Amnesia: The Dark Descent II

Post by Vivec's Tears »

First of all: WELCOME!

Second of all: If you think you might be very disturbed at torture scenes or whatever, I don’t recommend joining this RP. There won’t be anything extremely graphic, but there will be some messy stuff.

Also, prepare for obnoxious formatting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a horror RP, set in England. The year is 1839. Your character will wake up knowing nothing about their past except their name, and that they are from England. Exactly where is up to you! Both groups awaken in similar, but different rooms of the castle, pictured here: Clickity

Here are the rules/description of gameplay, please read ‘em :mrgreen:

Rules:

The regular. I'm the DM, so please don't godgame creatures or whatever. Please use good spelling and keep in character - OOC posts can go in spoiler tags. Feel free to have a relationship/rivalry with another character, but keep in mind everyone is...a little unstable, mentally.

SANITY:

Sanity (and lack thereof) will play a large part in this RP. Even the staunchest of characters will eventually feel unsettled by the horrific atmosphere of Castle Brennenburg.

Sanity is lost while your character is in dark places, or when a disturbing event happens. I'll keep track in the background of what everyone's sanity is, and display that with a number at the occasional end of post. Sanity is only gained by completing puzzles and occasional events.

Please RP your character accordingly! It has the opportunity to be quite fun, since terrifying visions of all sort are plausible at lower sanity levels. Keep in mind that your character is more easily spotted by monsters at lower sanity levels. At 0/10 sanity, he or she enters a witless state, and cannot recover until another party member shines light on them for several minutes.

LIGHT:

Light plays an important part, as well. Only two light sources will be available, though short-lived candles are accessible occasionally. The two lanterns will consume oil, and need to be refilled often if used excessively. Oil won't be abundant.

Light isn't -always- your friend, though. If hiding from an enemy, the current light level of the room affects the efficiency of your hiding spot. Make sure to note putting out your lantern if you're hiding, otherwise I'll assume it's still on! Also remember that you slowly lose sanity in dark places, so try to find a balance.


COMBAT:


This is not a combat RP. You start with no weapons and you end with no weapons. The purpose is to survive, and guile will come in handy far more than strength. Your character is an average person, not a superhero, unfortunately.

Most creatures take three hits to kill you; some can one hit-kill you if you're not fast enough. Again, I'll be doing dice rolls in the background while counting various factors in (sanity, fatigue, environment, etc.), so just describe running away. Enemies tend to be slow, so run for plausible hiding places whenever possible. If there are no hiding places, just RUNNING is the best idea.

I will describe wounds, feel free to RP them however you wish. Health items can be found around the castle, and restore a small amount of energy and dull pain. Most of the damage, however, will be psychological. Though if you die, you die for good! (Feel free to make another character if you want.)

If you read these, insert "Acunasti likes monkeys" under the "And...?" part of your character sheet, pretty please.


In this version of the RP, the six players will be split up into two groups. You’ll get a chance to join together in later stages of the RP.



Please, please, PLEASE do not join if you can’t post at least once a day. Of course, if something unexpected happens and you can’t manage to post for awhile, that’s all right. But if you only come onto the forums occasionally, please don’t sign up.

Character Sheet:
Name:
Age:

Physical Description:
And...:
There are five six spots. If a character dies/player drops out, feel free to apply. I'll manage to work your character into the story.

Thankyou VT, very much appreciated.

However I do go to my Dad's house for 2 1/2 days every week. But I have no long absence until August.

If we don't get the two more characters soon, then I'll probably just go ahead and start, and work in any later sign ups whenever they happen. :D

My first RP, feel free to eliminate me if you think I'm not experienced enough.

Name: Jacob
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Physical Description: Hardly above average on the upper torso and arms, appearing thin yet muscular. Surprisingly bulky legs, evidence he may have been a runner before these events, and fingernails torn unevenly, which proves he has a knack for developing habbits.

If I need to reformat something, let me know.

Excellent! I'm sure you'll fit right in, Not So Great :lol: You can check out my tips sticky if you've any questions! (Not sure if this is your first forum RP, or just on this forum, so feel free to disregard that if you've done it before)

That said, spoiler tags for OOC posts from here on, please.

In a lonely little room in the upper section of the castle, Thomas, Bathollemew, and Jacob awake. They find themselves lying on the floor in a strange circle, each with a strange, crystal bottle in their hands. Whatever liquid was inside is gone now, but there is a trail of what seems like rose petals leading through the arch at the opposite end of the corridor.

Somewhere else in the castle, Elise, Charles, and Gordon are lying in a very similar fashion in a very similar room, bottles grasped in hand. They awake to see a path of what seems like blue petals leading through the arch in this room, mist obscuring what lies beyond.

Spoiler:
I just realised that I misspelled my character's name. *facepalm* Oh well. Also, question: Do you want us to write in present tense or is it optional? I'll write in past tense for now but I'll edit it if you want.
Barthollemew rose from the cold, stone floor. His muscles were aching and his head hurt. For some reason he was afraid. He didn't know of what but he was quite unnerved. He inhaled and exhaled a few times in order to calm his racing heart. Only after looking around a bit did he realise that he had no idea where he was or who he was. Then he noticed the other two men. For a moment he was startled but he soon calmed down somewhat again. They were oddly familiar.

"W-where am I?" he hesitantly asked, his voice trembling more than he liked.

Past tense is fine, and preferable. ^_^

Do you want me to change it to Barthollemew (if that's what you originally intended) on the char sheets?

Thomas stirred, he rolled from side to side.

He felt a gulp of air rush down his lungs and he flew himself upwards.

Charles woke up with a headache. He looked around and saw two other men lying on the floor. Where was he? Who was he? He could only remember his name.

"What the...?" He said confused

Jacobs eyes flashed open. Last he could remember he was...
"Oh my God!" he whispered to himself, he couldn't remember where he was.
Cold, dim, sore, and seemingly alone.
Jacob is on the verge of panic when his eyes finish adjusting and he notices Thomas and Barthollomew already awake.

"What is going on?" he asked aloud "Is this..." He lost his train of thought, as if the idea of location was forbade by his own mind.

Rising up slowly, leaning on his right arm because his left is the sorer of the two, he waits for a reply from one of the other men.
