Castle of Beasts Signups / OOC

[Guma]

This is “Castle of Beasts”, a Murdergame set in my own planned-indie-game NME universe. It's set before NME (if it's even set at all), and is not affiliated with the same canon as the other Murdergames. The King has brought on 16 characters he believes to be affiliated with the NME Hunters’ Association so he can secretly snuff them out and deal a blow to the Association's integrity.

Every player has three stats: Attack, Defense, and Speed, which all start at 1. Players can permanently increase them with items. Every day phase, after the execution, there will be a daily raid battle against a certain NME opponent. Players must work together to defeat the opponent. Whoever lands the final blow on the opponent will have all of their stats permanently increased by 1, gain the ability to check the alignment of any player that night (living or dead), and have a 70% chance of surviving if targeted by mafia that night. If they're scum, of course, they only need to worry about the first part.

Battle System: Works very similarly to Super Smash Bros. Damage starts at 0 and increases with each hit. Everyone has a separate Knockout Gauge that fills more with each hit depending on how much damage they have. They are defeated if the Knockout Gauge is filled completely.
Non-normal attacks cost MP to use, even when missed. MP starts at 20 for ever player.

Vane Castle Map:


Rules:
1. General murdergame rules all apply.
2. No skipping votes, both in day phase and night phase. Someone must die each phase, except the first day. This is to keep the game going at a smooth pace.
3. No godmodding. Godmodding is when players reveal information that has not been established by the GM, auto-hit opponents without confirmation from the GM, talk as other players’ characters, and generally expect that whatever they say goes.
4. The split is 12 innocent to 4 scum, with no power roles. Scum chat will be a private Discord groupchat.
5. No information will be revealed about players after execution. No confessions.
6. Items may not be used during battle.
7. If you're not in the game, don't post in the IC thread.

[madface7]

Name: Dr. "Medic" Ludwig
Source: Team Fortress 2
Species: Human
Age: 45
Abilities: Ze healing, as vell as ze hurting; possesses a Medi-Gun with the ability to heal people and make them temporarily invincible, as well as bonesaws and syringes
Other: Speaks in this color

[KungFuCutbug]

“IT IS THE SPOOKY MONTH!”
“Let's play a murdergame!”

Name: Skid and Pump
Source: Sr. Pelo/Friday Night Funkin’
Species: human (the skeleton/pumpkin thing is just a costume)
Age: unknown, but pretty young
Abilities: stubborn unchanging determination, complete lack of fear whatsoever, each of them is strong enough to carry the other on their head, can make people dance by telling them it's the Spooky Month (it also works if they do it to each other)
Other: if one of them dies, the other dies too, yadda yadda yadda—this also applies to getting knocked out in battle (one gets KO'd, the other does too); Skid speaks in evil pale grey while Pump speaks in evil pale orange

[Kennifer]

I demand slot #8, 8ecause........

Name: Vriska Serket

Source: Homestuck

Species: Alternian troll

Age: Around 6 Alternian solar sweeps (it's about 13 Earth years but troll maturity is weird so whatever)

Abilities: Mind-control, sort of. It only works on certain troll blood castes and all she can do to humans is make them fall asleep. She is equipped with the FLUORITE OCTET, a set of 8 8-sided dice that can have any number of interesting results depending on the roll. (Roll results can be determined by the host using a RNG since otherwise this could be kinda broken. All 1's will backfire on her horribly, all 8's is ANCESTRAL AWAKENING, and other rolls can be determined as "ok this would be fun/funny".) If she has achieved the God Tier for her THIEF OF LIGHT class, she'd be able to steal luck from opponents, but this doesn't have to be the case if it's too broken.

Other: Speaks in this shade of 8lue. Replaces "ate" sounds and the letter B with eights. Uses 8-eyed smiles like this: ::::). Can be a bit dramaaaaaaaatic. Oh and she's totally the gr8est person ever (except not really).

Name: George Wood
Source: Gaming in the Clinton Years
Species: Human

Other: Talks in orange Courier New.

[TalesofUnder]

Name: Roger Wilco
Source: Space Quest
Species: Xenonian (basically just a human)
Age: Idk man... 26?
Abilities: Janitorial skills, saves the galaxy on occasion
Other: Speaks in gold text.

[artsyGeek]

Name: Sylvester "Sylvie" Ashling
Source: Epithet Erased
Species: Human
Age: 15
Abilities: His epithet, "Drowsy", can make people fall asleep and turn their dreams into reality - usually nightmares. He can also fight with a yoyo.

[Subparman]

Name: Alwyn Soleil
Source: Pillar Kingdoms and/or D&D probably
Species: Human
Age: Like 26, but don't ask
Abilities: Typical elemental artificer shit, illusions, Mary Poppins umbrella for some reason
Other: Speaks in #aaf0d1. ...Hopefully that's actually visible.

[GoldenCityBird]

Name: "Roundabout" (Nigel Braithwaite)
Source: Carmen Sandiego (2019 series)
Species: Human
Age: Unknown, presumed 40s-50s.
Abilities: Masterminding plots and schemes (many of which had succeeded, and one of which earned him a seat on VILE's council), diversion-focused stealth, fencing (shown to have used a sword concealed in a cane), other skills that may be associated with being a spy.
Other: Speaks in maroon text (assuming it works. I will be using punctuation as well). Can be a bit of a Smug Snake at times. Speaks in a roundabout manner, preferring to imply rather than outright say.

[MadeOfMilk]

Name: Boris
Source: Youtube (Life of Boris)
Species: Human
Age: Unknown, but somewhere in his mid-late 20's
Abilities: Cooking, squatting, computer programming, operating on copious amounts of alcohol, and making stupid decisions that somehow work. Pseudo-expert on weapons.
Other: Slav Superstar and Shashlik King. Speaks slightly-broken English in BOLD ALL CAPS GOLD

[Mackie]

IT IS UNWISE TO PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITIES WHICH MAY RESULT IN GRIEVOUS BODILY INJURY.

Spoilsport.

Name: Jessie Faden
Source: Control
Species: Human ???
Age: 28
Abilities: As a parautilitarian, Jessie has the ability to bind herself to certain objects of power and exploit them. She needs to be in physical contact with an object in order to bind to it. For roleplaying's sake, she is currently bound to a floppy disk which gives her minor psychokinetic abilities, and the Service Weapon, which she carries on her person and is currently in the form of a six-chamber revolver. The host may set a cooldown time to these abilities as they deem proper, in-game it is per six shots of the gun or per two uses of telekinesis. She has a psychic connection with an extradimensional being named Polaris, who Jessie views as a friend and often communicates with for guidance.
Other: Jessie speaks with #0600C2 text. If Polaris shares thoughts with or speaks through Jesse, she will speak in BOLD, #11515a ALL CAPS. Polaris is not omniscient, nor does Jesse understand her most of the time. Most of the guidance Polaris gives is moral support.

[psychedelicate]

Name: Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu
Source: Super Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair
Species: Human
Age: Early 20s, presumably
Abilities: He's the Ultimate Yakuza, so he's good with guns and can also think pretty strategically.
Other: Talks in this shade of yellow/gold, often in a dismissive manner. Can and will be pretty fucking rude.

[door-kun]

Name: Peko Pekoyama
Source: Super Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair
Species: Human
Age: 21-22.
Abilities: She's the Ultimate Swordswoman, so she can and will absolutely kick your ass. As well, she can use other melee weapons besides swords incredibly well.
Other: Talks in this shade of gray.

[wahoothis]

Name: Klonoa
Source: Klonoa
Species: Cabbit [Fans call him a cabbit while others say he's a long eared cat.]
Age: Unknown, but around teen years.
Abilities: Large amounts of hope, friendly yet naive nature, accident prone. Lack of fears to monsters and ghosts. Ring that can shoot wind bullets that inflate those that are hit, allowing Klonoa to pick them up and either throw them at an enemy or object, or use it as a means of double jumping. The ring also has the ability to create a blade or a shield-like dome in front of Klonoa.
Other: Speaks in this shade of blue
   

[Billy5545]

Name: FrostNova
Source: Arknights
Species: "Human" (More specifically, an Ancient, with FN belonging to the Cautus or rabbit race)
Age: Unknown, as Arknights rarely gives age in numbers to characters. However, the timeline of FrostNova's life story implies that she's around her 20's of chronological age, though she's most likely already an adult. (each races in Arknights age at different rate)
Abilities: FrostNova's Originium Arts (the Terra/Arknights' world version of magic) has the ability to lower the temperature of the area around her. She's exceptionally powerful at this. She can use it to freeze a wide range of area in just few seconds. In addition, she can also use it to freeze people, though it takes few minutes to kill them and depends on how much can the victim resist. However, the victim is still going to suffer from effects of being in cold temperature, including being slowed down. Next, she can also fire a magical blast at her victim. Finally, she can conjure up ice crystals from the air, which she can either use to hinder enemies or impale them. However, her abilities have a weakness in that overusing them will accelerate the progress of a terminal disease that she suffers from, Oripathy. As she is currently in the late stage of the disease, she is already close to death. This means that if she wants to survive, she cannot go all out and use her full potential.
Other: Here's her appearance. Also she speaks in this color.

We have a game! Thank you to everyone who signed up!

I don't intend to start this immediately yet. I want to accommodate for all of our current games. Plus, I still need to create the map.

[Guma]

AMENDMENT: Whoever wins the daily challenge will also have a 70% chance of surviving if targeted by scum that night. This ensures that the scum does not always go after them.

[Guma]

AMENDMENT: Daily raid battles will happen after executions, not before.

[Guma]

Map has been added. Game starts tomorrow, Feb. 7.

I do appear to have missed a lot of stuff that I should've seen, since I haven't been paying attention to it that much. There was clearly a lot of work put into this, but I just don't feel all that interested in continuing. I'd like to relinquish my spot here to someone else.

Sorry to hear that. Signups are now open again. The next day phase will not start until I have a replacement.
