plasmatio for continued game updates!
This game will be initially operating on invite-only terms. In other words, you must have received an explicit invitation to this game in the form of a link to this interest check from either one of the mods (Brittbloodthirstiest or Danielle entrappings). If any slots are still available after our initial selection, we will allow players to recommend specific friends of their own for consideration. If any slots still remain after this point in time, invitations will be extended to anyone on the general friends lists of either of us two mods!
For now, please fill out the following form and submit it as a reply to this post. Feel free to comment around to get an initial dialogue started!
Upon sleeping, your character finds themselves pulled into a dream. At least, it must be a dream, mustn't it? After all, they're asleep. In this dream, they stand in a temple, and before them twelve masked and cloaked figures wait, still as statues. A token rests at each of their feet, and they seem to know what it is they want: they want them to choose. It isn't until the choice has been made and they wake up in another place entirely that they realize it wasn't really a dream at all.
In this game, characters have been summoned by a pantheon of gods from a faraway world to request their help in determining the victor of their contest: which of them shall be the king or queen of their order. Each and every character is promised a boon in exchange for their participation, and it is up to them which god they choose to support...and to that end, which offered reward they consider most coveted. From there they must only decide how far they'll go to help ensure the most lucrative victory.
With that introduction to whet your appetites, here are some highlights to keep in mind:
➹ Characters are being brought into the game on an icly willing basis. This means that you can play them as having accepted their invitation to participate in a contest of the gods unwittingly if you would like, but that they ultimately were not taken by force or without cause. All characters who were selected should want something, for any reason ranging from selfish to selfless, badly enough to be willing to risk it all for the promise of achieving it.
➹ Tentatively there is not any current age limit being enforced for applications. This, of course, will be re-addressed on a case-by-case basis to make sure that, considering the nature of the game, player comfort isn't sacrificed in the spirit of creative freedom. Likewise, characters of any origin, shape, or form may be applied to this game, so long as there's a way that they can be killed. If you're unsure of what you may have in mind, feel free to ask!
➹ Powers will be nerfed upon a character's arrival into the contest's setting, but they'll be allowed to pick a substitute of their choosing among those offered by their host gods.
➹ Character cast caps are set at a whopping seven per canon.
➹ Because the rules of the contest dictate that each god compete equally against one another for as fair a victory as possible, there are no special roles being given out to any character. There is no explicit mafia, rotating or otherwise, and murder will in no way be set in compulsory terms upon any character at any time. Instead, it is in every character's own hands to decide upon their own faction, their own actions, and what is in their own best interest to receive the maximum desired rewards for participation.
➹ Due to the murder being completely voluntary on an ic basis, you can expect that investigations and trials may behave a little differently than average while still following a comfortably standardized format for the murdergame genre. And, of course, being a murdergame, incentives and even explicit bribes may be offered to the characters at various opportunities to motivate them into spilling blood. Ooc, we may be calling for volunteers to keep the game rolling in the case of any slow weeks.
➹ Finally, characters will be assured at the start of the game that any and all deaths will be reversed once a victor has been decided. In other words, all the gods want your characters to worry about is helping them settle their argument once and for all. This is effectively a popularity contest in which the characters ultimately decide, through honest or dishonest means, which god to give the win. Regardless of which ending the game reaches, all characters are assured they will be returned safely home with a gift of participation... but only those supporting the winning god will get the gift they truly seek.

Name: who be you?
Invited?: who invited you?
Timezone: where be you?
Preferred contact: we plan on running a game discord as well as posting plurk updates, so both handles are helpful if you have them, as well as any other methods you prefer!
Character Considerations: who be them?
Likelihood: how likely are you able to commit to reserving?
Concerns: Think you might need help imagining your chosen character in the setting? Let us know!
Other: lbr this is the meme spot
no subject
Name: Ori
Invited?: linked by Ty!
Timezone: CST
Preferred contact: pp/pings to
Character Considerations: Uhh. My strongest voices as of right now are:
- Shuuya Kano from Kagepro (he would lie his way through the entire game and get murdered week 1 for being annoying, probably)
- Minato Arisato from Persona 3 (only if Ara brings Four, bc I'll be sad the entire time if I had to play Minato; I could also play Ryoji but he'll be :((((( the entire time)
- Hitoka Yachi from Haikyuu!! (I would die before she dies, and it'll probably be of a heart attack. I DON'T KNOW I DON'T HAVE GREAT MURDERGAME MUSES i just want to play with y'all)
- Yukine from Noragami (?? ???? I don't know what to say about Yukine, he'd punch the daylights out of anybody trying to murder other people for this stupid sort of contest, don't do that)
-
Mafuyu Kurosaki from Oresama Teacher never gets to be in a murdergame ever againLikelihood: Fingers crossed for me bc it's either 0 or 100%. Everything is contingent on 1) if I get offered any residency interviews, and 2) when those interviews are scheduled (I have 2/9-2/24 blocked out) since I'll have to fly to those hospitals and also prep presentations; I'll know for sure by the time reserves open in February, definitely!
Concerns: my muselist is honestly just this tiny, please rec me new canons to get into, I marathonned the entirety of The Last of Us in less than two days, I have plenty of time before February to pick up somebody new
Other: I'm exhausted and the game hasn't even started yet
no subject
And I'm always happy to rec new canons what kind of canons do you like!!!
no subject
but yeah! I like canons that make me cry! I also love found family themes :3c
no subject
no subject
slams hands down!! yukine!!
no subject
he might also the be only person in my muselist who won't completely lose his mind at the concept of a murdergame
no subject
no subject
i'm crying. we can enact our pact here or at a later date. if you find out you have the time for this game, just let me know if you think this setting would be what you want for them or not!
yukine would be great in a murdergame tho
no subject
I'm conflicted bc Minato wouldn't have any grand wishes to join the game in the first place, other than something like "I'd like to enjoy life for a little bit longer" but there's no rest nor enjoyment in murdergames :'')
I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I MAKE UP MY MIND......
no subject
hey, don't make me sad about minato when we haven't even committed yet, but it's also okay if minato isn't a good fit!
i'll terrorize you no matter what
no subject
I just hopped in the shower bc that's the best place to think but yeah, Minato— by endgame, good or bad end— is a genuinely good person who would be :( in murdergames. Kano would have by far the strongest incentive to play and would be super involved in it, and Yukine would probably be the most capable of seeing the entire game through without breaking, so those two are probably my top considerations P:
HONESTLY YEAH I'M JUST HERE TO TERRORIZE AND BE TERRORIZED
no subject
i don't know kagepro, so if you bring kano, i'd be like ??? the entire time you did something wild which i'm sure you will because you're you.
whereas if you bring yukine i'd want protect him at all costs even if my character wouldn't, but i'll look forward to trying to terrorize you somehow if your schedule pans out
no subject
but Yukine is an actual good boy, I really really want to play him somewhere someday and it might as well be a murdergame
no subject
if i were mean, i'd pick up hiyori to terrorize you
no subject

and WATCH IT AND FIND OUT
and i am like 90% positive that mytho isn't your type and only 50% sure about ahiru, which are the two characters i'd Die if they were in a mg with rue
no subject
no subject
mytho is kind of like minato in some ways but i don't want to shoot myself in the foot
SDFJSLDFJSF
you could watch kill la kill too and murder me with any number of characters in that but klk is uhhhhh not something i usually like to rec for people to watch even if it has a lot of my favorite tropes
no subject
no subject
it has a lot of unnecessary fanservice, which is one of the reasons i don't usually rec it, but it has a good found family in it and 90% of the girls are fantastic and i would die for them
no subject
also for canons to make you cry + family oriented i'm obligated to try to drag everyone into tales of xillia 2.
other than that i have no idea what you want but i too would love to rec new canons!!!
wait i'm supposed to support a character option aren't i, YUKINE IS GOOD and so is shuuya
no subject
would I have to play all the other 2340986 Tales games, or Tales of Xillia 1 to understand the second game? bc I'm prepared to do just that
it looks like I'm going to be canon reviewing Noragami this month!!
no subject
also no for tales of xillia 1 to 2 tbh! imo it actually gives you a little more verisimilitude to play 2 without 1 anyway since they focus on different casts, like the 1 cast shows up early but they're not the focus so like if you play 1 then go into 2 expecting it to be a story about them pls no. but they do do a lot of 'haha remember the good ol times in 1' while the party in 2 smiles awkwardly and nods along. what i'm saying is that play 2 standalone so you, too, can further empathize with 2's poor protagonist who never asked for any of this nonsense ever. if you actually do play it instead of just watching an lp all the world specific terminology pops up in an ingame dictionary anyway so if you ever are lost there's that! but i think 2 does a good job of being a standalone pick up without 1 bc it's a pretty self contained story.
