How much have you ever hated someone?
Have you ever hated someone so much, that this feeling alone would drive you to do horrific things? Have you ever hated someone so much, that your whole life was focused on finding that person and ripping him apart? Have you ever hated someone so much, that you would forget about your humanity, purge it all just to find enough power, for one, single fraction of a moment, one chance to get your revenge...
What would your eyes look like in that very moment? Insane? Terrified? Passionate? Enraged? Happy?
Would you dare to ever find out for yourself if you ever got a chance?
He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.
Within the kingdom of Midland, rumors exist of an all powerful group of deities known as the God Hand who control reality and fate to their whim. When a group of unrelated individuals from across the multiverse are gathered by this God Hand on a seemingly mundane whim, they are provided with an ultimatum; become a sacrifice to the God Hand in order to preserve their existence, the inherent evil within them as sentient beings being the source of nourishment, or find sacrifices to offer who were just as evil. In essence, they were tasked with finding an evil great enough to sacrifice to an even greater evil, or face oblivion.
As they embark on this journey against their own will for the sake of their own survival, the shadow of a dark cloud looms over the decaying land that they have been thrust into, as they descend into the heart of unspeakable evil, risking losing themselves to the darkness within their own hearts in the process.
And as all this transpires, a mysterious castle rises from the ground in the distance, holding an imposing presence as though it were a sentient being, gazing and watching those below it, almost as though taunting them.
And its name... was Castlevania.
What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil.
1. Naturally, all of STC's rules apply here.
2. Please be respectful towards everyone in the OOC, including myself. After all, as the GM, whatever I say goes!
3. If you're a newcomer, welcome! Though the Convergence Series is a mass fandom roleplay with its own original lore that's been built up and up for a while, don't let all that intimidate you. Previous knowledge of the Convergence Series in general or any of the past events isn't totally required to enjoy this event. That being said, as a fairly tight-knit community, we suggest and encourage you to join our Discord server (see above) to keep up with updates and meet the community, as that's where all the OOC chatter will be based.
4. No OOC talk in the IC, please. Take it to Discord. By extension, OOC drama isn't permitted. If you have a problem with someone, take it to PMs and settle it in a civil manner.
5. This should be a given, but no godmodding / metagaming!
6. Players of all posting levels are welcome here. That being said, please at least put something whenever you make a post. We'd like as little IC posts being nothing but image spam or so as possible. Speaking of image spam, please only post a maximum of three images / GIFs per post in order to not flood the page with images that make it harder to load.
7. Due to the intended speed of the game (ideally to wrap up in a month), it is practically a requirement to seek out other users to be your "posting partners" so that you have some people you can stick with. Using the tagging system is absolutely critical. This is actually very important. It's fine (and encouraged) to only keep up with a few characters / players for the majority of the game for ease, as that is far easier than trying to keep tabs on everyone. Summaries and important GM posts will be made prominent, or at least, I'll try to remember.
8. I'll be implementing a limit for the amount of duos allowed, specifically a limit of 5, if only to make it a little easier on myself. Duos must be from the same canon, and they must be characters that would normally ally with each other, though exceptions can be made to this if I deem it necessary. You're allowed to reserve beforehand a spot for one of them if you'd like. Also, do note that if we deem your character too powerful for the event, they will be subject to nerfing. As far as OCs go, they're free game if you want to sign up as one instead of a canon character though.
9. Might be a bit cliche to add, but most importantly, have fun!
Appearance: Self-explanatory. Just a picture is fine.
Name: What is your character's name? Do they generally go by an alias / nickname?
Age: Chronologically, how old is your character?
Canon: What does your character originate from? If your character is an OC, just say "OC" or "Convergence Series," depending on where they come from of course. If your character is an OC specifically from an established canon, put the name of the canon and "OC" next to it.
Powers / Abilities / Equipment: What is your character capable of, and if they have notable items they carry around, like weapons, is there anything special about them? While we'll be lenient with what to nerf and what not to, naturally, you know the drill. Hopefully. Though, just a Wiki link is fine.
Other Info: Optional. Just basically any extra info you feel is necessary that the GMs should know about.
