Supernatural RPG : At the end of times.


This group will be based on the Universe of Supernatural, the TV show, and the RPG that inspired it. I have taken a few liberties while adapting this universe for the purpose of seeing this group active, in allowing more than just Human Hunters as Playable Characters.
The originality of this group will reside in the fact that Original characters are strongly encouraged, the location will be New York and its vicinity, and the timeline will be 2013, allowing any actual -or current- political events to be taken in account.

The Background :

"This is the end of the world as they knew it !!! After centuries of battle, after the long waiting for the prophecy announcing our coming, the time has come. We are starting to stir. The Earth will be under siege soon we are manifesting, looking for a key to open ways to our realm, Hell, and precipitate the Apocalypse.
While Angels are still our most recognized enemies, the growing lack of Faith of the Mortals have made Angels weak. Weaker than before.
Vampires and werewolves are present in the Cities of Men, but self-centered on their own situation, eaten by decadence or scattered after multiples inner wars between nests or packs.
Faeries, witches, sorcerers are too few to realize what is happening and will only be the witness of the darkness coming..."

-Abaddon, King of the demons of Hell speaking to his Legions.

Rules :

1- This is a freeform rpg, meaning that beside the rules stated below, the integrity of the game will rely on every player's writing, realism and common sense. The GM may intervene if asked, but it is strongly encouraged to remember that no action attempted will automatically success. Consequently : Godmoding will not be tolerated, no characters are invincible.

2- There shall no be OOC drama in this group. This is not the purpose of roleplaying

3- No character may be killed without the player's permission.

4- This is a plot driven RPG, the players are however invited to bring and develop their own storylines, NPC or ideas as long as they mold in the global setting and plot of this game. On another note, adult situations will be tolerated but shall not be the sole purpose of this group, where storytelling remains the priority.

5- A player could create and have up to 2 Characters in the game. NPC are encouraged, their number should stay reasonable. Original characters only ! the GM may use canon characters from the TV show, however they may appear under different form/shape/vessel.

6- The minimum required for posting length will be 2 paragraph of 5-6 sentences. Please maintain a correct level in spelling and writing. Players should be able to post twice a week.

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide
Vampires

A vampire is created when a person ingests vampire blood, but the transformation is not complete until they feed on human blood. Once turned, they suffer from bloodlust and must feed on blood, human or animal, to survive. Unlike folkloric vampires, they do not require an invitation to enter a home and are not killed by sunlight. They also prefer to live in packs in locations called nests, and will mate for life. After death, vampire souls go to Purgatory.

Little has been revealed about vampires, such as their organization in mortal society. All vampires originate from the Alpha Vampire. A vampire's appearance is that of a normal human. However, they all have common features, such as sharp, pointed, retractable teeth that emerge from their gums and extend beyond their human teeth, and immortality.

Within a city, several nest may coexist, even try to live along Mankind. Inside a nest, political games are frequent between the vampires belonging to the lineage the closest to the vampire Alpha in order to be recognized as their Prince/Queen and leader.

The hierarchy within a clan is divided :
- Guardian of the Blood : noble, purest lineage, the closest vampires to the Prince/Queen, playing the role of advisor, courtisan.

★ Siring control : all vampire turned must obey the one who sired them. The vampire who possesses this ability can also maintain a mortal under a « doll » state by feeding him/her with an insufficient amount of their blood to fully turn the mortal into a vampire. Under this state, the « doll » is stronger than a normal human, but is addicted to the vampire’s blood. These « dolls » are often used as servant, messenger, etc..by the vampire.


Weaknesses (All)

★ Beheading: Beheading is the most used method to kill vampires.
★ Dead man's blood: The use of blood from the recently deceased can also be used as a method to incapacitate vampires briefly.

After becoming one, they hunt down humans and they kill them to feed on their flesh. When they do so, they leave a recognizable trace on their victims that can be considered as a typical feature - they always eat the heart.

Werewolves are organized into pack with only two Alphas and two Betas, one male and one female each. The Werewolves that are closer to the Alpha up to the fourth generation are referred to as Purebloods and are usually the Alphas or the Betas of the packs.

Pack unity is very important to werewolves, and as such, so is their safety as a group; no individual should leave the pack home alone, even if they wanted to, instinct would drive them to seek company, if only to ensure their safety. Similarly, the Alpha or Beta wolves would never be left alone outside of the pack home, even if they ordered their pack wolves to stay behind while they did so.


Attributes (*mandatory, HU : may access this ability under human form as well as wolf form, in addition to * choose 3 from the list)

Witches/Sorcerers
Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide
Witches/Sorcerers

Whilst anyone can practice magic, witches/sorcerers (normally, exceptions do exist) have greater knowledge and power over harnessing mystical forces. Witches/sorcereres have existed for many centuries, and are found in many races' lore. The source of their power is stated to be most commonly demons, in doing so the demons gain their souls. It is however also possible to learn witchcraft without outside help, as some witches have been shown to be self-taught; in fact, some witches/sorcerers have been stated to have nothing to do with demons whatsoever.
Witches commonly form covens, but this is not a necessity. They are also often social, and meet with other witches. This is not the case for the male counterpart.

★ Hex Bags:
Hex bags are small devices crafted to a specific person, purpose or spell. They are usually small bundles of material wrapped in skin or hide. Most hex bags are not so much the spells themselves as much as they are a component of a larger spell, typically used as a targeting device for greater magic. The components of a given bag depend entirely upon the objective of the bag’s creator and the various spells they are using. *

★ Dream Root: Silene Capensis also goes by the name of African Dream Root. It’s said to be able to induce vivid dreams in people. Hunter lore states that when Silene Capensis is consumed (typically by making a tea from the plant) with a piece of the body of someone else (such as their hair) they can enter, share and even control the dreams of that person.
Beautiful dreams could be made into the most horrid of nightmares and vice versa. Someone who was strong enough within the dreamscape could induce a person into a coma-like state, causing them to live or die within the reality of their own mind, memories, perceptions and all that that implies.

★ Iron - It appears that some, of if not all, of a witch's powers can be blocked with iron, as James couldn't astral project until his iron chains were removed. Likewise, he most likely couldn't use magic to escape, as he asked Dean and Sam to remove the iron chains.
★ Witch Killing Spell - A spell that Bobby taught Sam and Dean; once prepared, it kills any witch it hits, and makes it impossible for them to use magic to protect themselves. It has a very small range, as it killed one witch but left another who was standing only a few feet away unharmed.

Wraiths

A Wraith is a type of supernatural creature, that feeds on human's brainfluids and can infect them with high doses of dopamine. It is shown that the best survival site for a wraith would be a psychiatric asylum, as it is the perfect place to feast on a regular basis--not only the patients' brains, soaked in dopamine, are delicious, but no one in the staff would believe them if they claim that there is a monster killing them. As other supernatural creatures, wraiths can look like typical humans. However, their real faces can be seen, and recognized as wraiths, when they are reflected on a mirror. Their true form is that of a humanoid creature with a rotten face.

Attributes
★ Infection :.
Infect people through physical contact, and make them psychologically unstable so they can suffer from severe hallucinations and episodes related to their inner problemsHowever, when the wraith is killed, the venom has no longer effect.

Weaknesses
Wraiths are relatively easy creatures to kill, mainly because of their extreme weakness to silver.

I love the Supernatural TV Series! I am quite interested in joining here, thinking about even an Angel character or a Hunter character. I hope you get more interest as well.

Huge Supernatural fan -

Right now I'm considering a male witch/sorcerer - pretty old and barely riding the line between good/evil. (There's not many 'good' ways of staying young forever! :D )

I am really excited about this idea, but I'm starting to think I might be overtaxed.

I don't know why I felt like it was important I post this. Basically just: "this is a cool idea", I guess. Not sure how much encouragement that really offers...

Er... Go you!
Like what you see? I am currently looking for new plots!

Untax, untax! :D Get an accountant or something!

You're one of my latest one-on-one scenes, so you can't really say anything!

One could argue that you're ENTIRELY to blame. *sagenod*

DOH! :) Speaking of which... soon!

Anyone who is interested in this idea if you wouldn't mind sending me a writing sample I would appreciate it.
Me and mainsnoires are working on this idea together, so if you could send samples as well as character sheets it would be quite welcomed.

Rogue

I missed what the expected post rate was when I read earlier and I'm out. Sorry hon. Otherwise... can totally handle the two paragraphs just not always the twice a week.

Awesome, working on it now.

Why did I have to read this?? Now I can't resist wanting to play! *whines* I lost track of Supernatural after season 3 or 4, will that hurt me?
This doesn't have to end in a fight, Buck.
It always ends in a fight.
You pulled me from the river. Why?
I don't know.

Bekah Boo

No it won't hurt you at all.

As we said, this is based off of Supernatural so any cannon characters will not appear except for maybe demons of special name and such.
So this will be all original characters with supernatural myths so no pressure at all.

OK. I must have missed that when I read through the posts. :-)

This looks like a lot of fun. Are there any restrictions on OCs? Like race? (And by that I mean white, black, European, etc.)

Not a problem, it happens.

Hmm race is completely fine and yours to do what you will. We have the several sort of classes (angels, demons etc.) but everything else is completely of your own.

mainsnoires

Hello and thanks for a great response.
Everyone interested in the game should work and send me or Bekah their Character sheet filled.
To answer your question Persephone, and strengthen Bekah's reply, there are no restriction of race/ethnicity in the game.
First post was edited with a list of NPC character that could be encountered in the game.
More to come !

Landshark

Very interested but had a few quick questions:
1) Are the characters to be a working group?
2)Is the point to stop or simply survive the Apacolypse?
3)How knowledgable would characters be of the situation? (angels/deamons of course have the situation as a whole but everyone else?)

Thanks in advance! :)

Bekah Boo

1) Could you clarify what you mean by working? As in the characters are situated in their 'normal' lives and therefore blend in with society?
2) It would depend on what character you choose really, Amazons remain neutral and therefore are more inclined to survive verses a demon who would be quite hell bent on trying to speed up the process.
3) As for everyone else perhaps they would know in broken pieces, witches are a bit more inclined to follow the words of demons and maybe are able to pick up a few tidbits here and there. Humans would obviously have no clue, though those who magical maybe would hear some whispers of truth.

I hope that helps a little,
No problem I'm excited to have people interested in the idea.

Landshark

So this will be Very freeform then. Everyone kinda doing thier own thing and learning whatever they happen to stumble into then? Hmm seems like that would be very chaotic though if the DM can swing it is pretty cool. Im gonna have to wait and see on this one i think.

Bekah Boo

Hmm it is quite a free sort of story, but all the characters will be sort of drawn to a single source (You will find out later) thus making them encounter one another whether it be good or bad. If that makes sense really, it might sound a bit chaotic but I'm sure it'll be great.

Landshark

Yet another question. Would be allowable to use a name that was mentioned in the series. There are several hunters mentioned that are never encountered or shown in any way.
Just curious

Bekah Boo

Although we prefer original characters for this story, I suppose one that is merely mentioned wouldn't hurt either. The main idea was we didn't want a famous Sam or Dean in the mix, but if you like you can use a mentioned hunter I don't see the harm.

Orange Marmalade

All good info :) Will there be a lot of room for free form/social type play as well in addition to the storylines?

Landshark

Sorry i tend to ask questions that dont even pertain. The idea of an Amazon is cool sice that ep was on rerun today. Then again so many ideas swell to the surface hehe

Bekah Boo

Yes there will be room for social play, although in the midst of the downfall of the world it would be more so casual passing as our characters hunt for supplies and such.

Oh no you are fine, please ask as many questions as you would like. Lol oh this will be an interesting roleplay considering all the types we have, I would love to see how people play certain ones out.
