Detailed Roleplayers discussion

so what sort of plot or theme were you interested in from what i mentioned?

I really liked the eldritch horror ideas, the 1920s setting. Grishaverse is fun, but ive only seen the show so I'm not on the up & on lore and whatnot. Just kinda dont want a romantic plot.

I just started a grishaverse one with someone else so we could totally do a 20s eldritch sorta thing. are you familiar with any lovecraft stories or lore? it's totally ok if not because it's not really something you need to know, nor is it extensive beyond "these are the creatures and their names" lol. I'm good with no romance, we could each just play one character and have some adventure/mystery

Yeah I'm familiar with some. Azathoth is the man

Okay cool. I was thinking we could do something with a changeling sort of deal... The town our characters live in (in like 1927 or so I'm thinking) suddenly has a bunch of kids going missing and being returned in fucked up conditions. There's a huge lake in town and basically the premise is that Lythalia (a lesser known female entity, I made her daughter of Azathoth in my stories) is the sleeper beneath the lake and taking children and their life forces. Annnnd a bunch of mystery and weird shit is happening in the meantime that our characters are trying to solve

Dude that sounds so fun!! Totally into it. So, did you want to make characters now or?

Hi sorry! I got in a car accident a few days ago and I'm :)))) but anyway... we can make characters now if you'd like yes! I can write out a solid plot summary too so we can refer back to it

The year is 1927, it is the end of winter, and you are once again residents of the town Carcosa in eastern Maine. Old friends, neither of you have resided in the town since you were teenagers; both of you have returned for reasons that are your own.

Inquisitive to a fault, you've both been intrigued by the recent disappearances of children, something you recall from your own childhoods. The mystery effects both of you, hitting close to home, and you must team up to investigate what is going on before it is too late.

(In truth, Lake Hali is home to Lythalia, a benevolent entity and daughter of Azathoth. She is the Sleeper Beneath the Lake, and is corrupting children with eldritch blood in order to create a mass of being-slaves to aide her in her ascension out of her eternal rest.)

Name || Edith "Edie" St. James
Age || 24

Appearance ||

Personality || Edie is plucky and youthful, and has a hard time keeping her thoughts to herself, something that may have gotten her into trouble once or twice. She enjoys being active and outdoors, though she cannot deny the pleasures of sitting inside in a cozy chair while sketching with a cup of tea.
Interests & Skills || Tennis, dressmaking, drawing, finding the little details, reading people's emotions

Backstory || Edie was born in Carcosa, Maine in 1903, the third of four children (an older sister, an older brother, and a younger sister). Her family was poor but moderate in their survival, and she had a decent childhood—that is, until her younger sister went missing in 1918, when Edie was 15. A few other children in the small town went missing as well, and there were fears that some perverted child kidnapper was on the loose. In the end the children were found and returned, but so perturbed was Edie by her sister's behavior upon returning that Edie moved to New York City as soon as she turned 18. She found employment as a laundress, her main goal being to become a seamstress. Now six years later, a dressmaker in her own right, she has returned to Carcosa, called back by a mysterious family emergency—her sister is missing again.
