Inky blackness and the cold of a void are the only things you can feel. You can’t remember anything right now. The feeling of near nonexistence strangles you, causing you to try and gag. The ability to do so escapes you. You try and claw for your throat, but cannot move.

You try to scream but you lack a voice. After resigning yourself to your fate you realize, you don’t feel the need to breathe at this moment. Calming yourself, you struggle to remember something, anything you possibly can. The basest details of your existence escape you for a moment. Suddenly you latch on to a concept, your gender. You remember you were:

>I was a powerful vampire wearing yellow, green and black clothes. I could control time, being capable of stopping it. I was defeated by the grand-grandson of the person whose body I stole after they reduced me to a head.

Of course, you were a man in life. In an instant, there is a wild flash of white light. You gasp as you suddenly have lungs. Sweet relief floods through you as you gulp in cool breaths of air, however glancing around your surroundings that should not be possible.

Shining almost blindingly bright around you are stars, as you float through space. Scanning your new surroundings you still appear to be floating. You hear nothing still, normally you would chalk that up to the fact that sound does not travel in a vacuum, however the fact you are somehow breathing normally seems to be contradictory to that fact.

Deciding to put that question to rest for the moment as it doesn’t seem that your surroundings are immediately threatening, you attempt to grasp for more memories. It takes you a few seconds but suddenly you remember another fragment of who you were before.

Izac yes that was it. Your name was Izac. A brilliant emerald light shines, blinding you for a moment before you’re lying on your back in a serene green field. You see nothing around for miles, but everything is calm. Staring back up at the Sky again you see a small reflective square appear, revealing your face it sends a tremor of remembrance through you. You’re:

As you remember your age you feel as though the mirror might be showing you less wrinkles than you remember, the mirror dissipates in a puff of smoke you are once again staring at the blue sky. As you look closer you notice that even though the Sun is shining bright, the stars are shining brighter. Their light pierces the blue of the sky and seems to dim the sun itself.

Flashes of horrible creatures flash through your mind. Sapient shadows, abominations that should not be, ooze that creeps into corpses bringing them to horrid unlife. They tread across the ground leaving sickly purple and black pustules and ooze on the ground. You see towers of flying eyeballs and glass lit ablaze firing lasers that blast apart nuclear warheads in the atmosphere. Machines turning on their creators, hundreds of thousands slaughtered by creatures and those that possess the things they created. Humanities defeat. The death of the world prophesized.

This creeping plague is made known to you, an incessant buzzing in your ears begins to make itself rather known as the sound grows louder and louder. Looking at the stars the buzzing becomes many voices all talking to you. What do you hear? What do you see?

>A resolute voice shouting that they must die. They are a disease upon the world, and I am the cure. (You are a Whiteblood, the destroyers of the disease. Your powers are closer to those of super heroes. You can gain the power to enflame emotions with supernatural prowess, igniting yourself as well. You can get the ability to become a living embodiment of stone becoming nearly immovable and incredibly hardy. You can gain the ability to sprout additional arms and gain super strength. All these abilities among others. Variable Main Attribute)

Screams. They tear at your psyche and rake at the backs of your eyeballs. Your eardrums rupture from the sheer volume of screams that echo in your brain and ears. “IT’S NOT THERE!”
“WHERE IS IT!?” The voices get louder and louder until blackness overwhelms you again and you peer into a black void once more. It chuckles at you, but whispers surety. You feel utterly calm though you’re sure you should be throwing up from fear alone. It whispers sweet nothings into your ear.

“It will all be okay… Just focus…” it speaks softly with utter surety.

You calmly focus inward and feel another memory bubble to the surface. Time spent honing yourself, going for a run, studying mathematics. The memory seems almost fragmented. As though it’s not set in stone, it’s malleable. What quality would you feel you’re best at?

The sky begins to fall. The sky begins to get covered by the black viscous ooze as it drips down to the ground. It splatters near you, making sickly sucking noises as it spreads.

Remembering some nature films you had seen on TV you think that it’s usually best to be nonthreatening, but hold your ground. You think. But that alone would be boring, besides you know you’re pretty banging hot anyway. You no longer feel fear. You are a supreme being. You can FEEL it. Standing confidently, planting two feet to hold your ground, you pose with your arms crossed, hands outstretched. Tongue licking your lips in anticipation. You’ve never been what you could particularly call buff, but you definitely know you have some muscle tone. Sunlight catches your frame and accentuates your toned muscles. The light itself arcs around your figure, making you seem both Menacing and yet somehow approachable and non-threatening at the same time. The creatures stop, their eyes bulge, they seem to make some odd gestures toward you. None advance. The ooze creeps slowly towards you, but no creatures make a move. They seem to be waiting for something.

The point of eldritch horror is the fear of a greater existence outside of this world/dimension, and naturally, outside of logic.
To describe the unspeakable in terms of squids and blob creatures takes away the entire point.
To blatantly describe such an event in English is missing the point entirely.

Not dropping your pose for even an instant, you continue to emanate your confidence, your supreme immunity to fear. You reach out mentally and try to prod the voice to speak once more, your attempt fails, but there is a push of assurance from nowhere and everywhere at once. You look out, eyes sweeping over all the creatures as the ooze gets yet closer.

“Why have you come here?”

You see confused looks cross over their faces, as though they do not understand what you asked. Then you feel the same calming presence touch your mind, a wave of understanding flows over them. You see them all start seemingly smacking the ground. More ooze sliding off their grotesque forms. The ooze continues moving to your feet and you simply wait for its effects to take hold.
The ooze creeps all around you and slowly touches your feet. You feel it grasp ahold of you and begin to pool beneath your feet. It deepens until you feel it grab you and begin to pull you in. the viscous contents of the pool sticking to your skin like a living tar. You almost feel as though a million hands are gently pulling you down. You feel no fear. The voice you heard before chuckles at you again.

“Oh… I’m glad I’ve found you. This will make for VERY interesting options for us… Thank you my friend. I will call on you, when I have need of you...”

More screams, more visions of the death of humanity, planes overtaken by creatures of shadow. More visages of many eyes creatures, a million mouths flash. The cracking of bones and smacking of lips. Yet none of this bothers you. You drink it in like a fine glass of aged port. Slowly letting it overtake you.

As darkness overtakes you, you hear more noise. It seems distant and unclear at first, but as time passes it becomes clearer, more distinct. Though as you wait longer it appears to change constantly, sometimes you feel the rhythmic rumbling of something. Others it’s thudding almost like footsteps. Then as you wait longer it settles on something. What do you hear?

>It’s the humming of an engine, the rumbling I felt was the feel of a vehicle moving across a dirt road.

You rustle about, suddenly awake. Your eyes take in the dying light of a sunset and the cool navy blue of the night sky. Sitting up your eyes take in the orange glow of a fire surrounded by sizeable stones. There is a pot suspended above it using a couple metal poles and a cross bar. The smell coming off of it is delightful. There is a grizzled old man with black hair in a tan duster stirring the pot with a gloved hand slowly and methodically. He has a revolver tucked neatly into a holster at his side. The gumbo looks nice and thick, sizable chunks of beef and vegetables tantalize your nose with their smell and your mouth waters in anticipation.

The man looks up at you and smiles.

“Glad to see you’re back in the realm of the waking. Surprised to see that at all truth be told. I found you covered in a pile of that vile gunk those beasts keep making. You hungry?”

You state, placing your left palm on your right bicep and holding out your right hand getting to your feet and standing in a powerful looking pose. A pose befitting one such as yourself. The stranger makes a confused look, but just shakes his head lightly and places the bowl in your hand. He also hands you a spoon with which to eat.

You sit down and happily begin chowing down on the meal. It’s absolutely fantastic, the beef falls apart in your mouth and the gravy forms beneath your tongue warming it nicely. You hadn’t felt it before but it’s getting a little cold so the warmth from the food is very welcome. The stranger smiles as you down the food while filling his own bowl. He sits down near you and begins to tentatively eat his portion.

“So then friend, I don’t know your name.” He smiles and holds out one hand. “Names Nicolas. What’s yours?”

Okay guys, we can lie or tell truth. I am up for both.

>Honor him with our true name, as he has offered us sustenance

Or

>He does not deserve to hear our true name, as such we will mislead him into thinking our name is Kars/Dio

I am up for both

While I wait for replies, I'll be cooking some dinner and will be back periodically to write/check posts/answer questions.
>>
>>42447700
>Izac
lets use that charisma and make some allies.
>>
I'm kinda surprised no one has suggested going full on Hannibal Lecter on the old guy. I was tempted but posing won out.

He has information we need. And since we already consider that gumbo to be delicious, let us get sustenance for our brain, information, first from Nicolas before we get sustenance for body.

>>42447700

OP. I assume we are unaware of any abilities of our body beyond the stats? Would consuming a person through our whole body, like absorption, be possible?
>>
>>42447902
I'd rather get a better handle on our situation, and on what OP is going for, before shitting the bed.
>>
>>42447978
SanTana body absorption thusfar is impossible. You have a nagging idea that you have some abilities you did not before. You do remember that 'dream' vividly. Any information about what is going on in the world thusfar however you do not know. It's as if you've traded your memories for something else.
>>
>>42448156
>thusfar
>Up to this point; so far

So in future, it might be possible?
I love you.

>being a supreme being
>Not causing lesser creatures to dissolve on contact with your magnificence

Give me some credit.
>>
>>42447978
So we pump him for info, then when he is distracted go full murder hobo on his head case with a rock. His stuff becomes ours, and we can add him to our gumbo?
>>
I'm also seeing a general consensus of 'Let's tell him our real name and find out where we are and what's going on.' Will begin writing.

“My name is Izac.” You state rather bluntly.

“Izac huh? Well nice to meet you Izac.” Nicolas smiles warmly to you.

“So where exactly ARE we, Nicolas?” You say gently placing your bowl down near the fire, its good finished quickly and resting nicely in your stomach.

Nicolas gets a confused look on his face. “You don’t know where we are?”

You shake your head succinctly. “No. I do not. Other than a desert.” You gesture around and the orange sand and sparse foliage around you.

Nicolas shakes his head. “Damn, well I suppose you could have gotten lucky once those things carted you off.” He looks thoughtful for a moment. “Anyway, you’re about 20 Miles off the #10 interstate highway. About 50 miles from Sonora, Texas. Them creatures tend to like the city and move in swarms. Flat open ground is my favorite way to avoid them, but lately I’ve been having to take risks. That food I cooked up was some of my last. I still got plenty of water and a few canned meals though. If we keep moving and pace ourselves we can make it to Sonora to scavenge. Hell that’s the only hope at this point. I’m not rightly sure I trust my wilderness survival skills in a desert.” He laughs lightly. “Where were ya headed then Kid?”

>I don’t know
>Last I remember I was on the road to Del Rio (lie)
>Last I remember I was getting swallowed by a black sinkhole and some strange creatures were just kind of looking at me.
>Other

Sorry, was occupied making sure I wouldn't have to deal with a bunch of stuck on gunk to the pan.

Question what do we have on us? Are we naked? If so we need to pose 'harder' and also gank this poor bastard for his sweet sweet brain meats and loot. Ganking should be done with a large hand held rock preferably when the prey is not paying attention to us. . . Which might be a tid bit hard to do while posing naked, but we are a supreme being.
>>
>>42448596
>>Last I remember I was getting swallowed by a black sinkhole and some strange creatures were just kind of looking at me.
Honesty is the best policy!
>>
>>42448807
You have your base clothes on you. I'll assume Jeans and a T shirt. Or a T shirt and shorts. Other than that nothing of note. Maybe a Cowboy hat if you wanted one.
>>
>>42448857
Cowboy hat is a check.

>>42448807
I'm still opposed to shitting the bed right now. Jolly old Saint Nic is our only guidepost right now.

>>42448915
>right now.
right now.
>>
>>42448915
>>42448929
Fair point we can always eat him later.
>>
So I'm seeing some conflict here. Are you
A) Ganking Nic
B) Being Honest
Or both in reverse order.
>>
>>42449100
Holding off on the ganking and being honest.
>>
>>42449100
No gankaronies.

Superior-lifeform-posing anon here. Must retreat to slumber soon as it is 6 am. So last reply to you guys


>>42448596

>Last I remember I was on road to El Rio(lie)

We will use him for as long as he is of value. Like milking a cow before slaughtering it for meat. But we must keep him calm, like a shepherd with his sheep, bringing them to us to shear their wool but not hesitating to also use them for meat or skin if it is needed
>>
Twitter will be @EldritchQM for anyone who is interested. And what I see here we'll be doing the Honest thing. Writing.

You look at Nicolas as you recount your dream. “Last I remember I was getting swallowed by a black sinkhole and some strange creatures were just kind of looking at me.”

Nicolas stares at you blankly, a light smile appears as he chuckles nervously. “H-Haha. Good joke, kid.”

You stare at him blankly. With not a hint of emotion touching your lips you simply state “It wasn’t a joke. That’s all I remember.”

Nicolas stops chuckling. “Well shit. You really are serious, aren’t ya?” He looks perplexed for a moment. “So those creatures. Could ya describe them to me?”

Deciding Honesty is the best policy you nod and matter of factly state to him that they looked like creatures of nightmare. Black ooze, tentacles, living shadows. That sort of thing. Nicolas sits quietly listening to your story with rapt interest. After you finish up with your recollection of what the creatures were like Nicolas lets out a deep breath.

“Well shit. That’s quite the story there, boy. Sounds like you got into a little scuffle with the Iz. Least that’s what the army and everyone seems to be calling those… things lately.” Nicolas ponders something to himself for a moment before he looks up at you and smiles lightly. “Well hell, I suppose surviving an encounter with those things should be bad, but I’m not so sure. Maybe you just have a run of luck to save you from the devil, and mines been bad so maybe if we stick together that could work in my favor. I know how to find my way around pretty well and where to look for supplies in cities. I think we could help each other out. What do you say, Izac?” Nicolas holds out his hand to you and smiles. The crackle of the fire is the only noise left in the quiet night.

Pick any number.

>Shake his hand
>Thank him
>Refuse his hand
>other.

Loyal minion we can later use as power-up, get

DID I DO GOOD BY SUGGESTING POSES AND FABULOUSNESS AND SUPERIORITY, TG?
>>
>>42449488
Sounds good. Maybe pose more subtly.
>>
>>42449488
>>42449590
>>42449591
I see we'll be posing majestically while taking his hand. Writing.

>>42449590
Honestly, it's not what I expected in this quest. But it's my first time running a quest and i'm having a blast. So yes. You did good.

Nodding at Nicolas, you lift your left hand and close your hand in a fist. Stretching your pointer and middle finger out into a subtle yet magnificent pose, the orange light from the fire flickering wondrously on your features.
Holding your right hand out you shake Nicolas’s hand. You see a look of wonder and admiration flicker across his face, but also confusion. As you take his hand he nods in a satisfied manner and smiles lightly again.

“Alright then Izac. Looks like we’ve got a future ahead of ourselves. Let’s make sure we live well in the ruins of the last age, yeah?” before he laughs lightheartedly.

Though you feel nothing specifically. A smile comes to your lips as well.

"Yes Nicolas. Let's."

Nicolas continues chuckling to himself as he goes to lay out sleeping bags for the both of you.

[Session End.]

I believe I'll be ending it here as I feel it's a good place to end off the character creation section, as well as it's getting late so posts are less frequent. I'll probably run again tomorrow or soon after, depending on my college workload.

+4 Experience.

I will be using an experience point system to allow you to gain more and more power/train attributes as the sessions go on. Experience will likely vary from session to session, but I'll try to not give less than 2 at any time. Selection of what powers you gain will begin at the start of next session most likely. I will be here for another hour or so to take any questions that people have.
>>
>>42449590
I thought it was a really shitty and obnoxious thing to do, but if OP enjoyed it, then that's all that really matters.
>>
>>42449643
Op drop a link when you get the twitter set up? Also we got an archive for this ready?
>>
>>42449817
Also thanks for running it was pretty interesting.
>>
>>42449825
Well you kind of roll with the punches, and I don't dislike JoJo. So there's that. And given the choices that were mostly agreed upon a looking down your nose and using people point of view definitely fits the No Soul thing.

>>42449854

I'm doing a request on the archive right now. But my internet is being shit. Collegenet.

>>42449891
I'm glad to hear that it was interesting. I've been trying to think of a Quest I could run for a while and this popped into my head today. I had a lot of fun.
>>
>>42449854
Alright it's apparently Archived now.
