There’s this running joke about Sundown that everyone knows. People will tell you that the night life here is crazy, and then - depending on the kind of company you keep - they’ll either look like they’ve told the world’s best joke, or they’ll get pretty quiet after that. Maybe a little sad-looking. Either way, the punchline is always the same. Just a warning.
Don’t get caught up in it.
People always assume the mundane route, because that makes the most sense, doesn’t it? Drugs. Street crime. Maybe gang wars. Sometimes the human condition is just the worst-case scenario, and you have to deal with that. Around here, though, ill-intentioned humans aren’t the only thing lurking in the dark. Turns out that’s worse.
Sundown boasts an above-average population of supernatural entities, and for reasons nobody can quite narrow down, that number is still growing. Don’t get it twisted: human-on-human crime is still very much present. But the number of missing persons reports and cold case files certainly does suggest that the local population is a little hungrier than most.
If you find yourself on the side of the otherworldly, welcome: you’ll no doubt find that hunting is easy, territory is easily negotiated, and hardly anyone will bat an eye if you’re looking a little haggard around the full moon, or first thing in the morning, or… always. Consider it a perk of outnumbering the human population roughly three-to-one: you’ll find yourself understood more often than not.
If you’re - well - only human, the welcome still applies. Just be cautious. If you’re not prepared to face the city’s underbelly, then keep your head down. Get into the habit of giving other people a wide berth, especially after dark, and not looking too hard at the stains on someone’s sneakers. It may be the difference between making it home, and getting - as you’ve no doubt been warned - caught up in the night life.
Welcome to In Articulo Mortis.
In Articulo Mortis is a lit paragraph-style Overwatch roleplay server. This server is a modern AU in which Overwatch characters can be played as either humans or supernatural entities. Plotting amongst one another is encouraged, although serverwide plots may be implemented at a later date. At this time, we are not accepting original characters, but may open the roster to them once canon slots are coming close to being filled entirely - until then, we encourage people to apply as their favorite canon character!
Applications can be submitted to @iamblog-official with a writing sample. Please refer to the list of claimed canons before applying, as we do not allow doubles. Thanks for reading, and we look forward to hearing from you! <3
