Elias Fiore (played by sinspired)

Just outside of the capital city, in the countryside, a massive ball is being held in a mansion, built into a mountainside, that seemed to appear as if overnight. No one knows who the host is or what he looks like, but everyone who was invited is showing up -- and everyone in the neighbouring towns was invited.

Of these neighbouring towns, fifteen individual people have been sent special invitations at random.

A small key is included, but the letter reads:

Dear ________,

I cordially invite you to attend my opening gala this weekend. All citizens are invited, but I encourage you, ________, to attend in particular. You are number ___ out of fifteen to receive this letter and the key enclosed.

Bring with you this key, but let no one know you have it! You are special. I have selected you to participate in a small adventure and competition with a not-so-small fortune at stake. Whosoever wins this competition shall have your name engraved on my will, and upon my death, will be entitled to everything I own.

The key unlocks the wine cellar, wherein you will find your companions and the people you will be playing against. Let no one see you enter! More than fifteen people entering the cellar will immediately disqualify all of you. I will communicate with you through letters. More will be said upon your arrival.

Best of luck to you, and I look forward to seeing you at the party.

--La Renard


You are one of the recipients of this letter. One way or another, you find yourself at the party, and amoung the sea of people, you find the cellar door...

Inside, you find your companions, but it quickly becomes apparent that not only is the cellar door locked, but the games are not as innocent as the host made them seem. A massive labyrinth crawls inside the mountain, stretching farther than anyone really knows. Fantastic species of plants and small animals run the entire labyrinth, hiding the periodic little outcropping of an empty house or shack, but it slowly becomes more and more clear that not all fifteen companions are out for the prize.

One of the fifteen competitors is the host, who has a sick fascination with death.

And he's out to kill all the others he's brought with him.

--

This is an idea I came up with a little while ago! A basic rundown:

Seeking:
Fifteen other characters. I may accept more under certain circumstances! All characters must enter the cellar alone, unless you have a situation you would like to ask me for an exception for. I will consider all exceptions, but please do not be offended if I ask you to modify it or deny you the exception. More often than not, I will approve more than one character per player or more than fifteen players.

A diverse cast of characters! There are no race or character type restrictions.

Proper grammar and an effort to speak proper English. I understand if English is not your first language or if you use a translator. I would prefer it if you could keep threads going in paragraph form, as the more you write, the more interesting replies tend to be!

Characters whose players may be willing to kill them off in this RP. Elias is a murderer, and he loses his fear factor if deaths don't happen! You are not required to kill your character if you join, however.

Medium: I will be starting a group if I get at least fourteen other players to say they're interested. This way, we don't have to try and manage one thread with fifteen or more people on it.

Time preference: Preferring long-term commitment and interest, with players who are active.

Setting: This is up for debate! At the moment, I have no clue exactly what the setting might be. At the moment, I am leaning toward either a modern, alternative Earth setting, or a fantasy setting.

Rules:
No godmodding. I understand that not all characters are human and would be able to overpower a human easily. Your character must have flaws. Communicate with your partner(s) and find out your boundaries, especially if your characters are fighting. Do not control or assume someone else’s character.

Play nice. A character’s opinion may not reflect that of the player. If you have a problem with a specific player, please politely bring that up with them out of character.

Tag your NSFW and obey laws! This is pretty simple. I’m not against smut occurring and totally understand that smut may happen in this RP. Please make all smut thread titles NSFW: Whatever Thread Title You Want, even if it’s not happening immediately. Please, please, please ensure that all participants (players and characters) involved in smut RP are over 18.

My character, Elias, is the murderer/host. I would prefer, if someone decides they want to be the one who discovers Elias is the murderer, that you contact me first sometime after the roleplay starts.

Yes, if you want to, you may work with Elias once you figure out that he’s the murderer! Again, I would like this to be discussed with me before you do this.

Character deaths must be posted on an out of character thread as advertisements! If you would like to or are okay with killing your character(s) off, post it on an out of character thread, so it may be discussed who kills your character and when.

Got questions? I’d love to hear them! Please post if you’re interested!
I'd be interested :3, though I'd ask if I could use two characters, would that be okay? If need be Message me to further discuss things if there's a problem :3

Wow, I'm glad so many people were interested already! I hope we get more soon, too!

As for those of you already here:
  • I've started a group and spent most of the day giving it a basic look! The name is temporary (I'm taking suggestions!) but it's there for you guys to check out/join even though we won't be opening until we have a good amount of players. http://www.rprepository.com/group/group.php?gID=1326&page=2933
  • I still haven't been able to choose a setting, so I'd like to spur some discussion. What sort of setting would you guys prefer? Historic fantasy? Modern? Low-fantasy?
  • If you take a peek at the site, you may notice there's location slots! If you guys have any ideas for locations within the maze, let me know!

Well, considering how my charcater is a weird hairless anthropomorphic thief a fantasy setting is probably necessary XD
I'm not sure which character of mine would best fit this setting. Probably Lilith as I'm not as attached to her, but I enjoy playing her none-the-less.
I'm interested.

@BloodWriter Glad to hear it! Feel free to go ahead and apply with whichever character you'd like!

So, I'm thinking we'll actually open the RP when we have characters from 10 different players. As a general oversight, after some thought, unless anyone objects, the setting is going to be general/low fantasy, in the modern time. So there are guns, computers, et cetera, but there may be minimal magic (nothing too powerful, please). Therefore, wifi exists...but in the countryside, there is no reception or wifi, so cell phones and computers may not be used to escape. That way, our anthro races can feel right at home ;)

Ok, In that case the other character I was interested in using might not work XD She is very dependent on magic and such
Oh gosh. This sounds really interesting. I'm game. Save me a spot until I can get home to find a charecter who would work.

Not a problem! Just go ahead and apply to this group when you get the chance!

Only three more characters left to join before we can open!

One more! But we'll still be open for as many characters as want to play after that! New characters are always welcome!
