ashcross: sub-levels

Multifandom "Backrooms" Survival Horror Discord RP

[ashcross-discord-rp]

WELCOME to ASHCROSS.

Ashcross: Sub-Levels (est. March, 2024) is a 25+, literate, panfandom survival horror homebrew campaign based on discord. It is inspired by the Backrooms, but knowledge of lore is not necessary. Older writers (30+) are especially welcome. We are looking for active players with a passion for consistent, long-term storytelling and an interest in liminal spaces.

We offer:

Simple, flexible game mechanics that are a hybrid of player choice and simple dice rolls.

Exploration of Backrooms-esque levels, each with its unique ambiance and anomalies.

Attentive, experienced GM with a small, cozy group of 8 players max.

Daily writing with plenty of opportunity for character development and group bonding.

WEEKLY live-rp sessions on Saturdays, 12pm PST/PDT for group exploration, mini-events, and major plot events.

Encouragement and emphasis on group dynamics with canon characters from various sources. (Update: We have decided to open 2 highly selective spots for OCs. See server for details.)

Platonic dynamics greatly encouraged.

Tupperbox for IC interactions.

LGBTQ+ and POC welcome.

EU timezones friendly.

Applications CLOSED.

CURRENT CAST:

Dream of the Endless, powercapped (The Sandman)

The Corinthian, powercapped (The Sandman)

Xan, powercapped (Baldur's Gate)

Dr. Laural (SCP Foundation Researcher OC)

Odessa "Dez" Stone, limited weaponry (Overwatch 2)

Vi, limited weaponry (Arcane)

William "Spike" Pratt, powercapped (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

Sevika, limited weaponry (Arcane)

MOST WANTED CHARACTER TYPES:

Female characters who have bigger/louder personalities rather than subdued, quiet ones. (This doesn't mean they have to be literally loud or excitable. They just need to have a strong presence in the group.)

A mature, leader type character.

Older (30+) characters.

"Assholes who get shit done" characters who can take what they give.

Characters with investigative personalities and/or proficient survival skills.

We are looking for characters who are overall cooperative, or can be persuaded by circumstance to be cooperative. This is so the cast can band together without significant challenge. Some friction is fine, encouraged even for character development, but group members must be able to realistically tolerate each other and work together. It's not other players' responsibility to persuade your character to join the group.

WANTED CHARACTERS:

Chani Kynes (“Dune: Part Two”, age 21+)

Hikari Kuina ("Alice in Borderland")

Marie-Joseph Sanson ("Innocent Rouge", age 21+)

Brienne of Tarth ("Game of Thrones")

Billy Butcher ("The Boys", pre-s4)

Fiddler's Green/Gilbert ("The Sandman", powercapped)

Aragorn ("LOTR", limited weaponry, without Anduril)

Jason Todd (DC, age 21+, limited weaponry)

Want to subject your favourite character to the horrors of the Backrooms? Look no further!

Ashcross: Sub-Levels (est. March 2024) is a 25+, literate, multifandom, homebrew survival horror campaign based in discord. It is inspired by The Backrooms, but knowledge of lore is not necessary. Older writers (30+) are especially welcome. We are looking for active players with a passion for consistent, long-term storytelling and an interest in exploring liminal spaces.

Premise: Most of the campaign involves exploration of levels reminiscent of the Backrooms. Characters encounter obstacles, general creepiness, the absurdity of the rooms, and occasional traumatizing incidents with entities or environmental dangers. Group dynamic is paramount. Long character arcs and in-depth character interactions are highly encouraged. Canonically powerful characters must be depowered/powercapped.

Game Mechanics: We use a simple homebrew system that is a hybrid of player choice and dice rolls. The GM guides exploration, plans mini-events, and runs sessions through narrations and video clip references. We are PbP only and roleplay heavy with very little combat. Characters begin with base stats that fluctuate during the campaign to reflect their health status. New skills can be acquired, but leveling up isn't really our thing. We use Tupperbox for IC writing.

Sessions: Scheduled sessions occur WEEKLY on Saturdays (12pm PDT/PST). They are entirely text-based, so no voice calls. Most of them involve exploration and mini-events, but every month, there is a "main session" where major plot events and Big Horrors happen. Main sessions are scheduled monthly by group polls. Outside of sessions, we do a lot of freeform writing for character interaction, with the weekends being most active.

Expectations: We're primarily looking for players who can post multiple times a day for most of the week. Our post length is typically 100-300 words, and we rarely go over the basic discord text limit per post. Session writing for major plot events is on the shorter side and rapid-fire to keep up the momentum. Basic literacy, such as a good grasp on grammar, spelling, and sentence structure, is a requirement. Additionally, an interest in writing character-driven slice of life/mundane survival would be great. Availability over weekends is also preferred, as that's when the plot moves.
