A Gothic Tale

“It was the secrets of heaven and earth that I desired to learn; and whether it was the outward substance of things or the inner spirit of nature and the mysterious soul of man that occupied me, still my inquiries were directed to the metaphysical, or in its highest sense, the physical secrets of the world.”
― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

England in the end of the 1900th century, together from all walks of life and with story's more grotesque and horrible than the mind of lesser man may behold, a group of individuals meet. Was it the guiding hand of fate that brought them there? It may be.

This Rpg is inspired by the Television series Penny Dreadful. A group of Individuals, which can be either based or taken from the gothic literature we all now and love, or be inventions of your own fight against what some would describe as the super natural.

A short list of possible Inspirations:
-Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
-Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
-Bram Stoker's Dracula
-Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray
-The Works of Edgar Allan Poe (Here one would need a little bit of fantasy)

Egregoroi: Action Psychopomps

As someone who was in the same position as yourself, wouldn't you want to help him, rather than just taunt him? I might have been a cop in life, but I don't think I would have turned you in Jimmy, I think I would have sought you help as best as I could. When Oda said that it echoed through Jimmy's head. In another time Jimmy might have appreciated that sentence as a sign of good will but not now. Not in his anger. "And that would have been your mistake.", he simply answered. Countless cops and civilians gave Jimmy a helping hand by buying him food or similar things. Jimmy despised them. They never for just a second cared about him. They gave a sandwich to that poor man, what noble souls they where... And then they all went home to their warm apartments and their flat-screen TV's and patted themselves on their shoulders for how selfless they were...
And Oda was of a special sort. His Mori alone, he was no fair men, he was no good man. He was bully like the ones Jimmy had in his time at school, just with a badge and a gun.

He didn't cause this on himself. You could have said no the first time you tried the drug. Zachary has no choice. You always did. You can't stop needing blood, you idiot.
When Jimmy heard this he wanted nothing more than throw himself at Prudence and Choke her until she would die a second time. The veins on his arms turned pitch black. For years all kinds of assholes looked down on him, seeing him lying in the streets. All had the same look on their face. The same look Prudence had when she said that. It said: You are a looser. You deserve this. You brought this onto yourself. Nobody is to blame but you. I would have never got into the same position. The next words Jimmy said, when Prudence was already out of hearing range, were the most honest words he ever said. "Fuck you. Bitch."

He then simply turned to Argo. "Lets go. We got to find a fucking reaper."

Free reign sounds good

Egregoroi: Action Psychopomps

"Yeah great idea man! Give that junkie another hit! What could possibly go wrong.", Jimmy followed Evangeline out and was now looking at the scene.
He had his hands in his pockets and casually walked to Oda. His Mori was still sitting on his shoulders, flapping with her wings. Jimmy's look made clear he did not like what he saw.
"I have no Idea how strongly a vampire, or whatever he is now, craves for human blood.", his eyes wandered to Odas arm, "But I can tell you, If it is just half as much as I craved my next hit, tomorrow he will rip you open and drink every last drop of you. You don't trust a junkie. You don't lend them money and you don't give them encouragement."
Jimmy wanted to look like he just does not care, it was however quite the opposite. Even though he did not like Zach with all his revenge bullshit he did not want him to die. These people were basically all Jimmy had now and his only clue about what was going on.
"I know it sounds hard but perhaps it is the best if we would restrain Zach for just a few minutes. Let his head get clear."

Empires of the Smokey Skies

Well make a OOC, at least one person will join there.

Egregoroi: Action Psychopomps

I personally like the fact that Zach now has some kind of addiction. It could lead to an interesting story line with Jimmy.
Also chukklehed fellow German here.

Egregoroi: Action Psychopomps

"Vampires? A clan of bloodsucking super humans?", Jimmy began to question this was really a thing he wanted to be a part of. "Excuse me if I sound like a coward or anything but I already died once it was okay but not that good that I wan't to do it again."
He would not join anyone in that business. "If you are on some kind of personal vendetta be my guest but I won't join you. I died in such a way that I can't really take revenge on anyone."
Well you could try to kill heroin. Maybe by taking it all at once. Oh I am sorry, too soon? Jimmy's Mori said that sentence with a creepy but soothing voice, Ooops, did I give away your real death? My bad. Nobody believed you anyway, you told them the story of 'The Great Gatsby', probably the only book you have ever read. If you even can read.
"Shut the fuck up you stupid bird.", Jimmy looked at each individual member of the group, "So what, I am no fucking war hero or a proud model citizen. If you wan't that go to the cops. They already left us to be on their own. Mr. Bigboss here...", he pointed at Ikiriyo, "He is fucking right! We don't have chemistry and I don't think we are ever going to have. This is all a bunch of bullshit! I never wanted to be resurrected!"
He turned his head to Evangeline, "You must understand me! You even killed yourself!"
Then he turned to Lance who was relatively silent, "And what about you! I say we all work together to do the fucking thing we were sent to do and that is it! I don't want any new friends here. Who is with me?"
