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): Current hyperfixations mean I've got Mystery and Abby Sajas from hit Netflix movie KPop Demon Hunters on the brain, so either of them are pretty likely...!
But! Other Swords on the Interest Check have me thinking about Souza Samonji or Yamatonokami Yasusada! I... probably would not catch up to sword canon, though, so they'd be from pretty far back in time, oop. That canon is so far spread that reviewing is intimidating, but I still love those idiot boys!
Other strong canon character contenders for me are Fidelio Metaphor, Eve NierAutomata, and RavusFFXV, but who knows, I could consume some media in the next month and get taken out at the knees...
Similarly, I've got a whole bucket of ocs that could come to the party, and one of them could grab me by the throat. Celeste did, and lol, lmao, Luna knows about that one.
Likelihood: Pretty sure! About 90%, I think!
Concern(s): I uh. Am going to be out of town for the like... first week... oopsie... But I'll have internet, and will be around on mobile as much as possible, so I trust I'll be able to slam in properly afterwards!

but!! as for being out the first week, that's okay. the first week is a sort of "tutorial" week, so you'll be missing out on kind of how the game's structured but it won't impede your overall enjoyment of the game. i trust!!!

Rad...! The reassurance is a big help!
