Our original story took place in the woods outside of the West Virginian town of Woodview. A simple camping trip with stories to tell has spiraled in a series of events of horror.
However, nightmares still repeat themselves.
Now, a new story in the same world is taking place one year later. Set in a dying township of Kullside, Ohio in the woods of Buckeye Park. Miles away from Virginia, but with unknown fears that linger and serve as dark secrets and memories. Here you are about to witness a setting with similarities and differences, as new characters will return to the mysterious seas of trees. A return to tell...
STORIES IN THE FOREST
II
IC
About: Stories in the Forest II is a sequel to the original RP made with permission from the original OP (Harbertia). To stay true with the original, it will take place in the same world as the original RP with new characters and if lucky, some familiar ones. The plot will be similar, as well. It's supposed to be a simple camping trip in the woods, along with a bit of a reunion with two brothers who hadn't seen each other for a year. But a mysterious force has appeared, leading to several mysteries. Some harmful and some with dark intent.
OP Characters: Ross and Monty Cheow
Not Our World:
Just as the previous RP, the setting is anachronistic to the point that much has changed to separate it from the real world, but still being recognizable. Puerto Rico is the 51st State (as per the 2017 referendum) and rather then the United Nations this world has the United League of Nations, just as the original. VHS's, Cassettes, Records, and Walkmans are still being made, despite the use of the internet and handheld video games still being around. While the setting takes place in the present day of 2019, many would get a 80's or 90's feel from the technology in the world. The original world has been inspired by Life is Strange, Until Dawn, Scooby-Doo, Archie's Weird Mysteries, and Super 8. In this sequel, some more inspirations have been added.
The story will be based around the concept of creepy pastas, where one of the main inspirations will be Slender Man. Around the early 10's, Slender Man was in peak popularity to get some mainstream attention, along with some other creepy pastas, where it led to a following. Even after the events of 2014, Slender Man had been a somewhat cultural icon in the internet. However, his popularity declined around the mid-10's, where many would probably say he was officially "killed off" when the 2018 movie was released. Since creepy pastas can be regarded as urban legends and horror stories to tell at the campfire, Slender Man and the creepy pasta genre will serve as a primary inspiration.
Other inspirations to add onto the world will be Dead by Daylight, Creep 2, You're Next, Local 58, Channel 7, and Stephen King's It.

Kullside, Ohio and Buckeye Park
Character Creation
The RP is rather simple with some added touches from the original. It will start off as telling stories to each other in the middle of the woods as Phase 1, where after that occurs, Phase 2 starts. Phase 2 is the straight up survival horror and trying to figure out what the hell is going on Kullside and Buckeye Park, without getting yourself killed.
