Striving to be human (ADULT)

This game is in planning and so will evolve as it progresses. If you wish to contribute to the design itself then I'd love to hear your ideas.

You won't find the island of Midori on any map. Despite the Sea of Japan being one of the most explored (and over fished) areas of the world, including its close proximity to Japan, Russia and Korea no ships have ever encountered the island. Yet it exists.

Those who have found it have ether done so by 'accident' - drawn by some inexplicable force - or have sought it using methods and secret knowledge not accessible to most.

Some say it doesn't really exist in our world, but in a space between worlds, beyond an invisible gate that only a few can pass through.

The island is very small. Maybe only a few miles across. It is often warm, sunny and its shores are lapped by beautiful, clear crystal waves. About a mile off-shore, however, an opaque mist surrounds it.

The population is sparse. A single city sits near its western shore. A strange mix of Eastern and European buildings organically growing like a tree taking root from the shoreline. This is the city of Danketsu, a place like any other modern city, save for the strange clash of cultures and diversity of nationalities.

And of species.

Not everyone in Danketsu is human. Those that are human are laregly unaware that they are living amoung what they might consider monsters. But the word monster can mean many things to many people. The real purpose of both the island and the city is to unite rather than divide. And although a lot of the citizens are human, most of them share a common goal - to embrace the humanity within.

Not everyone shares this view, however. There are those who would seek to see Danketsu destroyed. Some who seek to corrupt it, turn it into a place of darkness. Others seek to merely exploit it for their own selfish ends.

Who will you be? Will you be a troubled human soul, drawn her by accident and hoping to start a new life? Or are you something else - Angel, demon, vampire, witch? Are you struggling to hold on to your humanity and live a normal life or are you hoping to give in to your selfish desires for lust and greed and power? Or are you a servant of the darkness that wishes to destroy this haven or corrupt it, enslaving the souls held within?

The Humanity Within is a freeform sandbox game. Players create their own stories. The GMs are here to provide guidance and to get involved with plots that may interest them, but it is the players that will drive this game. Success depends on the quality of those players. You will get out of this game what you put into it.

Come and join us.

Striving to be human (ADULT)

Wanted: Somebody to take control of Hanako Auichi-Stone.

This character is not fully fleshed out yet so you can make her your own. Any species you like, any background.

A few pointers, however.

1. Hanako is the wife of Richard Auichi-Stone and the stones are overlords and protectors of the city. Their rule is benevolent so I'm looking for a loyal and generally good character.

2. I would prefer Hanako's player to be female. I would also prefer them to have enough knowledge of Japanese culture to convincingly play her.

3. I will expect the Stones to become part of a few plots (player based or otherwise) as there are going to be elements that oppose the peace in Danketsu.

Also needed:

Staff for a Jazz club and a metal club. Japanese restaurant owners, Maybe a tattoo artist that specializes in mystical tattoos.

Also seeking musicians to form a band with one of the players (Richard Adams) and also a potential love interest - preferably a Japanese woman.

We also welcome new and original concepts and ideas for new races or locations or plots.

Striving to be human (ADULT)

Still seeking a player to take over Hanako Auichi-Stone

Also wanted:

1. Female lycan to play the beta to Dexter's Alpha. I am re-implementing a plot I hatched some years ago in a similar game about a 'love' triangle between Dexter, the beta and William James. PM me for further details.

2. Love interest for Richard Adams.

Preferred traits:

Japanese.
Potentially to become the main singer of his band.
Possible tie in to a plot involving dark forces threatening to take over the city.
Would most likely bring her into contact with other characters, at least the tattooist.

3. Members of a heavy metal band.
Needed: Drummer, Bassist. Possibly a violinist and a keyboard player.

This will possibly tie in with a main plot later on in the game.

All other character concepts welcome.

In terms of players there is now a slight imbalance in rations with several male characters with a female preference without writing partners so I will give priority to players wanting to play female characters with a male prefrence.

Also the following characters are needed (as listed in the adoption thread):

1. Wanted: Female lycan to play the beta to Dexter's Alpha. I am re-implementing a plot I hatched some years ago in a similar game about a 'love' triangle between Dexter, the beta and William James. PM me for further details.

2. Wanted: Members of a heavy metal band.
Needed: Drummer, Bassist (Taken). Possibly a violinist and a keyboard player.

This will possibly tie in with a main plot later on in the game.

PM for more details.

There is also a plots thread that list current plots running / in planning. You might want to take a look at those to see if you might like to be involved in any of them.

We have just lost a reporter for The Oracle. If anyone wishes to replace her then please do so. Any character concept will fit that role.

Also we have lost the female lycan that is a beta to Dexter's alpha and is having an affair with William (a gamma). This relationship didn't get a chance to play out so if anyone wishes to rtj for this role we can start afresh with a new female lycan to replace the old one.

All other concepts welcome.

Striving to be human (ADULT)

Still looking for a player to play a female lycan to be a beta who is the 'mate' of Dexter but who is having a secret love affair with William (a Gamma). The intention long term is for this character to become the new alpha, with William as her beta.

Some male PCs also need partners.
