So, I’m about to enter into my last week of college for the semester, and am not taking any summer courses, thus my free time is about to immediately spike. As such, I’ve decided I would like to host a new EAB RP. I’ve been out of the game for awhile, so if I miss a tidbit of required info here or there, remind me and I’ll put it in. I’m also going to be expanding into RP elements I’m generally unused to (those being a high powered modern scenario), so this RP may be a bit experimental.
Title: Pending
Setting: Modern
Power Level: 5-8 (with 9’s accepted on a case by case basis) but it should be noted, higher level characters may have a bigger advantage towards the end of the RP, though really the character choice is yours.
Special character note: It is strongly advised that characters submitted have a stable if not strong sanity/willpower, as weaker minded characters may find themselves incapacitated early on. (Chances are, you have an idea where this RP is going now.)
RP Description:
It was nothing of this earth, but a piece of the great outside; and as such dowered with outside properties and obedient to outside laws.
~H.P. Lovecraft "The Colour Out of Space"
The planet earth has never been a safe place. Often times it finds itself invaded by aliens, demons, primordial elements, robot uprisings, an infinite number of invasions have left the planet in constant war not just with itself but with any that seek to threaten it. One alien race noted that humanity is akin to cockroaches. They didn’t realize how true their statement was, as humanity never seems to crumble, and if it were to approach near annihilation, the race would jump back up from the brink of extinction, rebuild and replenish. However, there may be no return from this invasion.
Somewhere on the planet, a rift has opened to a foreign dimension. A dimension so alien that the physics of our realm do not apply to this plane of existence. With the rift’s opening, chaotic events began to unfold across the planet. Starting with a great shockwave, 30% of those on the planet with psychokinetic sensitivity dropped dead on the spot, another 30% went into catatonic states, if not completely mad. At that point, every being on the planet, human or other, suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness, as if their instincts had suddenly kicked off to warn them that they were in danger. Nothing followed however, no grand invasion wishing to remove humanity from the planet, but still the sense of dread hung in the air. Subtle events began taking place, suicides were on the rise, boogeyman sightings were suddenly becoming common, and a general sense of paranoia was present. Little did anyone know, these events would soon grow worse.
Somewhere on the planet, a tear in reality, a rift to The Far Realm had been opened. Unless closed, Earth, along with the entire material plane of existence would find itself under threat of assimilation into madness.
Explanation: I know I have a horrible track record on RPs, both running and participating, that is why I am making this a simpler RP, and not a grand epic like I usually strive for. However, this RP will be much simpler, and shorter.
Background: This RP takes strong inspirations from D&D’s interpretation of Lovecraftian Horror; The Far Realm. As there are a couple of D&D buffs on the site, they should know what The Far Realm is, thus know what the RP might entail. There may even be a couple of Lovecraft buffs on the site, it’s the same idea.
For those of you unfamiliar, here is a brief summary of The Far Realm: An alien dimension of utter madness where physics as we know them do not apply. The dimension and its inhabitants are completely alien, thus even viewing denizens of this chaotic dimension can cause madness, not only to the mind, but to the body. So chaotic is the effects of the dimension on the material plane, that even inanimate objects find themselves contorted and mutated just from the presence of The Far Realm.
There is more to it than that, but like I said, very basic summary. And no, you don’t need to know a single thing about D&D to participate.
This RP wont begin for at least one week, though I would like the gauge people’s interests and any characters they wish to use. I will also answer any questions as they arise.
