Ayy nerds
Since BMR is in its final stages (Only 5 Wymans and Jimmy to go) I was having some ideas on the setting of the next RP and discussed it with Dere a bit. Basically since we covered Part 5, Part 4 and Part 3-7, I was planning on making an RP heavily based on the genres mixed in Part 8 aka Themes around the supernatural, mystery and horror. I read a few books because of this since I wanted to make something resemble Part 8, but also be "our own thing". Dere then suggested me to write my ideas here, so I just went ahead and did that.
Eventually I settled with a combination of the Noir genre and Lovecraftian horror, basing myself on various pulp stories and neo-noir movies in order to give the setting a general feel.
The setting is around the present day, since it doesn't restrict us in any way. If you want to make this belong to the BMR continuity (After PC) be my guest. Anyways it takes place in a city called Myndqaui City, an ancient city that has presumably existed for about 1000 years, constantly destroyed in wars, but also constantly rebuilt as well. The last time it was destroyed was around the 1850s, so the city has been standing for about 150 years in our setting. One particular thing that could be noticed about Myndquai City however is the fact that it becomes stronger and more important as its rebuilt, as if what didn't kill it simply made it stronger. The general populace of the city consider this a blessing from the "Mothman", a mythical figure that is supposed to be a moth humanoid and a symbol of death for those whom dare to attack Myndquai City. The Mothman is however considered just a legend by many, although some people claim to have seen it fly around the city, watching.
The Mothman however is not the only legend in Myndquai City. In fact, this place has tons of urban legends and a history of mysterious events, some which were already forgotten. The most unnerving place in Myndquai City is however its peculiar island: Jamirynd Island. Said island is rich with vegetation and inhabits no-one, except for the staff and people living inside the Myndquai Asylum, an asylum made for deranged patients with peculiar characteristics. In our setting several patients break out and go to Myndquai City. There chaos ensues once random murders start happening, by seemingly supernatural means (Stands). The city's police force and mayor however try to maintain order. Unknown to them however is the fact that the crime lords of Myndquai city have decided to take advantage of this peculiar situation and do their "business" while blaming it on the random spree of murders. Meanwhile, people also start reporting more sightings of the Mothman, still flying around the city.
Who or what is the Mothman? What secrets does Myndquai City hide? Why does Jamirynd Island only contain a dreaded asylum?
That's the basic theme of the setting I'm aiming for: Mystery, Horror and the Supernatural.
Tell me what you guys think.
