What We Need:
We are seeking a prolific poster to join the neighborhood of 11 year old kids in the game World of Darkness: Innocents. The right player would be able to post at least once a day, and join the rest of the cast, as they wind down the week of summer before starting the school year. The game has over 6,000 posts and counting with a limited cast which provides more attention, character development and difficult choices for the PCs.
About the Game:
World of Darkness: Innocents is a character driven story. It’s tough being a kid, balancing the expectations of parents and sparing enough time for video games, exploration and endless summer fun. The world can be a scary place. If dodging neighborhood bullies wasn’t hard enough, there are like, all of these weird ‘happenings’ that have occurred this summer and keep occurring.
All PCs are 11 years old and live the Willow Creek neighborhood in Rocky Point, Long Island, New York during the year 1992.
If You Are Interested:
We only have two slots, so please PM me if you are interested with the following:
1.Provide a Character concept that is made of two parts
Concept: a short, two- or three-words that describes your character’s basic identity and/or motivation, such as: “Detective in Training,” “Daddy’s Little Princess,” or “Junior Mad Scientist”, “Fat Nerd” Choosing the character’s Asset and Fault can assist in this process; these traits are defined beginning on p. 87 in the WOD Innocents Book.
Five to Six Sentence Backstory: A description that provides some depth to what kind of kid you are, how you act, what your background is, etc. Special consideration given to “flawed” characters.
Note: don't over-do the dark and gloomy with the concepts. Also no loners, drifter type characters. I will let you know when I receive your application, and will provide you a date when you will get a response.
Things to consider
-Enclosed below is the link to the game’s wiki, which has many FAQs landmakrs, etc. The GM considers this game very “active.”
