H. P. Lovecraft RP
Dear Student of the Unexplained and Evil,
I am Proff. Vandervault, of the Archam University, and the keeper of the dreaded Necronamicon. I need, in the frankest terms, help. Chulhu, the terrible monster which has plauged our world from before we existed, is back.
Are you willing to help me?
I hope this reaches you with speed,
Proff. Vandervault
So, ready to take down Cthulhu? If you are not framiliar with the H. P. Lovecraft universe, I will explain. If you are an H. P. Lovecraft fanatic, like myself, I will make this interesting. Ok, I need a character sheet filled out COMPLETLY. Here is the character sheet. This is only for your character, and is not about real you.
Name
Age (Make it reasonable, lest I suspect an Old One's ploy to deafet me)
Lovecraftian expiriance x/100
Spellcasting ability x/100
Resistance to Insanity x/100
Where do you live (no Ismouthians, please)
Education
Lovecraftien Knowladge (number of Lovecraft books read)
Eldritch Knowladge (Would you like yoiur character to know something really evil?)
Backstory (either post it here, or explain as the story progresses.)
Other (Put something cool here, like pets, or combat abilities!)
Prefered Position (I will explain later)
Rules:
OP is allowed, bu when Cthulhu comes, he eats and/or makes OP people go insane first. I am the number one stotyteller. You can do small things, but please let me cover the big stuff, like the Dunwitch Horror coming back, or Yog Sothoth, Cthulhu's grandfather, coming out of hiding. So like the Boarding School thread, only with Cthulhu
This is the year 2016, so let's try and stop Cthulhu. But there is no knowladge of Cthulu, and Lovecraft was never born, so no handy-dandy Wikipedia. The only thing that we know about Cthulhu is from the Dreaded Necronomicon (please put 'dreaded' before 'Necrinomicon', or Cthulhu gets flash-summoned and eats you)
Please try only to RP in first person.
Cthulhu is green.
If you break any of these rules, bad things may happen, unless you break them in a fun way. (like writing a Wikipedia article on Cthulhu)
Please be a good guy. No Cthulhu Cultists are players. Cthulhu Cultists will be NPCs
You may die. Sorry.
Have fun, be safe, and don't respect unearthly authority!
POSITIONS
These are what special ability you have. Like being a nerd about computers, and hacking into the Cthulhu Cultist's email account, and stuff like that. I will assign them, after looking at the Character Sheets, and picking the best one.
Hacker, can hack computors
Weapon Master, can actully fight Old Ones. You can be a Martial Arts warrior or a Swordsman/woman
Journalist, can tell the public about possible danger using the media
Stratagist, can outwit Cthulhu by Positioning troops
Decypherer, (that's me!) can understand runes, Old Ones speach and many ther dialects
Apprentices (there will be six) Will be assigned to a person witha position, and learn their art. If the person with a position dies, the Apprentices take over.
That is it. Sorry it is so long, but this will be awsome!
(July 5, 2016 - 10:39 am)
Yayy! Please hurry, but there is no rush. There are ten spots left to fill.
(July 5, 2016 - 4:13 pm)
Are you going to make your character soon? Sorry, I am just really exited.
(July 6, 2016 - 3:37 pm)
So, the story will be taking place in Seattle, and parts will be in Portland.
(July 5, 2016 - 4:20 pm)
Dear Friend,
I have taken residence at the Crystal Ballroom (yes, this is a thing) in Portland. I await your arrival as I have booked several rooms there. Yig was sighted in the area surronding Clark County in WA. I hope you will hurry.
In good health,
Prof. Vandervault

Let's start. I was walking outside of Powell's Bookstore, walking to Blick's art supplies. I ran into a girl, a girl who had a bow. She dragged me into one of the hollowed out brick buildings that served as an entrance to the underground parking. "Pardon me saying this, but who are you?" she said.
"I am Profesor Vandervault of the University of Arkham." I replied
"Good. I am Lilian Mulvark of Dunwich."
"How did you find me?"
You are carrieng a copy of the dreaded Necronomicon."
"Ah, I see."
"Were the heck is the Crystal Ballroom?"
"Follow me."

Name: Delia Thornewell
Age: 16
Lovecraftian Experience: 100/100
Spellcasting Ability: 100/100
Resistance to Insanity: 20/100
Live in: Dunwich, too
Education: Schooled in the worship of Cthulhu...
Lovecraftian Knowledge: All books read.
Eldritch Knowledge: ALL OF IT.
Backstory: She's a priestess of Cthulhu.
Other: Keira knows everything about lore, plus dark magic from a certain eldritch god...
Preferred Position: Lore Master?
(July 6, 2016 - 9:14 pm)
Wait, what position are you? I didn't put Lore Master. So do you want to be my apprentice, or something else. So what does the lore master do? Just tell me and you can be the lore master. Sound good?
(July 7, 2016 - 9:45 am)
Changed my mind. You are the Lore Master, wich basicly means you know a lot of eldritch things. Also, random note, Magic The Gathering is doing an expansion wich is based on Lovecraftian work. It is so awesome.
(July 7, 2016 - 9:53 am)
Just a reminder; if you do not put dreaded before Necromomicon, Cthulhu wakes up, eats you, and you are out! This is a joke, because in every Lovecraft book, the Necrinomicon is called dreaded, so I assumed that there is some reason
(July 6, 2016 - 10:16 pm)
Two other people, can we get this thing started? Also, could you try and get a few more people in?
