Good morning, Morioh-Cho!
Hey guys!
So I kind of had a bit of a weird idea spawning from a dream a while ago, but I thought I'd put it up here and see if anyone would be interested in this as a possible RP.
The basic idea is as follows; the player characters each play as a horror trope: a werewolf, vampire, mummy, zombie, or even going into more unique stuff like a skinwalker, a merman, or anything else that can be devised. It if fits within the annals of oldschool B-movie horror, it works for this roleplay.
The player group, consisting of monstrous humanoids of all kinds, find themselves kidnapped from modern-day Earth and brought to a far flung alien world called Xragos. There, they are forced into gladiatorial combat in a galactic tournament, where they vie for a chance at freedom from calculating alien masters.
It's a bit simple to start, but the basic idea sort of goes from there. But one thing I feel like I'd want to stress is to avoid the common missteps of idealized horror. In this universe, vampires die in sunlight, werewolves cannot completely control their changed form, ghosts are immaterial most of time, etc, etc. A few films that would be good examples of the direction I want to go would be Van Helsing, American Werewolf in London, Interview With a Vampire, and the Buffy series in general.
Anyway, I always wanted to do something horror-related, and the whole sci-fi backdrop could make it unique since it's basically alien monsters and tech vs. the supernatural. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions and if you're interested!
