You wake up. You're in a dark room with a number of other people, you can't tell how many exactly. There isn't much here except for a bunch of small chests, each with a name on. One is yours. You crawl to the chest and open it. Inside is a selection of small items- a lead pipe, a first aid bag, a flashlight, some sort of toolkit. And a note, which you presently unfold and read; "Take one of these items and put on the clothes in the bottom of this chest. don't question your situation, and go through the door when it opens, and you will be safe." Underneath, in a small, barely legible script, are the words 'death is not an escape." The large metal door on the other end of the room creaks open as you get dressed and select your item. Once everybody is ready, the door slams open, and you all walk out into the knight air. A little voice whispers in your mind, telling you all is not well here. As you look out of the small town in front of you, the doors slam behind you.
As your little group makes its way towards the town, the words on the note keep entering your mind.
Death is not an escape.
Death Is Not An Escape is a Survival Horror Arena Roleplay (SHAR) thread where a group of players and NPCs attempt to survive a prowling killer in a twisted game known as a trial. Run by cultists worshiping a mysterious Entity, the trials can be escaped by powering generators to open the gates at either end of the map.
SIMPLE RULES:
The game uses a simple dice system. D6s are used for most tests, but on rare occasions d4s, d8s and d10s are used.
You play a survivor, a normal person who has been caught by cultists and thrown into a trial. If you want to play a killer, PM me and I’ll tell you the rules. You cannot have more than one character in each trial.
At the beginning of each trial, survivors select perks and add-ons to buff their abilities and gain new ones. The ones available for level 1 characters are listed below, I’ll give you a PM when you are able to select from a new list.
Make a google doc or something to note down your HP, speed and luck. Hp is 12, speed is 3.1 m/s and luck sits at 3 until further modification. Luck will be explained later.
Environment updates will be provided in most posts so survivors can react to obstacles and exploit things such as pallets and windows.
THE TURN SYSTEM + CHASES:
Outside of RP, each survivor and the killer take a turn. They can move up to 18 meters and vault over any downed pallets and widows that are in their way, and perform up to three actions. These include unhooking survivors, starting generator repair, and self-healing. (If Ya’ll don’t like this system I can scrap it)
If a killer finds a survivor, a chase usually commences. The survivor and killer can move up to their speed times 3, killers can attack survivors (when they get close enough) and survivors can drop pallets on their pursuer. If a survivor takes enough damage to reduce them to half-health, they fall to the ground, and the killer can pick them up and carry them to a hook to sacrifice them.
IMPORTANT GAME SHTUFF:
Unless otherwise specified, there will be 8 survivors and 2 killers in a trial. If this is really popular, it’ll be 12 survs and 3 killers.
There are pallets scattered around each map. Survivors running past them can use up a point of their luck to drop a pallet on a pursuing Killer, stunning them temporarily.
Luck is used to perform certain actions and improve the chances of some checks being a success.
There are 5-7 generators scattered around each trial arena. Survivors must repair these generators to power the exit gates, of which there are usually two. Powering a generator requires making a test using a d8. At certain times during the repair process, a survivor must roll a d8 and add their remaining luck to it. If they roll 6 or more, the generator continues being repaired. If they roll less than 6, they fail the repair, and their progress is halved. Failing a generator repair also gives a Killer an idea of where you are.
There is a hatch somewhere on the map. It can be used to escape instead of the exit gates, but only one survivor may do this, and only if they are the last remaining survivor in the trial. Killers can close this hatch if they find it.
The killer's objective is to kill or sacrifice survivors. They do this by knocking you down and bringing you to a sacrificial hook. You can struggle out of a Killer’s grip by rolling a 3-4 on a d4 four times in a row. If you are hooked, you can get yourself off the hook by rolling 5 d6s, one after the other, adding your luck to each roll. If you roll 5 or 6, you succeed. You must succeed 4 times to get off the hook. Other survivors may get you off the hook with no checks, but they will have to get to you. If you fail to get yourself off the hook, the entity appears, and begins the sacrificing process, which you can struggle against in the same way as you try to unhook yourself. If you fail this, you are sacrificed to the entity, and your character dies.
SURVIVOR LEVEL 1 PERK LIST:
Athlete (mark 1): increases speed by 0.3 m/s and HP by 1.
Spine-chilling feeling (mark 1): Your heart rate increases slightly when a killer is nearby, even if you can’t see them. I will ask you to make a D8 check when a killer enters a 15-meter radius of you. If you roll more than 6, you sense their presence. Add one to your luck.
I’ve seen worse (mark 1): You recover from encounters with a killer or scary environmental aspects 1 second quicker. Most level one survivors take 3 seconds for reference.
These 3 are the level 1 perks I’ve made. You can make up your own as long as they fit the character. and don't buff you TOO much. YOU CANNOT GET RID OF YOUR FEAR.
SURVIVOR LEVEL 1 ADD-ON LIST:
Flashlight with 30% battery: You can shine this in the killer’s eyes to blind them, causing them to drop any survivor they are carrying and discontinue any action they are undertaking. Battery drops by 3% for each second of use.
Basic first aid kit: Allows you to perform healing actions on wounded survivors. Roll a d4. If you roll a 1, you mess up the heal, and it does nothing. Otherwise, it takes 15 seconds of in-game time to heal an injured survivor.
Simple toolkit: Speeds up generator repair time by 2 seconds.
Piece of piping/ sharp object: Allows you to stun or damage the killer temporarily
PLAYERS:

Nearly forgot. d10's are what most killers use as damage dice.

Well. On weekdays, I'm generally available from 4-5, and most of the day on saturdays and occasionally sundays. I'd be aiming for the game to maybe last a day or two, probably longer seeing as we've got to account for player activity.
Any of Ya'll want to be the killer? I've got enough players for me to just be a rules arbiter now.

I'm not sure how quick this is gonna go. The Entity will be taking individual turns, then you have to wait for each player turn so...
Still seems like something I would enjoy though.
Outside of turns, you can RP as well, as long as that person is close to you.
