History Roleplay / UncannyTalesOfLinburn

* CityOfWeirdos: A given, especially considering the current cast already includes werewolves, a zombie, a SlimeGirl, multiple dragons, and a naga, amongst others.

''Uncanny Tales of Linburn'' is a PlayByPost UrbanFantasy sandbox roleplaying game started by @/{{kaalban}} in late May 2018. The setting is that of a world similar to our own, except with the presence of ancient supernatural forces deeply rooted from the precursor age known as 'Old Earth' that have only fairly recently revealed themselves to the modern era, mysteriously potent within a particular city on the East Coast named Linburn. Practically any type of character is permitted, ranging from vampires, ghosts, zombies, sentient books, MagicalGirls, wizards, etcetera, as long as they follow the standard [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13414403220A81433600&page=1#1 roleplaying rules]] and as long as they stay within the setting of the city.

!Tropes applying to the RP

* OurMonstersAreDifferent: Practically every supernatural being has a unique twist, at least those that are based on actual legend. To elaborate:
** OurAngelsAreDifferent: Angels-Machines have three forms: Human, True and Manifestation (a form that heavily depends on the angel). Their True Form is akin to machines, [[{{Magitek}} and their magic looks like a very advanced technology.]] Their morality depends on the individuals.
** OurDemonsAreDifferent: Demons-Organisms refer to fallen angels, whose main source of power is Bio-Sorcery (biopunk + magic). As a result, they look more like mutated abominations that standard demons.
** OurGodsAreDifferent: There are two types of gods in this universe: Daemons and Gods. Daemons were the deities of Old Earth, and they were often evil, apathetic or [[BlueAndOrangeMorality incomprehensible.]] Gods are deities from mythologies that were formed from a high-caliber Old Earth essence. Despite their immeasurable power compared to mortals, both of them can indeed be killed.

* TheUnmasquedWorld: According to the intro, the intended masquerade that hid magic from the New World broke within the ''first week.'' Thankfully, due to the combined efforts of the Knight-Order and WORM, this did not result in a complete disaster.

* AbusivePrecursors: Most Daemons were not exactly well known for their benevolence towards their subjects.
* AllMythsAreTrue

* AngelsDevilsAndSquid: Angel-Machines, Demon-Organisms and Daemons who are still alive.
* ArchEnemy: Knight-Order's (and Angels') top enemies are Rotten Beings.
** For WORM, it's Daemonians and Daemonkin.

* EndOfAnAge: Old Earth, an era when Daemons ruled supreme, came to a finish due to God-Creator and his Angel-Machines, leading to the creation of New Earth.

* FantasyKitchenSink: As mentioned above, all manner of supernatural legends and creatures can apply simultaneously within the setting.

* JerkassGods: Whatever their morality was, most Daemons saw their creations as either inconveniences or forms of twisted entertainments.

* MagicalSociety: Mage Union (or Union of Mages)

* SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness: Balanced, sliding slightly towards serious.

* IllegalReligion: WORM (subsidiary of Mage Union) has a legal permission to hunt down any kind of Daemonians, worshippers of Daemons.

** The Knightly Order in particular seem to despise and attach a special priority to hunting down the Dark God Cults, due to the danger associated with them and their profane rituals.

* TheUnmasquedWorld: According to the intro, the intended masquerade that hid magic from the New World broke within the ''first week.'' Thankfully, due to the combined efforts of the Knight-Order and WORM, this did not result in a complete disaster. Both the supernatural and the mundane live side by side in this world, combing magic and technology into a fairly stable society.

** Gotterdammerung brought upon the end to the Age of Gods.

** OurAngelsAreDifferent: Angels-Machines have three forms: Human, True and Manifestation (a form that heavily depends on the angel). Their True Form is akin to machines, [[{{Magitek}} and their magic looks like a very advanced technology.]]

* EndofAnAge: Old Earth, an era when Daemons ruled supreme, came to a finish due to God-Creator and his Angel-Machines, leading to the creation of New Earth.

* TheMagicComesBack: Second Renaissance is the time when magic suddenly reappeared en masse.
* MagicalSociety: Both the supernatural and the mundane live side by side in this world, combing magic and technology into a fairly stable society.
* ChurchMilitant: Knight Order of Zaziel serve their deity (God-Creator) by destroying Rotten Beings.
* OurMonstersAreDifferent: Practically every supernatural being has a unique twist, at least those that are based on actual legend.

* TheUnmasquedWorld: According to the intro, the intended masquerade that hid magic from the New World broke within the ''first week.''

* MilitantChurch: Knight Order of Zaziel serve their deity (God-Creator) by destroying Rotten Beings.
