Summer Elysium is an 18+ mutual killing game rp group set in purgatory on an island surrounded by endless ocean; with inspirations from the Soulsborne series, Fear and Hunger, Dungeons & Dragons, and more. This game is a sequel to Winter Masquerade, but the two do not take place in the same timeline or universe.

This game will feature fun dungeon-exploring mechanics, combat encounters with personal stats and skills, rooms with mysteries to uncover, murder cases to solve, a multi-day queue-based trial system, and more!

A cast of 18 adult characters, all deceased upon the start of the game with the promise of revival.

Roster art, body discoveries, and videos.

Dungeons to explore with fun challenges and puzzles.

Boss battles to fight alongside your allies.

A fully idealized map with secrets tucked in hidden places.

5 chapters, all hosted on Discord.

Multiple endings.

THE HEAT CLAIMS ALL. WHO WILL BE LEFT WHEN THE SUN SETS?

So this isan’t an application question but something I’ve been curious about:

So I’ve been listening to the music that the events have used (cause a good amount of them are bangers) and I’m curious about how songs are decided on? (Like, do certain people decide what songs they want or is it a ‘sounds like it fits, we gonna use it’ situation).

Also, I saw that all the songs are instrumental/no singing vocals are used as well as the music being video game/internet origin. I assume that’s a hard rules for the music used?

We just pick songs we like that fit the theme the game has. No vocals are used because they would detract from the video and its purpose

Is this rp going to be like a last hurrah for the team and there's going to be no more games after?

As of now, other projects are planned, but I can't share anything more than that!

Hello! I'm really interested in applying, but I don't really have a big experience in roleplaying, is it still fine to do so?

Also, is there any particular examples of how the dungeon system will work here?

Hi, it is super okay! We welcome everyone who wants to try, and we are here to help those who are inexperienced and figuring things out.

As for the dungeons, I can not say too much without spoiling, but it's similar to a text-based DND campaign. You will build your character with stats and abilities and use those to navigate different situations, where your actions will impact the story. No pressure if this is new to you as well- we will walk everyone through it when the game begins!

Hi I'm CurvingParrot56, I joined the server at first glance and saw the rules, I left almost immediately because I turn 18 on July 13th but still am 17

Is it possible to join back on the 14th of July so I can spectate?

I like reading and I enjoy watching the roleplays you guys operate

~ Curving

Once you turn 18, you can join the server and apply. Until then, you cannot

Also we won't be having spectators for the actual game, sorry

I did notice that the hopeful server was marked as 18+, so age-verification would be required to enter. For personal concerns around data security, I did not want to verify my age and thus left the server.

Would it still be possible to submit my application despite not being in the server?

Hi!

You’re welcome to submit to the Tumblr and not join the hopefuls’ server.

Also, since data privacy has been a concern, we have chosen to turn off the age-restricted server setting for the hopefuls server. We didn’t realize turning this setting on would force people in different countries to complete facial scans or submit their IDs to Discord for access.

Hi uhm your discord link is saying it's invalid for me

Hello! I just checked the link and it seems to be working for me?

If you’re on mobile, it looks like Discord pushed an update where you can only join 18+ servers through web access. I’d recommend trying that.

Feel free to send another ask if you’re still having issues.

Was Summer Elysium related to Winter Masquerade or?

My friend I mean no disrespect but it is literally plastered all over the place that this game is related to WM. It's a spinoff that uses the same world building with gods and purgatory, but does not take place in the same timeline as WM.

i have a question regarding about the hopefuls' server of summer elysium, what is the minimum age to join?

The minimum age to join is 18+, due to the darker and mature themes of the game.

[summerelysium]

Uhm how can we submit our application cause I tried to and it's not working

Oh strange. I've tried to edit it so maybe try now? If it still doesn't work, we recommend joining the hopefuls server and then DMing the document to one of the mods

[summerelysium]

im so happy that you're back after with what happened, and i hope that this roleplay will turn out interesting!

We've been overjoyed with the amount of supportive comments we've gotten, so thank you so much! I'm sure this game will be just as fun as the last ones :)

Will you eventually post the Characters, BDA’s, Executions, etcetera, to this Tumblr Page?

Anything uploaded to the Youtube channel will have a post on here as well.

[summerelysium]

For my first of many questions (one is good nough for today): Considerin that this here game takes is basically a bizzarro version of WM, I'm assumin that all the characters hair is gonna be blond or gold inside of white right?

Surprisingly, not this time! Everyone has their usual hair colours

(Truth be told the white hair gimmick in WM was because my friends would joke about me for having all white hair OCs and that I should make an all white hair OC game so I said bet)

-snow

[summerelysium]

So a few questions (as I’m starting to fill out my application and want some things clarifying):

1) For the OOC name, do we just use the name we’re comfortable with or do we have to use our real name? (Probably the stupidest question but just want to make sure - I use an online name since I hate having my real name being used online).

2) So for the executions, is there anything that is seen as ‘off limits/too much’? (Know it’s set in purgatory so some non-realist stuff can happen but don’t want to accidentally make an execution that’s impossible to do).

3) If your character speaks multiple languages but you (the player) can’t, do I just not add anything other than English in the ‘language known’ part of the character application?

Sorry if it’s too many questions. Also, can’t wait to see how this story unfolds. :3

Hello!

1. Feel free to use whatever name you are comfortable with. Most of us are using online pseudonyms anyways.

2. For executions, as long as you avoid the forbidden topics listed in our FAQ, you’re good to go! Just provide the proper content warnings at the top, so we know what to expect.

3. You can list the languages your characters speak! It’s based on in-character knowledge, not out-of-character. It’s okay if you don’t know the language yourself, since the default language will be English.

Hope this helps!
