- "I will get straight to the point, I know who, what you are-"
Your heartbeat quickens, as worry sets in. You wish you wouldn't have came home at all today.
"-don't worry, your secret is safe with me. I too, am not at all who you expect me to be."
Questions begin to pop into your head: who is this person? what does he know? how does he know?
"You may have seen me wander past you in the streets, sit nearby you in a restaurant, run from you in the dead of the night, seemingly in a drunken stupor. I will assure you now that those chance meetings were hardly coincidences. Everything happens for a reason."
Things start to become clear, your mind flashes back to forgotten memories of this person.
"I am Asher Faust, demon slayer. Malevolent spirits are my game. Silver, iron and salt is the extent of the ammunition I own, my body the weapon with which I fire it... You may call me crazy, many have and many will. This is the simple truth - the world is in danger."
You have just been overwhelmed with more information than you can handle. You collapse into a chair, not being able to handle gravity at the moment.
"Until now, you probably thought you were the only one. But, deep down, you knew you couldn't be the only one. I am living proof that you were not wrong in these assumptions. Although, for obvious reasons, we are not easy to find. Until we can find more hunters, we are going to struggle in this war and may die as a result of it."
Just as you were beginning to feel relived, it is all swept away. We? War? Death? This is not what you want...
"I am not asking you to give your life to the cause, nor am I asking you to waste what little bouts of happiness you may already have found for it. I'm just asking for you to give me a chance to find those tiny experiences that make such a dismal, lonely life worth living."
You know how it goes - a hunter never stops moving, never stops searching for a new place to escape to. You're prosecuted more than the monsters we hunt are. You wish that there was a way to explain to all of the important people in your life that what you do means life or death nearly every single day.
"I need your help."
You let your head fall into your lap, considering all that has just been said. You need a second to breath, to process your thoughts. You then raise your head to speak, but the man is gone. An open window and fluttering curtain, telling of his exit.
Rarely, they meet, but when a group of hunters such as yourselves does, you just know that something is occurring, and it is never a gay occasion.
I have wanted to get into another RP, something realistic or light fantasy. But, I can't find anything that suits my taste, so I figured I would just create my own.
I have decided to combine both genres. Combining a realistic action RP, with something that includes: gun-play, gritty & dark atmosphere, tons of violence and bloodshed. With a fantasy RP, with elements like: different character races, supernatural creatures, character classes, and leveling. It would then be wrapped up in a rich world with a unique setting, maybe: futuristic, space, steam-punk, modern, or medieval.
The story wouldn't be all too original, but definitely interesting. Basically a select group of people are off killing things, think Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Blade, Van Helsing... Stuff like that. Don't worry tough, together we can make the plot much more complicated once things get going.
The main aspect of this RP, that would set it apart from the rest, would be the narrator. I would like to have this RP DMed as if it were an authentic D&D campaign. Plus there would hopefully be a group of dedicated, literate and talented RPers. Speaking of, I wanted to keep this small, maybe 5-6 rpers, including myself.
So if you are interested in this, let me know and feel free to give your own ideas.
