RP Information

This is the forum for the drawn and written Roleplay group Streitstadt. We are active here, Discord, and Drawpile.

The roleplay is invite only.



You will need to register to post. Posting images will require an image host. Imgur, pinterest, and Tumblr seem to be fairly reliable. When posting images, make sure to use links that end with image file-types (.jpg, .png, .gif, ect).

There are also a number of other cool things you can add to your posts! (More About Proboards Forum Features!)


Talk to Mods if you need help!

• Choose what species you would like to make read their relevant page (Creature list)
  

• Make sure your OC's backstory fits the setting info here & RP timeline. 
  

• Make sure your OC's visual design fits the time period (1900+-). Old things (a vampire dressed in 1500s suit) can work, but please avoid modern fashions (no cyberpunk townsfolk). (Fashion Inspiration) 
  

• Make sure your OC's abilities follow the RP's power rules. This group does not allow prodigy characters. (Power Info) 

Set in 1920s, the RP centers on the isolated, inescapable Germanic town of Streitstadt & an ongoing supernatural war between the vampires of Villa Baccanale & the Priesthood of the Church of St John the Much-Suffering. Caught between are townsfolk, travelers, & monsters drawn to & subsequently trapped in the cursed area. The town itself is set back about 20 years thanks to it's isolated nature, though outsiders can bring cultural & technical advancements.

Conflict: Vampires vs Church

Streitstadt's main conflict stems from the Clergy's fight against the Vampires of Villa Baccanalei, as well as other man-eating creatures.

Not all characters must be aligned with their associated faction (ie: all vampires don't have to align with Villa Baccanale). However, even unaligned characters will find it difficult to ally with a faction opposing their kind, and likely won't be welcome by their natural enemies without out-of-character planning. Do not plan for your monster to be welcome by the clergy, even if they are really nice, and vice versa.

Vampires: Led by Asher Braydon

• The top threat to the humans of Streitstadt are the vampires of Villa Baccanale mansion . The group is organized, bloodthirsty, unrepentant, and keeps hypnotized humans as livestock slaves.
• Asher will ignore lone vampires that do not join his nest, but will routinely wipe out rival vampire groups that threaten to grow too large or powerful.

Clergy: Led by Clark Ballard

• The Clergy of Streitstadt has protected the town for centuries. Recently, the majority of the church's forces were wipes out by an attack by the Villa vampires. Most of the current clergy are newly arrived.
• Some (but not all) members of the Clergy of Streitstadt have trained to fight monsters their entire lives. Think Hellsing. (More about the Clergy)
• Outside of Streitstadt, The Clergy and the headquarters of the church do everything in their power to keep people from knowing about supernatural happenings and the town of Strietstadt itself. They sometimes send in willing Clergy and Hunters to go into town to help those in need.

Conflict: Magical Prison

Streitstadt carries an ancient curse that attracts magic & makes the area inescapable. Without exception, once in range of the curse, none can leave. This has caused a high concentration of magic & magical beings in and around Streitstadt. 

The curse is roughly 1,000 years old. Initially weak, it held tightest to those with powerful magic. Growing stronger with each new captive, at the present it is essentially impossible for anyone to escape, even those with weak magic.

Conflict: Magic & Outsiders

Although supernatural beings exist out of town, the existence of supernatural is not known outside of Streit. It is often dismissed as stories or fairy tales.

While magic exist throughout the world, it is not as concentrated as in Streitstadt. To outsiders, the existence of magic & monsters may not be common knowledge or even believed, although some, particularly hunters and the clergy, may have prior knowledge & experience.

The area's strange attributes may also heighten latent powers in newcomers. Perfectly normal people may discover strange new powers.



The RP group is made up of many members from the defunct drawing forum Tegaki, specifically Team Fortress2 RP (TF2RP), an RP based on Valve's first person shooter, and Step City (SC), an RP set in an original magical dance/fight setting. Many Streitstatd characters originate from those groups, and will sometimes get referenced in chat. You don't need to know about the history of those RPs to participate in Streitstadt, and if you feel lost, don't worry.

Feel free to ask questions!
