My cousin came to me with an idea for a game, and I thought it was absolute genius. For those who do not know what a 'one shot' is, it means once the main 'quest' is done..that is it..the Roleplaying game is over. Yes this is for a Forum Roleplaying game..anyhow..now the idea.
What if the stories were wrong? What if the monsters that society has been brought up to fear were NOT the bad guys? Vampires, Werewolves, Mummies, Frankenstein...what if they were actually trying to protect humanity from something far far worse. Ever wanted to play as one of the classic creatures?
The characters would be one of the children (or great grandchildren, etc) of one of the greats. Even a Van Helsing (though he/she would have to be a 'monster' also). You pick a 'monster' from one of the horror tales of yore, and play as one. Each monster of course has advantages and disadvantages, and you have to keep your 'heritage' a secret..least the population at large try to hunt you down.
Each monster is just coming into their heritage, and their powers are just developing, so some powers they just wouldn't have yet. But that would be discussed later. Any takers?
((Shorten some names (when possible) for my own ends))
Jay - Ulrick "Rick" Angstrom - Troll.
Jedi - Arisa Holt - Vampire.
Kanalah - Sunny "Sunfire" Aniwayha - Werewolf
Ironclad - Reggie Tinkerson - Zombie
Andara - Beset "Bes" Al-Alawi - Mummy
WoodenSunshine - Fiona Blum - Gorgon.
Elspeth - Kayln Darkwynd - Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde.
Pixilated - Livia Fletcher - Werewolf.
