Disclaimer: This roleplay is inspired by a plot one of my friends wove in a short story. However, she gave me permission to adapt it into a group roleplay. Many elements have been changed to suit my liking, but the general idea is still hers.
The residents of Shadow Valley all know to avoid the manor on the eastern mountain. Strange rumors... Strange noises... A strange family who had owned the place over two centuries ago. But it simply cannot be they who haunt the place, surely; hadn't it been they who had originally fled the place for the fear of someone who they said called himself "the Master?" But, alas... Who is the Master?
That's exactly what four teens set out to learn when they are grouped together to do a project on local legends for their myths and legends segment in history class. No one else dares to do a project on the Master and the Diabolus Manor, a manor nicknamed literally with the Latin term for "devil." So they set out to find the place, to discover the truth even though they know that two kids disappeared in the area three years ago, never to be seen again, assumed dead by all.
Actually, the Master has kept these two alive within the manor, feeding off of their fear as he tortures them for his own entertainment. However, the older, female prisoner is the one her really wants... he just threatens the younger boy to get her to do what he wants her to do, when he wants her to do it. Once he has forced the girl into love for him, he will trap the boy's spirit in a doll to add to his collection of forty-six souls trapped within dolls for all of eternity.
Soon after the Master took over the manor originally, a Guardian Spirit was enlisted to keep him in the manor and to keep curious locals away by any means necessary. Throughout a few years, two more Guardians were sent for her to lead and to allow them to assist her in her task.
When these four local teens delve into the manor's properties to learn more about the Legend of Diabolus Manor, they give the three Guardian Spirits more trouble than ever. And somewhere along the lines, the Master learns of their entrance to the grounds... What pretty dolls they'd make, too...
Front of the Grounds
A small dirt pathway leads to the manor door. Overgrown rose bushes flank the manor's front walls, curling forebodingly halfway up the dirt-smudged first-floor windows. A rusted iron gate leads to the main yard of the front grounds. From the gateway to the door, large stones line the pathway. The grass is around a foot high, but it doesn't seem to grow much more than that, and trees cast shadows over the land even during the day.
Back of the Grounds
Another dirt road branches through the back yard, leading through an overgrown garden with a fountain and two rotting wooden benches. On the other side of te garden is the servant's quarters, stablehouse, and the family graveyard. Its grass grows in the same way as the front yard, and trees still cast shadows over the land.
First Floor
The first floor of the manor hosts a large living room with a grand piano in it. Once you pass through the living room, you end up in a majestic dining room with a glittering chandelier in it. Also on this floor are the kitchens, a sun room, an entertainment room with various instruments in it, and a large study with many books.
Second Floor
The second floor hosts ten grand bedroom suites. Each suite has a small antechamber, a sleeping room, and a washroom furnished grandly.
Third Floor
The third floor is merely a large attic filled with boxes of various belongings. It's also where the Master shelves his dolls.
Basement
There's a decent sized wine-cellar in the bottom floor, as well as a small workshop, a playroom, and a cozy den.
1) No god-modding, power-playing, or auto-hitting.
2) Be creative! No Mary-Gary Sues will be accepted!
3) Be courteous of all other participants! If you have an issue with someone, please PM me and I'll take care of it. c;
4) Doubling permitted, assuming that you do not take two Guardian Spirits, two of the investigating teens, or both prisoners
5) Please try to post twice per week for each character you control.
6) Romance is alright, just don't go too far. :/
7) While this is considered a horror RP, that is mainly for the premise of the story and the concept of trapping souls on earth in dolls. Blood may be shed, but I don't expect more than one or two characters to die, if any of them end up dying.
8) Please try to post at least one paragraph of five to seven sentences per post.
9) If you'd like to play the Master, state it on this thread and then PM me so I can give you a bit of information on him. c;
10) Have fun! <3
