Character Halloween is the twelfth instalment of the casual threads from Character Development Thread.
As the name suggests, the roleplay is a Halloween-themed installment of the Character Development Threads. The thread is set in a deserted old castle within a desolate forest, where a group of characters have gathered on the evening before Halloween night. Naturally, spooky events will ensue...
The thread can be found here
. It started, appropriately, on October 2014, and concluded in February of the following year.
Character Halloween contains examples of:
- Anti-Climax: The group in the West Wing finds a mysterious box that burns Moreena when she tries forcing it open. After a lot of searching that involves an accidental trip into the Fear Room, they find a key and open it. It turns out to contain chocolate.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: A werewolf resembling a bipedal doberman pursues Tristane into the thread, only to encounter Recon, who kills it in about two posts worth of "combat" and takes its head to use as a hat.
- Ghostly Chill: Krajn and Oswald encounter a number of periodic, inexplicable cold breezes in their explorations, and the ghostly entity that they eventually encounter also gives off a slight chill. Krajn finds it more irritating than anything else, since she's a qrtxian.
- Halloween Episode: As the name suggests, the thread goes pretty much full out in attempting to represent a stereotypical scary movie setting.
- Never Split the Party: Krajn and Oswald keep discussing the possibility of splitting up to cover more ground. They also keep rejecting it, because they have no way to stay in touch if they do.
- The Speechless: The 'spirit of mischief' can seemingly only communicate by shaping dust or dirt into words.
- Überwald: A good way to describe the setting as a whole, for reasons mentioned under Halloween Episode.
