Bloodborne: The RP

Post by Kaori »

"We are born of the blood, made men by the blood, undone by the blood. Our eyes are yet to open... Fear the old blood."
-unknown

Hidden amongst the furthest reaches of the treacherous eastern mountains, the city of Yharnam lies in seclusion. Forgotten. Cursed. An affliction has plagued the city for countless ages, an endemic nightmare known only as the Scourge of the Beast. Those afflicted lose all sense of reason, transforming into deranged mutants and beasts. Night after night, "hunters" arise to cleanse the streets of these horrors.
You are an outsider to the city, seeking a cure for a mysterious disease. However, after a blood transfusion at a local clinic, you pass out and awake to a nightmare of blood, plague and death. Your only hope of escape is to serve as a hunter yourself, and descend into the depths of the ancient city to hunt the beasts and madmen that lie within.

"And so the nightly hunt begins..."


Okay, think of this akin to a nightmare creatures or Castlevania RP but with less undead, more focus on the beast monster people, so, here are the ground rules I'll set up:

Rules:
YOU CAN, AND WILL DIE, but not to worry, death will just send you back to the hub known as the Hunter's dream, a small victorian house amidst a field of flowers with an abnormally large red moon up in the sky, so don't feel too bad if I kill you off.

ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK, Lets put an emphasis on aggressive tactics here, you can side step, flash step, and dodge to your hearts content, unless you prefer to lug around a suit of armor and a sword and shield, you archaic loonie.

Weapons, I'll allow weapons that are steampunk in nature, firearms are allowed and advised as stopping power will be useful in staggering your opponents, weapons such as pile bunkers are allowed, and no, there is NO MAGIC, wankers.

Template:

Biography: Years ago, the Church of Healing had all the answers. It was their blood that cured the illnesses, and it was their blood that made me strong again. Now, however, sickness has faded and strength has reached me. I joined the Church of Healing as a hunter to clear out the beasts... but something is amiss this year, as the Night of the Hunt draws near. Gods give me strength, that I might survive that which illness did not steal from me those years back.

I'm thinking of going as a gunner type of sorts, despite the fact that firearms in Bloodporne suck.

Biography: An older Hunter from a time when the Art of Quickening was still able to be taught. Mariya was a Hunter that enjoyed the thrill of matching strength & wits against the Beasts each year, discouraged not by failure, nor by forced reawakening. But for some reason, the drive was beginning to fade. Many comrades have left or gone mad and, as the Night of the Hunt begins again, she wants to know just what's causing it. To that end, she begun to hunt for Insight into this as well as Beasts to slaughter.

Pitch black, it was pitch black, the weary woman opened her eyes, she looked around for a doctor to signal, but realized she couldn't move her body, she could however move her head slightly, she moved it around to find a bloody nurse, only to see something that sent chills down her spine, a pool of blood, victoria wanted to scream, but found out her mouth was out of order as well, she looked at the pool with wide eyed terror, then, as if things couldn't get any worse, something was rising from the pool, it looked like a grotesque man until Victoria could make out the details, it was some sort of wolf creature, as if it could see her, the beast made a gesture with its claws that it was going to take its time with the poor girl, "somebody help me!" She thought to herself, unable to scream or call for help, but before the beast could get its claw near her, it suddenly burst into flames, it proceeded to howl in pain as Victoria tried to turn her head to see who set the beast on fire, all of a sudden, she felt like something was holding her head, to her horror, a ghastly abomination, with a twisted and distorted face clutched her head, soon, more of them suddenly appeared and held her down, before she knew it, they began to cover her vision and that was when a small fragment of her scream echoed before being muffled by the messengers.......

Draken Clover

Professional
Image

Age: 29

Bio:

'Always watch your back, and theirs'...'

What started as a little practice to defend himself at nights became an important part of life, fighting over and over to accomplish what it seemed to be an unreachable goal that was to obtain answers... Who or what started this? How do we end it...? With time the questions faded from his mind as the battles became a rutine.

As time passes,--unlike most hunters that left the place-- Clover didn't care much about the beasts and hunting but instead, enjoyed such activities. Putting his life in danger over and over wasn't something that bothered him, after all this was something he had been accostumed to by now: hunting non-conscious beings would it be for food, survival or fun... This qualifies as all three

Neither did bother him the fact that he has to die a little on the inside and the outside everyday...

Polishing his skills every night with more and more beasts, his favorite weapons includes a hunter pistol and a cleaver saw. Although many nights have passed since the first, he is still awaiting for the big one...

(Is this Ok?)

Consciousness... could it truly be defined as consciousness? He wasn't entirely sure. This dream... this dream, he'd seen it many times. Laying next to him, the massive sword he'd used many times in the past to hunt beasts... it just lay there... silent and unmoving. His hand gripped the handle and he slowly rose from the place he had awakened. This dream... this dream... this dream... Could he truly say he was awake? That was the important question... of the Hunter's Dream.

((Yeah, me & Zorolo have played quite a bit. I think I might actually know every weapon and their respective movesets.))


A scream... But not through the air. No, while plenty of horrific sounds dotted the air around Mariya at the moment, a scream, or rather, a human scream, was not one them. But Mariya 'heard' it nonetheless, echoing dimly though her blood. It was enough to momentarily distract her mind as her body continued on auto-pilot. Her clawed hand lanced deep into the neck and body of the wolf-like beast slumped before her. Visceral Attack, one of the so called 'Dark Hunter Arts', but also one of the most effective if you knew what you were doing.

A flex, barely a thought for her at this point of her experience, and she tore her hand out in a wash of blood that splattered her. The bite wound from a few seconds ago smoked and healed over from the warm blood as the creature gurgled and died at her feet. Blood was everything. Blood was life, blood could cure, and, supposedly, it had caused the Plague of Beasts too. She'd never bothered to see if that was true, or the raving of madmen, but it didn't matter at all to her now. The Hunt was starting now and she stood ready with the curved sword of her beloved Burial Blade as she walked through the streets of Yharnam.

Victoria opened her eyes and saw a grey sky, she looked around and realized the grotesque things were gone, she got up and looked around her surroundings, she saw tombstones, a field pf flowers, and a house on a hill, curious, she decided to go inspect it, as she walked the stairs, she saw more of those grotesque things near the tombstones, she looked to her left and saw what she thought was another person sitting, only to her shock it was a life sized doll, she backed away from it only to hear groans from the messengers behind her, she looked around and saw they were holding out somw objects, she saw they were weapons, she somehow felt like they were offering them to her, she politely tool them, she then continued up the stairs till she arrived at the house, only to realize it was locked, "great, now what?" She wondered as she was now stuck in some strange place.

((Neko, Z, how do I exit the Hunters Dream?))

(Go to the bottom of the stairs and interact with the tombstone with the white souls coming out of it, it should take you back to the only place you've been so far.
I have a question, will we be doing this just as in Bloodborne? I mean, we will be Roleplaying alone until one of us is called temporarily to someone else's aid? Having each their own version of the Hunter's dream? And only being able to see the blood echoes?... Or can we twist it a little bit, taking advantage of the RP and being able to be in the same place as another person without being summoned to a battle...? Just asking before i make my introduction post)

(For the purposes of this RP, it would be best if we all 'dream the same dream', so to speak.)


"Hmm... That smell. You're new here." It wasn't a question, but a statement as Mariya gazed up the path at Victoria near the door. As Mariya began her approach, she gave the Doll a Hunter's bow, whom bowed back in return. Well, for Mariya, it bowed back from where it stood, though Victoria merely watched the Strange woman to a sitting inanimate doll. "So... What do I call you, Ms. Hunter?" Mariya asked as she stopped a respectable distance from Victoria, her Burial Blade's curved sword resting on her hip for once.

"Hunter? Me?! Oh no miss, I just want to go home, I spent a lot of money to come to this city to have my illness cured but all I saw was people and their unhealthy obsession with blood! Please good ma'am, do you know how I can leave this place? I want to go back to Yharnam then leave as soon as possible." Said Victoria.

Zorlo stood up and gripped the cannon he had taken from the Powder Keg's arsenal. It was an intense weapon... but his immense strength made it possible to wield it... still, he preferred his sword. As the man placed the cannon along his back, he hefted his sword and rested the blade on his shoulder. He started off towards where he heard voices and saw two women there.

"Touch the gravestone, it shall return you to whence you've came here," the hunter of the church stated as he walked towards the elder woman and paused. "You... i know you... or I've heard of you..." the church hunter stated as he stabbed his sword and looked at the younger woman. "You are in the Hunter's Dream... which means you've been chosen as well."

"Chosen? I just want to leave!" Said Victoria, "I can't fight! I've never killed anybody or anything before! I admit I know how to handle a pistol but I don't want to fight those.... Things, ugh, my poor sanity can't handle this...." Said Victoria as she buried her face in her hands.

Mariya nodded to the Hooded Hunter as he emerged from the house. She could not remember his name, but his Face was familiar and the cannon on his back was unmistakable. She seen the power those things had and understood the strength needed to just hold one, much less use it. "Churchman. Gascoigne still well? I've not seen him of late," she asked him as Victoria started to break down.

In truth, Mariya had no sympathy for the woman. But then, she'd chosen and embraced the Hunt those many Years ago. "It'll have to, Ms.Hunter. Unless you intend to just remain here. Besides, there are worse things in this world to deal with then the Beasts," Mariya stated somewhat coldly to her. "You're a Hunter now, whether by choice... or by blood. You've taken the weapons, you've experienced the Dream." Turning partly, she pointed to the Grave at the bottom of the stairs to the house. "Now, Wake up and smell the blood," she finished as she turned to walk inside. She wanted to double check her equipment before really starting the Hunt. Or before having to save the new girl...

(Isn't more like... We're all 'Dreaming our own version of the same dream'? Off topic, i might have to edit this later for mistakes. Flash is on Warner)

The voices, they weren't usual in here. There were more people than the usual number, that is one. Finishing up the preparations for the next hunt or scouting-- I mean sighseeing through Yharnam -- I fix my hat on my head and my glasses with my finger.

On my way out of the house, i pick up my Cleaver Saw from the corner along with the Blunderbuss-- My principal choice as for firepower. The Blunderbuss resting on my left shoulder and the extended Cleaver Saw dragging on the floor, i push the door open with my left foot, stopping halfway intercepting another hunter entering "Such timing..." I glance at the female hunter's figure as i walk past the half-opened door and herself to the outside, trying to figure out what is going on out there.

A new face in town at least for me, along with a familiar strong man that i have certainly met before "Why the ruckus?" I asked curiously, my curiosity faded for a seconds while looking at the Cannon in the hunter's back "I believe you've saved my ass once before...? Who is the woman?"

Holding my Cleaver Saw pointing down i nail it into the dirt, resting my right hand on the hilt while examining the apparent new hunter. A nervous woman who had a shine of innocence in her eyes. The memories of my first time coming to this dream passed through my mind.

(Note: Z looks much younger than his image in his character does... just wanted to show off his armor)

Zorlo looked at Draken and remained silent for a moment. Removing his hat and pulling his hood back, he revealed his vibrant green hair and crazy glasses he wore. "Perhaps I have... Perhaps you met another with the cannon... I just took it from the Powder Kegs recently... but such power is truly valuable to my cause," the man said as he turned towards the woman.

"And Father Gascoigne left the Healing Church some time ago... but his legacy lives on in the hunt we are about to start. I believe he may still be lurking about."

(Awesome, though i love the ragged clothing one... Can't remember the name, makes you look like a reaper/dementor/etc. Sidenote: Let's not make a hair color fight, i was planning to make Clover's hair Red in the beggining... But that is up to you to accept the idea or not)

I noticed the hunter with the cannon took off his hat and pulled his hood back, surprised at his hair color unusual around these parts "So, there's more powerhouse hunters around here lately? I though this place was deserted, you shall call me Clover if you want" He took his hat off and vowed before putting it back on his head.

"I apologize for the confusion, i was anxious to meet any of the hunters who had stolen my prey in the past." I stopped for a few seconds to breathe before continuing "No hard feelings for the bad first impression i hope. As for the woman..." He glanced at Victoria "She looks agitated..."
