D.A.G.O.M.

D.A.G.O.M.

0 INK

A Lovecraftian inspired mystery horror game where you play as a member of D.A.G.O.M., a secret government organization that tracks down and deals with everything that goes bump in the night and worst. But there's whispers of something much bigger coming.

1,482 readers have visited D.A.G.O.M. since SatatyaUno created it.

Introduction

Image

One night, just after midnight, a hooded figure appeared before you, seeming out to nowhere.


Image

The figure said nothing. Just held out a crimson red letter.
The only contents of which read:

"Welcome to D.A.G.O.M.""


Image

Image
Image
Image

Firstly, you're probably asking
Image
Image

D.A.G.O.M. is an acronym for a secret government organization,
the Defense Against Ginormous Ominous Monsters.
D.A.G.O.M.
And caution to you, new hire, don't go asking Madame Raven why the name is so "on the nose" because she hates talking about it. And hates the name in general.
More on her later though.


Image

Image

You're also probably asking
Image
Image

Though you have your own... personal reasons for being here, the main reason was that you were summoned to D.A.G.O.M. because you are Special.
We'll talk about what that means later.

In short, you are here because you were given a glance behind the scenes. You now know that so many conspiracies are true now. You know that there's a group of four people that seem to be pulling the strings of society behind the scenes. And you know that not everything is what it seems.

Remember those stories you heard as a kid? The stories about the boogie man? Stories about everything that goes bump in the night? Stories of undiscovered monstrosities living deep in the woods? Stories of why runaways that run to the hills disappear, never to be seen again? Those are all true. And holding that letter, reading those few words, your eyes opened. And you realized that you have the potential to help protect humanity.
But at what prize?

I'm glad you asked.

Image

ImageImageImageImageImageImageImage
Image

Image

At D.A.G.O.M. you are assigned to a role that is suited to whatever type of Special you are. Now, what makes you a Special? It could be almost anything. Can you see five seconds into the future? You're a Special. Are you a witch, able to make any potion with the sparsest ingredients? That makes you a Special. Are you possessed? And you, can you summon demons from the palm of your hand? Well guess what, your a Special!

Don't go thinking you're a special Special though. Most of the Specials that work at D.A.G.O.M. have had years under their belts of training for their spots. You're brand new and put right at work. There's a reason for that though.

Lately, the news has been broadcasting about mysterious disappearances. Full forests being leveled in the course of the night without so much of a sound. Neighborhood animals running east in every town, seeming to vanish at the borders to be replaced with hordes of crows and a pair of oversized ravens leading them. Whole cruise ships going missing with few crew and passengers winding up on the shores without so little of a scratch and in completely dry clothes. Normally, D.A.G.O.M. is able to track down pretty easily who or what is causing this. But something isn't right. It feels like something big is coming. And with the capture of one of the low level monsters, there's word of something big. It's not coming, it's already here. That's where you come in.

Because activity all over the globe has been acting up more than ever before, D.A.G.O.M. has been needing to scramble to stop the masses from seeing something they shouldn't. But they also need to be tracking down other clues to find out what's coming, what's here, and what its plan is. You'll be one in a group of 4 to 6 of the new recruits to D.A.G.O.M. Madame Raven, the president of D.A.G.O.M., will be the one sending you on assignments, both as a group and on a personal level. This will be explained more later. Onto the characters!

A.K.A. Rules Of Play
(All of RPG's rules apply as well)

First and foremost, I think it's quite clear this isn't a "normal" roleplay. It's going to be played a little like a tabletop game. I as the GM will be controlling the overall story and NPCs, hence why I'm playing the president and not a new recruit. Which brings us to rule number one:

1. Reservations: Reservations will be made by sending me a pm of a "resume" of your character. This will include, but wont be limited to, the face claim you wish to use, and the possible "role"/"Special" you'd like to have. Basically the general idea you'd have for the character. It doesn't need to be too in-depth, just enough to give me a taste for the character. Also, if you write it in the characters point of view, I will love you forever.

2. Missions & Story: Though npcs and the story will primarily be pushed/controlled by me, the characters are really what drives the story. Their actions will cause things to happen in game. When assigned to a mission, Madam Raven will also assign a personal assignment to each character. It will then be up to the character to decide whether to tell the others in the group or not. There will also be times a character learns of something that could either get them a step closer to their overall goal or give them some sort of advantage over another character. Again, it will be up to the character to decide whether they'll tell the rest of the group or not. For an example, think of a table top game of D&D. Sometimes, certain characters have certain skills other characters don't and can then learn different things or find special objects. It's completely up to the character to decide whether they tell other characters or not. At the end of the day, this is about this group of characters living in the world of D.A.G.O.M. (Don't worry if you're not familiar with table top games, if you understand that's all that matters! And, of course, if you have any questions, ask away in the OOC or shoot me a pm and I'll be glad to answer!)

3. Posts & Details: Because of the nature of this roleplay, I find that posts should be as detailed as possible. We don't want to try to fill in details later when we could be dealing with this giant octopus that's currently eating a house. Do you get what I'm trying to say here? I sure hope so. Also, because of the nature of this roleplay, I would like everyone to be committed and post often. At least two posts a week. There's not a lot of us and this is going to be a relatively fasted paced game. The exception to this will be when puzzled/riddles/the like are thrown into the mix... but we'll talk about that in the future.

4. No God-modding Nor Any Metagaming!: Again, because of the nature of this roleplay, metagaming can be very detrimental to the story. If your character has no reason not to know something, do not have them know it. That's why this is a mystery. That's why I'm not giving you every detail of the world up front. I'm only telling you what you need to know was new recruits. Heck, that's why everyone starts as a new recruit except me. I'll only be telling you what you need to know as new recruits. Over the course of the game, you will learn more about the world and the creatures that inhabit it.

5. Drama, Romance, EMOTIONS: This is just a quick PSA stating that, yes, all of these things can and probably will be present in this roleplay. But this is not to become the main focus. The characters are driven in their own ways to solve the mysteries they find and complete the assignments they are put on. That's why they fully accepted becoming apart of D.A.G.O.M. Whether to save humanity or their own skin. Or maybe they've given up and completely threw themselves at the first opportunity to get away from the lie they've been living.

6. Character Sheet & Ages: There is a character sheet below, however everyone is welcome to modify/add to it as they see fit and even use their own character sheet as long as it has all the same if not more information as the one I've provided. As for ages, please have your character 20+ as it'd be odd for a secret government organization that tracks down and apprehends ginormous monsters to have anyone younger.

and lastly

7. Have Fun!

I hope to see a lot of amazing characters! Again, if you have any questions about anything, ask away in the OOC or shoot me a pm. I may be playing a character with the face claim of Meryl Streep in "The Devil Wears Prada", and I may have the icon of a raven/crown/black bird thing as my profile pic, but I don't bite!
