How sad it is that you have fallen this far...
The light cannot reach here.
The darkness will drown you.
Sorrow will be the ever-present shadow.
Madness will be the only escape.
For you who have fallen this far,
not even the promise of death can save you.

Premise

What You Need to Know
You are a member of the recently founded Homurahara Occult & Horror Club. As a group, you all have dedicated your time to the study and appreciation of the supernatural. Whether it was out of pure curiosity or genuine interest, you've found yourself a place you enjoy spending your time for one reason or another. After all, it's nothing but harmless fun. However, when the club president calls for an after-school horror-fest, something in the air leaves you unsettled. For the rest of the night, you can't help but feel unnerved in expectation that something is about to go horribly wrong...

Suddenly, the president suggests telling horror stories. When her turn comes, she reveals a tattered book. Wasting no time, she opens it and says, "So have you heard about it? The Legend of the Seven Warriors from Hell?"

Your Goal
Once the game starts, events will develop fast. Your main goal is to keep up and survive. A path will be placed before you, but it may not necessarily be the right one. Your characters will constantly be put to the test both mentally and physically as they struggle against themselves and others. You are to balance this struggle and find the most effective way to make it out in the end.

Specifics

Players are to submit a character profile either through PM or by posting it in the thread. I will then review it and assign bonuses and modifiers according to abilities, alignment, history, and character type. Please bear in mind that powerful characters are allowed, but OP characters are not. This means no MEoDP or Reality Marbles (without proper justification).

Character Info

Spoiler:

Name: Pretty self-explanatory. Your character's name is what they will go by. If they have nicknames, you might want to include them.

Age (Optional): How old your character is. May affect certain bonuses. If no age is given, it will just be assumed that your character is an appropriately aged student.

Alignment: Whether your character is Good, Evil, or Neutral. Will have a major effect on game flow and the options available to your character.

Character Type: This tells if your character is a Human, Magus, or Demon Hybrid. Humans are the weakest, but will be targeted less. Magi are allotted higher magical stats and Will, but will be targeted the most. Demon Hybrids are allotted higher physical stats and sanity, but also run a higher chance of going insane. Bonuses will be given upon approval.

Brief History: Provide us with a brief history of your character. Feel free to draw references to canon characters and events.

Abilities: This is what all your character can do. This can range from broad skills to very precise ones.

Dark Secret: Every man has a secret. Let me know what your character is hiding. Can be mild or really dark. Just know your choice will haunt your character.

Stats & Alignment

Spoiler:

Stats
You have 80 points to distribute amongst your stats. This will determine your character's performance in the challenges to come.

Strength: A measure of how strong your character is physically. If you want them to pack a good punch, this is your stat.

Defense: This stat determines the kind of physical beating your character can take. If you want to plow through everything, I advise you not overlook this.

Magic: This shows how good your character is at wielding magical energy. For the more tactical player, this may prove more useful than strength.

M. Defense: You may not the most resilient, but if there’s one thing you can do it’s withstand magic. The only question now is which defense should take priority…

Agility: Whether it’s moving in to strike or running away from danger, this value is a testament to just how fast your character is. Just make sure not all your strength goes to your legs.

Evasion: You may not be able to get away, but at the very least you can always dodge. No matter how fast the enemy is, if you can avoid them, you can live that much longer.

Will: An oh so important factor in survival: the will to live on. Should it run high, you may tap into a hidden strength. But should it run low, you may find that death is closer than you think.

Sanity: The balance between serenity and madness. Perhaps not the most important thing given the situation…But then again, if one is not able to keep a level head…madness is sure to follow

Alignment
Alignment is the measure of one’s moral standings. In game, a person’s alignment affects how they accumulate Karma and how their will and sanity are affected by certain events.

Good: Increases the rate at which you accumulate Good Karma. Boasts the ability to protect others and survive as a team. Improves team’s will to press onward.

Neutral: Can choose from both good and evil Karma skills. Boasts the power of flexibility. Individuals can better maintain their will and sanity.

Evil: Increases the rate at which you accumulate Evil Karma. Boasts the ability to eliminate obstacles and survive on your own. Power greatly increased when losing one’s sanity.

>Onigokko Assorted Mechanics

I will start the IC thread once we have enough approved characters to start. Through that I'll guide you through the brief introduction, until I take on a more "Director" role in which your only guide will be cryptic clues built into the RP, the NPCs, and yourself. Certain gameplay elements will be explained when necessary.

Other than that, if you have any questions, just ask here. :P

Quite tempting.

I have one last final this wednesday, so I probably cannot make my decision yet.

If I may ask... How much players are you looking for, as a maximum, I mean? And what's the minimum level of activity you expect from them (one post every three days; one post a week)?

[I3uster]

HOLY FUCK RESERVING A SLOT SO HARD

[Verg Avesta]

Hmm, I think I'll also reserve a slot. Premise sounds very tempting.

[Sei]

If I may ask... How much players are you looking for, as a maximum, I mean? And what's the minimum level of activity you expect from them (one post every three days; one post a week)?

At least 7 and no more than 15, I guess. Not expecting a ridiculous amount of players, but I've already figured out how to work with it.

As for activity, at least once a week (without notice) is fair. Life and all. :P

[hero]

Sounds good.

In case people enter like a tornado to reserve a slots, save me one while I think about it, please.

PD: Nice art.

[Mereo Flere]

Sign me up, I guess.

[hero]

Any sort of guidelines for stats, mainly physical ones?

As in, how many points in speed would I need to be professional runner level or how many points in STR would allow me to throw supernatural punches?

[RacingeR]

I am reserving a slot.

Also, I am wondering... does the Magic stat serve a purpose for someone that is an Human or a Demon Hybrid and so on?

Well you have 80 points and there are 8 fields. So 10 would be average. But really, the stats you submit or more of a "base", if that makes any sense. Superhuman stats will moreso be determined by me, based on how I see your character being set up.

For example, say you put 15 into agility. That would be close to track athlete level when compared to the average. Then I'd add on additional points based on your characters background and specialty. So if someone like Shiki had 15, I'd bump it up closer to 25 because of his bloodline and training.

Also, I am wondering... does the Magic stat serve a purpose for someone that is an Human or a Demon Hybrid and so on?

They do. Skills such as ESP or Akiha's Origami would use the Magic stat instead of strength.

[Bloble]

I am reserving a slot, because what the heck I can be in as many RPs as I want to.

But... can we see a sample character sheet, just as an example of what kind of character we can make?

[Sei]

Sure. Just give me a sec.

[RacingeR]

Hmm...

How are spells and demonic abilities decided?

[DB-L]

Intriguing.

I'll make a definitive choice depending on how well my midterms go.

[Lycodrake]

Thinking about joining.
...kind of want to be a human with a heavy book-bag, swinging it around like a mace and smashing heads in. XP
I'm odd. I know.

[DB-L]

Don't forget to line it with steel plates and other hard/pointy objects for maximum effect! xD

Calling it now. Lyco joins as an energetic schoolgirl.

A good number of math or history textbooks work just as well. XP

I'm min-maxing the shit out of this.
Which means I will play an innocent virgin schoolgirl with unrequited looooove.

Nothing has trumped the gargantuan weight, bulk, and toughness of my Organic Chemistry Textbook.


Next thing we know, your character has monstrous strength from carrying metric tons in a backpack. D:
