How long?...

[Somefreakoverthere]

"But Father, I'm not a child! It's not up to you to decide on what I do! I don't care if I'm grounded, Dad, I'm still going to go!"

Sarah shouted before she locked her bedroom door, opened the window and quickly climbed the branch and down to the base of the tree. There! That hadn't been so hard, had it? But now she could feel something from the forest, calling her, begging her to come... she followed it until she was lost and could no-longer locate her village. But she was still being called, so she obeyed until she arrived where the voice told her she should be: A clearing, with a small cave enterance nearby and not mush shelter unles she wanted to sleep under one of the rather uncomfortable looking trees.

It had started snowing again, so she scrambled into the shelter of the cave. It was still cold, so she went in deeper, through darkness and something like a maze. She stepped through another doorway into darkness again, and felt a cold breeze. There was a small flash of light, and as she opened her mouth to scream she felt something hook it's arm around her back and pull her forward and towards what she had seen.

It was two huge eyes with red irises, and large set of jaws that then clamped down on her neck that she had seen.

"Have you danced with the devil in pale moonlight?"

Sarah heard laughter, echoing all around her before her head started spinning. Spinning so hard that she could stay upright and passed out as the beast slung her over his shoulder and started striding into the middle of the catacombs that was his home, and the place where he would gain his first of many wives.

He is a Bacchae.
----------------------------------------------------------
The setting of this RPG is the growing village Horkia on the planet Kamjia, a happy place which is surrounded on all sides by a huge forest with such a dense canopy that very little rain, snow or light made it to the ground.

The forest covers the whole planet apart from the village, and because it is such a happy place they have no weapons and they have no tech to help them. So when people, mostly young girls who are ready to marry, start disappearing, people were both shocked and scared. Evil surrounds the whole place, and every day it grows stronger. If you go off into the forest to fight it, then it will claim you. Do nothing, and it will take you anyway.

Food is short, and there isn't much livestock left.

Rules

1) No controlling the beast and who it attacks. I'm the one doing that.

2) You have no weapons, magic, tech, NOTHING. This means you can't have any borgs or have a character going around committing arson/flying without wings/whatever.

3) No immortals, ghosts, werewolves, vampires, imps, nothing like that. Your either a norn, ettin or grendel, unless your character's been bitten.

4)If you enter the forest, or go too near without anybody else with you, then your character will either be really brave and enter the forest to try and save somebody, will hear somebody of the opposite gender calling their name and asking them to come help them, or will find that their rather tired and will settle down to fall asleep. This will be the creatures trying to lure you into a place where you are completely at the evil beasts mercy, and I’ll be choosing what affects your characters, ‘kay?

Character bio's are set out like this:

How long can you survive before you hear the call of the Bacchae, saying your name and asking you to follow it?

[Nasari]

The Bacchae strolled deeper into the cave, carrying the female, unil he reached his bedchambers. It appeared that this creature had found the cave unsuitable for living, so he made a few homely touches. The room was dome shaped, having hewn it into that form with his own claws over many decades. Bacchae had long lifespans with patience to match, so he was more than happy to do it.

He placed the girl gently onto his extravagant bed and lit several candles around the room. Then he decided it was time for her to wake up. So he began to sing the song that would wake her.

"Have you danced with the devil beneath the pale moonlight,
Seen how he laughs at your pain?
Now I take you away from that miserable life,
Never to suffer again."

((The melody of the song made by me))

Sarah slowly woke up, murmering the song that now echoed through the whole place. She sat up sharply, looked at him for two seconds before she screamed and scrambled backwards. She eyes had started turning red, and a pair of fangs had started to develope. All that was needed now was for her to drink this Bacchae's blood, and she would become one of his kind, unable to change back.

Back at the village, a young magma norn was watching the males and thinking about how cute they were. She wandered over to the edge of the forest, and started at it. She could feel an adventure waiting for her to simply go and see what treasures lay inside the dense forest. She entered, humming as she went.

[Nasari]

"Ah, my young bride-to-be awakens. Do not fear me, for I shall not cause you further harm. It has saddened me deeply to have harmed you already."

He sat on the edge of the bed. To his surprise, a small white kitten came out from under the bed and jumped into his lap.

"Ah, there you are." he chuckled. He scratched the cat on the head gently.

"My newest addition to my pet's family. She is to be yours."

He picked the cat up and placed her next to Sarah.

"As of yet, she has no name. That is up to you."

He stood up, brushed the cat hair off his blood-red Japanese kimono, and turned to face her again.

"We will be having dinner in forty-five minutes. My servant Hana will be here shortly. By the way... I never told you my name. I am Burakkutora. Burakku is fine."

((Burakkutora means "Black Tiger" in Japanese. And you can control Hana if you want to.))

Sarah slowly crawled forwards to have a closer look at the small kitten, and stared at her eyes.

"I name thee....Hoshi."

She hugged the little kitten close to her. Hoshi's blue eyes had made her love her and she would rather kill something then let this dear thing come to harm. She then realised this was how Burakku saw her: a delicate being who he now sheltered.

She looked at the clothes that had now laid themselves out on the pillowcases. She put the kitten down and smiled before she picked them up and looked at the dress in amazement.

It was red silk, and fitted her perfectly. She tried it on and it flattered her figure and made her feel like brushing her hair. She watched Hoshi playing with her tail and laughed. She felt light-headed and knew she'd never age as long as she stayed with Burakku and was faithful to him. She felt honoured to have been picked to become his wife.

"Hana, are you in there?"

Burakku had walked to his servant and her husband's quarters. Long ago, before they became his servants, they were slaves. Beaten, mistreated, and often starved, they were prohibited to say that they loved each other, or even look at each other in a loving way. Burakku had sneaked in and helped them escape, and gave them a special private wedding ceremony.

"Yes, master, I am here." a voice came from behind the door.

"Hana, you know I do not like for you to call me Master. I do not want you to fear me." Burakku lightly scolded.

"You have a new lady of the house. You are to go to my chambers and help her get ready, and show her to the dining room. Her name is Sarah, and you will address her as such. There is no need for honorifics. Oh, and dinner tonight is chicken."

"Yes, sir." a young female Magma Norn came out of the room, and headed to her lord's chambers.
