Invisible Reflections

[Shamitako]

So I tried this elsewhere, and it kinda didn't get started. I'd like to see how it goes here, because I really enjoyed the concept. Couple things though

Firstly, don't worry too much about the warning things, the RP looks pretty strict, but it's still meant to be fun. I just want people to know that I am paying attention

Secondly, the RPs about here seem to have a host format thing, kinda like older tabletop RPGs. This isn't like that. Character may interact freely of my influence, just recall that you can't do anything major with the plot without asking first

Thirdly, some of my terminology may not be what you're used to, don't let that deter you, I'm simply used to a different forums than this

And lastly, feel free to PM me if you have any questions, I'm always happy to answer ^^

Story:

Everything was off...

She looked around, none of it felt real. Even she herself seemed fake. It was like everything she'd ever known was never there. Her mind was overwhelmed, she couldn't understand it. She didn't exist, nothing existed, it was all fake.

He was being watched...

He couldn't shake it, that feeling. Someone was watching him. He could feel it behind him, to the side, in front. But he could never see them. Even when he had crawled into a closet to try to get away, they remained, watching.

The voices were endless...

They spoke to him constantly. Telling him to eat, to sleep, to work. His whole life was controlled by the voices. He couldn't do anything without them, he could only even think his thoughts because the voices dictated them to him. They even told him that he wanted them to go away.

She could see beyond...

Her reflection was no longer visible in the mirror, she wasn't even certain it had ever been there. At first it had been replaced by nothingness. But now, now she could see them. Hundreds, thousands of faces watching her. One of them stood out to her, the one of them that was holding the strings.

Then blackness.

All of them, gone in an instant. One moment there, the next not. None would remember them. Like they never existed

Plot:

You are a character. You don't know it yet, but you will soon. And when you find out, you will disappear as if you never existed in the first place. It will start as an itch, things will feel off.

It will grow, and grow, until the point where you will realize that you are not real. That you are being watched. That you have no control over your life. And that your reflection has been replaced by the truth.

You wake in your bedroom, no memory of your past life, and may immediately begin exploring your new temporary residence. You must try to solve the mystery of this place, before you learn the truth and disappear forever.

Setting:

This story is set in a classic horror film style mansion. Dramatic thunder can go off at any moment, the lights flicker, and hidden passages are everywhere. There is an entry hall, foyer, dining room, kitchen, pantry, library, arboretum, four bathrooms (one in the kitchen, one in the foyer, one in the entry hall, and one upstairs) three closets (one in the entry hall, on in the foyer bath and one just outside the upstairs bath) and a seemingly infinite number of bedrooms along a long upstairs hall (each bedroom has a personal bath and a closet). No one has ever been in the basement, but the door sits just below the stairs going up. There is also a classic hedge maze out back. The entire complex, including the yard, is enclosed in a large black iron fence.

Rules:

--Follow all Reborn rules--

--No Godmodding, powerplaying, and the like--

--No Mary Sues or other overpowered or disruptive characters--

--Keep sexual content, violence, and cursing within the acceptable parameters for Reborn--

--Be polite and considerate of others. If you have a problem with something, politely speak about it over the OOC or PM. If you think someone has broken a rule, don't assault them and try to get people to gang up on them, ask me to have them fix it (preferably over PM)--

--Color may be added to your posts, but try to keep them readable--

--Place character sheets in the OOC or PM them to me. do not post them in the IC--

--Rejected sheets will not be given a second chance. You must restart with a new name, personality, etc. the only things that may carry over are your forum name and the character's gender. This does not mean that you have to start over if I don't accept it, only if I tell you specifically that it's been rejected--

--You may have no more than three characters at one time, you may not have them all three be the same gender--

--Your posts must be at least five sentences long (per character), excluding dialogue. And even then, if I feel your post has not had sufficient effort put into it, I will ask you to lengthen it--

--My word is final. You may politely debate me over PM if you disagree with my decisions. But I will not tolerate backtalk, especially in the OOC--

--Your character does need to be humanoid and look largely human. They can be an elf or dragonborn or whatever, and you can go nuts with things like hair an eye color, just as long as they look mostly human--

--The rules are subject to change at any point as I see fit. I shall notify members via the OOC if things are changed--

Feel free to message me if you feel I have broken any of these rules. And don't worry if I argue, I'm just being stubborn, I'll likely fix it anywhales

Character Sheet

Forum Name: You should know this

Character Name: Formatted: First "Nick" Middle/Initial Last. Only first and last required

Character Gender: Feel free to note their sex if it is different from their gender

Character Age: Must be at least twenty, twenty-five to forty is preferred

Appearance: All their beauty and blemish in a short summary of their looks

Personality: A brief summary, no less than five sentences, of how your characters acts

Other:

I'll be going via three warnings, after three warnings you may not post in the IC until all problems are resolved. If said problems are not resolved, or if you break the rules again, you will be removed from the RP. Your characters will be assumed to realize their fourth walls and disappear

As is my norm, I am always looking for assistance in maintaining RP stability. I could use some OOC, IC, and or character sheet moderators for when I'm not around

OOC mods may issue warnings based upon unruliness in the OOC (posting off topic or being rude)

IC mods may issue warning due to posts not meeting sufficient standards (powerplaying, short length, etc)

Sheet mods may reject and accept character sheets posted on the OOC, though I retain the right to veto when they accept

Accepted Characters:

MasterWeavile898:

Forum Name: Master Weavile898

Character Name: Alex Demarc

Character Gender: Androgynous, but she prefers female pronouns (I've determined to count her as a female character, even though she technically isn't one)

Character Age: 27

Appearance: Alex is of medium height, about 5'5". She has short auburn hair going just barely down to her neck; and long bangs swept over the the left. Her skin is a medium tone, light tan. Her eyes are a piercing green. She has a small button nose. Her lips are thin and can expand into a large, toothy grin. She wears a purple denim jacket with a pink flower design on the left breast over a black tank top. Pink jean shorts over purple tights. As well as black boots and a purple wide-brim fedora. Her right hand's nails are painted lavender, the left pale pink

Personality: Alex is a very outgoing person, she likes to talk to people and learn about them. However, her attitude is largely dampened by the eeriness of the mansion. She's still very outgoing, but she is also quite wary and not all that quick to trust. Nevertheless, she will easily befriend and trust nearly anyone, as long as they don't do anything to set her off. She is also quite frightened of thunder, and is quite likely to jump any time some goes off dramatically

Abilities: Alex is very good at cheering people up. As well as befriending them in the first place; even the edgiest of loners have been known to fall to her charms

Code Word: Mirror

Character Name: Cynthia "Cynth/ Cyn" Bishop

Character Gender: Female

Character Age: Twenty-four

Appearance: Relatively average in terms of height and weight, standing at 5'5 and weighing 121lbs. She has dark ash brown hair kept long, braided simply down her back, ending just over the half way point. She has a heart shaped face with sharp eyebrows and large, unusually red eyes. Her red eyes are very bright and eye catching, she usually wears brown contacts over them but due to recent events, she has been unable to do so. She wears a long sleeved white shirt and red tie underneath a dark grey long sleeved sweater, with the collar and cuffs of the white shirt folded over top and the tie semi visible. She wears a dark grey skirt that falls about mid thigh length with red and white leggings underneath and black shoes.

Personality: Cynthia can be a bit of a prick. She's emotionally detached and has a hard time trying to like or completely trust a person, even though the logical part of her deems them to be trustworthy. She's cleaver, observant and crafty for the most part, normally keeping quiet and to herself. When she speaks she is often very sarcastic and sharp tongued, often snickering or making snide remarks. She has difficulty putting herself in the shoes of another and is, as a result, generally unsympathetic and cold. While she is not the type to toss people aside or betray them, she normally does not take others feelings into consideration and is generally focused on herself. She has a pretty bad sugar addiction as one of her many quirks and she normally stores candy in her sleeves. She tends to favor hard citrus candies.

Abilities: She's adept at playing the violin and is adaptable to situations
