Oh crap, I just saw our pms and I made that mistake.
haha sorry, My fault

It might be cool to try and bring the darkness in early. I saw some post about how it might manifest as one's worst fears like a Boggart from Harry Potter, and that sounds pretty cool to me.

That could be very cool, and it could help further bring out a lot of the OC's personalities.
Or, seeing how the mark was a force that corrupted people, it could also be corrupt-y. But maybe instead of eroding your very being, it just brings out your worst parts. Like, you know how you flick off the lights in the room and there will be a few dots of something left, maybe it's your cellphone charging and there's a little red dot, or one of those Halloween glow bracelet thingies from years ago that surfaced for some reason? Most of your room is just vague outlines, lit up by different sources that are still part of your room.
Maybe the darkness is the same way with a human soul. Think about it, how would you see Sam, with what he is as just a vague outline lit up by his demon blood addiction, his violent outbursts, and that simpering, cold, determined rage? How would you see Dean, if his drowning himself in various alcoholic beverages, his violent behavior, his Hero Complex were the driving traits of his character? How would you see Cas, in light of his pride, in light his belief in the greater good achieved by small evils, in light of his inability to fit in?
It's simple. Change the lighting, and you'd see them as villains.
To me, it would be cool if darkness was the switch that turned off the main lamp in the room.

But then again, I think too much and I'm currently obsessed with corruption. Anything is cool with me, just throwing another idea out there.

[khaleesi,]

way-way-wayward's idea is on point. Omg. I love that so much. You explained it so well, and I'm having a little fangasm over here. xD But, that idea is actually super, super, super awesome, and I think we should play that.

[astro!]

Oh my god that is actually really awesome... I agree, we should do that! So would the darkness have to possess people or something? Or would it just change them by exposure?

I was thinking exposure, and that it wears off after a time. However, the longer you're near it, the less of it will wear off, it that makes sense?
Maybe if you were exposed for a day, you'll be fine, but for longer than that, it's unlikely to wear off completely?
It should start affecting people at different rates, too.

I love this idea so much. It's really going to help character development and omg, I'm excited to play this out. Imagine how it's going to impact everyone. This is going to lead to so many fall outs among the group, then there will be those that will help each other and gaaahh. I'm excited. ^.^

[uncanny valley]

Whoa, this is a really good idea! So how exactly should we play it out? Either scenario really even though I think we said demons for Isaac and Sam's case

[astro!]

Isaac and Sammy should just work a fairly normal case but run into quite crazy's character

One member of Dean's group should go a little dark while they're investigating the supposed vampire nest, and then they leave and snap out of it and have to figure out what happened or something like that

Meanwhile I will post tomorrow morning once I'm off mobile c:

[uncanny valley]

I guess that way makes sense

@khaleesi and wayward should we time skip to them actually getting there?

[khaleesi,]

I feel like Parker should just get really distant and moody, and the two guys are like 'wth', but they know something isn't right.
@saileh; It's up to you guys, I'm fine with whatever. c:
