rpads | New Panfandom Game on Dreamwidth

Welcome to the world of Hellgate!

One moment you were going about with your life; living, fighting, loving. The next, as you walked through a doorway, a portal, got out of the car, stepped off the train, tried to get from point A to point B, you fell. Or that’s what it felt like! A sudden dragging pull, a feeling like you’ve left your stomach behind in freefall, and then you land.

Knee deep in mud, in a quiet corner of New York City’s Central Park.

At least it’s a soft landing?

As you try to catch your breath and not lose your lunch, the mud in front of you boils as something rises from the depths.

Bulbous orange eyes perched on top of the head like a frog, a scaly body like an alligator’s grown to larger-than-human, and a wide slash of a mouth full of black serrated teeth. The creature stands seven foot tall, with the fetid breath of a predator, and in its cold eyes is murder.

It grins, and hands you a cell-phone.

“You get a three minute headstart,” it says, in a low gravelly voice with a terrible New Yawk accent. “After that, I get to eat you.”

With incentive like that, you’d better start running.

Game world and monsters belong to Rob Thurman. Hellgate is a fan-work in this setting.

Application

Hellgate is set in New York in the universe of the Cal Leadros by Rob Thurman, a rather obscure book series. By no means do you need to know the series to play. All you really need to know is that you've been thrown into a world where Supernatural beings are real. People are being dropped into this universe via odd little gates that no one can explain or stop.

There will be an over arcing plot supplemented by a seasonal plot and player driven plots, but nothing is mandatory. You're free to play more to the slice-of-life elements of the game, or the solve the problem, save the town elements, or just go your own way. Please just okay major plots or destruction with the mods.

The game will be open to the general public July 1st, but if you'd like to get the flavor of the game a little early, the cast of the Cal Leandros Universe will be playing out the first appearance of the gates bringing people from other worlds, so you're welcome to stick around and see how things develop while you decide who to play or if this is the game for you while you work on your app! :D

We accept OCs and AUs.

Apps are open, reserves are open, gameplay for non gameverse characters starts July 1st
