You open your eyes.
The world is grey and blurred. You get up unsteadily, looking around your unfamiliar surroundings. You appear to be standing in a construction site, unfinished buildings and broken scaffolding framing a city in the far distance.
You look down at yourself. You stare at something unfamiliar. You realise with a jolt that you can't remember anything.
Who are you? How did you get here? You don't know. Your mind is as messy and bleak as the site you stand in.
Your head spinning, you stumble off, horribly aware of the eyes boring into you from the darkness.
Welcome to the Site, a psychological horror thread inspired(roughly) by the PICO-8 game Under Construction. Lore will be revealed as people explore more.
RULES:
Avoid explicit material of all kinds- Gore, sexual stuff, excessive profanity, the like.
Don't be mean OOC, and try to avoid being mean in character too. You can have rivalries, but don't take them too far, yeah?
Listen to the mods: Me, myself and I. (others may be added if they wish!)
DO NOT FORCE COMBAT ON OTHER PLAYERS. Make sure to gain consent from the other party before starting any sort of combat. And, mind you, death is very permanent, and very painful.
Put 'Construction' into your first post so mods know you've read the rules.
CHARACTER CREATION:
You can play anything, really. The thing that ties all people on the Site together is their memory; or more accurately, lack of it. From the moment your character appears, they remember nothing of their past life, retaining only their body, sanity, and personality.
Character sheets/stat blocks are almost entirely for PVP so don't be pressed to make them. If you do, max level/CR is 5 for max level and 4 for CR.
SETTING:
The Site in an ancient and abandoned construction site. What was being built is unknown.
The surface is covered with the skeleton of a town, unfinished houses, stores and warehouses forming a brutal and unsettling landscape. Everything is monochrome, and lit by a moon that eternally hangs in the sky at a 30 degree angle to the ground, casting many areas in shadow.
While on the surface, there is always a feeling like your being watched. You never see anyone, or anything, but that feeling is always there.
Sometimes up here you come across something different; a patch of sharp metal spikes jutting from a surface, dripping with something red. This is the only colour you'll find on the surface. These spikes are only one of the many dangers of the Site.
There are many shafts and holes in the ground littered around the Site. Going down leads you into a vast system of tunnels called the Catacombs. Here you'll find shelter from the Eyes, and small villages of other people like you. The Catacombs provide their own dangers, however, and even down here, you're never truly alone.
More will be revealed as your journey continues. Good luck.
Heya everyone! I'm EJO, DDB's resident immortal Welsh medieval rat who appears randomly roughly once every week.
I'm not active much, but always up to talk when I am.
I'm known as CptKurn nearly everywhere but here.
Do not ask me about anything I like because I WILL waffle on for half an hour.
*Construction! Looks cool!*
*freaking dies*
owch
he/they. Roleplay and worldbuilding fiend.
*My obscure game knowledge comes in clutch*

*We shall construct great edifices, such that their spires touch the stars.
Looks awesome!*
When you left this town, with your windows down
And the wilderness inside
Let the exits pass, all the tar and glass
'Til the road and sky align

*Thanks!*
*I have a good feeling that you just dropped a reference that I don't understand*
