Necropolis Phoenix!

Boss Frost · Sep 25, 2010

Phoenix, Arizona! Land of the Wilting Cactus! The sun, the sand, the lack of water, the... undead!

Truth be told, all sorts of so-called "mythological" beings exist (or used to exist - you won't find dragons anymore!) and many of them live alongside human beings, blissfully unaware of the horrible creature that they might work with... go to school with... room with - heck, you could be having sex with one of them! If you knew about that the whole time, you're sick - and you probably know that, too.

One race in particular - the Undead. While many are feared and despised, a good deal of them are becoming romanticized in recent television and novelization... Damn vampires. The rest of us should have it so lucky! You know at least one 'type' of undead... zombies, poltergeists, mummies... even those nasty, nasty vampires are technically undead. Well, as I said before - they exist. I should know - I'm one of them, and I know a few more.

We have to keep our identity as undead secret from the humans, though. We've seen those movies, too - humans mowing down tons of undead and becoming victorious in the end. Sad to say, it won't happen that way if we try it... there are way more humans than there are us, and even with our power... well, the term 'massacre' comes to mind. I don't care if you have a zombie friend who can chew through walls, he won't last a shotgun blast to the face... and vampires may claim immunity to nigh-everything, but I'll bet what's left of my right leg that a tank would cut one down - easy.

Of course, part of that is having and maintaining a job, relations with humans... cover stories, stuff like that. One or two missteps can be overlooked - no one really takes the nutjobs screaming about 'undead among us' seriously. If all else fails and you -have- to feed, try and pin it on something that doesn't exist. Like aliens... heh, the alien getup always makes me laugh. Pretty much foolproof, too.

Oh, right! I almost forgot. My name's Sibuna Laer - I run a pretty cheap apartment building for folks like you - the Risen Phoenix. Good name, huh? Come by and see it some time...

(Yup - a modern game set in Phoenix, Arizona... the twist? All of you are Undead or Human. While some secrets should be kept, some humans can be trusted with the secret... or find out on their own, to their shock and dismay! After all, you were all human, once. While other 'supernatural' races exist, the spotlight's on Undead in here. You can get permission from me to play a non-undead/non-human race, but I would enjoy mostly undead or human!)

Well, have been thinking more about this. Going to be going with an undead chick, either Zombie or Wight (or some strange hybrid). Mummies, while cool, were not ever meant to be ambulatory undead, so something else will have to do.

Still gonna have her wear the bandages in places, to prevent decay/hide the ickier bits. So like a mummy, without the mummy.

Zombie would be bloodier, but Wight would be more human-like..

Probably not gonna be able to get stuff together until next week, though.

Sounds perfectly fine, Archy! I'll have time to wait.

Ooh, I'm thinking of making a human "psychic" who does all the palm reading, tarot cards, "exorcising", etc, but only for money, since she believes this is pretty much nonsense and ghosts and the like are figments of people's imaginations. :D

Would you mind if I played as a sort of undead that can seemingly change and re-arrange its physical form and internal/external organs, making it a bit of a pseudo-shape shifter?

Boss Frost · Sep 27, 2010

I don't see why not! There's a lot of undead that seem to do that already, like Shadows, some Ghosts, and other 'incorporeal' undead. Physical shape-shifters are a little harder, because except for Liches (dead sorcerers) and Vampires (said to be able to change into wolves, bats, and mist), few undead have magical powers that would give them the ability to shapeshift.

However, we're in a fictional Arizona with undead in it! You might be a whole-new, never-before-seen type of undead! =D Have at it!!

-Character Sheet-
Name: Kroylyrev Tsmertni
(Fun Fact: If you take away the "Kroyl" in his first name and the "Ts" and the "n" in his last name, you get "Rev Smerti", which means "Scream of Death" in Czech)
Age: 28
Ethnicity: Czech
Place of Birth: Czech Republic

Years Since Death: Nine
Type of Undead: Experimental
Place of Death: Lower levels of an old medical facility modified into the stronghold of a half scientific half occult organization.
Method of Death: (Undead characters only - How did you die?)

Job/Career: "Odd Jobs" - freelancer who takes a variety of usually rather strange tasks, as long as he gets paid, and not necessarily with cash.

Place of Residence: A sort of small and mostly unspectacular house somewhere in a quiet suburb. His office, a sort of small building similar to the one Gintoki from the anime series Gintama works at, albeit larger and more westernized, sometimes doubles as a home.

Personality: Mostly quiet and seemingly unassuming, often just minding his own business. Comes off as somewhat solitary, although not an antisocial person by any means. Keeps a close eye on his surroundings, observing others warily. Does not come off automatically as "nice" as much as he does blunt and sharp.

Bio: An ex-member of an occultist society and an initiate into the morbid arts, along with his brother. During an especially dangerous assignment, he was seemingly killed while fighting against a rival group, yet even in death he was incredibly defiant and full of inhuman perseverance. Ultimately, this iron will attracted the attention of a strange spiritual entity, one that was impressed by this. Effectively parasitizing his soul and converting his physical matter into a strange necrotic material, it returned him from the grave as some twisted, hellish monstrosity, although this is shrouded usually through a humanoid form.
