View Full Version : [Thread Recruitment] A Darkening Deep

Sounds of a great hammering rose from the message boards throughout the city of Radasanth. Posters flew up on bar-room walls and back alley bricks. The papers offered untold knowledge and great profit, if just a few adventurous souls cared to take up the challenge.




I set forth soon on an expedition to the far reaches of the land to enter the lair of a monster too terrible for my words to aptly describe.
I seek out able men and women, those who are knowledgeable in the the eldritch arts, or even the simple tradesman looking to broaden his horizon.

Seek out Ben Adelphar, in the meeting hall of the Arcane District. There, shall more details be provided.
Beware, this expedition may be fraught with danger or simply a walk in the park. Consider yourselves warned.



A Darkening Deep will be a thread that's half monster-hunt, half fight for survival. I've wanted to try my hand at something that's more D&D like, with my character being set to the side and used more as a plot device, and manipulating other elements to make a story rather than writing it all from one perspective. The plot is going to be vaguely Lovecraftian. Not too tentacle-y but mildly so. I'm hoping to be able to direct the thread to one of the more Lovecraft-esque settings of an alien realm and work from there.

If you're interested, feel free to throw your name down below, and I'll take some people in.

Note-I am definitely establishing a rigid posting order (if only to help myself remember when I need to post because i'm notoriously bad at that.) It'll probably be based upon the order people register for the thread.

-Nev (tentative)

-(this spot only if 4 people are interested, but i doubt it)

Amari would probably do decent with this. Especially with a few things that are coming soon for her IC wise; If you need I can rekajigger her level up too. since I am due for doing that for her. ahah. Tentacles? well, amari has snakes that come out of her back, thats.....similar

If your up for a bratty vampire assasin and bunny ghost girl being on board, then add Rianna and her current bunny girl trainer Ayami to the list. Also itd help Rianna learn to survive better then she can at the moment.

Oooo take Ven. He needs a bit of fighting just to survive in his life. It would be a good lesson.

I'll take all five of you, but with that it might be slightly longer between replies. This also means that your character may die, but in this canon, you'll instantly be absorbed into the fabric of reality and returned to your proper home.

Note, during intros I may edit my first post slightly. I will attempt to refrain from edits then on.

It might almost be, like waking from a nightmare, one might say.

If it's this tricky maybe a Phi would help? I've been wanting to actually kill her off so ... This could be an opportunity. :D

-don't worry, she's coming back-

--->also Nightspoison >.> Rianna is a vampire and Ayami is technically already dead as a ghost bunny girl lol so I think they'll be fine lol in this, they are technically not alive in the first place so yeah lol its all good!

The Huntsman
01-08-2018, 02:31 PM
It... doesn't matter? Since from what I am seeing, living or dying in this thread wouldn't be permanent in the first place.

Philomel

I am going to stick with Vixen and get her some run time.

Right so: How was message spread for aid? Is it up to our discretion how our characters are getting involved?

Amari

I'll get a post up in the next day or two, just finished up the back to back events i had on. :D

Amari, you can post, as Nev seems to be preoccupied with other life matters/is sick.

Amari
02-01-2018, 09:58 PM
Nevin is sick. I am aure he can get a post up soon. Give the poor guy some time haha. He's been very sick dor a week and it's finally breaking. I'll give him another day then post

Venex, would you post?

Venex Apara
02-21-2018, 08:33 AM
OH F-

Yeah I'll get on that

Amari
02-23-2018, 01:54 AM
OPk so question:

In this realm would they look different? Since its more of a mental/spiritual plane would they look like how they perceive themselves or how their souls/spirits are? Or am I looking too much into this~?

Itinerant
02-23-2018, 06:32 PM
The world is shaped by a combined force of the demon-y thing, and your own mental images. So you'd appear how you'd look in your character's self-image.

Philomel
02-23-2018, 06:33 PM
Oh. Oh.... Um. Hmm. Yeah Vixen is going to be unicorn a lot then.

Venex Apara
02-25-2018, 04:31 PM
Huh, Ven is going to have a great appearance in the dream world.

Amari
02-26-2018, 10:49 AM
Mari's self image for others reference: (as I assume others would see what they perceive themselves as)

Mari sees herself as walking death ahaha oops.

Her blackened skin looked as though she were a delicate porcelain vase that had been broken and glued back together; angry red cracks pulsated and glowed beneath skin that flaked off and disintegrated. Crimson hair flowed in an unseen current around her. Her eyes are difficult to differentiate from her blackened body, if not for the faint red glow of her iris. Around her chest, where her heart would be every so often there is a glimmer of gold that is barely visible. The red beneath her skin pulsates almost as though it is alive. She has no clothes on in thiis form but any erogenous areas look all but non existent (Think like a barbiie doll! ahaha))

That should hgelp when peeps writing hopefully

Philomel
02-26-2018, 11:14 AM
Damn Stare needs to meet Amari and use her True Sight on her.

Amari
02-27-2018, 02:24 AM
yay more people for Amari to sit there and mope around in front of.

Nevin
02-27-2018, 01:42 PM
Hunter is bestial, kind of wolf-like but not any wolf that ever really existed on earth. And silvery glowing so that will be fun. Oh, and he'd be dripping blood pretty much all the time.

Philomel
02-27-2018, 03:41 PM
I go back on that. Vixen is not going to be a unicorn as she appears (as her alter ego Unicorn). I think she will probably appear as something of two beings, to represent the two sides of herself, or as something akin to this:

Hey Nev, if you’re back from your sickness, mind posting? Or we can skip you this round if you’d like a bit more time

Amari

Amari
04-12-2018, 11:08 AM
no I mean,
That's what my character would do

'HE TOLD ME NOT TO TOUCH THE WALLLS... so therefore... I shall touch them, Ain't no old man tell me what to do!"

Ok, since some people are apparently dealing with real life stuff (Nevin, nightspoison, and Venex), i'm gonna temporarily toss them out and invite a new set of people (except phi and amari, who are welcome to stay.)

I'm just really getting back into the idea of this story and wanna see it through.
