FEEL THE BLOOD PRESSURE RISE
Feast… Blood… Find…
PREMISE
The
MESSAGE is scrambled and distorted, but it doesn’t come from any familiar voice, or even a voice to begin with—not that it matters, as you feel the words all the same. Resonate with them. It’s not a command; it’s a request framed as a statement. The message creates an oppressive weight on your chest with its grief. Underneath the grief, however, is a simmering, insatiable hunger. A hunger you can feel in the back of your mouth.
It momentarily cripples you, immobilizes you, and forces your eyes shut, but only for a fleeting moment. Once that moment passes, both the grief and hunger vanish completely and do not linger. You feel like yourself again, but when you open your eyes, you’ll find yourself in a field that you do not recognize surrounded by unfamiliar buildings.
BONJOUR
Hello & welcome to your interest check for
![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
pestilentem, an upcoming murdergame opening on November 3rd. The game will incorporate various horror themes and tropes and is expected to be plot intensive; we are prepared to accommodate no more than
30 players. All characters will be challenged weekly, allowing them to choose to work together or against each other to influence the outcome of the game.
THE BASICS
▸ Characters will find themselves transported to the game's setting from their current canon point moments after they have expressed a desire, no matter how significant or insignificant that desire is. The specifics of how they got here will not be clear to them.
▸ All powers will be nerfed upon arrival and all/any characters who are dead/have sustained a fatal injury will be brought into the game in good health.
▸ Cast caps are set to
three (3) characters per canon. This excludes franchised canons such as the Persona series and Final Fantasy where each specific series will count individually.
▸ Characters do not have to be humanoid in order to be appable; they just have be able to be killed. If you are unsure about your choices, feel free to ask your mods!
▸ While characters of all ages and backgrounds are welcome, we will be taking suitability in mind for this game. Please remember that this a horror-themed game so there will be a lot of sensitive material and content.
▸ It's possible that your character will be chosen to kill, so they must be willing to do so. Characters may also be incentivized to kill on their own. Please keep these things in mind when deciding on your character choices.

Consideration(s):
My current considerations are...!!
🌸 Ninurta from Cavalier of the Abyss! He's my strongest contender for a setting like this. A prince and knight fallen from grace, he's a gentlemanly good boy with a strong sense of justice. Though ice aligned, he's emotional and reactive. He just wants everything and everyone to be okay, but, alas.
🌸 Yuki(nosuke) from Shounen Dolls! My recent brainworms blorbo, he's a literal clay doll that is periodically granted humanoid form to quell the suffering spirits of other dolls. He's polite, genial, pragmatic, and pretty Yamato Nadeshiko - but way too serious about everything, and also a lil weird because being a doll affects how he approaches interactions.
Alternatively, I last minute binge something and swerve, as is my wont. Regardless of who I pick, I will very likely bring in a good boy with a strong sense of right and wrong! So it's ultimately a matter of what flavor of that calls to me.
Likelihood: not even god could stop me (100%)
Concern(s): On Yukinosuke... I'm not set on him yet, but his humanized body is made of clay. For this setting, could he potentially come in with a flesh body.....? I imagine it's not necessary to play, but I am curious just for the thematics of it.
