the nightmares | open & accepting

[nyctomancy]

The room is dimly lit, illuminated by the solitary light filtering from a nearby barred window. The putrid smell within reminds you of human odors; sweat, perfume, the works. It's not a nice aroma, never-less. It's an understatement to say you're scared. Terrified might fight the context here, as the last memory you have is falling asleep the previous night before. Or was it the night before? It's hard to tell how much time as passed. From the groans and moans of individuals around you, you can tell that you are certainly not alone in this circumstance. A door opens.

Twisting around, you can see what seems to be a man standing in the frame, his face obscured by the shadows that wreath him. He has the voice of a speaker; someone who knows what he's doing. While there's not much to be made out, you believe him to be clad in a suit. After a few seconds, he speaks. And there is no mistaking the delighted malice he is attempting to disguise. "Welcome to your nightmares." He pauses then, as if thinking over your next statement. "Where your only goal - is to pass the tasks, and survive." He disappeared, and what was once a door began a solid wall. Thus, The Nightmares begin.

Discussion Thread.

[nyctomancy]

One. Every round a person shall die. However, the person who dies (Who I will choose) will be the one who organizes the map for the following round. That person can then choose what they wish to happen the following round to the characters. We will communicate through private messaging. As it is your map, you can [pm hints] to the characters participating in the map. However, you can not give them the answer. Once dead, you are also allowed to participate in ooc.

Once you die you are dead. Permanently. There's likely that 'special circumstances' will occur at random which gives all dead players a chance to revive a character in the later map.

Your a character dies, I will ask the own the following questions.

What is the map you wish to create? (I will choose a theme, but from there..you're free to do as you wish.)
What three characters would you like to perish most?
Do you have one character you wish to keep alive, but tortured to the brink of death?

Two. Romance is allowed, however keep in mind Tess & Nick's rules when it comes to that. I would prefer that characters form relationships, actually, as it will effect their significant other if one were to die.
Three. Absolutely no godmodding, power-playing, or meta-gaming. Characters will have powers, which will be PMed to them via PM, however, there are special conditions.
Four. Have questions? PM me, this can be a confusing concept. I'll add them to the 'frequently asked questions' part on the front page.
Five. Follow the rules, and listen to moderators I list.
Six. Please be courteous to the other users participating in this thread. If you have an argument, take it to PM. Too much thread disruption can merit you a warning, and then an eventual ban.
Seven. Try to post frequently. This thread is reliant on the activity of it's members. If you do not most for more than three days, it is your character who shall die next in the maps, and I will be organizing it. If you can PM me beforehand, informing me of such events, then you will be excused.
Eight. Post OCC and Character sheets in the discussion thread.
Nine. Follow the rules set down by Nick and Tess.
Ten. Once the first map starts, we will no longer be accepting players.
Eleven. Proper grammar and english required. At least two sentences per post, give other players something to reply too.



One. Your character will experience fear in the maps.
Two. Mary-sues, gary-stus are not permitted. If I think you are heading down that road, I will kindly ask you to rearrange your character, and you will be denied. Likewise, no John/Jane-does. Everyone has a backstory. No amnesia.
Three. The bottom of your Character Sheet is in OOC. Explain to me your character, however not in your character’s view. The bottom of that sheet will help me decide on what power you have. Yes, I do choose the power your character has, however based on what the sheet says. If you do not like it, then I will change it for you. However, I will not change it later through the roleplay. This power will be PM’ed to you.
Four. Use the format I provide for the character sheet. You can guzzy it up, with you wish, but all of that information is required.
Five. Only moderators can have mentor characters.
Six. The maximum amount of characters is two. If one of them dies, and the second is still alive, then you can not show favoritism towards you other character.
Seven. Realistic pictures only.

1. Implosion. [owner]
2. Mystic. [ administrative assistant ]
3. Open. [ pm me to apply ]
4. Open. [ pm me to apply ]

The Maps ::
Each round, all of the characters awake in a map, a landscape based on a fear. For the most part, these maps are terrifying, depending on a character's fear. [ You are in charge of remembering your character's fear. If your character's fear is heights, and the map is heights, then that character MUST experience fear throughout that landscape. Once some is killed, or the map's task is completed by your specific character, then your character(s) are put back in the 'relief' room.

In-between rounds, characters are free to interact with each other at a whim. They are given the freedom to talk, lounge, sleep, and recover from the previous map. Their basic needs shall be provided for them. This will usually be the only time where the characters have a chance to talk with the Mentors, who have experienced a previous round, and won.

The Schedule ::

There is a couple of days before we start the first map, this gives the entire community time to introduce themselves, and gives time for more people to join. After the first map ends, and someone dies, the community will be placed back in the waiting room and they will all face a challenge. After the challenge is complete, and everyone is becoming restless, the second map begins and that is how the series goes on until one person is left, who will then be declared winner.

Actions ::
Almost everything your character does will effect them later. Keep this in mind, as the turnabout won't always be what you expect. Challenges in the waiting room can either help, or hinder your character's chance.

Mentors ::

Mentors are your counselors, after maps and challenges, they will be in the waiting room sitting around. If one of the characters has any questions whatsoever, or is struggling, you would go to one of the Mentors and speak with them. They all have been through rounds before yours, and have beaten the odds.


Mentor advantages;;

-- Can not die in the maps.
-- Can offer advice to existing players.
-- Can give hints about the upcoming map/waiting room challenge.

Mentor 1 - reserved.

Mentor 2 - ♀ - Cherry - 16 - homosexual - Round 2

Mentor 3 - open.

Powers ::
Mentioned in the rules, you will receive a pm upon acceptance, detailing the exact details of your character's power. Powers are chosen upon what you right in your character sheet. If you do not like you power, you can pardon for a different one. However, you will not be able to change the ability once the first map starts.

[size=85]One-by-one, you are pulled into a different room, where you are to be interrogated under the soft light of a flickering candle. The small room is eerie, a barely audible creaking can be distinguished, and you believe you can hear screams in the distance. Unlike the last room, this one smells as if it was sprayed with fresh bleach, to perhaps hide a previous smell. Soon afterwards, the man in a suit starts to speak, this time in a kinder tone. Is it your imagination, or is there a clipboard in his hands?

[b]"Excuse me, but I don't believe you've been properly introduced to me. What is your name?"[/b]
[ answer here, full name. Include nicknames, if any. ]

[b]"You're doing good (insert name here). Now, what is your birthdate, and what is your gender?" (The year is 2014)[/b]
[ answer here, include birthdate, as well as your character gender. optional; include zodiac. ]

[b]"Gender preference, do you have one?"[/b]
[ sexuality, basically. ]

[b]"Interesting. Now, how would you describe yourself to act?"[/b]
[ this is the personality. it has to at least be 1-2 lines. nothing less. ]

[b]"Pardon the room's light, but it's so dim..what do you look like? Do you happen to have a photo of yourself for reference?"[/b]
[ describe your character's appearance. 1-2 lines, at least. there's a space above for the photo(if any). ]

[b]"Fill out this paper for me, include details of your life before being brought her. But hurry up, the time is wasting."[/b]
[ their biography, 1-2 sentences, at least. ]

After handing the paper back to the smartly dressed room, you are practically shoved from the room. A nearby guard walks over, a long black cloth draped in his arm. He hands you the robe, and tells you to put it on. Afterwards, you are brought back to the others.

OOC (Out of Character) portion (None of these are optional, attempt to fill in all of them):
[b]What does your character fear?:[/b]
[b]Does your character see anything, such as ghosts and spirits?:[/b]
[b]How was your character treated when they were at home?:[/b]
[b]How does your character act in scary situations?:[/b]
[b]Have they been involved in a supernatural phenomenon?:[/b]
[b]Have they been in love before? (If so, in a PM I will ask you to explain that person to me):[/b]
[b]Does your character see abnormal things?:[/b][/size][/center]
