House of Horrors (Semi-Closed, Sign-ups/Interest)

[Mereshka]

This is now CLOSED however, unless you manage to TG me a very good character, or if many people go inactive.

This here is an idea that I had a ways back, say half a year ago. I sort of shelved it at the time, and have only just now rememberd. I don't quite remember all of it, so a good deal of it will be played by ear. The setting is an old, declining fishing village on the Sylvonian coast. (I asked permission from Sylvonia before hand. I do this as my nation is really not the sort of place for this) It is still a decent size, though fading fast. This fading is due to the plethora of rather gruesome ghost stories that abound, mostly centered on the abandoned portion of town, which is filled with decrepit apartment buildings and boarded up shops.

This abandoned portion however, is not the site of the RP, as one would assume. It is rather an old, abandoned mansion that sits on a cliff jutting out over the sea. (Cliche, no?) This place has more than it's fair share of the ghost stories. And so it is that a group of rowdy teenagers out on the town for some fun, one dark moonless night, decide to venture into the mansion with a video camera, hoping to verify these stories. However, as they get further and further in, some of these teens begin to dissapear.

We will be roleplaying these teens, and I myself will have a few key NPCs as well.

Before I go any further, I have two WARNINGS. NUMBER ONE:
This RP will get gruesome. It will involve scences that may be disturbing to certain individuals. It is unlikely in the extreme that this shall remain PG-13. Consider yourself warned, and don't come bitching to me if you are indeed disturbed (beyond what you like to be in horror, of course)

NUMBER TWO:
Player Characters will die. I will select them randomly, so it may very well be your character. To balance this however, you will be TGed the knowledge of what killed your character, and you shall be allowed to bring them back as a ghost. You may help or hinder the group from then on as you wish, with a few limitations so as to avoid outright god mod.

Now that I have that out of the way, here's a character bio for any sign-ups:

[Sylvonia]

As it's my country, I'm gonna post a character and see where this goes.

Name: Emily Wallert
Age: 16
Year in Highschool(If dropout answer N/A): Sophomore
Characteristics(Anything from physical to personality): Bubbly and will do anything once for kicks. A daredevil who constantly pushes her friends to do things they might normally. Also very persuasive. She's not tall, but not short either with long, somewhat curly brown hair and sharp features softened by permanent laugh lines despite her young age.
Short Bio: She was born and raised in this town and loves to explore the decrepit parts of town. This often gets her in trouble, but as the chief of police is her father, she's never punished more than spending a night in detention.

[Mereshka]

Nope, sorry Syl. I'm afraid I'm going to have to deny you permission to roleplay in your own nation. Because I can.

Hehe...just kidding....I guess....

[Sylvonia]

I'll take that as an "accepted."

[WWII History Geeks]

You sparked my intrest. I'm not sure if you know me, but here's my submittal:

Name: Rawr Girl (no one knows her real name, mostly because she's antisocial)
Age: 15
Year in Highschool: 10th grade
Characteristics(Anything from physical to personality): Skinny, likes to wear all black. Is anti-social and rarely talks, but is smart enough to figure puzzles and such out. Extreme pessimist, and impatient. However, she's not selfish, and unconciously performs acts of kindness (holding open a door, paying off a debt for someone, etc.)
Short Bio: Moved here recently with her pet cat, Oken. Lives with her grandmother and no one else. Previously lived in Florida.

[Mereshka]

Works for me.

[Ursava]

Name: Pal "Brick / Brick Wall" Bakos (Paul Back - o -s).
Age: 18.
Year in Highschool: N/A.
Characteristics:
Pal is a man who considers himself to be a bit of a womanizer: using his toned physique and (what he calls) smooth way with words (Both English and Russian) to try and 'wooh' women to him. He generally also tends to be friendly and is also a bit of a jock: seeming to mock any man who hasn't participated in at least one boxing match or hockey game before. However, his nose shows off how much of a jock he is, not perfectly straight and narrow as the "perfect hot guy's" is but rather it shows visible signs that it has been broken many times (five) before now.

He has black hair that he keeps in a "fohawk" and a thin goatee. He shifts sporadically between wanting to go back to school and not wanting to go back to school: reasoning that he needs a degree to get anywhere, but also stating as an argument that it opens him up to the older women that are out there...or at least that's what he says. Overall though, he's a fun guy to be around and since he does look rather old for his age: his friends can depend on him for beer if they need to.

However, underneath this friendly exterior is a boy that feels betrayed, back-stabbed by his own parents. They were always moving from town to town in his home-country but his father always promised it would never be too severe...and then on his thirteenth birthday they were boarding a plane out-of-country. Because of this it seems like he's trying to stop himself from advancing, almost as if he's scared he might lose it when his dad suddenly decided to move: cutting off relationships he started before they get too serious, he used to purposefully fail some of his advanced classes, and he even dropped out of high school a month before graduation.

Short Bio:
Pal moved to this town from the country of Ursava, hence his odd-sounding name. He grew up in this town since he was thirteen and took up "extreme urban exploration" in the abandoned part of town...though not always. He was occasionally busted for what used to be a hobby of his, breaking in to buildings just because he cae. Sadly since his father was no local police chief he spent much more then just an over-nighter sometimes...but how would he have met Emily otherwise? Heck, they had been cell-mates once or twice even. Pal dropped out of school a month before graduation, surprising some of his teachers and fellow students with no explanation as to why. He still doesn't say why.

Alright, looks good to me mate.

While I'm not opposed to them knowing each other, it is often considered polite or common courtesy to ask another RPer if they don't mind the familiarity like that. Just a little tidbit to help you out in the future.

[Mereshka]

Alright, and here are my two characters:

Name: Lucy Johnson
Age: 17
Year: Junior
Characteristics: A real drop dead looker, with bleach blonde hair and tanned skin, and a very well developed figure, she is known to be very hard to get a date with, but if "caught", so to speak, she's also known to be free with her favours. Friendly enough despite her great popularity, with just a slight tendancy to snootiness.
Bio: She comes from the rich social elite of the city, born into a very wealthy family that would no doubt own the mansion were it not for the stories surrounding it. As such, she has very little notion of the real world, having had nearly everything provided for her.

Name: Nineria "Nina" Johnson
Age: 16 or 17. Claims to be unsure herself.
Year: Junior
Characteristics: While not so obviously gorgeous as Lucy, she is still a very good looking girl, with long black hair and ice blue eyes, and alabaster white skn. She is habitually quiet, and has few friends other than Lucy. She is very close to Lucy however, nearly worshipping the ground she walks on.
Bio: Nineria, or Nina as she prefers to be called, is the adopted younger sister of Lucy. She was adopted by Lucy's parents at around the age of six, or perhaps seven, both of her parent's dying in an undisclosed crime of some sort, which she was witness to. Oddly enough, this did not have a very great affect on her, and remains a fairly happy, if rather shy teenage girl. When asked about her parents, she is known to shrug, and answer; "They're happy now."

[Onekawa-Nukanor]

Name: Tama Hapi
Age: 17
Year in Highschool(If dropout answer N/A): N/A
Characteristics(Anything from physical to personality): Tall, 205cm in fact, dark brown hair and ripped, a quiet kid who dosen't talk alot, usually only when nessecary, unless he knows the person then he his quite funny and likes to crack jokes, but only if he know them
Short Bio:
Tama grew up in Inekawa-Nukanor but moved when he was 12, since then he has always wondered what happned in the derelict part of townand how the rumors started, he hasn't any friends at the moment due to talking only when nessecary to strangers, and has always wondered what happned to his dog,you see he had an German Sherperd but one day when it wandered in to that part of town, he never saw it agian and hopes to find it soon, it was the only thing other than his parents that was there for him.

And if i dont get accepted then count yourself out of my Ancient warfare Rp.... just joking

[Mereshka]

Works for me.

This would be my second RP...so I'm in?

Yup yup. And don't worry about any inexperience. Just don't godmod, and try to keep the writing above that of an average seven year old.

Hehe, alright, you're in then.

[Sylvonia]

...The town isn't actually haunted, just falling apart as people die off or move to bigger towns. But oh well, the rumors can fly.

[Gotter des Krieges]

well, this looks different, count me in.

Name: Matt Francis

Age: 16

Year in Highschool (If dropout answer N/A): Junior

Characteristics(Anything from physical to personality): Matt is a quiet guy who is only outgoing and friendly towards his close friends (If anyone would be kind enough to know Matt TG me. I was hoping he would join due to peer pressure). While normally sensible enough to stay out of trouble he is extremely susceptible to dares and peer pressure. He is wearing a black hoodie and jeans and has long brown hair, which is kept very neat.

Short Bio: Matt grew up in a middle class family that was normal enough on the outside but torturing on the inside. His mother was an alcoholic constantly yelling at him and punishing him for no reason. This really put a dent in his self-confidence which led up to his shyness. It is really hard to gain his trust but once someone has, he is almost devoted to them.

[Ursava]

Can't wait to start.

Yup, you're in mate.

[Mereshka]

Bump.

[Malikov]

Name: Sarah Parker
Age: 18
Year in Highschool(If dropout answer N/A): 12

Characteristics(Anything from physical to personality):Sarah is an extermely determined individual, letting nothing stand in her way. Once she decides on something, she sees it through to the end, no matter the consequence. This behaviour sometimes causes her to alienate people, although this is not intentional.

Short Bio: Sarah is an extremely athletic person. She excelles at sports of all kinds, although she is particulariy good at gymnastics. So good infact, that she participates at a national level, and is considered a prodigy at the sport. Her competitions frequently take her away from school, so she rarely has time for anything else, including friends. Sarah has spent a total of one week at school, the entire year, and has done more home schooling then actual classes. She manages to keep her grades high, through diligant work, but is usually high strung, always feeling as though she is behind on something.

[Mereshka]

Looks good mate.

[Malikov]

So, when is this going to be starting up then? Oh, and will every character die, or will some survive?

[The Ten Kingdoms]

Name: Henry "Hank" Jones
Age: 15
Year in Highschool(If dropout answer N/A): Junior

Characteristics(Anything from physical to personality): He has is of average height, and is slightly cubby. He wears glasses, has dark brown hair and hazel eyes. Hank is an intelligent person, however he tends to be quiet and keep his thoughts to himself. It is often believed by his classmates that he prefers to company of his books to other people as he is almost always seen reading books, and he often gives the excuse that he has to study in order to avoid spending time with others. He rarely speaks unless it’s to answer a question or to make idle meaningless chatter. He is a firm believer that everything can be explained, but tolerates other people who believe in the supernatural (mainly because he just doesn't want to confront anyone).

Short Bio: Hank was born and spent most of his life in one of the nearby cities, but his family moved to the town two years ago because his parents wished to be closer to his aging grandparents. He is the son of a geographer and a network administrator; as such he was raised with extremely high standards in terms of his education. Due to his parents' expectations Hank is almost always studying, and even managed to skip a grade. His primary hope at the current moment is to get into a prestigious university and move away from the town.

You're in.

@Malokov. Tonight sometime, or possible tommorow depending on how ambitious I'm feeling.

[Mereshka]

Alrighty, I'm writing up the IC thread as we speak. Although, you ought to keep in mind that it's a bit past midnight here, and I've had just a bit to drink.
