we can work things out) until they are accepted. In other words, the character tab is for accepted characters only. Also, do not "reserve" a spot in the Character Tab unless you were given permission to by me.

^{⋗ 1 . 8 |} Try to keep the OOC active as possible. Even chit-chatting about random games is perfectly okay.

2. IC Rules

^{⋗ 2 . 1 |} No Powergaming, God-Modding, Metagaming, etc, etc... You know, the "don't"s of Roleplaying. You know the dealio.

^{⋗ 2 . 2 |} Let me say now; the story will be pretty slow-paced at times. I have a job and college, so I won't be able to post constantly. If a slower RP is good for you, then go for it.

^{⋗ 2 . 3 |} All I ask for is one post a week. If it's been a week since your last post, your character will be placed into the inactive section until they are written off (mostly by death). Once a character is inactive, however, they are officially an NPC and can be used freely by the GMs, or the players. Unless you give notice of your absence, then your character is off the table.

^{⋗ 2 . 4 |} I am not a stickler for post length. I'd rather have a meaningful paragraph, over an essay full of filler. But, I request one paragraph.

^{⋗ 2 . 5 |} This RP, at times, will get very dark. I plan for it to be a very mature, and down-to-earth Roleplay. There will be death, drinking, drugs, and tickle fingers.

^{⋗ 2 . 6 |} Character death is a real possibility. By submitting a character, you understand that they have to take responsibility for their actions. They will not be bailed out by me and possibly get injured or die. I won't jeopardize the story for one character. They can also be killed by other characters. I won't go out of my way to kill off any character - that I like - but I may injure them for the sake of the story.

^{⋗ 2 . 7 |} Romance/Sex/Whatever is allowed in the RP. "Fade to black" is so beaten into your heads by now that there's no point in even repeating it.

^{⋗ 2 . 8 |} To keep things a bit more organized, please say where your post is taking place at the start of your post.

^{⋗ 2 . 9 |} If you're also expecting me to hold your hand every step of the way, then you're going to be disappointed. This is going to be an RP that rewards taking initiative, and starting plotlines of your own. I'll provide a storyline, but I'm not going to be railroading everyone.

3. Character Creation Rules

^{⋗ 3 . 1 |} I expect some moderate detail when writing your character sheet. Remember, this RP is more grounded in realism, and I want each character to feel like a person. Try to give them a believable past, goals, personality, etc.

^{⋗ 3 . 2 |} If your goal is to basically make the strongest/best character, and try to "win" the roleplay, let me stop you here and say you won't get far. This is a story, not a place for you to wank your OP self-insert. Nothing says "I'm a bad writer" to me than giving your character the strongest abilities (along with an asston of skills). I will not hesitate to ask you to change whatever I dislike about your character sheet.

^{⋗ 3 . 3 |} If your character is a sociopath/psychopath, complete badass, perfect character, edgelord, then they're likely not going to get accepted.

^{⋗ 3 . 4 |} You can create a character of any ethnicity, gender, sexuality, background, etc, within the bounds of realism of course. You can definitely get creative here.

^{⋗ 3 . 5 |} Now, the cast gaining magical abilities is a possibility down the line, however everyone will start completely baseline. I want the abilities people get to feel natural and be apart of a natural progression of their characters and storylines.

^{⋗ 3 . 6 |} I'm not placing a hard character limit, but I'm going to recommend you have no more than three characters. Afterward, you better bring something new to the table.

^{⋗ 3 . 7 |} I suggest writing a description of your character's appearance to get everyone in that writing mood. If you must, you can use a picture. Just no anime. The pictures have to be of real people, or realistic art (but, let's shy away from A/B List Celebrities).

^{⋗ 3 . 8 |} When creating a character, try to be diverse. Look at the character sheets and try to fulfill a role that no one has. No one wants a million street fighters, or nice girls. You can be pretty creative within the bounds of the lore.

^{⋗ 3 . 9 |} Please refrain from tacking skills onto characters. Try to make everything feel natural to your character.

----

Alright, I think we got a solid group thus far. I started work on the OOC, and I decided to make one smallish change to the RP - I'm going to make it set in a more urbanish environment.

----

The vote says towards multiple incidents, buuuuuuuuut what if I come up with like three and have everyone write their characters around it? That way, we get the best of both worlds.

However, this is merely a concept at the moment, I still have some more planning which I'll ask you to do help with.

1. What should the age group for the cast be? I'm thinking of going with an older cast but if you guys want to rock with teenagers that's fine. Just that I don't want to be mixing different age groups like that.

2. Should there be one supernatural incident that the entire cast went through or several separate ones? Each of them has their pros and cons.
