''Welcome, mortal. Welcome in the Purgatory, place between Heaven and Hell, place where everything seems just like it was in your world... Until you'll encounter the demons. Don't worry though, it is your duty to encounter them, fight with them and emerge victorious. You've been chosen a Purgatory Warrior, just like the famous Daniel Garner or infamous William "Bill" Sherman. You'll destined to fight against the hordes of Undisputed Ruler of Purgatory, Alastor and his four Generals. Should you defeat them, you'll delay the invasion of hellish armies on the Earth and also our world as well. It won't be an easy task, but we'll provide you with necessary assistance... Oh, and one more question, out of pure curiosity.

...How does it feel to be dead?''

So yeah, it's Painkiller-based RP. You're dead for some reason and you wake up in Purgatory where your seemingly hopeless quest begins. Expect it to be rather hack-n-slash type of RP, though some more difficult challenges can emerge before you as you progress the story.

Now, to make things straight:

  • Playing as an angel or a demon is not possible, due to their "inability" to die and reappear in Purgatory. Also, it would've been kinda hard to explain, why that demon fight his/her brothers and sisters?
  • Nor you can play as an undead. You can play as someone who looks like undead without any problems though.
  • Type 1 is the maximum, unless the character is explictly stated to have no magical or supernatural powers whatsoever. You'll get some magic through the story, don't worry.

How should it like:

  • Name/Surname/Codename - Well, obviously.
  • Franchise - If the character is an OC, you need to describe him brick by brick: Personality, appearance and such.
  • Death - How did you died. It may play a significant role, though it doesn't have to.
  • Sin - Good souls don't end in Purgatory unless they commited some real vileness. This kinda eliminates characters described as Incorruptible Pure Pureness unless you'll add something that could change the character, even by accident.
    • Which means that good characters are available, as even they have their weaknesses and temptations.
  • Other - Everything that you think can prove useful at roleplaying the character and help me as a GM.

I'm not exactly the Killer GM, but I will punish stupid actions. Sure, the roleplay is based on a "Kill 'Em All" game with One-Man Army -style character, but many things changed these days. Demons are getting elite. You can hold your own against five of them, maybe even ten of them at once. Fifteen of them will simply shred you like a wet paper.

I hope that it will... Uh, survive for some time. As soon as I'll have at least three players, I'm ready to launch the game.

Best Regards

Nice to know that there's already an interest in RP. Got someone particular in mind?

Never played Painkiller. Is it sort of like Constanti-... I mean, Hell Blazer?

How should I put this...? Uh, never heard of this Hell Blazer. Anyways, it's a Polish game based on, as one of the reviews said, "frenzied, S&M-laden coupling of DOOM and Serious Sam." Basically, a simple FPS where your objective is to kill everyone.

Better then it may sound.
