Libellus OOC

Hello! This is the first Role play I have actually made a long time ago and the first I am making for The forums here. This is an rp based off of gravity falls and supernatural together where you have many different creatures and folklore in the human world.

---

Standard RP thread, forum rules as well as these rules apply:

1. Please be reasonable with what your character can do, Normal humans cannot perform magic and cannot be unnaturally strong unless you give a detailed explanation as to WHY your character is this strong. Even then you have to at least keep in mind that they are a human in the present day.

2. You can add a piece of folklore or mythological creature you wish. Just remember to give them at least a weakness, you can make it so that weakness doesn't kill them just do not give them no weaknesses at all and make it impossible to survive them on their own.

3. You can only have about 4 main characters and an unlimited amount of npcs. Just be warned that npcs can and will die in this RP due to what an npcs role will be in this rp.

4.Referring to the rule above, while you can easily kill an npc, that does not give you the right to just go full ham on killing npcs all you want if they are important npcs. There is a time and place for killing canon fodder and there is a time and place to not kill them. :)

5.If you want to be any of the seven main humans, ask the forum mods as well as myself before making an app on it. This is due to them being a driving force in the RP and in the lore. There is only one of wach flame present at one point, so it is important to ask.

---

Since There can only be one flame at a single time, I am putting them in this spot and a bit of a description of what a flame is about.

The flames is a human that may seem normal, but has an advancement of a certain personality trait that allows them to excel at what they do best. Some may overlap in some of their jobs, but most of them always carry a huge amount of a singular trait, although this doesn't mean they have to have it all the time. These flames have no real memories of their old lives, but will be drawn to their journals like moths to a flame. Each flame is VERY much kill-able, though only one flame is not considered a flame to anyone but the flame itself and that is the Praestigio Flame.

This is for lore, myths, Folklore and Urban legends that have been accepted into the RP.(I am putting In 4 things down as an example of lore and mythological)

Demons:

Spoiler

Unlike many other of the things listed here, demons have many different shapes and forms. No two demon has the same goal in mind and they don't exactly follow the original demon as he is long dead. There is no true ruler and there are only few if at all any groups of demons working together towards a single goal. The largest depicted group of demons working together dissolved quite a bit when the leader, Affina, was sealed away into the Mirius Journal itself. Most common demons are succubi, Crossroads, Nightmare and Construct demons. Most of their common powers are based off of deceit and lies, often times creating illusions and hallucinations around them. Another form of powers is often a Flame, often an eerie green to a creepy black hue to the flames. Some demons are actually capable of possession if they so be it, but cannot perform illusions or hallucinations because of it.

The proccess of creating a demon often differs on the type of demon you want to create and differs in time on how powerful you want to make the demon. For some it's as simple as torturing the poor creature to the point of breaking while you force demonic flames into them, others are, um, not as pleasant to speak of. Lets just say its either quick or a slow grueling process that will corrupt the person involved.

(If you have a demon, only how long it took before they became a fully fledged demon and explain before and after their turning, a common amount of time for a demon is 10 years but some demons will take longer to manifest due to how hard it is to convert the person.)

Constructs:

Spoiler

A construct is a Sealed away demon, often times a very dangerous demon that needs to be sealed away for safety reasons. They are always sealed into an Item and the owner of that Item can command the being to do whatever they want. They often appear as an animal but will most commonly be a cat(Cause cats are evil). The only thing that a construct can do with their powers is possess someone with the persons full permission, meaning that the person must accept the agreement that the construct creates and accept what the construct plans to do. (yes constructs are like Familliars, they practically are XD)

The Childless Mother:

Spoiler

Name: The Childless Mother

Threat Level: 4-5

Type: Ghost

Origin: Japan

Story:A Japanese Folklore of a women who lost her child from famine and the cold. She was so distraught I believe she killed herself. She came back as a spirit that helped children. Like say a kid was about to be hit by a car, she would come and save them. But then she would get attached and hover around that child, until she eventually takes their soul, thinking that it's her child and she wants to be with them.

Weakness: Her weakness is the woman would only die protecting a child from a fatal injury like a bullet or a knife heading towards them.

Arachnae:

Spoiler

Threat Level: 5-6

Origin:Greece

Type: Creature

Abilities: Strong, capable of creating webs, able to turn human for a short amount of time to lure a human into their nest.

Original Myth:Based off of the Greek mythology on Arachne with a twist. Allowing these creatures to be birthed. The Arachnae feast off of humans and will often lure them into it while they are unsuspecting about it.

Weakness: Fire and Decapitation.

Appearance:Half spider half human, skin can either be blue, purple, black or Caucasian as long as the bottom half shows to be a spider

Spoiler

Example picture of an Arachnae:

Gorgon:

Spoiler

Threat Level: 5-7

Origin:Greece

Type: Creature

Abilities: The most common trait of a gorgon is their ability to turn people to stone with just a single look at them even if they are dead, their hair is also covered in venomous snakes, meaning one bite from them could affect a human easily. Another thing about them is that pure blooded gorgons are immortal, meaning that it is really hard If not impossible to kill a pure blood gorgon.

Original Myth:Based off of the Greek mythology on Medusa, though with this one medusa is only really a half breed where as the other gorgons depicted are pure blood. Medusa herself is actuall

Weakness: Mirrors are one of the greatest weaknesses on a gorgon, as it's reflection does not give the same affect as looking directly at them, you can also very easily avoid looking at a gorgon and not suffer a fate of being stone. A half breed, however, Is very much killable but be warned that you have to still not look at them even when they are dead for they will still turn you to stone.

Although a pureblood is powerful, they appear less often due to the rarity of them, often resorting to caves and other places as to avoid people to gaze upon them.

Appearance: Hair like snakes, half breeds often have more human characteristics such as the bottom half isn't a snakes bottom.

Spoiler

Example picture of a pure blood gorgon:

Example of a half breed:

Other: A note for gorgons, since this does take place in north America, gorgons are extremely rare and hard to pinpoint in this area and are MUCH more common in Greece. and there will most likely be 1-2 pureblood gorgon in the rp locations while the rest would most likely be half breeds.

Mocha/Affina

Spoiler

Name: Affina Finallis

Age: 9,762 years old

Appearance: Affina holds long black hair with an eerie green eye colour to her eyes which are in the shape of a slits, making it seem like her eyes are that of a cats. As her Construct she is a tuxedo cat with goldish green eyes that glow when she is around her owner in a eerie greenish hue. Her skin colour is a pale, unearthly white that makes her almost seem like a ghost, though it adds to her demonic nature.

Spoiler

Construct:

Demon:

Type: Construct/Lilith demon (Female Demon)

Personality: Holder of the praestigio flame. sassy, manipulative, when speaking about humans often gets angry. As a cat she can be very possessive of the owner of her book, often going through great lengths to protect the human or creature the book belongs to in the hope that they will one day unseal her so that she can continue her assault on humanity. Can be a great leader to those around her, caring for the demons under her command and making sure that they do as much as they can do for the type that they are.

When around Sabrina, she tries to be the "best" of help to her, even if it means telling her the truth about certain things, begrudgingly, as there is a chance she would spill it on accident. She is alot more informative with sabrina, acting like a friendly person willing to help at any givin point so that one day maybe, just maybe Sabrina would help her be free so that she could once again wage war on humanity for what they had done to her.

When she possesses Sabrina, she doesn't outwardly show that she possesses Sabrina, often acting like nothing happened and keeping her abilities to a minimum. She only, however, does this when Sabrina isn't in danger whatsoever. When Sabrina is in any kind of danger, she will do whatever it is necessary to ensure that her toy is safe from harm, even if it means badly harming or killing a human to do it.

Biography: Affina was born able to deceive people easily as early as 2 years old. being the youngest, she was able to convince her parents that most of her actions was her older brother's doing, having them fall for it like a charm. Doing this caused her brother to despise her and attempt to get her into trouble many times, this behavior managed to get the boy into helping out their village defend against multiple creatures while the "angel" of a girl would stay comfortably in the house, safe from most monsters. When She was about 15 years old, Affina was asked by the other flames to help establish a safe environment for humans from the creature and dangers that appeared in the world and the most dangerous, the demons. She accepted without hesitation and asked what she must do. That was when one of the humans, a girl, walked up and asked if she can convince the world to forget about these creatures and help make them less scared of the darkness that surrounds them so that they can advance quicker and without hesitation. She was a little reluctant, but decided to do so.

It started off as she expected, no one believing her, however, after her determination and peace starting to settle within the land, they actually started to believe her, which made the girl smile a bit. That was when the demons attacked her. The demons were at first confused as to why their comrades power was within a simple human girl, but they remembered the old man that managed to capture one of them and took the poor girl with them. It took them thousands of years to break her, but when they did and she came back, she was shocked as to what she had saw around her.

The world had completely changed, advanced, grown, all without her. When she asked about the demons, the humans around her looked confused and thought the girl had grown ill. She then asked about the flames and that's where she got a spark from other. They spoke about how the six flames had helped reunite the world, then she asked about the seventh. Every single person that she asked around her gave her a weird look, as if the people around her didn't know anything about the seventh flame. This pissed her off even further and she asked where to meet the flames. They pointed her to the correct direction and met the new flames of hope, she accused them of hiding her flame from the world and they all simply looked at her as if she was the enemy. On that day, she killed her first 3 flames of many and declared war on humanity. This war lasted years, and she had started to gain a fairly large amount of followers, bigger than any demon has seen in history.

As time went on, the flames were back together and finally came to confront her, but she was prepared, in one fell swoop she took out 2 of the flames already, the others still put up a fight and she got rid of most of them, leaving the mirus and the civilis flames remaining, which made her confused, that was when she realized her exact mistake. She started to feel weaker and weaker, unable to do a thing about it. The mirus explained that only a mirus flame could ever unseal her, and that they would have to do it willingly and would have to know exactly who she is to be able to unseal her. This made her extremely pissed as she changed into her cat form.

She spent years, trying to convince the next of kin of releasing her, but to no avail. They only need to ask why and she would spill everything and follow their command about being truthful. She couldn't even trick one to be able to possess to do it because it wasn't even willingly. As time went on she saw her subjects try and fail to get her out with multiple tactics before eventually giving up and disbanding, having no leader to lead them, she was desperate by the time that she stumbled across Sabrina. The little girl seemed so naive to the world around her, so she acted cute to be able to be taken home. When she finally got the little girl alone, she explained to her what she was, being the good "loyal" construct she was, and explained that she could help her out in any way that she could. The girl smiled and went out, telling her mom about the cat that spoke to her.

She continued this facade for a while, before she started to seem sick and tired of her mom around her, that was when she convinced her that the confines of her home was not really the best way to help the world around her, and that she could teach her the ins and outs of how to survive, all she needed to do was get out of the place. When she suggested telling her mother, the cat said that it would not be a good idea, as the mother would only imprison her here and maybe even get her committed into an insane asylum to keep her from doing what her destiny entails. She surprisingly listened to the cat and snuck out that night.

Now they wander around from town to town, helping other be relieved of their paranormal activity and learn more about the folklore and other things around them. But she still has a plan to escape and rule again...

Abilities: Possession and basic Fire powers in the colour of an eerie greenish colour if unsealed. However, sealed she can only do what a construct can normally do meaning that mocha herself cannot use her powers without her owner's permission.

Sabrina Duguard:

Spoiler

Name:Sabrina Duguard

Age: 12

Appearance: Has yet to hit puberty, blonde hair and green eyes. Often wears something that is comfortable to trek in. She also looks a tad bit older than what she is, seeming more 14-15 and standing about 5''1' at this moment.

Spoiler

Personality: Bearer of the Mirus flame. caring about those in need, quite naive on the supernatural world still and the past of her journal. Doesn't mean she will trust a human right off the bat, She knows what stranger danger is. Will often act really creepy to those who attempt to approach her, saying things that creep people out or weird them into thinking that she is crazy. This may not get her out of some situations with people but it gets her out of most situations. She trusts her cat, mocha with her life far more than she would like to admit, as many people wouldn't trust a demon at all, but her cat has always come through with her in the end and hasn't once not saved her. She is also VERY curious about the supernatural and those around her especially ghosts! She always talks to them and tries to wonder why they are here and not some other place.

Biography:When she was born, her mom knew she had a handful of a child, because of her overwhelming curiosity. She would touch things, figure things out the hard way and cause the mom a fit whenever she lost sight of her daughter. When she was 5 years old was the first time she disappeared for a bit, lasting almost the time it took to call the cops before coming back with a creepy book and a kitten following her, begging to keep them. After multiple times begging (and countless times in the time out corner) her mom finally allowed both the book, and the cat into the house begrudgingly. This was when the cat started to talk to her, saying she was the only human that found the book, exclaiming that she must be the new mirus flame. The girl was confused but she trusted the cat and would tell her mom about what mocha would say to her, only to get ignored. This would happen for years,of which time paranormal things and supernatural things would start to appear, and her mom started to believe that her daughter was schizophrenic and started to take her daughter to a counselor and attempts to get her some "help" for this problem, even though she showed no other signs that she even was schizo at all, which made the doctors tell the mother that it is only an overactive imagination and that she shouldn't have to worry about it at all.

By the Time that she was twelve, her mother started to ignore her, only talking to her when she spoke about school, work and other "normal" stuff and she was sick of it, so later on in the day, she slipped out of her room with what her cat said was the bare minimal stuff, the cat also showed where a bit of cash was so that she could start off before she would run off. She didn't know what to do so she wandered out of the place and took a bus to another town, where the bus driver thought she was old enough to do this stuff, and since she payed he didn't question it at all, he got her to another place before the cat would teach her how to live on her own without any I.D or money, often having the cat steal money for her or would beg on the streets for money so that she could get more supplies and stuff. She also began helping those dealing with supernatural and paranormal activity by giving them advice and stuff that she would read up on the journal, helping those that are safe.

Now she is wandering doing the same stuff she has always done, and building upon her journal, one page at a time.

Skills: She is quite skilled at running and fleeing the police, since she has been on the run for months from her own mother and the confines of being an abnormal girl in a normal setting. She is also able to see ghosts since forever.

Whenever she is possessed by Affina, she will be much stronger, being able to carry an averaged sized human female adult, more agile and has the ability to use the Lilith demon's full abilities, but this will cause a terrible strain on her to use these abilities, often leaving the girl passed out after the possession has died off, often with bruises all over her body, often her arms and legs will be affected by this. As such Affina often doesn't use this at all and will avoid doing these abilities unless it is absolutely vital to do so lest she wants to kill the only opportunity to be freed from her shackles.

Other: Theme around her:

Spoiler

Dorrian Duguard:

Spoiler

Name: Dorrian Duguard:

Age: 34

Appearance: Dorrian is a brown haired, blue eyed woman that looks to be in her twenties, she seems to wear stuff that seems to complement her body structure, even though her body structure is anything but a model. But that means she is far from obese either. She looks, healthy.

Spoiler

Personality: Responsible adult, can be a bit antsy and overprotective as well as a bit of a worry wort, has no clue about the supernatural and paranormal, so anything weird she explains as just a coincidence or something stupid like that. Because of this, she tends to brush off even the most obviously paranormal incidents often make her explain it in a vain attempt to keep herself in the lie that they do not exist. She Also terribly grieves over the fact that she lost her daughter that one night and continues to feel grief this day for not taking care of her child properly and believing her child.

Biography: Dorrian spent most of her life wanting to grow up and start a family, perhaps too much as some would say, It came to the point that when she was 22 years old she finally got her wish. A young man, seemingly handsome and kind, came into her life and seemed to want a child of his own as well, but left her moments after she was born. This really broke the woman's heart, but she didn't give up and treated the daughter with care and passion until she was about 5 years old. She was watching her child play in the park and something caught her attention for one second, before turning back and finding her daughter gone, she looked around and called her daughter's name several times, running around and looking for her daughter with what felt like hours. The whole neighborhood searched for her daughter until just before the time she could call the police, her daughter came back with a book in her hand and a kitten beside her. In a fit of panic and relief she hugged her daughter and was sobbing, telling her daughter to never ever ever do that again to her. when she took a better look of the stuff her daughter had on her, she told her she cannot let these things into the house, she didn't know if the kitten belonged to someone, the kitten had rabies or what, and her daughter flipped out at her. This happened for weeks, the daughter would sneak the kitten in and feed them, then she would find it, place the kitten in the bathroom and put the kid in time out. This was until she realized that maybe the girl was lonely, and finally gave in and let the child keep both the book and the kitten.

Years later, after the child pestered her about how the cat would talk and her talking about scary things appearing around her, the mother started to get worried that her child was mentally Ill and took her to the doctor who rejected her, claiming it was a overactive imagination, she didn't think so though, since the stuff the child would explained seemed to be so real to her. She went to get a second opinion, then a third, then a forth, then a fifth. This went on until the child turned twelve, where she still encountered the issues, but stopped even listening to the ones that seemed real in a way of trying to deter the child from speaking nonsense and act like a normal child. One night, when she was asleep, she heard a door slam shut, she woke up and called out for her daughter's name, no response. She called again, going towards her room now, still no response. It wasn't until she went into her daughter's room that she realized that her daughter had disappeared with a note saying that she would do things on her own, which caused her to run out and call out for her daughter in her PJs at 4 AM when everyone was asleep. She ran around, looking for her daughter in a desperate manner to find her but to no avail.

Now it's been several months, the police have been called and are on the lookout for her, but assume that she might be dead, but the mother continues to search wracked with grief and worry over her missing daughter she will continue to search for until she dies.

Skills: Due to the police almost giving up on her daughter, she has a keen eye to search for her daughter, looking at newspapers and online articles for the keyword of blonde haired child in her thing, continuously investigating for any sign of her long lost child, otherwise she is a normal human being with no other skills.

The Midnight Man

Spoiler

Name of Folklore: The "Midnight Man" real name... Unknown. Is also often known as the 'Hat Man' shadow figure that people report seeing. That or he is in someway connected to this 'Hat Man' entity.

Type of folklore: Ritual Creature. What is is exactly is... unknown.

Threat Level: 7-8 Often Dangerous, when summoned you must take absolute precautions to not be killed. Even if you do summon him properly and survive, there is a good chance you'll be haunted by him for the rest of your life.

Origin: The Midnight Man originates from a ritual 'creepypasta' that has been spreading around the internet for the past few years. According to the tale, The "Midnight Game" is an old Pagan ritual, used mainly as punishment for those who have broken the laws of the Pagan religion in question.

While it was mainly used as a scare tactic to not disobey the gods, there is still a very existent chance of death and an equally high chance of permanent mental scarring to those who play the Midnight Game. However the reality of this is that the Midnight Game, and in turn the Midnight Man has been around for far longer than times of Pagan rituals and practices. In fact the Midnight Man has been around for far, far longer. With some assuming he's been around since the dawn of human civilization if not time itself.

Story:
The Ritual... goes as follows:

Spoiler

PREREQUISITES:
It must be exactly 12:00 AM when you begin performing the ritual. Otherwise, it will not work.

MATERIALS:
You will need a candle, a piece of paper, a writing implement, matches or a lighter, salt, a wooden door, and at least one drop of your own blood. If you are playing with multiple people, they will need their own of the aforementioned materials and they will have to perform the steps below accordingly.

STEP 1:
Write your full name (first, middle, and last) on the piece of paper. Put at least one drop of blood on the paper. Allow it to soak into the paper.

STEP 2:
Turn off all of the lights in the place you are doing this. Go to your wooden door, and place the paper with your name on it in front of the door. Now, take out the candle and light it. Place it on top of the paper.

STEP 3:
Knock on the door twenty-two times. The hour must be 12:00 AM upon the final knock. Then, open the door, blow out the candle, and close the door. You have just allowed the "Midnight Man" to enter your house.

STEP 4:
Immediately relight your candle.

This is where the game begins. You must now lurk around your now completely dark house, with the lit candle in your hand. Your goal is to avoid the Midnight Man at all costs, until 3:33 AM. Should your candle ever go out, that means the Midnight Man is near you. You must relight your candle in the next ten seconds.

If you are not successful in doing this, you must then immediately surround yourself with a circle of salt. If you are unsuccessful in both of your actions, the Midnight Man will create a hallucination of your greatest fear, and rip out your organs one by one. You will feel it, but you will be unable to react.

If you are successful in creating the circle of salt, you must remain in there until 3:33 AM.

If you are successful in relighting your candle, you may proceed with the game. You must continue to 3:33 AM, without being attacked by the Midnight Man, or being trapped inside the circle of salt, to win the Midnight Game. The Midnight Man will leave your house at 3:33 AM, and you will be safe to proceed with your morning.

ADDITION:
Indications that you are near the Midnight Man will include sudden drop in temperature, seeing a pure black, humanoid figure through the darkness, and hearing very soft whispering coming from an indiscernible source. If you experience any of these, it is advised that you leave the area to avoid the Midnight Man.


DO NOT turn any of the lights on during the Midnight Game.

DO NOT use a flashlight during the Midnight Game.

DO NOT go to sleep during the Midnight Game.

DO NOT attempt to use another person's blood on your name.

DO NOT use a lighter as a substitute for a candle. It will not work.

AND DEFINITELY DO NOT attempt to provoke the Midnight Man in ANY WAY.

Other than that there is not much info on the Midnight Man. As those who often play the game don't live to recite much information about him. While those who do survive the Midnight Game... will say he is far too real. Despite the fact that he has become known as the Midnight Man from the Midnight Game, he has, in reality. Been around for far longer than what the ritual may have you to believe.

Weakness: The Midnight Man does not have too many weaknesses to count. However he does have a few, some of which make people to believe he is some kind of spirit. These weaknesses involve light, especially daylight. Candle light only holds him at bay for a while. He also cannot pass through or over salt due to salt's 'purifying' properties. There is no real way to kill the Midnight Man at all, only ways to drive him back. Which is via daylight. Hence why the ritual is said to end at 3:33am. However... that's not the real true time it ends. That's only when you are SAFE from the Midnight Man. He'll still continue to haunt you and scare you until the sun properly begins to rise. Even then that only causes him to retreat... he'll eventually come back. He always comes back. However after the Midnight Game ritual technically ends at 3:33am, he won't be able to kill you or harm you himself once that exact moment oftime passes. Even if he haunts you from that point on he will not be able to harm you.

Say you do the ritual one night, and survive til 3:33 am. He'll still be around. Just hiding. Haunting you. For anywhere between a few days or until the day you yourself die. Not able to harm you physically, but able to scare you. Possibly scare you into hurting yourself.

However... if you break any of his rules during the Midnight Ritual, and yet you still survive due to your salt circle you had successfully managed to make in time. You will have practically granted him permission to not just haunt you, but even downright HARM you even after the ritual ends. However due to how the Midnight Man is, he won't just kill you the next night comes. No. He'll treasure the fact that you had broken one of HIS rules, and in turn practically granted him to do anything he wants to you. So instead of just killing you the next chance he gets. He'll just mess with you. Torture you mentally and emotionally. He'll do things to your mind that just... make you go mad before he finally gets bored and finishes you. This could take months... years even.

Pray to god that he doesn't find you 'fun' or 'entertaining'. Or he might just not kill you at all. Just torture you for the rest of your life in ways you can't even imagine.

The Midnight Man is usually not a threat to anyone who does not take part in his ritual, or are at the sight of the ritual. It does not matter if you were performing the ritual or not, for as long as you are AT the sight that the ritual is being performed, you will be haunted. He might not try to kill you at first, not until he kills the people who performed the ritual. He also can NOT use his telekinesis on you if you were not at the location of the ritual when he is summoned. Meaning in order to be absolutely safe from the Midnight Man, do not do the ritual... and if you have friends who are doing the ritual. DO NOT GO TO THE PLACE THAT THE RITUAL TO SUMMON THE MIDNIGHT MAN IS BEING DONE OR YOU CAN BE HAUNTED BY HIM.

However if you happen to be related to someone who performs his ritual by blood, you will be able to be affected by the Midnight Man.


Also the Midnight Game as a ritual might be done by hundreds of people all around the globe, but he only targets one person at a time. So sometimes you might do the ritual... and he might not show up. As he is busy tending to another group of dumbasses who are performing his summoning ritual.

Other:

The Midnight Man has a variety of abilities, each of which makes him absolutely dangerous. These abilities are as follows:

The Midnight Man is capable of inducing hallucinations in his victims. Hallucinations of which seem and even feel incredibly real. He usually induces hallucinations of his victims greatest fears to keep them busy, distracted, and most importantly. Vulnerable.

The Midnight Man has the ability to teleport and even become completely invisible. The range on how far he can teleport isn't entirely known, but with how stories and his ritual are done every year all over the world, it's assumed he can teleport anywhere at well. At least when not summoned that is. As when he is summoned he's bound to the location of which the Midnight Game ritual was performed.

This entity also possesses powerful telekinesis, of which he uses to cause what one would normally think is poltergeist activity (such as sending objects like lamps and books across rooms, knocking over bookshelves, slam doors shut, and even scarier. He can stop someone's heart if he so chooses.)

He also has the ability to manipulate shadows and darkness to his will, this goes hand in hand with hallucinations as well, but his manipulation of shadows can be more dangerous. As he can actively make an entire room pitch black, as if it looked like there was nothing but an empty void where a room should be.

The Midnight Man also has the power of persuasion and telepathy. Capable of tricking or forcing others to do what he wants as if they were put under a hypnotic spell, and his telepathy allows him to speak to certain victims (and it is also how he can find a victims deepest fears.)

Even though he is a entity commonly associated with 'Shadow People', he does have a physical form. Or rather he can make his form physical if he so chooses. Though it's hard to tell when this happens, as sometimes he may look like he's in his physical form, which is just a shadowy man which appears to be wearing a fedora and a trench coat, objects would pass right through him. When he does manifest his physical form however, he is incredibly strong. Capable of lifting a grown man by the neck with one hand with surprising ease, as well as able to quite easily rip through a person's ribcage. Along with this he is immune to most conventional weapons like blades, guns and in turn gunfire. As even when he manifests into his physical form, any bullets or blades just seem to... go through them. Only weapons engraved with special runes, or 'magic' can really hurt him.

Lastly, and possibly the most threatening. The Midnight Man has control over lesser entities with a threat level of 1-4. Namely control over spiritual beings/creatures. He also can control other 'Shadow Creatures'. However with other shadow beings, it seems as if they listen and do as he says rather than mind control. Which may lead most to assume that he doesn't actually control the minds of other beings, but rather, they are intimidated by him and only do as he says because of his power.


WARNING! If you pull off the ritual and successfully summon him, and eventually manage to make it to sunrise (which is the true time the Midnight Game is supposed to 'end', instead of the commonly believed 3:33 AM), Do not under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES perform the Midnight Game ritual a 2nd time at any time in the future. For even if you successfully 'beat' the Midnight Game (which is hard, and even if you successfully beat it he will continue to haunt you but unable to harm you) performing the ritual a 2nd time will result in a session of the Midnight Game that is increasingly impossible, as candles or salt will not protect you. No one knows why he gets a power boost towards people who do the ritual a 2nd time, however his 'power boost' ends when sunrise comes or those who are partaking in Midnight Game Round 2 happen to fail.

In short. If you win Midnight Game round 1 and survive, do not do the Midnight Game 'Round 2' As during round 2 and only during a round 2, the Midnight Man is much more powerful... until Round 2 ends either by the players 'losing', or if they happen to somehow win.

And remember...

Even when the game is over, he will always be watching you...

Name: Nue

Threat Level: 5 (Quite dangerous, however they have mellowed out much over the years, settling into a simpler life of trickery for their own amusement)

Country of Origin: Japan

Classification: Yokai

Age: Around 1,000

Abilities: Originally, it’s abilities extended into shape-shifting, along with the ability to cause illness and possibly death through it’s voice, if it so wishes.

Such other things include the ability to obscure themselves and other things and even the ability to channel and use lightning as a weapon.

Original Myth/Backstory: The Nue appears in several stories, but one of it’s main appearances was in the epic “Heike Monogatari”. In the story, it’s cries caused an emperor to fall deathly ill, and they called upon the famous bowman “Minamoto no Yorimasa”, who managed to slay the beast with a hail of arrows.

However, this is where the myth ends and reality began. The beast was not slain by the hail, only heavily wounded. It asked for mercy, and in return, it would never bother the country again. It could even create a fake body to fool everyone else.

They agreed to this, and and Nue vanished, and Yorimasa gained the glory of “killing” a nue.

All stories that followed of it’s corpse were simply caused by sheer paranoia of the thing. The Nue had gone elsewhere, and began far less rash as time went on.

Nobody exactly knows where it is now, or what it is doing. Thus, the Nue is at it’s full strength.

Weakness: A Nue’s weakness is that of it’s true nature being known. A nue is said to embody the unknown, and nobody has ever seen it’s true shape, despite what many believe.

If one does know a Nue’s true form, one may have some power over it, being able to give it commands or orders. Not to say it won’t attempt to kill you later, however.

Appearance: A Nue is a shapeshifter by nature, and as such, can take many forms, depending on what they desire.

Although as of more recent, they’ve preferred a more human form as to more easily blend in. Sometimes male, sometimes female. They have taken a liking to some of the more recent depictions of them, including that seen in the “Touhou Project”, and often look at least somewhat similar to it when masquerading among humans.

@Sustic

Nice First Folklore/Urban Legend it's accepted but elaborate who the abilities can and will affect.

Well, since Ifragilis has been taken, I guess I'll go with Sedatus. I'll probably make an app soonish or when it is time.
