Hi there. Many have sent me characters already, but for the uninformed, Haunted Mafia is an ANONYMOUS ALIAS game. You will be creating a character to play as, and while you aren't required to play in character (i.e use an Irish brogue for your Irish character) it is suggested that you do so to add to the atmosphere.

I will list the characters from Haunted Mafia 1 that you cannot play as, and the characters you MAY choose to play as OR be assigned if you don't send me your own character.

You may also not play as Jacob, Brother Claude, or Peter Pumpkin. They will possibly be in flavors as NPC's. Anything else is a go.

We've had inanimate objects (that I explain via flavor (i.e so and so choked on a fish to death so he is brought forth in the image of a fish), celebrities, historical figures, people both living and dead, characters from other games, etc. This is where you can really go wild (or lazy) with a character idea. You can either make a backstory explaining your character's state or let me explain why you're a water bucket myself. Making your own backstory can be fun.

Character Rules

1. You must PM Me a Name, a picture that will be used as your avater, and a brief bio that described your character a bit in terms of who they are and what they've done in the past.

2. Characters may be living or dead celebrities, historical figures, etc. as well as fictional characters. They may also be animals, objects, or creations used in other games. Nearly anything goes, with the following exceptions:

Characters from Haunted Castle 1 you may choose to have resurrected if for some reason you wish to play as them and can't possibly create a character of your own but also don't want to wait for me to craft a new one for you. No one will be assigned these characters automatically, but if you are keen you may make a request and I'll consider it. I'll also consider PM's asking me NOT to let anyone use a character below

Hannah

Cheese Burglar

Elijah Wood

Sheldon

SLAMMIN' SAMMY SALMON!

Tom Ato

Dr. Sea Batter


Characters from Haunted Castle and other games you may NOT for any reasons choose to play as

Munchma Quchi

Tupac

The Mad King

Lucy B Haus

John Paul

Jacob

Peter Pumpkin

Brother Claude

Quentin Haus


Anything else is likely fair game and I've gotten my fair share of interesting characters PM'd to me so far, so don't hesitate to send me a weird choice. Questions are welcomed too, but I think I've made it pretty clear here.


3. You may NOT reveal your character to anyone outside of the game.





General Rules


1. No talking about the game outside of the game

2. Days will NOT be 24 hours at all times. Time will be warped on Spooky Hill, and there may be some days that are shorter than others, or some nights. Never enter a Day thread automatically expecting to have 24 hours to lynch someone. It is important that you read the specifics of that day at the end of the first post in the Day Thread to avoid a costly mistake.

3. No editing posts

4. No posting your role information. This would be directly quoting information given to you in your journal by the host.

5. You must register to the forum I'll be posting with your Character's name as your username/make sure to submit a Display name with your character info (i.e if your name is Sir Alistair IV but you'll be going by Alistair, tell me and you can register with Alistair).

6. If you have a passive ability and get modkilled, the ability won't be in effect. I.E if Joe was a bomb that goes off when he dies, or if he has a role that reveals information upon his death, and he gets modkilled, the effects will be nonexistant. No bomb goes off, no information is revealed. This isn't to say there will be a bomb or info revealing role, just giving examples.

I will make more amendments to the rules as needed and on the forum itself when the game gets going.


Sign ups will close on Sunday evening. If you have a problem with signs up ending then (i.e oh X wants to play but won't be here to sign up until Monday bla bla bla) let me know. I aim to have the game running by Monday evening. That is December 1st.




On another note, I am attaching a poll here to ask if people want me to create their accounts for them and send them the log in information via PM or if they would prefer to register themselves.









General Gist of the Game

You will be part of an odd assortment of characters who have found themselves gathered by Quentin Haus at the request of an unknown entity in order to put the rest the diabolical scheme of Ishanru, a God by his own claim. You have gathered at Spooky Hill, where a secret meeting is taking place among Ishanru's chosen warriors for his coming war. The aim is to stamp out the army before it becomes all powerful. Ishanru's followers are crafty, and will do their best to hide during the day among those who seek to destroy them. At night, however, they may attack the heretics.

What unfolds at Spooky Hill will effect the world at large as well as the world unseen by most mortal eyes.

I have posted some prologue flavor in the sign up thread in my OP.
