The Shadows of St Utar - Semi Freeform Horror (Mature)

She sat in the silent darkness, her naked body shivering with the cold. She didn't know how long she'd been here - the all pervading darkness stole away and sense of time and space.

The distant sound of footsteps getting closer made her shudder with fear. The sound stopped nearby and suddenly the room was flooded in light. The face in the doorway was one that had always seemed kind. The vacant smile before her now only hinted of madness.

She began to cry silent tears as the figure reached for her and dragged her, unresisting, away from the chamber.

-----

The Shadows of St Utar is a horror game set in the present in the fictional village of St. Utar on the south wales coast.

The setting is detailed fairly comprehensively here - https://eldritchtales.miraheze...e_Shadows_of_St_Utar

It is essential you read this to play as it sets the scene and briefly introduces some important characters and events.

I am looking for 2-4 players all of which will have some connection with a missing college student, Veronica Davies. Ronnie has been missing for a month now with no leads as to her whereabouts. The players will all have a good reason to investigate her disappearance and find her.

I will expect 3 posts per player per week. I myself can only manage 1-2 posts Monday-Friday and I am usually active between 7 and 8.30 A.M. and between 1.00 and 2.00 P.M. United Kingdom time.

I will loosely be using the Chaoism  Call of Cthulhu 7th edition rules but only 'behind the scenes'. The game itself will be mostly freeform and the rules will only be used to handle things like sanity loss and unpredictable outcomes. I will use your character submission details to come up with your 'stats' so please be as detailed with your submissions as possible.

Acceptance as a player will NOT be based on a 'first come, first served' basis. I will wait two weeks from today and then select the 2-4 characters I like. If you are rejected please don't  take it personally. My decision will be based mainly on personal taste and those characters that I think will work in the context of the setting and plot.

We have one player so far - still fleshing out the background but so far they are a cousin of Susana Davies, the mother of the missing student and have flown over from the U.S.

Come and join in. You don't need to have any knowledge of Wales. You don't need to speak welsh (nobody speaks welsh in Wales anyway).

If you wish to be a vistor to Wales you could start by having a connection to Adena Marshall (Spanish), Or Veronica Davies (American, CA) or Naomi Summers (African American, from New Orleans), Or Tsukiko Miyamoto (Japanese)

I need another 1-3 players.

Room for just one more player.

So far we have two students and a journalist. The game has only just started.

Still plenty of time to join.

One player has had to bow out due to RL issues so we could do with another 2-3 characters.

So far we have a female British journalist and a female Chinese student.

The actual investigation hasn't started yet so no need to play catch up.

Still looking for players. We can take 2-3 more. The current 2 players are fairly active so there will be plenty of scope for PC interaction.

We have just started. The only thing of note is that a creepy girl has approached one of the PCs and warned her about the 'dream lady'.

Another player joined but they haven't posted yet.

Another girl. So now its Charlie's Angels vs Cthulhu.

Any more female characters? We could then turn it into a Lovecraftean twin peaks! Or perhaps some men to redress the balance?
