Line #16 Roleplay/ShadowOverBasingsport


1	->''"A cult for the elder gods has warped reality, dimensions blending and ripped apart-some have ended up in an empty city, with empty souls and fog-laden streets. What is Basingsport? Could their foul rituals have been answered?"''
2
3	A [[http://basingsport.forumotion.com brand-spanking new forum-based Roleplaying Game]] heavily inspired by the Franchise/CthulhuMythos and also ''Franchise/SilentHill'' and ''TabletopGame/TheWorldOfDarkness'', run by a couple. The premise is that a cult wanted to become a part of their [[GodIsEvil god]] so they used a ritual to do so-[[GoneHorriblyWrong it backfired]]. Now people from different worlds are brought to a city apparently in New England, some bringing their homes with them.
4
5	They aren't the only things there- [[Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt faceless 'people']] that seem to neither be alive or dead are there... and possibly others.
6
7	So far, mostly the [[ThereAreNoAdults cast consists of a lot of young teenagers]], the oldest of those having spent about half of her life in an insane asylum. The adults are [[ComicBook/TheSandman Death]] [[TeamMom of the]] [[PerkyGoth Endless]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}} Xanatos]] and [[BlackMagicianGirl a light-based mage]] from ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends''. Oh and the cult.
8
9	Some unique features include TheCorruption mechanic-go far enough, the character will become unplayable. Another is how abilities can be leveled.

12	!!Tropes Used:
13	%% * AlternateTimeline: ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' escaped one. Him and Valerie are trying to make one. Trying not to cancel out Dani is an issue.
14	%% * TheArtfulDodger: [[WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand Jana]] [[OriginalCharacter Snitch]] and [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Dani]]-for [[ParentalAbandonment tragic]] [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness reasons]].
15	%% * BadassNormal: Xanatos. [[MagnificentBastard Need I say more]]?
16	* TheBartender: He's a voiceless faceless mook with every beverage imaginable available.
17	%% * BattleCouple: Valerie and Danny are an example.
18	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Sophia is a ShrinkingViolet who is empathic... and a living EmotionBomb.
19	* BlackMagicianGirl: In spite of being a light-based mage, Luxanna's powers are offensive and her [[GenkiGirl cute demeanor]] and being an excellent tactician make her this [[ZigzaggedTrope trope zigzagged]].
20	%% * CreepyChild: Two players can opt for one. It's the only way to have one with a dash of HorrorHunger.
21	%% * DareToBeBadass: [[spoiler: How Jana became a cyborg]].
22	%% * DeathOfAChild: Being set in a CrapsackWorld, don't expect young babies to be spared.
23	%% * DefectorFromDecadence: Sophia and Dani, pretty much. Sophia's a regular princess while Dani is a [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruction]] of a MafiaPrincess.
24	%% * DisappearedDad: Tends to be common-Jana never knew hers, [[IfICantHaveYou Robin's]], [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Sophia's]]... DysfunctionJunction, anyone?
25	%% * EldritchAbomination: The creation of Basingsport has something to do with one-how much is just the cult's EpicFail is currently unknown.
26	%% * EmotionEater / EmotionBomb: Sophia.
27	%% * FairFolk: Robin and Sophia of the classic kind. They're nice, though.
28	%% * FishOutOfTemporalWater: Boy are they ever.
29	%% * GodIsEvil: Well, what seems like one, anyway. [[Literature/{{Emberverse}} Near enough as nevermind]].
30	%% * HalfHumanHybrid: Sophia, sort of. Her mom was, anyway.
31	%% * LovecraftCountry: Ooooh, yeah.
32	* OurSoulsAreDifferent: Seemingly. The little note on pregnancy is absolutely horrific. [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman You monster]]... try not to think [[RetGone too hard about what happens to that 'empty']].
33	%% * PerkyGoth: Death, who is the UrExample.
34	%% * RaisedByGrandparents: Unfortunately, Sophia's [[EvilMatriarch grandmother was not a nice person]].
35	%% * RoyallyScrewedUp: Sophia's family with the exemption of her mother. Luckily it's not InTheBlood.
36	%% * ShoutOut: To [[InspirationNod Lovecraft]] (Duh), ''TabletopGame/TheWorldOfDarkness'', ''Franchise/SilentHill'' and ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt''. [[ItMakesSenseInContext On the other hand]]... OhCrap.
37	* SquishyWizard: Sophia and Robin. They've got magic but both have been locked in an insane asylum for years, hence their physical states are not so good.
38	* TeenageWasteland: A shocking amount of people torn away from their hands are very young-and many of them abandoned or orphaned.
39	* TimeyWimeyBall: [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Danny, Valerie and Dani]] are all from various points in their canon-Danny during their WhamEpisode, Valerie after her [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies break up with]] [[DatingCatwoman Danny]] and Dani is post-series. They figure time travel, but is it?
40	* WorldOfActionGirls: Most of the female cast are capable ass-kickers.
