Introduction

As early as the late 1400’s, hunts have been conducted in the name of all that is “good and holy” in the world. Witchery and cults were seen as the primary focus of these so-called inquisitions, and was often the excuse given to those who questioned the methods of the local clergy who condemned others of committing acts of witchcraft. Our history books have told us this.

What they haven’t told us is what is important to notice.

The Bubonic plague or the “Black Death” was seen as a disease spread by rats in Europe. Though researchers have discovered that the bodies of the dead did not remain dead for long, rising up shortly after their bodies seemingly shut down. The bodies had to be burned to keep them from affecting the population of Europe, and those that survived should have considered themselves lucky indeed.

Dracula. Werewolves. Mummies. Zombies. Witches. Creatures that are mentioned only on Halloween and popularized in the media. Vampires and other creatures of the night roam our world, blending in with an uncanny grace that allows them to travel among us unnoticed. The governments of the world have seen fit to keep these types of things under wraps. Either that is the truth being spread by skeptics and conspiracy theorists…

… or maybe things aren’t really as they seem.

Toggle Rules

1. No God Moding. (Should be self-explanatory). To go along with this rule, characters will NOT know of the impending threat of the creatures of Shadow at first but will learn of it over time.
2. Posting should commit to these guidelines: quality over quantity, frequent but not rushed.
3. Interactions with PCs and NPCs should remain within the scope of your characters knowledge of them. Do not control another character without permission. See rule #1.
4. Romance between characters is allowed. Just keep it forum appropriate please.
5. Profanity: we come from a world where peppers our language more often than some of us would like to admit. That’s alright though, because usage (and not over usage) is permitted. Just be sure to keep this board appropriate as well.
6. Please have fun. If you are not into seeking out monsters of the night to hunt down then this game may not be for you.

Character Archetype (as taken from the D20 Modern Core Rulebook)
These classes are representations of the type of character you will play in the game. As play commences, players may end up multiclassing into one or more of these classes.

Tough hero – Stunt persons, bodyguards, enforcers, wrestlers, and athletes who demand extreme staying power or who must withstand a lot of physical punishment all fall within the purview of the Tough hero.

Re: [OOC] The Parish - Chronicles of a Witch Hunter

I have edited my character as requested. I tried to reply to your PM, but I don't have enough posts on the site, yet, to use that feature. I do have a question, though. I have a physical description and a personality for my character. May I include those in the character sheet as additional information, or should I just have those play out during the gameplay itself?

Re: [OOC] The Parish - Chronicles of a Witch Hunter

I am interested and have submitted a character for approval.

Re: [OOC] The Parish - Chronicles of a Witch Hunter
