trigger warning.
This roleplay is based around a fictional radical religious community (cult). The lore and beliefs of this community include acts of abuse (mental, physical, verbal and emotional), excessive or gratuitous violence (such as suicide and human offerings), self-injurious behaviour, gaslighting, manipulation, heavy religious text and belief, and torture. The belief system and lore of this fictional community is not a reflection of myself or other writers participating in this roleplay.
the backstory.
In 1910, Moon Ji-U stood before his Presbyterian Church and declared with great vigour that we were all sons and daughters of Abraham. The room roared, exploding into songs of worship and praise. This was his crystallizing moment where he saw his future before him. Brothers and sisters, coming side by side of each other and living out the promises that their Lord had planned out for each one of them. But there was something in the way: society.
Japan had just effectively annexed Korea with the Japan-Korea Treaty, and the Japanese were starting to take the arable land. Ji-U could sense that something bigger was going to come; something much worse. So, as he stood there making his declarations, he put through his plan. They were all to sell all their belongings; sell every piece of material possession they had of this world. And that they would move into the land. They would build their own houses, hunt, grow their food, and start their own community; live the way that God had intended for them to live.
This was the beginning of Abraham’s People Community.
Over the span of one hundred years, four generations of families lived within Abraham’s People Community. No electricity, no running water, no cars, and absolutely no contact with the outside world. Those who lived in the outside world were corrupt, evil, and were not humans. Abraham’s People were the only humans left on this Earth and were replaced with the Enemy in accordance with Moon Ji-U’s teachings. That was the reason why they stayed in this town they have created for themselves.
The boys of the town spend their day at school and their free time learning how to hunt with the older men and discovering the land that they grow their crops on. The girls, however, spend their days learning how to be housewives, being educated on how to clean the house top to bottom, cook mouth-watering feasts, and how to please their future husbands. A woman’s role in the world was to bear children and to submit to her husband. The man’s role was to provide for the family and protect. This is why it was so important to whom your spouse was to be.
Every Daeboreum (The first full moon of the year; Day 15 of the Month 1), Moon Chin-Mae – the leader of Abraham’s People, which was passed down to him from his father – pairs up the selected singles within the town to be married. If you were between the ages of twenty-one and twenty-four, you were eligible. Chin-Mae has the final say in whom is matched with whom, whether people like it or not. After all, he was the chosen messenger from God. This year Daeboreum is quite special, for Chin-Mae’s only son – the future leader of Abraham’s People – was to be wed to a special someone. And once he was wedded, he would then be told all of the family secrets; to become the next leader of the people.
holy ground.
the plot.
This is just your average, ordinary cult roleplay.
In our story, it circles around the lives of our six main characters who are matched up to be wed. As The Son is being wed, he is now able to find out all the secrets of Abraham’s people; and he does not like what he finds out. Gathering his best friends (The Hidden and The Tricked) and their new wives, he announces to them that he plans on escaping the town and beyond the mountains. The best friends make a pact that they will escape together (with their wives coming along because the top rule of Abraham’s People is for women to submit to their husbands). However, escaping this community isn’t as easy as they first thought it would be.
If this gets enough interest, I will create the character sheet and OOC pages, along with a lore page for everything you need to know in regards to Abraham's People Community.
guidelines.
one.
Follow all RPNation rules. Respect everyone, fade to black for erotic content or extreme gore, and be mature with sensitive matters. Of course, there will be violent scenes and potential murder scenes involved in this roleplay. However, all of these scenes will be kept to a PG rating, or writing in full details on our discord.two.
Because of the themes of this roleplay, writers must be 18+. As much as I hate not being able to open it up to everyone, this roleplay will be exploring dark, adult themes.three.
There are five positions available. It will not be first-come, first-served. Characters will be accepted based on who will make great additions to our plotlines. There are three female roles and two male roles available and all are character locked due to the plotline.four.
This storyline is based in a rural area of South Korea; the founder of Abraham's people was a Korean pastor in a very well known Christian movement in Seoul before convincing over 200 families to move to create their own establishment together. When creating your character, they can either be from the original families that came so many years ago, or a part of the "new waves" (families who have been brought in and "saved from the demons" - these "new waves" families are forbidden to discuss anything of the outside world, or risk having their lives - and their family's lives - in danger.) This also means that you are not required to create a Korean character; your character's families may have travelled from all over the world to join the Christian movement prior to their move. Or maybe they were tourists in Seoul who were pouched by the "special operations" team.five.
Discord is a must for OOC. In the server, we will discuss plot lines, NPC development, create a map for the community, and various other roleplay related agendas. We will also be spending time bonding and getting to know each other a bit more!six
Expectations of posting? Well, I understand that people can get busy with real life. However, I do ask if you could try posting at least once a week to keep the RP alive and the story moving. There will be no posting order (unless discussed in the server and everyone wishes to proceed with one), and we will break the roleplay up into "chapters". I'd love for the word count to at least hit the 500 word mark. Don't just give us a bone: we want some juicy meat too please. If you're unable to post within the one week timeframe, all I ask is that you let us know prior so we don't think you've fallen off the edge of the Earth.seven.
Realistic face claims only, as I like to create pretty aesethtics and will need to be able to look up your character's face claim! Also, please ensure you do your research with face claims (for example, don't have a Korean character with a Japanese face claim, with the character having zero blood connections to Japan)eight
Communication is the key! If you're strugglign with something or need to take a break - let me know! Also, I know personalities may clash or you might struggle to plot with someone. That's okay! It's natural! But it gives you no right to be a horrible person to someone. Please communicate with me if you're struggling so we can resolve it!nine.
You are in no way required to use bbcode for any aspects of this roleplay (character sheets/in character posts etc). If you do use coded sheets or posts, I ask for them to be mobile friendly. If you have any issues with any codes at all, let me know and I can help to create/fix them!ten.
