New RPG spamming: The Restless
From the mind that brought you A Dirty Carnival and The Hard Goodbye and the creative team behind Icy Cold City comes the RPG that you didn’t even realise you were waiting for.
The Premise:
Tokyo, 2019; it is a city that never sleeps. Neon lights, fast cars and quick money are the populaces’ way of dealing with the population crisis.
Ten years ago, the rate of child births decreased. Dramatically. Six years ago it stopped completely. Propaganda started, religious groups going up against each other as whispers of the apocalypse travelled far and wide. With no children there was no future…
But now a new horror is terrorizing the night in the form of a masked figure who kills at random. There is no pattern; no common murder weapon and the victims share no apparent ties.
Police and civilians alike call this murderer Yogensha, or the Oracle, as the victims are always mutilated after their deaths. It is the only constant in an ever baffling case. No matter how they were killed, their chests are always carved open, their hearts cut out and the cavity filled with a single tarot card…

Mid Heaven has always been ruled by two; The Justice and The Corruption, beings of light and dark respectively. Their purpose is to guide the souls of the living into either heaven or hell according to their deeds while letting those that remain neutral pass to the Keeper of the Gate of Resurrection.
At least that was always the way until The Corruption took matters into his own hands by laying siege to the Gate of Resurrection. After a bloody battle, the Keeper was murdered and the forces of darkness took control of the gates, preventing anyone from passing. Those of the light retaliated, and the battle to reclaim the gateway to the human realm began.
Now the gleaming haven is at war; what used to represent a city metropolis has turned to a slum where the sky is darkened with clouds and streaks of fire. Buildings crumble, the pavement cracks and wind and rain storms tear across the lands as elemental foot-soldiers collide. Ash falls heavily, cloaking the streets in a bleak grey that sticks to everything.
With the path to resurrection severed, the human souls have been left in limbo, subject to the harshness of the land and the hunger of the beasts of darkness.
However, a small group of rebels who are known as The Lost Souls are out for blood; killing both light and dark in an attempt to be able to govern their own futures and pass over.
Some souls have been stranded there for ten years, neither passing into judgement or rebirth. As time ticks steadily by and the battle grows stronger these human souls are starting to notice a change within themselves, something strange and twisted just like their surrounds...
About Us
We are a brand new RP looking for members. While we opt for a high level of literacy and love long posts, we happily accept roleplayers of all skill levels. Since we are new our claims list is tiny so there are tones of favourite muses still available as well as lots of key plotline roles. Even better, we have an intricate and progressive plot that will satisfy all muses and keep their muns on the edges of their seats.
The Concept
We have taken a lot of inspiration for this RP. If you are familiar with movies such as Gabriel (Australian), The Restless Sword (Korean), Children of Men (USA), I am Legend (without the zombies) Dark City and the 1999 version of Beowulf.
Mix that with some steam punk ideals, a Crow like setting and a classic ‘cop chases evil serial killer’ and you will have this RP.
