Hey, guys. As I fail at making Pokémon RPs, perhaps an Other Roleplay will work out better? The RP is based on and a tribute the works of H.P Lovecraft and August Derleth. No knowledge of these works is required, howewer. The PG-rating stems from violence/gore, alcohol, some horror, and strong language. Mark that this RP is nopt focused on combat or traveling at all. It is a test of your skills to socially interact with other players characters and your abillity to play out a personality.
Ahem... allow me to tell you the story... of....

The setting, as well as the plot
What on earth could malke seven people hating each other spend two weeks together in a recluse location? Counting out money, of course. We find ourselves in the glorious continent of North America, in the year of 1920. February marks that the freezing and snow-laden winter intends to stay for a long time, and life isn't easy for the guys at the bottom. However, our story focuses on a far more wealthy man. Sir Waldemar von Perchafen is a posh, arrogant snob. A boy spoiled by his mother, he inheritend an immense fortune from his father, the business king Aaron von Perchafen. The sole child of the late busineesman holds no interest in economy- he has well-paid men to take care of that for him. Waldemar happily drifts through the years, squandering the lrge savngs and the impressive income away as it is served to him, and he has acclaimed himself to a life of luxuries and pretty women. As one can understand, he is not married and lives all alone.
However, the disgusting prick does have an inner circle of friends (as in «friends»). Seven succesful people he got to know in his youth, all succesful, but never matching and such fawning over Waldemar's wealth and social staus. By spending much time with him, they hope to earn his favour- and a sizeable part of his eventual estate of course. Of course, they hate both von Perchafen and each other. Their constant backstabbing and plottings against each other has always been a lethal game. Waldemar may be unaware of this fact, but most likely he is simply highly amused by it. He enjoys being the constant center of attention and has on several occasions played his faithful companions out aginst each other.
And now he is presented witha golden opportunity to do this. His late uncle, the rich but recluse Charles von Perchafen, has just left him a large and fashionable hunting lodge in Manitoba, Canada. We can see the way things are going, right? A two-week hunting party was instantly planned, and of course his inner circle are all joining him for this event. He snickers of the chance to play mind games with them. They snicker at the chance to get rid of some troublesome obstacles keeping them from gaining the entire estate of the fifty-year old snob.
So, how about the rumors of hauntings at the lodge? Nonsense. The local legends telling dreadful stories about the wilderness surrounding the lodge? Pish-push. The fact that Charles von Perchafen was found frozen to death miles from the cabin? Nothing to worry about. We, of course, will get to know things better....
So, who are you? A succesful man or woman, that's it. You are rich, powerful, well-connected or a combination of the three. Although you cannot hope to match Waldemar, you have a lot of respect among common people. And now this hunting party comes up. What a chance to make life easier for you in the future. Whatever that means to you....

Deadly Sin:
Spoiler:
Each character will suffer from a deadly sin affecting his/her personality. The exact nature of this will be decided by me after you are accepted, but for now, pick one of these. You cannot pick a sin already taken by another player.
Wrath: Your character is an angry person easy to provoke. An especially malicious hatred for one of the other characters is hidden deep within you.
Envy: In addition to the envy you have for Waldemar, another character has something you desperately want but cannot get. Such things spark conflicts.
Lust: A buning and dirty desire for another charater is something that have plagued you for long. Oh, as you long for his/her warmth...
Greed: You must take whatever you can. Everything is rightfully yours, and you actively seek new ways to gain wealth and power.
Gluttony: Man, are you fond of eating and drinking? Face it, you are a fat person having difficulties with staying away from food or drinks whenever it is offered.
Sloth: You have never liked working. Never liked doing much, anyway. Those around you see you as a burden, as you never help them out with anything.
Pride: No one is better than you. Any suggestions of superiority to you is a mortal insult. Always on top of the heap, others are mere tools or toys to you.
