RP Theme Song
Alright, for those who don't already know by the title, this is a Scooby-Doo RP. Actually, it's a reboot of an RP I did here a few months ago (due to people dropping/not replying for multiple reasons, it didn't get too far which sucked because the people who were in it were all great).
Before you ask, this RP was filled with OC's (except Scooby, who was the only returning M.I. character), so it was an all original concept based in a fandom world.
I won't post the whole OoC here again, but the general idea of the RP was something akin to the plot of "13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo". Here's the cliff notes version:
After accidentally unlocking a mythical chest containing the spirits of multiple demons, a group of Teenagers and a "brave" Great Dane must set out on a quest to recapture said demons. If all of the demons and their Demon Lord (who, centuries prior, managed to not get locked up in the chest, then waited for a mortal to be tricked into freeing its comrades) are not captured before the realm of the supernatural (Heaven, Hell, and the Netherworld) meets with the Mortal Realm as it does every 10,000 years (for a limited time), then the demons and the Demon Lord will unleash a demented army of monsters/demons that will destroy the world and bring about the apocalypse.
This RP, much like some of the best Scooby-Doo films/episodes (the 80's-90's films starting with Zombie Island and ending with Cyberchase, the live action films *I don't care what people say, I loved that shit as a kid as it's still cool now*, and even a few episodes of the various incarnations of the show) will deal with the ever terrifying idea of Real life monsters. The world of this universe is already dark enough (most of the people in costumes the gang has taken down are actually deranged serial killers or master criminals who won't hesitate to slaughter those "meddling kids" or anyone else who gets in the way of their plan, even if it's bat-shit crazy), so imagine what dealing with a blood-thirsty demon creature would be like.
I'm looking to make this a more "Horror" styled RP (some possible themes involved with it range from: demon possession, zombies, seances, murderous psychopaths, blood-thirsty demons, gruesome/horror-inspired character deaths (can be from the main cast or an NPC), and more), while still combining some elements from the series in there as well (ex. Comedic scenarios where we "trick" the villain, the classic "chase", and maybe a stupid reference or character/villain who comes from the series). Hell, I already explained in the original thread that Scooby was able to talk because he was actually "cursed" by a real-witch as a puppy before being moved to a pet shelter, so this is going to be a little different from how a "normal" Scooby-Doo RP would work.
The main focus won't be on solving mysteries or searching for clues (in my experience, that works really poorly in an RP setting as the primary focus), but they'll still play a part in the story telling. The primary focus will be more on the "Adventure" involved with re-capturing the demons and the Horror scenarios surrounding the ghost hunt.
So, I'm looking for 2-3 people who'd be interested in doing this. The maximum I'll probably accept is somewhere close to 8, but sometimes smaller casts work out better. I'd also want you to be dedicated, as in TELL ME IF YOURE DROPPING OUT! I get real life can be a pain, but if you know you're gonna be busy for a while and can't post, then just a heads-up would be nice. We can NPC your character if we really need to until you return, but it would be nice to have everyone working on this as often as they can.
Anyways, if you're interested just post below and I'll do my best to answer any questions you may have. If you're interested in checking out the original thread's idea, here's the long version:
Legends speak of a Chest. A chest of unspeakable evils, containing the spirits of multiple demons who broke through into the mortal world. These demons were after a very unique treasure that would allow them to release the rest of their kin from the pits of Hell and bring about the end of the world: the Apocalypse. In response to this threat, a group of legendary heroes ventured far across the landscape of their world to capture these demons and send them back to the fiery depths of Hell from which they came. Succeeding in their mission, they managed to round up the dangerous creatures and sealed them away in the chest. Once the demons were in the chest, they hid it somewhere far from humanity, in a place where nobody would ever find the chest again. There, it was to lay, watched over by a guardian who made sure it would be undisturbed by mankind, forever..
Unknown to the heroes, one of the demon's, a powerful being known as "Asakon", had avoided capture and remained free. Asakon did not reveal himself to the heroes, for he knew they would seal him away just like the others. So, he spent the next hundred years hidden away, plotting in secret to release his comrades and finish the job they had started. In this time, all knowledge of the chest, the apocalyptic artifact, and the demons faded from the world. But, whispers of a dark figure roaming the lands, searching forever for an object he desired above anything else began to arise. There were multiple names for the tall, dark, slender figure throughout history of the myth: "The Follower", "Windigo", "The Woodsman in Black", "The Apparition", "The Pale Faced Man", and many more. But as long as Asakon remained free, the chest could not be sealed properly.
Now, over a century later from when the demons were trapped in the chest, a group of teenage friends just graduating high school, are introduced to the picture. These friends have started a business of their own, investigating paranormal phenomena across America. Most of the creatures, spectres, and demons that they've investigated, however, have turned out to be fakes: men and women wearing expertly crafted Halloween costumes with the purpose to either scare away groups of people in order to acquire treasure of some kind, or commit crimes from Theft, to First Degree Murder based on past childhood traumatic incidents and fears. One day while investigating into a strange figure seen lurking around in a forest abducting and murdering the townspeople's children, the friends stumble upon an ancient ruin hidden deep underground. They soon come across the legendary chest and accidentally unleash the Demons contained upon the world.
When the guardian warns them of the consequences for what they've done, they discover that their fate has been tied to something greater then they could have imagined possible. So now, its up to the teenagers, along with their mascot, a very meddlesome Great Dane, to find and recapture all of the Demons. This time, however, they must find Asakon and capture him as well, finally ending the struggle that was started so long ago. But time is short, and the Demons are on the hunt for the artifact that, when used on the day the Supernatural World combines with the Mortal World, would unleash a massive army of demented creatures and monsters, ensuring the Apocalypse. With multiple Demons running free, the threat of religious extinction of the mortal world in only a Year, and the task of saving the world placed upon a group of teenagers, only one question remains:
"SCOOBY-DOO! WHERE ARE YOU?!"
