Penitence Project?
20 convicts are chosen and sent to a camp out in the middle of the country, in which they are left to presumably their own devices, but are trusted to make tries in turning their life around, redemption even... but not everyone is capable of change, let alone for the better
HellDwellers?
HellDwellers is the teaming name of the trio that consists of Aconitum, Felix, and Cain. Aconitum is trying her hardest to keep things calm, but unfortunately for her the cryptid in her head and her two teammates are suckers for blood and havoc.
Aconitum?
Spoilers for her lore below;
Prisoner Aconitum Mortensdatter, imprisoned on the account of second-degree murder against theirā¦ partner;ā¦ C. [REDACTED] ā¦
The prisoner pleads innocent, showing barely a hint of remorse, but indeed showing signs of mourning.
Aconitum claims: āI didnāt do it!ā, Aconitum claims: āI would never kill (C. [Redacted]).ā, Aconitum claims: āI loved her with my whole heart.ā
However forensic data and reports from the neighbors support otherwise.
Family members of the Mortensdatter household claimed that Aconitum seemedā¦ out of it the week leading up to the murderā¦ Aconitum had supposedly begun talking to herself when she was aloneā¦ as if there was someone whispering into her earsā¦
Aconitum has continued to do so, even afterā¦ many, and repetitive searches for any auditory devicesā¦ anything that could supply Aconitum Mortensdatter with outsider information and help.
Late into the nights when guards are passing by the mourning prisoner, guards have reported hearing her whisper, pleadā¦ even argue with herselfā¦ but these conversations almost always seemedā¦ one sided.
Guards have also reportedā¦ and as much as we the councils and warden disprove of thisā¦ have reported her eyes reflecting the light of their flashlights, which is impossible; humans do not have a tapetum lucidemā¦ in other words, the specialized layer of tissue behind the retina which reflects the light.
On other days where Aconitum seemedā¦ āout of itā as those who knew her prior had put itā¦ she was much more aggravated by the prisoners around herā¦ seemed much more self assured in her strength, of which on any other day; Aconitum Mortensdatter would not use to even shove a guard even if it meant keeping her own personal space.
On the accounts of the prisoners she has picked fights withā¦ she claims she didnāt do itā¦ she didnāt think she did at leastā¦ doesnātā¦ rememberā¦
We here, believe this is a case of concernā¦ and see our prisoner; Aconitum Motensdatter, as a perfect candidate for the rumored one way tripā¦ The Penitence Project.
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION AND ALIGNMENT BELOW:
Aconitum Mortensdatter, can be seen as an embodiment of misanthropy (the distrust, and hatred towards mankind)... or at least her more aggressive counterpart is. Aconitum is possessed and haunted by an incomprehensible horror of which not only gaslit her into believing she didn't kill her wife; Calluna Knakz, but also has essentially managed to repress any memories of what happens when the entity controls her. the entity MIGHT be The King in Yellow... MIGHT not... we'll see. Aconitum would likely TECHNICALLY be: "Innocent but grows more ruthless as time goes on." HOWEVER, do note: SHE IS GUILTY OF HER CRIMES, SHE IS NOT INNOCENT, SHE JUST BELIEVES SHE IS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE ENTITY ALLOWS HER TO THINK AS OF BEGINNING OF HER STORY. Throughout the rp, she will hopefully develop more into learning and realizing the flaws and the holes in the lies the entity has been telling her... unless a miracle happens, there will be no redemption for her... there may be a small arc here and there where she tries to make up for the death of her wife... but if things go as hoped and/or planned... she will most likely be dragged down by not only the entity and her past, but also others in which she finds herself playing a game of devotion and worship... Aconitum Mortensdatter, will not make it out alive... at least not innocent.
