The Eight-Legged Norse Horse
This will be where I host the out of character discussions regarding ANOMALY: Animas. I'm not gonna use fancy formatting for this to make it nice and easily readable.

Updates, info, questions, etc can be shared here!
 
Question because I am in the middle of creating my character, is there a possibility of our characters having to come across this anomaly at one point and possibly survived an encounter before coming together (or the ACB catching on)? Or is this anomaly fairly new?
 
It’s totally possible that your character could have encountered it before and survived, I don’t see any reason in the set up why that can’t be the case! The ACB’s attention was drawn after a fatal encounter and a few more have followed, but that doesn’t mean there haven’t been encounters with it before where the encounterer survived. The ghost totally could’ve been active long before the ACB caught on, given that a ghost story/urban legend exists around it! They just didn’t notice it and take interest in it til something serious happened.

Okay okay okay, are cryptids like Bigfoot/Yeti, Chupacabra gonna be considered a species instead of just one entity or more of a species type deal? Like there are multiple chupacabras and bigfoots instead of just one
 
Hmmm good question. I think it’s case by case and not super clear in every case. Like, in my mind, there’s probably several chupacabras, right? There might be multiple yeti/sadquatch/bigfoot too, since they pop up in lots of different mythologies and regions. But I kinda see a world where there is a Jersey Devil. I see that depending on the critter? Lots of room to play with that!

Yeah that's kinda how I think about it too. There's only one mothman, one flatwoods monster, but maybe multiple loch ness monsters, we just know about that one? I also imagine there's multiple sqonk critters. Another thing would be creepypasta/SCP creatures? I'm not thinking like Slenderman that's probably pushing it, but creatures like the Rake. Or are you sticking to the more traditional things that go bump in the night?
 
I think we think VERY similarly! I love the traditional guys, and I’m a fan of the idea of all sorts of different anomalies being things you COULD encounter. The Rake, SCP type stuff, ghosts, aliens, urban legend/creepypasta-ish stuff all feels like stuff the ACB would be handling. I wouldn’t want any named “mascot” monsters like Slenderman but stuff like the Rake makes sense!
 
Ayyye, I just feel like a lot of that stuff fits in pretty well with your standard goals and ghosties. And SCP is pretty similar to what this organization is so once again, a lot of that feels possible. Like the one ghost train! Ghost Trains are already a thing in traditional lore, so like...

This also makes me wanna watch the Hellboy movies lol
 
Hi, I’ve been stalking this thread for a hot second and am veeery curious about it, but I have a question first. I tried looking for the answer in the various links provided but couldn’t, tragically …

Is there any age restrictions/requirements you have for us as roleplayers? I’m 17 myself and know that a handful of people on RpN don’t want -18 people interacting, so I was just curious :0!

I personally don’t have any issue with minors in my games. I totally understand why some people wouldn’t want that, but in a group setting, I’m just fine with younger roleplayers joining in!

That’s awesome to hear! Thank you for the clarification, I just wanted to check before moving forward and posting a character application ^^
 
Almost done with my application! Just need to finish the history and a couple of relationships, but her CS is up if anyone wants to take a peek!
 
Fantastic! I'm about ready to set a deadline so we can get everyone's sheets done. I'm pretty ready to get going!
 
Spring semester started Monday, but I should have time to finish up my character sheet this weekend. Also, it says medium on her CS, but she can't like, summon ghosts or feel their presence, stuff like that. She can just see them and talk to them. It would be hard to be a ghost therapist if she couldn't lol
 
All good! I have no plan to come in like “You have to be finished BY TOMORROW” or anything. I at least wanted to make sure people have more weekend hours available- I get how busy start of the semester can be!
 
Oh lol, yeah I wasn't worried about that, I just wanted to give an update! I also wanted to mention that, I'm a full time college student and I work full time so my posts are either gonna be late at night or on the weekends, just so everyone's aware.
 
Alright, I think almost everyone’s done, but I’m gonna go ahead and set a deadline anyway because I’m down to give folks a little more time in case new people pop in at the last second since I’m putting this one in the interest check, too, since some folks posted there then took off.

I’m setting the character creation deadline as Monday, Feb 10, EST. Which… probably secretly means “around 8 or 9 in the morning EST on Tuesday.” After that I plan to go ahead and open the game properly. In the meantime, in OOC, I plan on discussing how we wanna open, and I’d love to see how y’all want characters to interact, if you know one another, if this is a first case or not, what have you!
 
I knew I wasn't gonna hit my own deadline but that's alright. I'm going to try to get a starter post up sometime today, so keep an eye out on the IC page!
 
Does my CS count as complete? Schoolwork got away from me so her bio isn't done but I'm pretty sure all the major important stuff is finished. Also ignore the other message, I meant to post it over here

Uhhh did I say "today?" I meant "saturday." I really definitely did. I'm... so good at staying on top of things.

...I swear I'm capable, guys
