Grimmshire was a prosperous metropolis, with population soaring every day and well functioning industry.
Until one night. The night that would become known as the greatest mystery ever to occur.
The City went silent.
Nothing was there. The place was a maze of empty streets. No people went through the once-bustling streets. Mansions that once exploded with activity became cemeteries.
Yet not everyone disappeared for good...
The Network
In the sewers of Grimmshire, the remaining men and women of Grimmshire hide away from the horror outside. The sewers have been cleared up, and a morbid city has been formed underneath the 'Silent Cemetery' as locals call the outside. This dirty excuse for a home is known as the Network. All characters start here.
Rules:
No profanity. No swears, no vulgarity at all. Not even censored, just don't. You can invent your own swears if you like, that's fun.
Please, while this thread is gothic horror, spoiler gore and keep it roughly PG-13. As it's a horror, vivid descriptions of horror are allowed but not recommended.
Please do not be mean to other players, that isn't tolerated. Peoples characters can have beef, but make sure that doesn't come into the real world, OK?
Cut your quote chains. No more than 3-4 in each chain if possible.
Character sheets aren't supposed to be used. You can create a simple character with no weapons or armour to help with any required ability checks.
Keep it tense. Comedy is tolerated to a small degree, but no comedic characters or crossovers, that ruins the setting.
Have as much fun as you can. Put the word 'Gothic' in your first comment to prove you read the rules.
Some pictures of the city:
Please note that Grimmshire is in a perpetual night. All characters must be humans.
Locations
The network- where PCs and NPCs start. The only "safe" place in the whole city.
The mansion- a huge,dead place believed to have been the starting place of the "silencing" as it is called.
The hospital- Do not go to the hospital.
The Streets- the main location of the game.
The pub- an odd place that has never stopped playing haunting music from an invisible band.
The docks- haunted with more than ghosts.
The log
In the log, you will find all of the strange and horrific things you find in the city.
Carrion- Not a corpse, hardhead. An undead vulture-thing that only eats dead, rotting flesh.
Watcher Brute- A Shadowy, nine-eyed humanoid bull strong enough to rip metal apart.
Bloodshadow Cobra- the most venomous thing in the universe.
Flesh Rexxer- an undead T-rex. Though more deadly.
Mergrasper- nasty mermaid. They drag you under and drown you. Mainly live in the docks, whew.
Kraken- yes, there is a kraken in Grimmshire. Not like the 5e kraken, basically a big deadly octopus.
Buzz-kills- bloated flies that have maggots deadlier than the moms.
Hi! I'm EJO. I am a silly billy who forgets to play Genshin Impact every day totally DOESN'T simp for at least three different ninja girls. Some other facts about me:
I main Milio in League of Legends, and therefore have extreme anxiety whenever my glass cannon Vayne main teammate charges at the enemy while I'm at the spawn zone.
My average accuracy in Marvel Rivals is about 19%.
If anyone says the words "Spider man lord" in my presence I will immediately lock myself in my room.
A man slowly walks through the city streets a greatsword held at the ready. He keeps shifting his gaze, sweeping the street up and down. His back slides along the wall of the alley
Name:Grimm
Class:blood hunter
Backstory: I once was the son of grand noble. Before the silence I was a snob, destined to rule over the people as my father was doing. Then the silence came. I was a lucky survivor but the people who were once under me were now the only way for me to be alive. So after a while I began to feel like I shouldn't have lived. I decided to drink a poison, this Poison did not kill me but gave me powers to finally be something to these people. A hunter, a fighter, a defender.
(Edit: just noticed we were supposed to start in the sewers, hope it's still okay).

*No normal weapons, but I think something like a cobbled-together sword or improvised weapon would be good. But being outside is OK. Nice backstory as well. I only made this because I did a random spin of names with the person spun having to make an RP thread lol*
They see a young girl, around 15 by the looks of her. She's backed up against a wall, and there is a large black vulture-thing in front of her.
New discovery- the Carrion.

The carrion screeches, hitting the ground. It begins to decay immediately, the smell reminding you of the poison you took.
The girl still has her eyes firmly closed. "Is... is it... g-g-gone yet?" She asks.

"Keeps your eyes closed take my hand" I grab her hand if she holds it out and I lead her back to the network. When we get there I have her open her eyes and I lead her around asking if anyone knows who she is.

Nobody really knows, nobody really cares. That is the Grimmshire way. A few people said she went outside and didn't come back until today, some just said they didn't give a crutt (Grimmshire alternative to the S-word).

A man with black hair makes his way out of the sewers, just for a beam of ghastly energy to fly over his head. after hearing some voices he starts to follow the kids. Not because he wants to be creepy but because hes curious. On his back is a janky looking 20# pound bow that he threw together with scraps and pieces and his seven arrows.
