A group of unrelated strangers has been transported to Dark City, a seemingly destroyed and twisted city. Your only hope for survival is to follow the orders of the mysterious Mr Butler as he leads you through the city but beware, not everything is as it seems...

This RP will use a system that was used in the other Horror RP I was in, in which the characters will be given a list of choices and you decide which one you will follow.

For example:

A man walks toward you. Do you:

Talk to him

Punch Him

Ignore him


Not everyone needs to choose the same choice. For the above example, some people can choose to just ignore the man but the ones who want to punch him/talk will have to debate it over. For directions, it will work in a similar fashion

Do you wish to go:

North

South

South East


The group can split up and go there separate ways. Since this is a Horror RP, staying in groups is probably for the best...

Haha I don't want to give too much away but it will be twisted. Simlar to Lovecraft style of horror

And as for your character sheet...I don't think they allow those kind of items onto planes so you might want to change that. If you want to have some of that stuff in your luggage, thats fine but the gun, axe and knife would definitely not be allowed

When He went to High School he made the track team and honed his agility and speed. A year later, Tom, being the oldest male in the family, felt compelled to provide for his family. So he put his skills to the test by robbing every convenience store from Hardin to Russellville. What really put icing on the cake was that he got away scotch free every time, no one ever saw him. This of course started his career and he hasn't looked back since.

The items on person are supposed to be allowed on a plane correct?

Can I go ahead and reserve a spot for a character sheet? I'll have it up later tonight if that's okay.
