OOC: The Hunt
« on: October 20, 2014, 08:56:15 AM »
The Hunt




Overview
The Hunt will be an Interaction-based PbP game where your actions with the others players will determine the outcome of the game. The game is designed to be short with the endgame happening more quickly than in our other Universe-based PbP games.

Story
Welcome to the small village of Raynville, Scotland located in 14th century Europe. Being a small village, Raynville is home to a population of just over 300 and has a populace of mostly farmers, shop owners and innkeepers with everyone being devoted members of the roman-catholic church.

Life in the village has been safe for several generations, although recently there have been reports all over Scotland of a beings capable of wielding powers of a supernatural force, a force ruled unholy by the Church who in response had ordered the death of any and all involved with it. A force which went under the name of Witchcraft. With this decree, entire governments around Europe outlawed all who possess Witchcraft with a punishment of death if found guilty. Because of this, Thousands of Warlocks were forced into hiding around Europe to have a chance of living out a full life. Some escaped into the mountains and forests, forming camps of other Warlocks where they could live their lives. Others stayed in the cities and towns, afraid of the potential of not being able to survive outside of civilization while they covered their fore-arms to hide the symbols, making sure to limit their Witchcraft to only the most necessary of needs.

Sadly though, this would not last. For those within human civilization, a single slip-up was equal to death. And Those outside of civilization had increasingly began finding themselves on the receiving end of armies of religious followers who had been sent to capture and kill. It was not a good time to be a Warlock and it seemed that the Warlock species was facing an almost certain extinction. It was under this pressure that "The Hunt" was proposed. "The Hunt", a plan by the warlocks to deal unto the Humans what they had done onto them. It was a plan to exterminate the humans who have pushed them into this corner to begin with. A plan of sweet revenge. With the first step moving back into the towns which had threatened them all this time. Its either the Warlocks or the Humans, and this time, the Warlocks are determined to win.

Factions
Players will be split into factions, Warlocks and Humans, your faction which will be randomly chosen at games start.

Warlocks
Congratulations, you are one of the lucky few who have managed to be born with the Warlock Gene! As a Warlock, you have the ability to use magical spells. You can control the elements to shoot Fire, Ice, Water and Electricity from the palms of your hands. As long as you can focus on them, you can manipulate anything to allow you to push and pull them. And given enough time, energy and focus, you can even control the minds of those against you. When it comes to appearance, the Warlock species is almost indistinguishable from Humans with the exception of faintly glowing symbols on their forearms. Though their most worrying aspect is being above average in intelligence, an aspect which has been known to get people to suspect them.

Unluckily for you though, society is prejudiced. They find your powers over the supernatural inhuman and going against everything their religions have decreed. Members of your species are murdered day after day because of petty ideals and now your species is ready to fight back, tired of being unfairly oppressed. Your species is ready to kill and eliminate all of those pesky humans which have killed your friends, family and everyone you may have cared about in cold blood. Now is the time to fight back. Now is the time to kill. Now is the time to exterminate those pesky humans to secure your own future.

Humans
As a Human their is nothing to worry about. You wake up, You go to church, If your lucky you go to school and if not, you work. Occasionally you gather with the town to burn Warlocks at the stake. As for the reason, the church decrees it and you know of all the stories about the despicable Warlocks who have killed humans. For all your life you have been told they are inhumane and do not deserve to live and you go through with it because you see no reason to disagree, lest you wanted to be roped in with the village idiot. Being a human, you are naturally weaker than the warlocks, but you have the one thing they dont, numbers. If the word gets out of someone being a warlock, that warlock is generally doomed.

How to Play
The goal of the game will be to find and eliminate all the members of the opposing faction. Upon games start, a faction will be chosen for your character and you will be PMed the result. If your faction ends up being a Warlock, you will also be told the names of the other warlocks.

For the warlocks, you need to ensure that your role as a warlock does not escape to the Humans. You will need to go about your daily life within the village of Raynville and do everything possible to ensure that you dont catch the suspicion of the Humans. You will be working together with the other Warlock players to formulate a plan which will allow you to kill the humans... whether you decide to go one at a time or all at once, its all up to what you and the other warlocks decide upon.

For the Humans, your role is to the find the warlocks and kill them. While you do that, you go about your daily lives. If a Warlock happens to slip their role near your character then you have several options ranging from trying to kill them alone, trying to escape and being quiet, escaping and telling everyone in the town or in the most unfortunate case, death. Your character will never know who is a human and who is a warlock in disguise... so be careful.

As always the GM has last say in all conflicts and happenings. In addition, the GM will be operating any potential NPC roles

So I've actually had this idea floating around for awhile. Something fast paced that is vastly different than our usual Universe-based PbP games. In this, everything is local to a town and the region around it with a specific goal designed to allow us to do rapid games without worry of length or universe-building. In addition, it will have more of an Interaction based element than we've seen in our regular games.

Of course, since it still hasn't started yet, rules are still subject to change.
