With the ending of season 3 of Stranger Things, leaving many of us with a sense of emptiness and wishing we could have more episodes, I thought of starting a group RP that would portray the events of how we think season 4 would go down. Of course, this would include both canon characters and would allow you to submerse your own original characters into the universe of Stranger Things.
- The shut down, reconstruction, and new ownership of Starcourt mall left many teens and pre-teens alike of Hawkins, Indiana, disgruntled for the rest of the summer. With no place to hang out with their friends or to easily snatch summer jobs. Though, this was great for all of the stores on Main Street and business quickly flooded back into Hawkins for a short while. The reconstruction of Starcourt Mall being completed in December of 1985, and due to reopen in spring of 1986.
The school year proceeded as normal for the gang, with plenty of trips to the arcade and some occasional D&D in remembrance of Will. Without him, Eleven, and Jonathan around things seemed...just not right. Nothing was the same without their cleric and mage in their party. But, have tried to make the best of their situation by allowing some new friends within to their group. *cough cough*
It doesn’t seem as though the soviets are through with the town of Hawkins though, with having the gate closed beneath Starcourt, their operations had to be returned back to Mother Russia. With a few months of struggling to bore a new hole in the fabric of the universe before succeeding to open another gateway. Oddly, several new families have moved into the lovely little town. They’re beyond normal though, as they can occasionally be seen packing around odd equipment and lingering around Starcourt. The gang catching suspicion that these may just be soviets undercover that are attempting to reopen the gate at Hawkins. The new police chief of Hawkins doesn’t at all believe the gang, and claims that they’re just making up stories to stir trouble and unease in the town. This sets them all off, and they gear up to take down the Soviet intruders themselves. But this time, they don’t have the help of Eleven...
But our favorite primordial antagonist appears to prefer terrorizing Hawkins, especially with the last incident angering HIM beyond measure. With Eleven out of the way, the next plan was sure to go much smoother...
April, 1986.
- Using humans of the natural world was no longer an option in His plans, as they were flawed, imperfect, and disobedient. The last one He used as a proxy dared to disobey His commands. That mistake must not be made again, certainly not at the perfect moment either.
Yet they were easier to sneak under the noses of other unsuspecting humans, Demodogs and Demogorgons would be of no use to him this time. As the humans had become familiar with the creatures and slay them on site.
He needed another proxy, no...
He NEEDED a paragon.
Though it could not be found in the human world, nor the Upside Down. So it would just have to be made. After all, the creatures of the Upside Down provided Him with plenty of materials to make His puppet. Bones, flesh, organs, skin, and hair. They all just needed to be rearranged, reformed, remade.
A perfect creature, the only human He’d allow to live once His take over of the other dimension was successful. As it was a being that at least shared a similarity to His intelligence, but was obedient and followed His every order without question.
Now, He just needed to get it across the new gate, guide it to the healing wound of the original, and have it open it for Him.
This will be a group RP of around maybe 5-10 people, and will consist of both canon and original characters. Our group will have a discord server and once enough people are interested I will gladly set it up and send you the link!
Just a couple of rules for our roleplay,
•Please be kind and respectful to others when in an out of character manner, this doesn’t mean your character has to be respectful though.
•Keep your original characters fairly realistic, and not too over powered. An example of over powered for me would be like: They can snap your neck with just a glance. Nor Mary/ Gary sue, for me that would just be silly things like all the boys/girls love them, or they got some rainbow hair and red eyes in the 1980’s. But otherwise, your character can be any gender, age, ethnicity, or sexuality you desire.
•Please allow two people to post after your post before you reply again, as this keeps things running smooth and progressing the story.
•Nothing sexual, although this will include some dark and mature themes. I’d like to stick to site rules as the main roleplay will be taking place on it. We do have romance though! As well as cursing.
If you’d like to have an original character, please notify me and fill out a character sheet at the link below. You’ll know when it is approved when I react to your post with a . If you’d like to play a canon character, just let me know and I’ll mark you down! Canon characters don’t necessarily need a character sheet unless you’d like to fill one out!
