Rene Magritte, Not to be Reproduced, 1937

[ripleyfeyd]

“There’s a painting by René Magritte entitled Not to Be Reproduced in which a man with his back turned is looking into a mirror at the back of another version of himself inside the mirror, who is likewise looking into the depths of the reflection. This story is similar in some ways. And perhaps the reader will spot the central theme of this work in the back of me, the artist, obsessing over Kido-san absorbed in his own obsession.” - A Man by Hirano, Keiichiro (page 5, Prologue)

Hello, I’m Ripley, 25+, she/her

How did you find us? I found myself in the right conversation and next thing I knew I had already picked a muse.

The House of Eden or the Ascendancy? Ascendancy due to my character choice.

Live fast and die young or carefully bide your time? Carefully bide my time, so Jacques is going to be an interesting challenge as he’d probably say live fast and already dead anyway.

Would you survive a zombie apocalypse? … only while supplies last.

If given the chance, would you want to live forever? I think I could do it, but I’m not sure I’d want to keep losing loved ones. So, no.

Where would you go to start a new life? Italy for the food.

What are you most looking forward to at Scarlet Gardens? Having some fun writing with good people and interesting characters. 

Muse(s) you’re most excited to see? I had my eye on Agostina, Nikolaas, Cecile, Julian, Sasha, and Dimitri before I settled on Jacques, so I’m very much looking forward to seeing more about all of these muses in particular.

COME —— AND ENTER THE RED .

Your patience has rewarded you. The House of Eden cordially invites you to visit the city of Amsterdam, a prized sanctuary and beloved home to the Living and Undead. Stay as long as you’d like. Leave if you dare.

A NOTE FROM ADMIN VI: Introducing Scarlet Gardens, everyone! I can’t believe it’s been a year since the idea of angsty sci-fi Dutch gravediggers first rolled into my head. While this is an original—and, frankly, weird as hell—roleplay, I’ve taken a great deal of aesthetic inspiration from Frankenstein, NBC’s Hannibal, BBC’s In the Flesh, and a variety of undead folklore from all around the world.

Currently, almost all pages are complete and available for perusing via the NAVIGATION. There is, admittedly, a lot of information to sift through—but fret not! Almost everything will be covered organically through the twenty bios I plan to release in the coming weeks, so that the scarlet-verse is easy to follow and a pleasure to experience. Pages like the ENCYCLOPEDIA are meant to serve as supplementary resources, not mandatory readings! That being said, I do believe taking advantage of the information on these pages will enrich your bio-reading process. Of course, I am also always happy to answer your QUESTIONS.

I want to give a heartfelt thank you to Emma and Ripley, who have done more for SG than they ever needed to. All thanks to their insight, patience, and good humor, I’ve had a wonderful experience building this new rp thus far. Anyway, the first bio will be released tomorrow. Until then, happy exploring!

I SHALL EAT YOUR HEART ——

WE WERE SO FOOLISH. Unafraid of what we couldn’t foresee. When we strained our necks over the precipice of Tartarus, there had been no one to tell us: Careful. The thing you wrest from Hell is not alive when you wake it. The smoke of their gaze, the rot of their sharpened smiles, the way they bear their vices like knives to the gut: tell me, can you imagine something so terrible, so beautiful? The world has ended. The Undead walk again, raised from the grave by a desperate humanity. The world will end again.

( Something dark had come over us, yes, but we had relished in the sightlessness of that long, dark night. We had warped into something even darker come morning. )

FOR NOW I AM BECOME DEATH.

SCARLET GARDENS is an original horror and post-apocalyptic LSRPG, set in Amsterdam ten years following a failed American experiment that has decimated world powers and given rise to the Undead. Inspired by Frankenstein and traditional zombie folklore, Scarlet Gardens follows the treacherous rise of a city starkly divided between the Living elite and the rehabilitated Undead, where old rivalries and new power upheavals threaten to disrupt a fragile sanctuary.

GREGORY MANCHESS Ripley - Alien Oil

[ripleyfeyd]

“For the others, we can say that Muad’Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It is shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad’Dib knew that every experience carries its lesson.”

- Frank Herbert, Dune  (Quote found on page 106)

[trve-grimdark]

“For what do you hunger, Lord?” Moneo ventured. “For a humankind which can make truly long-term decisions. Do you know the key to that ability, Moneo?” “You have said it many times, Lord. It is the ability to change your mind.”

― Frank Herbert, God Emperor of Dune
