Creature
People have been gathering there for who knows how long - odd people, poor souls with no luck, who you should stay away from at all costs. They come here for the annual October Ball, wearing queer masks akin to demons themselves. Once 13 have assembled and the clock strikes midnight on the 1st of October, they enter the seemingly haunted house - it appears deserted throughout the entire year except for during this accursed month, as its windows light up like jack-o-lanterns and the hellish celebration begins.
However, the stakes are high and most pay with their lives as soon as they go past the threshold of this crooked domain. Are you really ready to take a chance? And, even if you somehow make it, are you ready for a deal with the Devil?
Ladies and Gentleman, May I Have Your Attention...

This roleplay idea belongs to
rambler
, but they abandoned it back in 2016. I intend to revive it, which they have expressed being fully okay with.This roleplay is heavily inspired by the manga "Life is Money", which I found to be lacking, but still possessing an intriguing concept that I decided could be worked on through cooperation with some fine, literate roleplayers. Anyway, now that credit has been given where it is due, onto the actual summery - a group of 13 people decide to take participation in a game of life and death for the chance to be granted their wish by a supposed Devil running the whole ordeal. In order to succeed, they have to survive a month of being stuck in an isolated manor, going through various challenges set up by the Devil himself for his own personal entertainment. The toughest obstacle they will have to overcome is ending the lives of their fellow participants, since only 6 individuals may be left alive at the end of the month. If this number is exceeded, then everyone will be killed off. There is one condition that the murdering abides by - you may off a person solely through frightening them to an extent that the Devil deems enough. All forms of physical violence are prohibited, yet only if they are noticed by the Devil or recorded. Needless to say, as any satanic creature he is willing to close his eyes on certain occasions if he sees fit.
Once 6 people remain and make it to the end of the set deadline there follows a celebration, a ball, during which their masks are at last taken off and whatever they had hoped for is given to them - money, fame, love, confidence, luck, etc. All is possible - even bringing a long lost relative or friend back from the dead. No tricks! This is the real deal. However, is the reward really worth it? Was it worth the psychological torture that everyone endured? Was is it worth the deaths of 7 people? Well, it doesn't matter... Once you make a pact with the Devil there's no going back...
| There will obviously be character death so better take heed of this when choosing to participate. Killing a particular character will be decided through discussions among the characters themselves or even just by the whim of one person alone - there will be no vote-based elimination system. The purpose of this game is to dig into the players' minds as they consciously choose who to get rid off through finding "justifiable reasons" to carry through with this inhumane act and persuading others of their views. |
For the RP I will need 13 fellow roleplayers (though I am totally willing to lower the number if there is little interest), with a good grasp on grammar and the ability to write one and/or over one paragraph per post. Also, obviously, character limit per roleplayer is merely one.
A lot more detail will be revealed once the official thread is up
