Professor Rice of Miskatonic University, after his ordeal in Dunwitch, busily prepared for his new trip. It was to Greenland. He was going with Armitage and Wilmarth. A few strange fellows who look like merchants from the ancient Middle East are also going along. They then went off looking for people to join their expedition. The reason for this sudden trip was a strange relic found being worshiped by "blood thirsty Norwegians" and "other nautical folk." The idol was of a octopus-headed, winged creature known as, with any coherency, "Cthulhu."

As you see, this RP is obvious. Anyone who did not see this coming from the very start you have not read much Lovecraft. If you start this without any knowledge of Lovecraft, then you might be better off in another game. If you have, good.

You create a character with this format:

Name:
Gender:
Age:
Appearance(How you look):
Clothes(this is not armor):
Inventory(0-10 objects of small size):
Background(What does your character do for a living?)

An example would be this:

Name: Jason A. Gillman
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Appearance: His face already has the Innsmouth look, so a description would be strange to add when he has proceed into this stage of his transformation.
Clothes: black trencoat, striped overalls, and green under shirt. His shoes are black boots.
Inventory: knife, rope, Innsmouth amulet, revolver, 30 rounds.
Background: He is, as said before, from Innsmouth. It is a coastal town that has fallen into a state of disrepair and degradation were everyone is becoming sea monsters that look like a combination between a man, a fish, and a frog. He worked in the fishery until he left for this expedition.

Some rules:

1. This takes place in the early 1930s, so no mobile phones or things from a time further than that.
2. No giving yourselves over-powered things that kill everything.
3. No making other players feel left out or not good. That is something that I want to avoid.
4. No more than one post for what a character does.
5. If you fall unconscious or go insane, you will be revived in a hospital/asylum in Arkham. You can go back to Greenland by going to the docks in Kingsport and requesting for a ship to Greenland.
6. You post your Character in a Thread labeled "Miskatonic Characters"
7. Ammo counts as one tenth of an object while a thing like a shotgun or "Tommy Gun" counts as two. When a shot his fired, it uses ammunition, and without, a gun is useless.
8. You can use an image for appearance.

Have fun!

Arkham: The location of Miskatonic University.
