Interest Check: Horror/Dream Themed RP

Inspiration for Ideas: Cupid’s Brew, Coraline, Ib, The Witch’s House, Jayn’s countdown/day system, my psychology class, and my weird brain

Genre: Horror, Psychological, Puzzle/Mystery

Rating: PG-13 to a PG-16 average

RolePlay Level: Advanced

Setting: Pediatric Psychiatric Hospital (for the very beginning), Alternate reality

Basic Story Line: Kids and teens (8-18 years of age) are placed in a psychiatric hospital. They either have a problem and need to be treated for it, or they have been falsely placed there. That’s for you to decide. Your characters are chosen to be placed under an experiment for a new “Miracle Drug”; a drug that can cure any psychological problem big or small. There’s no more guessing, the medication works to the brain’s chemical balance and stabilizes it and wallah. No more problems in the head. One pill, that’s all it takes.

So, all parents/guardians of your character(s) signed the agreement to be a part of this experiment. Whatever their reasons, that’s up to you too. Everyone takes this medication when it’s bed time, and go to sleep.

When you wake up, you’re no longer in the hospital. You’re in a different world, another reality. It’s night, but it’s not hard to see. There’s a large mansion with a garden in front and a kind woman waiting for you at the gates of this place.

“Welcome to Dream World Children,” she begins in that motherly tone. “Welcome one and all. Please, do not be afraid. I am what you called the Dream Mother. I make all of your wishes and beautiful dreams come true.”
She explains to you then that this is her world, and you have all woken up in it. Dream Mother tells you to not worry about a thing and just let all your worries and cares go. And her servants are at your disposal.

Things run smoothly at first, everything seems great. There’s no more pain, and the whole place seems to be filled with laughter and light (even though it always is night and morning never shines).

Then, the children and even maybe you begin to question this place. When can you wake up? When can you go home? When can you leave?

One event after another, and suddenly Dream Mother turns into the Nightmare Bringer. The world of wonder gradually turns into the world of horror. Most of the servants are no longer on your side, and become your enemy. Everything seems to become your enemy. Now you can feel pain, anguish, and mostly fear. In fact, you can die.

If you die in Nightmare Bringer’s world, you die in the real world. For now, you are in a coma and your family is holding on to hope that you’ll pull through. The moment you go brain dead though, the doctors will tell your family it’s time to pull the plug and say goodbye.


The Main Goal: Get out of Nightmare Bringer’s world alive.

What To Expect:

• You can die
• There will be puzzles/mysteries to solve
• Five days in reality equals a day gone by in the RP
• You can trigger events any time anywhere (good or bad)
• This might make people VERY depressed, so heads up
• There will be “opportunities” to build your character up before all hell breaks use. Use them.
• There are twists and turns in the story. Be prepared.
• There will be "COUNTDOWNS"

Basic Rules in Mind (For Now):

1. No Godmodding (EXCEPT ME. You’re fighting against me, my NPCs, my Triggers, and my puzzles. I will be fair, but DO NOT let your guard down at all costs.)
2. No Powerplaying (Except me: Only the beginning, death scenes, and Triggers)
3. ONE character for each person (I think this is best, let me know if you have other ideas)
4. Expect to die (Dead, gone, death, you’re finished. No if, ands, or buts)
5. You all start with THREE “Chances” (Think of this as your three lives to live. You goof once, okay, rewind and rethink your choice. Unless you’re on the last of your “Chances”, then think carefully. You can die, remember?)
6. You can get more “Chances” (Be on the lookout to see how)
7. No drama, No Crazy Llama (Meaning, the less hassle you give me about anything, the nicer I will be: Deadlines, posting, rules, ANYTHING.)
8. If you think you can run this RP better than me, then please, don’t join. Be willing to work with me.
9. Five days in our time equals ONE day in the RP.
10. Midnight Pacific Time is the deadline and the next day in the RP will start. If you do not post an ending for the day, or a stop off point for your character before that deadline, you lose a “Chance”. Meaning, expect to be active during the week and then finish.
11. The more posts you can get in during the “Five Days IRL” thing, the better your survival will be later. Trust me.

Okieday, after all of that, who’s interested to join this web of confusion and fright? Got an ideas or suggestions? Questions? Concerns?

 

You have my interest

 

Mine as well. I had an idea for a Horror RP (Takes place in a mental asylum and was inspired by Jayn's Cupid's Brew as well), but then PokAcademy picked back up. I need some fright back in my activity.

 

This RP Idea, I like it. ANOTHER!

Edit: But yeah, I'm interested in this.

 

This "Thor" reference, I like it. Another!

 

Has my interest been satisfied by this thread?
​

 

Thanks guys. :3

I need at least three or four more interest takes on this, and then I'll proceed to make the actual OOC section... Trying to get more people though. >< If not, I think the five of us can handle it and I'll let you guys make maybe... two-three characters. Depends though.

 

It's a very interesting idea, it sounds like it'd be a cool RP to be a part of. The concept of being in a dream world whilst in a como is something that I personally haven't seen that much, so good job coming up with such a good idea.

 

Thanks Wiggles. I take back what I said earlier about making multiple characters. I think you guys who are interested would get bored of it since it would be better with a medium to large group. Though I do appreciate the interest that has been taken, I don't think it can lift off the ground. :c

 

I'm in.

 

You've piqued my interest with this.

 

Cat~ must be lost. Shh. No one tell her that she somehow wandered into the RPA.

 

RPA? I thought this was Enzy's profile. My bad.

No, but seriously, I'm interested in dream stuff, and I've wanted to be in a few RPs, so this is perfect for me.
plus the SPN RP I'm in is sort of at a standstill, so...

 

Yay! Thanks everyone for showing interest! As an award, here's the OOC Thread: http://kh-vids.net/threads/❖-ome-ittle-hildren-occ-thread-☾.142636/

FLIPPING FLIP FLIP FLOP! This took about four hours to make. @~@ I'm going to get something to eat, get ready for trick-or-treaters, and yup. HAVE FUN EVERYONE!
