Ch. 3. Meggiddo. (Important update! Check the first page!!)

[Mirouni]

Introducing!!!.... The Evolving RP!!

This idea has been on my mind for quite some time now, so I decided I'd give it a go and see how people like it. (plus, let's face it, I've really missed the refuge..)


How this works:
Every week, something in this Rp will change. It could be one of the many NPC's throughout the storyline, a new building or hangout, or it could be something as drastic as the world itself. The purpose of this is to create a world that is always growing and changing, much like the real world does.

Speaking of worlds...:
This is not earth, at least, not the earth you and I are familiar with. Rather it is a twisted reality, filled with creatures both dark and beautiful, mystic and terrifying, ancient, and very very young.

Rules:

--> Basic no brainer stuff, follow all Rules of the guild and Gaia.
--> There shall be no Godmodding!!
--> You are allowed a maximum of one (1) character, I don't want people getting distracted having to control more than one, plus, it makes it more realistic that way. Think of the character as the "you" of this world. (this does not mean that you have to be similar.)
--> Don't be a jerk. If you decide that it is necessary to be a villain, please do so with flair, not blind brutishness. (unless you are a zombie, in which case you will be eventually killed. j/k. no zombies.)
--> What I say, goes. This means that you will respect me, respect my decisions with the NPCs of this RP, and respect my rules.
--> Don't be stupid. This means, no: Cybering, Large amounts of cussing, trolling, trash talking, tearing down, and unnecessary killing.
--> No auto-anything. This includes: dodging, hitting, and movement. the only exception to this rule is for shadows, and that is only movement.
--> All chat should be in OoC. ((Like this)) [or this] *but not this*
--> NEVER use *..* to show an action, no matter what.
--> Please do not post your signatures, it stretches the page and distracts from the RP.
--> I can change these rules at any time, check them often.
--> I follow a two strikes and you're out rule. Break my rules once, I warn you, twice, you're gone.

Story:

In the Darkness of the Night

Darkness, something that every human must deal with each day they are alive. Many people fear this thing, which could be attributed to the fact that humans cannot see in the dark, and thus experience a sense of panic when their sense of sight is taken away, and therefore avoid the dark. However, when we are children, and we insist upon having a night light, leaving the door cracked, or even going to the extreme of sleeping with the light on, the reason we fear the dark is not that we cannot see, nor is it even the fear of the unknown, it is something deeper, a darker sense of self, a glimmer of a presence in the corner of our vision, as if something, or someone, is watching us.
When the lights go out we feel a thousand eyes fall upon us, and see a thousand figures moving in the darkness, our parents told us this was foolishness, told us to put it from our minds and grow up, nothing we saw or felt was real, just our imaginations. They were wrong.

--Excerpt taken from the final speech delivered by Dr. Johannes Smith, a professor of psychology at Georgetown University. Shortly after he gave this speech, he was found dead in his room, strangled by an unknown person.

The truth is, shadows are real, very real. They walk among us, moving silently from place to place, completely hidden from the rest of the world. At least, for the time being...

--> put some thought into your character, they are you after all.
--> Pictures should be expressed as a link.
