Located in the middle of nowhere, Duskvale is a strange and eerie little town. With very few neighbouring towns for miles, the residents of Duskvale are relatively isolated. As if that isn't enough, Duskvale has something of a strange and violent history. Duskvale had high levels of activity during the witch hunts long ago, with public lynchings, hangings, and burnings on a daily basis. About a hundred years ago, almost the entire town was wiped out by a terrible plague, save for a few families. Since then, however, the town has grown in size and population, and today it is an almost entirely self-sufficient little town, isolated and happy. Duskvale is considered an excellent retreat for those looking for life in a community-centred town, as well as those interested in a more reclusive lifestyle.
Duskvale does, however, have some dark little secrets. What very few people know about Duskvale is that shortly before the terrible plague, the town was cursed. The curse stated that anyone who died within the town limits would never be able to leave. Due to the town's recent growth, however, the curse now only applies to the old part of town. Though very few people could possibly be aware of it, Duskvale has a massive population of ghosts, as well as a secretive population of witches.
Welcome to the town of Duskvale. What will you be? A blissfully unaware townsperson? An innocent newcomer plagued by hauntings? Perhaps something darker, like a member of Duskvale's exclusive and secretive witch population, or even one of Duskvale's invisible citizens, trapped forever within the town limits?
The town of Duskvale is split in two. On the East side of town is the old part of town, with its creaky homes and possible hauntings. On the West is the newer part of town, the houses much more up to code and lacking the ghosts that inhabit the old ones. In the middle is the commercial part of town, a few streets of shops and stores. Some of the shops fall within the old city limits, others do not.
The rules of Duskvale are very simple. Firstly, all rules of Iwaku obviously apply. Secondly, you must post a character bio to join, but you don't have to wait for approval before you can begin RPing.
This thread is not for OOC chat, that is to be done through private messaging. Thus, if your character needs some tweaks for any reason, you will receive a PM about it.
You may have as many characters as you want. However, for every supernatural character you have - ghost or witch - you must have at least two regular human characters.
I ask that people take note of where in town they are and what time of day it is in their posts. We want time to flow at a decent rate, but we also don't want people time travelling when one of them says something in the morning and the other doesn't reply until others have progressed the time to late evening. Please take note of where others are before making time progress.
I also ask that people try to keep their characters diverse in terms of age. It's unrealistic to have an entire town of young adults - we need children, teens, and seniors to make this work. Try to set up family units with friends if you want!
