The dark carnival

[joonsexual]

WON'T YOU COME PLAY WITH ME?

THE IDEA: A group of individuals (varying in both backgrounds and personalities) have been selected to partake in an event known only as "The Dark Carnival." Through a variety of means (often through coercion and other less-than-legal methods), the participants are whisked away from their homes, jobs, or schools (or wherever) and, some time later, find themselves inside a posh hotel room — with no recollection of ever having slept or wearing the clothes they, now, find themselves in or why this is happening — to them.



THE GENRE: Dark Comedy, Mystery, Action/Suspense



THE RUN-DOWN: Fancy words aside, I'm going to break down the role-play for you in terms of what to expect. Hopefully this doesn't take too much away from the role-play.

First, in this role-play, characters will, inevitably, die. In fact, in order for the role-play to function, characters must die. Therefore, if having your character killed is not your cup of tea then this role-play is, probably, not for you. Sorry.

Second, this is a modern-day role-play and will take place in (city, country). I haven't decided yet which city (or even country) this role-play will take place in. But that is a small detail and, if all else fails, this will simply take place in America or something.

Third, the role-play is designed around the idea of a "survivor's game." Essentially, this means that the characters (henceforth known as Champions or Heroes) are all involved (most likely against their will) in a setting where they are, quite literally, fighting for their lives.

At the beginning each stage (the role-play will be divided into twelve stages), each Champion will be prompted by either a global mission (a mission that is given to every Champion) and/or a private mission (a mission that is given to only a select number of Champions). It is possible to be given both a global and private mission. In fact, please expect multiple missions.

Completion of these missions will be rewarded (or at least not punishable) while failure to complete will result in a penalty (rewards and penalties will be defined in each mission).

I would like to note, here, that the "game" being played is fashioned after (in parts) Dead Man's Wonderland and Hunger Games/Battle Royale. If you're familiar with any of the three, you'll have a pretty decent idea where this whole thing is going.

Fourth, there are a limited number of slots (roughly ten to twelve — more likely to be ten, though). Each slot is defined by a pre-determined characteristic (I'll reveal the slots later).



I don't really have much else to say. I don't want to give too much away, but, at the same time, I would like you to (kind of) get an understanding of what to expect.

If this helps anyone, the role-play was inspired by the following:

Alice Human-Sacrifice — Vocaloid, Battle Royale, Dead Man's Wonderland, Hunger Games, Liar's Game, The World Ends With You, and various other things that, for whatever reason, isn't coming to mind. Anyway, yeah.


Right now, I'm just looking to see what kind of reception I might get and etc. (:
