This roleplay is the 14th in a series of fandom crossover RPs referred to as the Murder Series, named such due to most of the games carrying a murder mystery theme or something similar. This particular iteration is based off elements from the Danganronpa series, the Alan Wake series, and series inspired by Twin Peaks. Absolutely zero knowledge of the canons involved or the previous RPs are or will be required for this game.
You wake up on a school bus driving down a lonely road deep in the Pacific Northwest. You're not sure how you got there or why-- you just don't remember. Were you kidnapped? Is it memory loss? What else could it possibly be? As you try to wrack your brain for answers, you can't help but notice that this bus is packed with other people and you likely don't recognize a single one of them.
As the bus winds its way along the forest road, you soon find it's on its way toward a quaint little town called Bright Falls. No one can be sure if they've heard of it, and it's not entirely clear if the town is everything it seems...
"Hey! Wait a minute!"
"That sounds way too sinister! No, Usami is here to help! I may not look like it, but I am your squeezably soft teacher, and I am your chaperone for your school trip! I'm going to accompany you students on the trip of a lifetime! You'll take in the scenic sights of Bright Falls while you enjoy yourselves some authentic outdoors living in the town's national park! Let your heart embrace a simple lifestyle in order to cleanse your soul!
So, just have fun!"
Every single character will be referred to as a "student", but they have no real role. In that sense, essentially, there are no roles in this game and so everyone is on equal ground.
However, this does not mean the game won't involve murder mysteries. Unlike past games, NPCs are the characters the players have to mistrust. In this game, the NPCs (played by myself and my co-GMs) will be the murderers, and the players will be roped into investigating their crimes.
The plot of the game will revolve around this string of murders and the tone of the ending will rely on the players' ability to investigate the clues and pinpoint which NPCs committed the deeds.
"Wait! No way! No one will die, that's ridiculous! There's nothing dangerous about Bright Falls! Everyone is so nice and welcoming! Besides... we won't even have to run into any of them! We're just camping out in the woods! Fun!
Please, everyone, don't worry about a thing!"
1. You must follow in accordance to Iwaku's rules.
2. No OOC talk in the IC. Please take all OOC discussion to the group's General Chat and all roleplay discussion to the group's RP Discussion.
3. No godmodding or metagaming. It is heavily preferred that most discussion related to the RP's investigations occur IC as opposed to OOC. If you're unsure what godmodding or metagaming is, refer to either [BCOLOR=transparent]WORKSHOP - Godmodding and Metagaming[/BCOLOR] or this blog post.
4. Players of any writing ability and preferred post length are free to post how they like. One or six paragraphs, as long as it's in-character, it's fine. I also have no qualms with players wishing to use pictures or gifs in tandem with their posts, but do please keep image spam to a minimum and try not to use very large pictures. If you do use a picture, please make sure to include text as well, as posts consisting of just a picture/gif, no matter how in-character, will be considered OOC talk or spam.
[BCOLOR=transparent]5. More of an addition to the above rule, do try your best with spelling and grammar. It doesn't have to be perfect, but it needs to be understandable. An on-site guide to grammar you can[/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent] read [/BCOLOR][BCOLOR=transparent]through for help can be found here: WORKSHOP - Grammarholics Anonymous - Your Grammar Guide!.[/BCOLOR]
6. Some certain actions and events might require dice rolls, but only if I say so. It won't be a common thing.
7. Due to the speed of the game, 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 required. 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, as that is far easier than trying to keep tabs on everyone. Summaries and important GM posts will be made prominent.
8. I won't be allowing duos for this game. Only one character can be applied for.
9. OCs are allowed, but only up to a limit of five. I would rather fandom characters outnumbered OCs.
10. All character powers, no matter how big or strong, will be removed. This basically includes any supernatural or fantastical ability beyond that of a regular human/alien/robot/whatever you choose. Characters that require their powers to live or project themselves in some manner will be able to live/take on that form without the use of their powers. There will be an in-character reason for these power nerfs.
11. Please post once a chapter. Chapters will generally last from a few days to a week in length, though that time will likely increase as the RP goes on. Not doing so will result in your character possibly being removed from the game. At the very least, PM me if anything comes up and I'll do my best to keep you around.
12. Be respectful toward everyone! Have fun!
"Everyone, I have some of my own rules in place to promote a peaceful environment and healthy living! Please keep them in mind!
1. Extreme violence is prohibited on this trip. Please live peaceful and relaxing lives with your fellow students.
2. Be considerate of each other and work together!
3. Littering is not allowed. Let us coexist with the forest's bountiful nature in "mutual prosperity".
4. Destroying any National Park property is expressly prohibited!
5. The chaperone cannot directly interfere with the students. An exception to this rule is made if any student violates a rule!"
