It has almost been two weeks since the appearance of the strange creatures walking in the streets of New York. The attacks have dwindled, leaving in the wake of oppressive shadows a body count and a mysterious cause of death. The victims have been described as displaying a series of odd changes in behavior, ranging from:

hallucinations

increased sexual desires

high fevers

loss of impulse control

repression of morality

loss of memory

blackouts

Strangely, the attacks have ceased entirely and reports are coming in that the creatures are no where to be seen. A heaviness hangs in the air. There are twelve dead and no knowledge gained in regards to the creatures much to the dismay of many heroes who made an attempt to defend the city. Perhaps next time more information can be gained, but for now it seems as though the danger has passed....

...for now.

Congratulations members! You have survived Phase 01 of Nocturne. What your characters have learned is up to you, but the general knowledge they should know is:

the creatures are vulnerable to light

a bite will induce heightened sexual appetite

too many bites are fatal

they are being controlled by something

As this is a beginning event, there is very little information to be found. When we release future events in the Nocturne Arc, there will be mini events released where members can gain additional information, additional IC items, and some fun surprises that can add to developing your muse further. As the events continue we encourage our members to take part wholeheartedly any way they can and enjoy it to the full extent! 

Thank you to everyone who took part and look forward to Phase 02 being released in the near future!

He had first seen the thing chasing after a civilian. Even if he had no experience fighting it, he wanted to save the person. For his trouble, he had ended up underneath the creature, desperately trying to throw it off. The innocent had gotten away and that was what mattered.

Its teeth sank into his arm and he screamed.

Blood poured from the wound, his enhanced healing already working but he already felt lightheaded and- something. With a hard shove, the threw the thing off, the monster crashing into a wall. Standing, he ran. Sparks flew through his brain, like the chair, but more...he wasn’t sure. It hurt, the whole world turning brighter, neon and grotesque. Thought slowly left him, replaced by a drive the likes of which he had never felt, even when the asset fully took control of his mind.

That monster was coming, HYDRA’s dog forced itself through along with something more primal, more animal. Rage and blood lust clouded his vision and he turned, staring along the street where more of those monsters chased others. Instead of wanting to stop, he wanted to join them, to break and tear and rip apart anyone he came across. The asset’s knife was in one and a gun dropped by a police officer, the dead man slumped over the front of his car, in the other. Starting down the street, a low growl rumbled through his chest.

There would be blood.

There is an air of malcontent and unease that spreads alongside the inky darkness swallowing the city up one block at a time. A string of strange animal mauling victims are the first sign of something very wrong on the streets. Police are uncertain what to do and advise citizens to stay indoors after sunset.

As you walk the streets, there is a sudden low growling, a metallic snapping of teeth...

WHAT THIS MEANS:

The creatures loose on the city are immune to all physical attacks and seem only somewhat phased by energy attacks. Players may write prose in response to an attack from these strange creatures, however, please remember these things: 

               -- bites are not fatal but the venom they expel induces                    a sort of primal craze in victims ranging from increased                    violence to increased sexual drive. 

               -- blood loss and overdosage of venom is fatal.

               -- they react and move according to sounds, attacking                   loud targets/objects blindly without a second thought.

               -- while killing them is not impossible, it is incredibly difficult. THE GOAL:

Find a cure for the creatures’ bites, stop the invasion on the city, try to find the culprit, and most importantly survive.
