Thanks to doodlepants45 for the collab.
_// Backstory\\_ The chandelier rattles, scaring half the guests. Most of them sigh, knowing that it’s just the wind. They look around the room, smiling at each other. They all know that it is an honor to be invited to this place, and they are all trying to seem as polite as possible. The Butler enters, giving them a choice: a tour of the house, or going directly to the dining room. . Most of the guests agree that they'd rather see the house, and the butler bows in agreement. He leads them into the parlor, which is decorated in red and gold splendor. After a bit of 'oohing' and 'ahhing', the group continues into the main hall. There, a grand staircase leads up to the second floor, where the bedrooms reside. The Butler announces that the guests will already know their room assignments. Finally, the guests enter into the dining room, and are never seen again.
_// Current Story \\_ This is the story of Darkwood Manor, an ancient mansion that was remodeled just last year. Now? It’s a rentable place for parties. One of your closest friends has just gotten married, and has decided to celebrate by spending a week at this manor. At first, you’re hesitant, as everyone has heard the stories. However, your friend pleads with you, and eventually, you arrive at the mansion. Along with 9 other guests, you will try to spend a week in Darkwood Manor.
You might be asking, what's with this manor? It's based off of Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None", a tale of murder. One of the guests is the murderer, which will be selected by the admins. This killer will be notified by messages, and will be asked each 'day' who they want to kill. Shortly afterwards, an admin will post something involving the murder of another guest. Will you survive, and find the killer? Or will you murder your friends and family? Perhaps you will be the victim. It's all a game of chance in Darkwood Manor.
_// Locations \\_ Darkwood Manor is located on the fittingly named Darkwood island, off the coast of Rhode Island. It's commonly struck by lightning storms, and has rocky cliffs on three side of the island. The last side is a pristine white beach, which is where the dock is located. Within the manor, there are a few locations where you can go to search for clues or simply converse with your fellow guests. Here is an abbreviated list:
**FIRST FLOOR** Parlor: A room for entertaining, this is furnished with a red and gold theme. A few cushiony chairs fill the room, with a wood fireplace on one end and a large window leading into the patio on the other. Main Hall: This is the 'Hub' of the house. From here, you can enter the Dining Room, you can go upstairs, you can head into the parlor, and you can enter the house. Dining Room: Must this be explained? There are two doors, one on either end of the room. A large chandelier which matches the one in the adjacent main hall is the centerpiece of the room, lightning up the entire area. Living Room: A simple room, this contains a couch, a wide-screen TV, and a few other common furniture items found in a living room. It is one of the most modern rooms of the house, with the decor following a black and white theme. Kitchen: The place where the food is created, this is connected by a servant's entrance to the dining room. It's not normally used by guests, yet the chef and the butler can commonly be found in here. It has a decor of light brown and a maroon theme.
**SECOND FLOOR** Bedrooms: Each guest has their own, personalized bedroom. These are organized in two wings: girls on the right, boys on the left. A common room contains a dresser, a bed, a mirror, and access to a bathroom connected to the room.
**OUTSIDE** Patio: Made from birch wood, this looks over Darkwood Island. It connects to the parlor, and can see most of the outside occurrences. Field: Here, guests can play various sports, such as soccer and football, the original architect created a wonderful green area which has all the equipment necessary for a sports games. Beach: This is where all the guests landed, as it houses a small dock and access to the ocean. On particularly stormy days, this beach can become entirely flooded with water. Rest of Island: Most of the island is grassy, with varieties of different plants that are beautiful when seen from afar. Some are....less safe than others to eat.
_// Rules \\_ Admins are alannalypinky and doodlepants45. They must be obeyed at ALL TIMES. If you are found defying an admin, you won't be allowed in the RP.
1. General RP rules. If you've never RPed before, don't come here. If you have, you know all about Gary and Mary Sues, Godmodding, etc. 2. DO NOT POST BEFORE YOU ARE ACCEPTED. This is a big rule. If you disobey, you don't get a second chance. You post before you're accepted, you don't get accepted. 3. One person will be the murderer. If you are chosen, don't reveal it. If you do, you will be stripped of your duties. 4. There are only two admins, but more might be added later. 5. This was an original idea, only based off of something that was mentioned earlier. Put what this was based off of in 'Other'. 6. Admins can accept people, control the butler, and kill off people. 7. PLEASE make a detailed CS, using grammar. If you don't use complete sentences, you will not be accepted. Even if you're accepted by an admin, I can overrule it if you're not detailed enough. 8. Ignore trolls, and people who haven't been accepted and/or break rules.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again.
This was based off of a book I read. Many murder/horror stories follow the same plot. I never claimed it was completely original, and I'm not going to respond to anything you say in the future, because I know that you're just trying to get on my nerves because I didn't promise you that you could be the killer. Everyone else, I advise you to do the same.
Let the rants begin. |

Name: Harold Burgundy Age: 65 Gender: Male Occupation: Union worker Appearance: Hans is a pale, wrinkled man that stands 5'10" and weighs 166 pounds. He has an awkward stance, a hunched position with his left foot always farther back than the right. He is a stocky person, and his body, if he stood straight, would have resembled a pear. Crusty, thick calluses on his palm, yellow chipped fingernails and an ugly burn mark on his left hand, Harold is not a man of looks. As for his facial features, Harold is a balding man, with his oily brown hair swept left. He has a wrinkly forehead, and on it lays his thin, long eyebrows. He has green, drooping eyes that seem empty as you stare into it, a sharp roman nose, dry pink lips and a brown chevron mustache. Harold, at the moment of the party, wears a yellow plaid button down, which seems to be starting to wear, a blue wool vest that is beginning to pick up lint, a red tie, black worn dress shoes, and a brown cotton suit jacket with pants of the same color and material. He also wears thick, vintage glsses.
The glasses look like this : http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0255/3587/t/3/assets/blog_Vintage-Playboy-4619-20-Sunglasses.jpg?28763

Hi damaged self-confidence makes him an easy target of thugs and people in general. [Shy]- As already guessed, his social outcasting, damaged confidence and lack of friends make him a generally shy person [Angry]- Despite his seemingly friendly appearance, Harold is an angry man.

He was the unwanted child, growing his whole childhood in the Yosemite Orphanage. This orphanage, when he was about to enter college, was bankrupt he was forced to skip college and begin work. He took the job as a Union worker and met his wife Gina at a coffee shop. Together, they had a baby, but Gina tragically died at childbirth. Forced to support a family with a Union salary, Harold tried his best to support his daughter, who ended up hating him for his "absence" and "lack of money".

Though not invited, Harold's daughter, who didn't even bother to keep her father's last name, showed barely enough pity to let him stay. Skills:Keeping secrets. Harold is the mental punching bag of everyone he knows. He is also a proficient shooter, taught by a friend of his back in Union. Weaknesses: Socially reclusive. He is unable to make friends. Room Description: A simple room with a red/gold wallpaper and a king-sized bed, an ebony dresser and a mirror to the left of the dresser.

Name: Elaine Coron
Age: 17 years old
Gender: Female
Occupation: Waitress
Appearance: Elaine has dark auburn hair- looking quite like a dark red, the roots being a darker color. Her hair reaches down to her thighs, messy and unkempt, since she is a classical bed-head. Elaine is a petite girl, who stands at a five foot and three inches and weighs, at most, seventy-nine pounds. Her skin is that of a light, pale-ish beige tone and her eyes are quite big- the color of amber, and long, dark lashes framing them. Her nose is small, her lips a light pink tone, and her hands look delicate. She also has four tattoos on her wrist:
-Heart: A small red heart -Spade: A small black spade -Diamond: A small red diamond -Club: A small black club
Personality: Elaine is a keep-to-myself type of person- she doesn’t tell anybody about herself, and most of her secrets are known to herself. However, when she meets other people, she tends to act cold and distant towards them. Elaine may also act emotionless and blunt- barely showing signs of sadness, remorse, nor pity. She finds it difficult to trust people she just met. Deep inside, Elaine can be a caring and kind person, yet she doesn’t show this part of her.
Biography: (How you met this common friend, how you came to the island, etc.) Elaine was raised in a strict family. However, she was always rejected by her parents. The truth was that Elaine’s parents thought she was a monster, and they were ashamed of her. When she grew up, Elaine socialized with other people, thus resulting to her meeting her common friend. Soon, Elaine moved away from her parents, coming to the island to live a more peaceful life.
Skills: Due to her light weight, Elaine is quick and agile. She can poison people too, as she is a waitress, along with keeping things to herself.
Weaknesses: Elaine’s coldness tends to push people away, and she can be weak at times.
Room Description: (Not much is required here.) Elaine’s room is decorated with lavender and light maroon wallpaper. Her room consists of a Queen-sized bed, an Oak dresser, and a tall mirror in the corner of her room. Her bathroom is also decorated with lavender and light maroon wallpaper, the flooring consisting of tan tiles.

Name: Alanna A. Allison
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Occupation: College Student
Appearance: Let's do this in order. Hair, face, body, clothing, other. That means we're beginning with hair. Alanna's hair is a caramel blond, one that looks like you would get it from an artificial source. However, Alanna was born with little streaks of blond in her then-brown hair, and over time, they're blended together. She still has a single group of platinum blond hair right in the middle of her bangs, but the rest is just a h o m o g e n o u s mixture of light blonde and brown. It goes down to exactly 3 inches below her shoulders, and it's in between curly and straight. Her hair is wavy, and it gets in her face easily. Alanna's hair is extremely thick, so she usually ties it back in a high ponytail. This moves her bangs away from her face and makes Alanna look much more mature than she actually is. Alanna rarely cuts her hair, due to lack of supplies and an overall not-wanting-to. Now, the next part. Alanna's face. Her eyes are a weird color....both are an extremely light blue. At least, that's what MOST people say. They're actually very clearly grey, but apparently eyes can't be grey. Alanna's eyes are the color of a storm, and when she gets angry....well, let's not comment on that. There are a few little specks of blue in her eyes, but you can only see them if you look closely. As for the rest of her face, Alanna's face is heart shaped. NO, it is not a giant heart on top of her neck. The biological definition of a 'heart-shaped face' is simply a head that is slightly larger at the top than the bottom, sometimes including a widow's peak. Alanna does not have the second part, but her face is not narrow either. Alanna's nose is almost a button. It's tiny, and it is sort of pointy, I suppose. Her lips are full, NOT for the reasons you might assume. She simply likes to pout. Alanna's skin color is pale, as she originates in Sweden. Alanna fits the stereotype Swedish look, but not the 'Ja!' stereotype. That's just stupid. next, Alanna's body shape. She's extremely thin, but not unhealthy. Alanna despises working out....at least in the normal way. She prefers running and jumping and climbing trees....and what? Oh, right. Hence, Alanna's much more agile than she is muscular. Alanna is a fast runner, and her body shape reflects this. Next, we go on to clothing. Naturally, Alanna's outfit is not the same every day. She usually wears jeans that are similar to each other, which means that they're bootcut and dark colored. Bootcut means that they're wider on the bottom than at the top, as Alanna abhors skinny jeans with a vengeance. Alanna's pants are most likely going to be a dark blue or black, and if she does wear something other than long pants, it will never be short shorts. Every once in a while, Alanna will wear a pastel dress or skirt, but that's it. Now, the shirts. Alanna usually wears something simple on top, whether this be a long sleeved or a short sleeved shirt. These tops are normally a pastel color, sometimes with a design on them. Alanna has a light pink, snowflake pattern jacket which she wears nearly all of the time. It's lined with a natural grown (as in a plant) type of fake fur, which makes it really warm. Alanna only takes this jacket off during the summer or on hot days. In the shoe department, Alanna wears simple tennis shoes, which are black with hot pink stripes. Finally, we arrive at the 'other' part of Alanna's appearance. Really, the only thing that hasn't been covered yet is Alanna's necklace. Alanna always wears this golden chain necklace with an amethyst set in matching gold hanging from it. She never takes this off.
Personality: Alanna has always been a leader, as she adores being in control. This led to her having a bit of OCD.....just enough so that she'll walk around a room for hours straightening the books. Alanna despises being told what to do, and will argue until she loses her voice if anyone tries to control her. She doesn't work well in groups when everyone doesn't listen to her, and doesn't like boys. At all. Ever. She might be nice to boys who aren't popular, but Alanna has always been against the "OMG, like, whatever." kind of people. She would rather die than be one of them, but instead prefers to make her own friends in a tight knit circle. That's not to say that Alanna doesn't make friends easily. Alanna is a talkative, empathic person. She can tell when people are feeling sad, and knows when to shut up. She doesn't necessarily listen to this impulse, but it is there. Alanna is kind-hearted, and will fight for fairness. Alanna always sticks on the side of the underdog, and despises manipulation or cheating. She has a strongly set moral compass which she will stick by, even if it means breaking rules. Alanna is not generally a rule breaker, but she's not a complete 'I can't break any rules' type of person. However, Alanna does classify herself as a nerd. She loves to read, and will almost always have a book at hand. Her competitiveness drives her to get As in school, going above and beyond. Alanna doesn't like losing anything, so she will go to extremes in order to 'win'. To Alanna, you can win everything....even things that really aren't in any way a competition. Overall, Alanna is slightly OCD, a definite leader, a self declared nerd, and a very competitive person.
Biography: Alanna was born in a nearby state, the state of Massachusetts. She lived there for about 17 years, then graduated and came to Rhode Island for college. At Rhode Island, she lived with a friend for the first 2 years. There, she gradually met the community, gaining a temporary job as a waitress at the local Cheesecake reference. (Anyone get the reference?). Finally, she moved into the university dorms, and lived there. However, one day she got a letter from her original friend, inviting Alanna to this island.
Skills: Solving puzzles, noticing details
Weaknesses: Explaining her thoughts, and Alanna sometimes has fainting spells. 'sometimes' = pretty often. There's a big medical explanation which I won't put down here.
Room Description: Alanna's room is quite simple. It follows a pale peach theme, with the walls being a softened, pastel lime color. A small wooden, white streak outlines the perimeter about a foot from the ceiling, changing the look of the room. As for furniture, the room contains a (yes, this is allowed) water bed with a black headboard, a simple dresser, and a few other necessities.
Other: Auto-accepted, since I'm an admin. |
