 This is a place trapped between nightmares and reality. Without reason or warning you awake to find unfamiliar surroundings.
This house holds many terrors from the unexplainable sounds such as breathing or distant screams to the demons that inhabit it. The demons are after vengeance. Although it's likely you have ever met these beings before, they want your life - to end your life - to feel better. It brings them a sweet dose of euphoria. Bliss. What you don't know is that they won't stop. Your life won't change that happened in their original life and so their pain will remain forever. Consider yourself a 'random sacrifice' as it is unlikely that you will ever be free, but in turn, neither will they.
Your 'stay' will not be pleasant, comfortable or relaxing. On the plus side you will not feel the need to eat or drink, although you will still need sleep, and you will be dressed in clothes of your own subconscious choosing. You see, the force which brought you is the very force which keeps the demons stuck within the house. So long as you stay alive the demons are content to chase you around and feast on your fear and on your life. If all these... sacrifices were to stop the demons would grow even more discontented. They might even be able to escape the house. So, you see, your life is protecting others, albeit you do so unwillingly.
Peering out through a window reveals the time of day - well, the one of reality. Inside however, even with all the curtains opened and lights on, it is dim. Bright enough to see your way, to see details but dark enough to hid things in the distance and whatever lies at the end of the corridor.
But what of the monsters? I'm sure you're just dying to know about them. The monsters in the house, besides trying to kill you, will enjoy tormenting you. They can slowly vanish into the shadows in the house and disappear for a good deal of time, however when they are ready to reappear they do so in their last known location. It appears that there are some rooms which they avoid for some reason.
This introduction is made from a number of letters which can be found around the house.
There are only one way to escape this place - if you are human that is. If you kill ten demons you will find your neck heavy as, quite by magic, a thick gold chain appears around your neck upon which there is a key. This key is used, not to open a door, but to 'transport' you home where you will awaken with memories of a terrible dream. To use it you must only wish to to truly return home. Even if stolen, this key will only work for you. This is your prize.

 General
→ Gaia ToS
→ Post at least once a week in this thread or in the OOC.
→ If you're going to be absent PM me to say so.
→ If you wish to reserve a spot in this roleplay PM me the completed reservation format (find it below) and link me to some samples. Samples can be in a thread specifically for your samples or a roleplay you're currently in.
→ The title for all reservations should the name of any colour.
→ After four days of your reserve I will send you a reminder; after a week your reserve will be deleted.
→ Profiles must be PMed with the title of: But it wasn't me!
→ Unless you want to be a demon. Then your PM must be titled: I want you breathers!
→ You can have up to three characters at one time.
→ Your character may be a horrible person, but in the OOC you have respect for everyone.
→ Drama, violence and aggression may exist in the roleplay, but not in the OOC.
→ Character images may not be photographs of people. Anime, sketches, realistic drawings and the like are accepted.
→ Character images can be substituted or enhanced with a detailed written description.
→ Demons can be, but are NOT limited to, being killers in their previous life.
Posting
→ When you do post aim for at least 5 sentence, but no more than 5 paragraphs.
→ Do not use colours people cannot see.
→ Decorate your posts if you wish but do not make your decoration bigger than your actual post.
→ If I feel your picture is too big (i.e. over 500x500 pixels) I will ask you to shrink it and you will.
→ If I feel your post decoration is made too bloated by lyrics, poems, sayings, icons, etc then I will ask you to edit this down. Again, you will cut down if I ask you to.
→ Do not use so many [list] tags or right/left aligned images that your text is very narrow.
→ So your posts should not look like this, this, this or this.
→ If you like this thread please click the '<3' button. Thank you!
In Game
→ Your character can die.
If you are absent for two weeks and do not notify me your character will be murdered. → If your character dies you are allowed to create a new character.
Some characters may become 'ghosts'. They are not aware they are dead and go on normally as they will continue to be a physical being. The only way to tell if someone is a 'ghost' is to check their pulse as it will be constantly racing at incredible speeds - stuck in their last moments of life. A ghost may disappear after a while or when they have accepted their death. You must PM me if you wish this to happen. → Humans may attempt to kill each other (but do not kill without permission)
→ Demons only want to kill humans although they may 'play' with them no real 'friendships' form. Even the most well mannered demons would take great pleasure in ripping the heart from your chest.
→ Demons may interact with each other.
→ You can kill a demon by destroying its heart or brain. Use your imagination to figure out how to accomplish this. stabbing it straight through the chest or chopping its head off
If / when you do so go to Post Action > Random Number > Generate a random number between 1 and the difficultly of the demon - if you get 1 then the demon is destroyed if not the monster will stay down for an hour but will 'regenerate'
→ You may find the letters from the Introduction in the roleplay .

I want to give you all the ability to add parts to the house but to help everyone conjure roughly the same image here are some bullet points that are 'set in stone'.
Large mansion
→ Old wooden floors.
→ Peeling wallpaper.
Ground Floor
Kitchen
→ Gas stove (doesn't work)
→ Some cupboards are completely empty while others hid mouldy old food
→ The fridge does not work although occasionally it makes strange humming noises...
→ The kitchen is fully equipped with scissors, knives, cutlery and crockery.
→ The water runs slowly from the tap and constantly drips.
Dining Room
→ One long block like wooden table.
→ Some of the chairs are displaced and looked as though they were thrown or kicked around.
→ There is a total of 14 chairs.
→ This is a 'safe room'. The demons will not enter here.
Lounge
→ Old fashioned arm chairs are scattered around with matching sofas.
→ Two large book cases - some of the books have been knocked down and lay littered across the room with some pages ripped out.
Bathroom
→ You don't want to be here.
→ This is a 'safe room'. The demons will not enter here.
Second Floor
Large bedrooms
→ There are five of these
→ Each is furnished with a king sized bed
→ There is a small en-suite with each
→ Every room has a wardrobe which holds only one or two garments left over before the house's abandonment
Single bedrooms
→ There are three of these
→ They have a queen sized bed
→ Each has an empty chest of draws.
Luxury bathroom
→ Free standing bath and a shower in the corner
Study
→ Old desk with ordered stationary
→ A few old letters - they offer no information and will not help you
→ This is a 'safe room'. The demons will not come here.

[size=14]《 Character Name | [color=#a44c86]♀[/color] or [color=#313978]♂[/color] | Age 》
Personality Trait • Personality Trait • Personality Trait • Personality Trait [/align][/size]
PERSONALITY ↘↘↘
[size=9]Write 1 - 2 paragraphs here.[/size]
BIOGRAPHY ↘↘↘
[size=9]Write 1 - 3 paragraphs here. Tips: Their job and education may be important for mentioning any skills they have. The most recent years of their life may be more important than their childhood. [/size]
✁⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
IM OPTING IN
[size=9]If you 'opt in' then, from your personality and biography I will assign you a number akin to the demon's 'difficulty to kill'. This means when a demon attacks you with a possibly fatal attack they roll a dice. If they roll 1 then you are dead. If you are unhappy with the number I assign you (from 1 to 10) then we can discuss what you could add in terms of traits and biography to improve your difficulty.
You do not have to opt in if you do not want to. If you don't want to have a difficultly number (you decide what is fatal and what isn't, but again you can't dodge everything) leave this section blank. [/size]

PERSONALITY ↘↘↘ [color=white]xxx[/color]
[size=9]Write 1 - 2 paragraphs here.[/size]
BIOGRAPHY ↻↻↻
[size=9]Write 1 - 3 paragraphs here. Tips: Their past and personality are the reason why they are here. Where they always a rotten apple? Or maybe they were just your average person who was pushed too far in life? Or perhaps you are the spirit of a business man whose rejection of death brought him anger and pain which landed him here?[/size]
DIFFICULTY ❶ ❷ ❸ ❹ ❺ ❻ ❼ ❽ ❾ ❿ (delete the numbers you don't want. 1 is the easily to kill, one fatal attack from a human and you're dead. 10 is the hardest to kill.)
✁⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
WHY IM SO TOUGH
[size=9]Why is your character so difficult to kill? There are no 'magical powers' in this game. Demons can be stronger, fast, heal quicker etc, but these are accelerated human qualities. Tips: Perhaps your character is very witty and likes to take its victims while they wonder off alone and in the shadows? Or maybe your characters is strong enough to defeat most who come against him. Think up your own reason. Don't make it too powerful and don't godmod. If your reasons don't convince me then I will reduce the difficulty of your character (or even offer you an increase).
