"Growf!"
The Age of Lovecraft is upon us. The world has been cast into a perpetual shadow. Creatures of Lovecraftian horror have entered our lives. Gods of Cthulhu horror have laid claim to our world. It is truly the Apocalypse.
For those who have grown bored with the zombies of Walking Dead, this world may be for you. (Personally the walkers lost their appeal when they became no more than part of the scenery.)
The RP is set in about 2030. It will have a little of the feel of Fear the Walking Dead in the the arrival of the horrors will be recent. Martial law will be in effect in many places. There will be cults, raiders, gangs, Us/Them mentality, paranoia, madness, etc.
Characters
Characters can come from all walks of life. However, as this is to become a group, think of the ethics of a group like that seen in Walking Dead. Survival will be the goal - of the group. Loners are generally not going to survive for long.
Design Considerations:
Think about who your character was before. Then maybe come up with a backstory and evolution to their current state. You could be an ex-cop, military, a waitress, paramedic, etc. Skills will be important, so think of these. People have hobbies. Take some guy who played a little too much AD&D and was a computer geek. Suddenly his skills may be useful. However, OP is not what I am looking for.
Multiple Characters
I strongly recommend one adventurous type of main character, one less so, and one expendable. We can always meet new characters in the story as we go. Cannon fodder will be almost a necessity. Think Star Trek red shirts. Token walking corpses.
Faith, Magic, and Psychics
WIP
Magic comes with a price. This usually involves sacrifices and the corruption of one’s soul.
Faith.
Psychics. Being a psychic is its own price. Being sensitive to psychic energies also means being vulnerable to it as well. While you may be a great early warning system, you can also become a liability. No telepaths for the group please.
Character Sheet
Yes, I will require one per character.

Lore
I plan to create a bunch of creatures. Up to you guys whether I make these public for all to read or not. I will at least have pics and descriptions. To be honest, I have some source material available, but have yet to read it. Sooo, I have no idea how lethal the monsters will be … yet. (Winces and braces for the sounds of screams and monsters feasting on human flesh…)
I plan to have cults evolve. This will mean the possible arrival of evil gods, Ancient Ones, or other servants.
NO, this is NOT a dice based RP. The pics I found were from a tabletop rpg. I just like the pics and basic descriptions.
Posting
3rd Person, Past Tense
Modest literacy, decent spelling and grammar
Good content. A few good paragraphs at least.
Please don't hold up the RP. I understand real life issues. (I have a 70 hour work week that leaves me exhausted, and a couple major illnesses. But I still commit myself.)
