A note on magic, psionics, and other supernatural abilities: | +
In general, when a character uses magic (magic being loosely defined as 'otherworldly abilities' as I'd like to give you guys some free reign with this), they can expect to pay a price. Most often this is in the form of fatigue. Whatever the origin, all powers come from the same source of primal magical energy and must be channeled through the body of the caster, which always results in some sort of otherworldly exhaustion. Psionic abilities, such as communing with the deceased, fall under the category of magic.

Magic as a whole will also tend to attract unwanted attention from beings more attuned to the supernatural. This means that in addition to the fatigue from using magic, you may also draw more entities to you. Magic is perhaps the most useful way of catching prey in Obscure, just be careful that you don't attract something bigger than the prey you're already hunting.

Feel free to be creative with abilities and magic, though as always be sensible, follow mid-power guideline and keep it in theme.


I am ready to start whenever you guys have your characters in mind. After mulling it over for a little bit, I've also decided that if you think having two characters would contribute greatly to the overall plot, you are more than welcome to add a second character. When you're ready, that is when you've got the idea for your character(s) in mind, go ahead and just comment on this thread and we'll get things rolling.

I shall be playing a singular character, who is a type of empath. Should we provide more details or shall we keep the intrigue high for the start?

Actually, that part will be up to you Cotton! If you want to add more detail to your characters or their powers, you are more than welcome to. However, keeping the intrigue high from the get-go would add to that mystery feel that the story itself is going for.

I plan on having my character quite akin to Velma. The whole helpless when she loses her glasses type deal lol. She'll be human, and the research nerd, so anything the characters need to know can come from her. =3

Great first post! Is there a specific starting point for our characters, or are they all doing their usual business in the Amersham area?

Half-working on a post right now, actually, but yeah, good question! Also added a little teaser about the two characters I will be using in this RP in my earlier post near the beginning of this thread c: Be nice to them, especially Francois, even if he is a grumpy butthead.

Yeah I'd like to know if all the characters know one another already at this point or are they just going to be meeting for the first time? Do they combat the big baddies regularly together already?

Just a suggestion but it might be cool if a few of them may have worked together already but not all of them already know each other. Any thoughts?

@Kalab As an example, my characters, Anna and Francois, met online on a forum dedicated to the occult. It has as many wild conspiracy theorists as people like our characters who actually do have a vague idea that something is happening. If your character is the type to chill out on the web, they could definitely have met.

Anna also runs a witchcraft store ala Etsy. Francois, I'm not entirely sure about yet - he's an old concept of mine, but a relatively new character, if that makes sense. Depending on what you had in mind for yours, we could work something out?

We probably could work something out @Fearless Sissy since my character does spend a lot of time online and watching newscasts and just searching for stories of odd occurrences in general. He would also used objects that a person might find only in the non-public areas of a witchcraft store. We should at least definitely talk some more about this. :)

These are all really solid questions and suggestions! Unfortunately I'm mobile and will likely be that way for the rest of the night but I did not want to not address everything in case someone wanted to post up tonight.

The way I had envisioned it, no one knew one another and it was just an unassuming group of individuals coming together. If you are playing a character that is already acutely aware that the things that lurk in the night are real, you are more than welcome to have had them previously combat them. Just keep in mind that they were not common (though still very much around) before the incidents at Amersham Station.

Also, there will be two cycles before my next GM post with everyone posting once per cycle. I'd like you all to make your way, for whatever your reasoning, to Amersham station.

What season / time is it when the roleplay starts? I was imagining some time in the evening, not so sure about season.

My character will have battled them in the past. He is a necromancer who has spoken to the victims that have died at the hands of things that go bump in the night. The way he sees it is that if he doesn't then who will. he can't sit by knowing and do nothing.

@Muse: I plan on playing the siblings I told you about in the Interest Check. Ian has the ability of pyrokinesis and his sister, Iris, has the ability of telekinesis. I had a really long day but I'll get a post up from them, hopefully tomorrow.
