This is an rp for a story of mine that I think would be cool to rp. The following is all that I have for it…. I reserve the roles of Delnir and the mysterious man in the fog to myself. The characters mentioned in the story are all the characters that I have for this so far.

Rules:

  • I shouldn't have to say that the rules made by andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) apply.
  • Swearing is okay.
  • Violence is okay.
  • Short responses are okay.
  • New names must be in bold.
  • Put a space between paragraphs, as it is easier on the eyes.
  • Proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation is needed, but won't always be enforced.
  • Don't take control of another character unless you a) ask, and b) are given permission to do so.

Available Roles:

  • Delnis

Shadow Storm

The fog crawled through the town, wrapping it in its arms. Amidst the fog stood a single figure, whose features could not be seen. All that could be made out of the figure was that it apparently wore a shroud, and wielded a long axe. The figure seemed to stand at a height of 6’9”, and had the silhouette of a man. The man and the fog walked through the cold, dark town. The air was silent and still; not a single citizen was out. The windows in the small reddish-brown brick buildings were shuttered and dark.

The man continued to traipse through the town. He paused. As he does the fog stops rolling into the town. The mysterious figure looks around, listening to something that only he could hear. The man shifts his grip on the axes handle, and approaches a dilapidated house with a dark blue door. As a dog would follow it’s master, the brume (another word for fog) follows the man. As the man takes the steps up to the house he yet again readjusts his grip on the axe, and with a mighty swing strikes the door.

The man repeats this process. As the door is now splintered into shards of wood he enters the house. As he infiltrates the building the fog encircles the home. Inside, the man methodically searches from room to room. The air inside the house is full of dust. Webs clutch the edges of the ceiling and walls. Dust hugs whatever it can get a grasp on. As the man walks he disrupts the quiet with squeals from the floor.

Kicking in a door, the man smiles to reveal that he has glistening pointed razor sharp teeth, for he has just found what he came for. Kneeling in the farthest corner of the room sits a woman, huddled with her family as if for warmth.

“Mommy, I'm scared,” says one of her children, a beautiful young girl with raven hair bearing a red stripe down the left. The girl vainly attempts to nuzzle closer than already possible.

“Shh, Delnis, everything is going to be alright,” the young girl's mother said. Like her daughter, the woman had brilliantly bright blue eyes, but had curly dark red hair instead. She looks up at the newcomer. “Don't you dare harm my children!”

The man continues to smile. He raises his axe as if to strike. Dawn pulls her children closer to her. Her son, a dark brown eyed rascal with strikingly white hair, grasps onto Dawn and Delnis.

“Please don't hurt them mister. They're all that I have left; we're all that she has left!”

“Be quiet Delnir!” Dawn demands. With the reflexes of that of a cheetah, the man lunges at the three, grabs Dawn, and pulls her from the grip of her family. Dawn tries valiantly to free herself from the grasp of the man in vain. She had tried to stab the man with a knife that she had concealed on her person. Enraged, the cloaked figure throws Dawn to the ground.

Adjusting his grip on the axe, he swings at Dawn, leaving a deep crimson gash in her porcelain flesh. Her blood oozes from the wound as a fountain. The man swings again, chopping off one of her hands. The more blood that flows, the happier the man becomes. Dawn slips in her own blood. Using this to his advantage, the hooded man swiftly decapitates her.

The children watch in horror as their mother, the strongest person they know, is easily defeated by the hands of this stranger. They weep for her in silent terror and agony as the stranger hacks their beloved mother to bits and pieces, spraying them with her blood with each sickening thwack of his axe.

The man, evidently finished with his deed, goes to grab Dawn’s severed head. As he does this Delnir rises up, and attempts to slice the stranger with the very knife that Dawn had used. The man, out of instinct, waves his arm and forces Delnir to carve a gash into his own face. Once done taking care of the brave, foolish boy, the man retrieves Dawn’s head, and walks out of the room and building. He leaves the once quiet town just as he came, and as he departs the town the mist follows him, enveloping him in it’s cold, damp, shroud.

Back in the house, Delnis carefully goes to her brother's side. She cradles his head in her lap, and uses a torn segment of her own clothing to stop the bleeding. Little does either of them know that losing their mother wasn’t the end of their problems, but only the beginning.

(I know this was from a while ago but oooh I’m interested! If you could just lay out some quick rules and what roles are available, that’d be great. Just know I won’t always be active)

@SupernaturalSyGuyIsTIred group

(This is how to make words *bold*. You can figure out how to do more by going to this thread. I didn't really plan that far ahead. All I know is that the twins are protective of one another, and that the man-in-the-fog is thought of as an urban legend.)

@Tired-but-passionate

(Oh wait I have more questions XD. Is this set in a particular time period? Is it a fantasy setting? Does magic exist, or is it simply that these urban legends exist? I know you said you didn’t plan it out that far, but do you have a vague idea of the plot as well?)

@SupernaturalSyGuyIsTIred group

  • Hmmm….
  • "Real world" fantasy
  • Yes, magic exists!
  • The twins take to living on the streets and squatting in vacant buildings. They repressed the memory of what happened to their mother; others try to cover up what happened ("Your mother went for a walk one night and never returned"). They uncover the urban legend, discover that it's true, and decide to try to stop The-man-in-the-fog.

@SupernaturalSyGuyIsTIred group

(Post-apocalyptic for the time period? I've never done that before, and think it'd be kinda fun to play around with.)


Delnir sat up in the loft of the barn, absent mindedly swinging one of his legs that he had dangling over the edge while reading a book. The smell of damp hay evaded his nostrils while various farm animals made their noises.

@Tired-but-passionate

Delnis dashed into the barn, weaving around piles of hay and cows. She climbed up to the loft, dust and hay flying around her feet. The sun’s rays turned her raven hair to gold, and revealed the dust motes lazily drifting about. Delnis kneeled next to her brother.
“Delnir! I found the chicken coop. And look!” She pulled out two eggs from her pocket. One was milky white, the other a soft tan color.

@Tired-but-passionate

She sighed. “I know. But it was all I could find! The farmer must’ve gotten the rest already. You can have the white one. It matches your hair.”
She sat next to him, swinging her legs over the edge.

@SupernaturalSyGuyIsTIred group

"Eh, its better than nothing," he responds as he sets his book down to take the egg. The young man carefully pulls a pan from his backpack, sets the egg in his lap, and motions his hand as if he were lighting a lighter. A glowing flame hovers over his finger and grows as he places the flame in his palm. "Let's get cookin' so we can eat these."

@Tired-but-passionate

“You’re gonna burn down the barn.” she muttered, rolling her eyes. She also placed her egg in her lap. “Here,” she took the pan and held it over the flame in his hand. “You can go first.”

@Tired-but-passionate

Just then, her stomach rumbled. “Okay, fine. Can you hold it, then?”
Delnir held the pan while Delnis took her egg and cracked it against the edge of the loft. She then held it over the pan and separated the egg, the insides hitting the pan with a sizzle. The delicious smell that rose from it filled the barn.

@SupernaturalSyGuyIsTIred group

Delnir's own stomach made an audible grumble, the empty hollow of his belly begging for sustenance as a hungry animal once the aroma of the cooking egg hit his nostrils. His mouth immediately began to salivate as he watched the egg cook. Man, that looks so freakin' good!

@Tired-but-passionate

Delnis swung her legs back and forth impatiently. “How long do we have to wait again? I keep forgetting.” Her eyes stared, icy with hunger. She didn’t realize she was drooling until it turned cold on her chin. It was strange; her body gave her all the signs that she needed food, yet her brain told her that she was fine. Still, she needed to eat something while she could.

@Tired-but-passionate

“No, wait.” Her brow furrowed, her lips pursed. “Don’t you have to flip it over first?” She thought you were supposed to do something like that. Despite the hunger, she wasn’t going to settle for something undercooked.
