Shamitako Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Drip Blackness, utter blackness Drip But she was not yet consumed Drop A veil of red protected her Drip ~~~ Welcome prospective players, it is I, Lexi, with another RP. Really this is more of an announcement than an actual interest check, but it will happen faster if more people care So what's this about? Well, (heavily) inspired by my current obsession They Bleed Pixels, I have concocted a system of horrors for you to journey through Each character shall have three common aspects: They shall all be schoolgirls. They shall all possess a strange book. And they shall all fall into the same nightmare. Within these nightmares the girls become twisted versions of themselves, mutilated into strange monsters. To survive falling prey to the nightmares, they must kill creatures sent from blackness in a desperate attempt to survive until morning. Death is guaranteed, and the only way to overcome it is to further give in to the powers of the beyond There's going to be some mechanics to this, but they'll generally be behind-the-scenes. the only time you'll see them is if you're about to perma-die. And they'll largely be based upon writing anyways. Oh, and I'm probably going for a small cast, no more than six players. I want to focus on writing well rather than writing a lot Here's the character sheet if you're interested. PM these to me if you finish before the OOC shows up, don't post them in the thread Name: [Telling the other girls your name is a good way to die, but you still have one] Alias: [A secondary name based on your nightmare form] Age: [From 10 to 15] Alignment: [D&D style] Appearance: [Your normal appearance, gothic colors are recommended of course] Mutilation: [The changes that occur to you in the nightmares] Abilities: [Describe the ways your mutilation helps you survive] Backstory: [How you acquired your book, nothing more] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutoratosu Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Well, rather gungho about this, aren't we? But eh, I'll admit lexi, you don got my interest peaked... yet again. You seem to have a certain knack for drawing me into your projects, idk how you keep doing this. Is there like a wiki or anything for this verse though? The steam page and your description do a decent enough job of giving the gist of things, but it would be nice if there was a place those interested might get potential ideas from without having to actually play the game or anything. I mean, understandable if not, the thing has only been out for a month, but...still, would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamitako Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 Well, TBP isn't much of a universe. The lore to it is fairly shallow and amounts to a collection of cutscenes which tell a fairly simple story. I'm creating an equally bare-bones port of the universe to switch over from platformer to RP. The focus will mostly be on the events transpiring within the dreams, rather than on looking into the world as a whole There's a plot summary on wikipedia that covers the story. And TVTropes pretty well covers everything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noir Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Haha, this brings back memories. It's been a long while since I last played this, so I guess I'll have to do a bit of research to see how things work, but yeah, reserve me a spot, if you could. "I want to focus on writing well rather than writing a lot" This is what also piqued me the most and something I intend to do as well for productivity, so kudos on making this, I'll PM you as soon as I can or ask questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okami Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 TBP has interested me for a while and I just saw it's on sale on Steam, I'm going to check it out. From what I can tell it would make for a fun, brutal rp. I am interested. If I don't break my computer out of frustration with such a difficult game (or so I've heard that it's really hard) but I've beaten Ori and the Blind Forest, I can do this! I hope...
