singillatim mods + ooc info

The last thing you remember is static, any electronics around you suddenly screaming in disjointed white noise and you find yourself looking up at the sky, and seeing the lights. It doesn't matter where you are, what time of day or night it is, it's there. A swirling aurora of blues, greens and purples that stretches as far as the eye can see: it's almost like a storm, an impossible storm. You've never seen anything like it.

And when you awaken, you find yourself somewhere very different. Some may find themselves in a dark, empty log house; others may wake up in a cave. The unfortunate ones will find themselves in the middle of a snowy woods, open to the elements. There may be someone with you, but more often than not — you are completely alone.

The world you find yourself in is sparsely populated in terms of buildings; and there seems to be no trace of anyone who lived here. The homes you may find yourselves in, or come across in your travels are void of life, left empty — as if someone simply just got up and left. There's some supplies that can be found: food, medicine, clothing, weapons — but it won't last long.

Be frugal, be clever, be vigilant, and you might just survive. That’s the hard part. Maybe after then you may be able to uncover the secrets of this world, and find a way to return home.

Well, sucks to be you. You've landed in a seemingly endless world of eternal winter. Wilderness is vast, settlements are few. I'd say it's a jungle out there, but at least a jungle would be warm.

After a strange occurrence of geomagnetic storm occurs wherever someone may currently be, characters are pulled from their own worlds and thrown into an alternate earth. However, in this earth, they find themselves in a wild, isolated frozen landscape. Characters will soon discover that they may be in what appears to be the furthest reaches of northern Canada. But it's hard to tell exactly where. There is no way to communicate with the rest of the world, those who are trapped here are completely cut off. Humanity has almost entirely disappeared, in most cases as if they simply vanished. Others may have left in a hurry, leaving a great deal of items and possessions behind.

They will find this world difficult and unforgiving, with extreme weather and altered wildlife battling against them. Nature is the one enemy here. She is formidable, and you are not part of her design.

Singillatim focuses on character development / stories. Maybe you've come with a fish out of water who will need to learn how to survive, or perhaps you're a hardened survivor ready to take on this new world. The game will contain themes of survival and some post-apocalyptic themes, with some supernatural folk horror inspired by both fictional and real-life myths and legends. Some of these may be your friend, some may be your foe.

Characters will be power-warped during their time in game. They will be, essentially, regular old mundane humans. If you character is non-human, they will be without any perks, abilities or powers native to their species. There will be opportunities for characters to gain powers through a blessing (or curse) of the Aurora.

Applications and events will be posted on a two monthly basis, in alternating months to one another. Events and TDMs will consist of three prompts offering a mixture of survival, supernatural horror/folk horror, extreme weather, exploration and action. Players are encouraged to tell their own stories and make their own connections.
