QUICK GAME FACTS

This a guide to help potential players decide if the game is what they are looking for at a quick glance. We hope this will answer many of your questions. If you would like more information, please see our General FAQ.
▶ Tone: Primarily horror, with city life. Trying to overcome their monster urges, fighting, living in one of the cities trying to survive or begin a new life. The game is mostly player-centric in nature with a background, overarching plot to keep things interesting.
▶ Canon Powers: Characters do not get to keep any of their canon powers when arriving. Nonhumans also get turned into humanoid creatures (we say humanoid as, say, trolls from Homestuck could still keep their horns and their grey color skin, etc).
▶ Monsters: Characters will be given a monster after about a month of being in the game during a fog event. They will then have up to four months to give that character the required changes. There are also optional changes and powers for each monster.
▶ Age Requirement: 16+ for players. There is also a smut community (both for OOC and IC purposes) that requires the players to be 18+ to participate. There is currently no age restriction on characters.
▶ Canon Characters and OCs only. No AUs, CRAUs, etc. If there is a canon AU (say Cloud from Kingdom Hearts), this is also permitted. But no AU created by yourself or in other fanworks.
▶ At its basis, this is a monster game. Applicants should expect horror and horrific events in general, sprinkled with humor and more light-hearted ones to keep a balance. But our primary objective and theme is horror (albeit more 1950's style than gore).

Ryslig is a panfandom roleplay with body horror and general speculative fiction themes, based on the premise that all arriving characters are slowly transforming into monsters. Characters initially arrive as ordinary humans stripped of all previous powers but over the next couple of months end up as something more.
The characters' development as they deal with the change is the primary focus, although there will be an ongoing plot along with exploration elements as well. Player-decided actions will have a large effect on the plot and individual characters can take their development in any number of ways as well. Characters can terrorize the civilians and become feared local legends, demand sacrifices, kidnap the innocent, seclude themselves in the wilderness, join a gang, start a cult, or even become celebrities (people love authentic-looking monster movies, after all).

▶ Preformed at the end of each month, which is always listed in the calendar. The AC lasts 5 days, with two additional days for the warnings. Players must submit at least 20 replies to pass AC each month.
▶ Taking a strike does not mean you need to double your AC next month. Instead, you must meet regular AC requirments for the next two months without the ability to hiatus.
▶ There are coins awarded for additional activity that can go towards powers, skills, and items for the characters, up to a maximum of 20 coins each month (equivalent to 200 additional comments)

▶ Prose (both written prose and action prose is allowed) and Network Posts which have limited technology (no videos, terrible bmp images, screeching sound bytes).
▶ Speed is medium, with most players perfectly willing to backtag until threads are completed.
