Hollow Dreams


Introduction

London… A vast world of excitement, mystery, and other tantalizing delights. By day, the hustle and bustle of mortals fill the streets as they go about their unsuspecting lives. By night, the horrors that only come about in nightmares walk the same path. Their paths, as different as day and night, cross with out ever knowing. But, for those that do… May God have mercy upon their souls.

As the bulk of civilization, the creatures of nightmares believe that mortals must not find out about them. If mortals knew the truth about the world around them, the super naturals would surely perish. The creatures work hard to be nothing more than bed time stories, and most mortals are happy that way. Mortals are still considered the underdogs in a dark world, with nothing but the odds against them. They fight a battle that they may not even know they are in.

In a chat environment, many are reluctant to play the underdogs. Many also use them as a stepping stone to "bigger and better things." But, there is also a certain shininess to a mortal who has to fight with the feeling of "Holy shit, a giant thing just appeared in front of me!" When considering a mortal please think about the fact that mortals have virtually no limits placed on them, such as the Masquerade, the Veil, etc. Mortals and be what they want to be, and do as they please, with in the realm of the law.

Please note that mortals usually do not have awareness of the supernatural outside of books and TV shows. Your mortal might believe that ghosts exist, but when a Wraith messes with them, they are not going to have the reaction of "You're REAL!!!" Its going to be more of a scream and run away. THEN they might rationalize later. So, in this chat, mortals do not know what you (as a player) know. They are oblivious to the horrors around them until accepted into the fold.
