Gloom City

Welcome to Azkanan's "Gloom City"!


..:::Introduction:::..

In a twisted plane of existance, there is a city, eternally in a gloomy setting. North, East, South and West leads into nothingness but a deep fog. People don't tend to go there, because people don't tend to return.
This city is has not been able to go off and begin new villages and such, therefore, they expanded on it's own. As a result, the city is MILES in diameter. This plane of existance, has Day and Night... Day is worshipped and Night feared.
Because in the night, monsters of myths and legends lurk. Blood-sucking Vampires. Lycanthropic creatures. Even Heart-eating Shapeshifters. Other than that, humans and their biotechnical workers live happily in the safer districts.

Gloom City is your typical Dark, Industrial city. (Think... Gotham city, at night.)


..:::Explanation:::..

Ok so, you can choose to be either, Vampire, Werewolf, Shapeshifter, Human or Synthetic. Each creature/being has it's own ups and down.
As one of these creatures, you can strive to be the strongest in you're faction and rise to the top - or simply survive. You can only level up one way or another - Synthetics for example, they can only level up by attaching themselves to a human - as in, to join them. They then earn experience/levels when the Human does.
When you level up, you gain a two points. You can spend points to gain new abilities.


..:::How To Play:::...

Main Rule: ONLY ONE POST PER TURN.
The end of the turn occurs once all players have voted (or If a play doesn't post after a while and we are waiting for just one guy, then we skip his turn).
If you are skipped twice, you are kicked from the game.
In the game, you can go "Hunting" for a supernatural beast... Obviously you are more likely to find one at night.
As for being a creature, you can "Hunt" for a victim, once found, "Stalk" them, or right-out attack them.

As a vampire, you can choose to kill them, or turn them into a vampire (spread the disease)... This will cost experience though - the higher level you are, the more it will cost.

As a Werewolf, you can stalk them, or right out attack them. You can choose to turn them, but it will cost experience.

As a shapeshifter, you can follow them as a bird or a bug, or... yeah. Depends what shapeshifting abilities you have. Shapeshifters can sense their victim's wariness whilst being stalked - so you can tell if they are worried or not. The less worried they are, the higher quality their heart will be when killed.

As a CREATURE, you will gain more experience by killing them without them seeing you first... Or you can go for a dramatic chase.
You will find hunting slum civilians easier than hunting down heavy-armored soldiers... So pick you're targets carefully.


...:: Day VS Night ::...

Daytime will last for 2 turns (So that humans can re-equip and such).
Creatures of the night will not need to post during this, unless there is something they wish to do... Like move location through the sewers, or some such.

Your eyes flicker open instantaneously. Everything is white - the walls, the floors, the scientists, the furniture. Your system begins to boot up; Graphics - The world now has color. Audio - voices begin to appear, at first very Dull, Low-tone, but then adjusting and correcting.

A man's face with crazy white hair and thick-rimmed glasses suddenly appears. the mans face greets you, then his full body is visible in the left of your vision - a program.

"Greetings, number 65402! Your previous model was destroyed in an accident, and now you are to be activated. In this world, your job is to help others with your exceptional powers! You are able to shift things using only your will. Electromagnetic waves are then used to manipulate your surroundings.
Once you have helped humans enough, an interface shall open - much like this one..." An interface pops up and shows you several selections of powers and such, before quickly removed again. "...where you will be able to choose one more power. This system was invented to prevent Synthetics from becoming too powerful, too quickly - causing their system to overload."

There is a short pause.

"Ah, yes, there is a human in need of a Synthetic at Block #72091, Apartment #438, Room #211. His name is "Skell". Good luck, "Redster"!"

The man dissapears.

You seem to be in a lab of some sort. Outside of the clear glass, a window, people hurry about their lives. In this room, you are one of many... thousands... of other inactive synthetics, stored Left, right, behind and even up.

Your built-in map shows you that B72091,A438,R211 is to the North-east.
