Bump in the Night (Closed/OOC)

Postby Patrick OConner » Wed Aug 17, 2016 9:10 pm

Since the dawn of time man has been afraid of the dark and what lurked in it. Since the times of myth man has known something lurked in the night, but over time we came to view our once well founded fear with skepticism and scorn. Humanity has learned to once more fear the Night, but things are different now. We have learned to fight, and to kill that which once fed on us as we feed on cattle.
They do more than go bump in the night, they attack and feed off man. They pursue and terrorize him. The monsters of the night see man as nothing more than food and a playthings.
Well, people got tired of the things bumping in the dark. Man Grew tired of the fear, of the death and destruction. So Man gathered its courage and girded its lions and decided to bump back....hard. Over time man learned how to kill the monsters through various mundane and magical means and in time The monsters of the night were defeated and forgotten pushed out of the minds of man.
Today, science scoffs at the ideas of these creatures of the night. Bad ergot, hallucinations, swamp gas and all other kinds of excuses are used to explain away the unknown. Though science has remained skeptical about monsters and the supernatural, you know the truth. As do many like you, you fight, fight to break the status quo that has been held for so long with the cost of human lives and those of other beings.

In America, there are three main factions involved in this fight. Battles and hunts take place outside of America of course but we will mainly be focusing on and in United States of America to kelp keep things focused.

The government of the US of A is a trying to protect us from the monsters. Officially, they refuse to acknowledge them. They do not exist. But someone has to stop them. Enter the agents of FBI's special department. Monster Control Department are highly trained and skilled individuals taken from the Military and other government departments. There job is to track down and kill rogue monster with guns, silver bullets, high explosives and if need be attack helicopters. There job is to kill the monsters and help keep there existence from the world concealed so as to prevent panic and other forces of exerting control over man kind.



Ordinary people that have had an extraordinary encounter. You were attacked by some monster of the night and now you know the Truth. What are you going to do? Why go hunting of course. You can hunt alone or join a company of other Hunters to make more money. (only company in rp currently is called Monster Killer Conglomerate.) You get paid cash from the government to kill monsters in the form of bounties and get contracted by other to take care of special issues. But you are forced to do all this in secret by Big Brother, because he does not want the existences of monsters and magic know to mankind. Just like the Government goons, you track down the creatures and with knowledge, guns, silver bullets, high explosive, and maybe a bit of magic, take care of business. Business is tough but it pays very well. And is booming.


You are the creature of the night. You are far superior to those punny blood and meat sacks called humans. They are you food and playthings for you to do with as you please. If only those pesky Hunters you get out of your way you could do as you please. Or maybe, you feel differently about humans for some reason. You want too fight with them to protect them from the other monsters. So you Hunt them, yourself and defend the weaker humans from the abominations of the night. Either way, you are forced to conceal yourself and keep your existence secret from the government lest they hunt you and from the public lest they panic and kill you. But the private Hunters are more understanding and willing to let you join there ranks in the Hunt.

Rules:
1. OPs and CO OP word is law word is law.
2. Do not be a jerk in OOC, if character is a jerk then by all means jerk it up IC but not OOC.
3. A little over the top is fine but not to much.
4. No over powered characters. They suck all the fun out of the Rp.
5. No one liners
6. Monsters can be on the side of man but not too often please. (list faction as human in the app in this case.)
7. A more traditional view of monsters is what I am basing most of the monster and there weaknesses with a few slight adjustments.
8. Magic is the only kind of superpower allowed.
9. This Rp will be PG 13 ish. If you do stray into r rated territory it will NOT be Because of Sex PERIOD.
10. Three (3) character limit please. It cuts down on confusion.
11. Banned Powers: Absolute teleportation (must be heavily limited by something), Mind control (unless agreed upon to be plot relevant), Cosmic Awareness( to compensate raise characters IQ and tactical ability), Omnipotence.
12.Have fun and good hunting.

As stated earlier a lot of the mythos will be heavily based on classical sources and superstitions with a bit of modification as I see fit but will assuredly be logical and though out.*
1. Silver is the jack of all in superstitions. All other worldly beings are somewhat vulnerable to it in varying degrees but were creatures and vampires are especially vulnerable to it. More so if it is blessed.
2. Fire is special. It provides warmth and light is a force for both renewal and destruction. Were creatures and those creatures of the night are vulnerable to it as well.
3. Articles of Faith can repel and injure other worldly beings but this is not because of the symbols but because of the faith that a person has in them. Faith in the ultimate triumph of good versus evil and all of that.
4. Regeneration will be limited to a certain extent. This is due to the Law of Conservation of Energy. It takes energy to replace and repair damaged flesh, undead or otherwise, and it must come from somewhere and as such it will be in limited supply and/or some lost in the process.
5. For the purpose of this Rp alchemy will be considered the blending of Magic and Science.
6. Extension for rule 4 is to the magic. I.E. it takes energy to do things and that must come from somewhere etc etc.
7. Were creatures will by default have weaknesses but also certain strengths such as enhanced scenes, reflex, speed and regeneration even when in human form.
8. Your characters can use magic, however the stronger the magic and magic user they are, the more technological unfriendly they are. Meaning that the more magic power the less tech they can use. A full blown wizard will cause everything electronic to go haywire easily and other technology to foul up more often.

I can do that easy. Might do the wolven one just to use endemic creatures as a base since this is the US.

Is crossover stuff allowed?
“It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed hungry person. True freedom can only be where there is no exploitation and oppression of one person by another; where there is not unemployment, and where a person is not living in fear of losing his job, his home and his bread. Only in such a society personal and any other freedom can exist for real and not on paper.” -J. V. STALIN

As is she will stuck in the monster faction, without a doubt. And have a bounty slapped on her, large one to be sure very lrge, which means more hunters after it. And the they will be packing big gun, like anti tank cannons and the goverenment will be bringing its attack choppers. Have fun with that

Tehincally yes. alchemy is a combination of Magic and Sceinces as I understand it. so it will be allowed. I will add that in the rules.

Side note. I am continullay editing the Orginal Post and adding stuff t in namely in the game play section as they occur to me. Please be aware of this and read it. Also feel free to suggest things to the OP and Co Op. They may make it into the rules. We are human and therefore flawed and can not think of everything.
