STORY
The Maw arrives every year. Always at the same time, but never in the same place, it creeps and crawls and buries its claws deep beneath the glistening water. And there it sits in vast silence. Waiting.
Soon after, they start to arrive. The guests. The monstrous, sweating, hungry guests. All seams bursting, bodies bulging, eyes dead with boredom. They shuffle up the gangway and into the mouth of The Maw. And then they are no more.
For none of those that enter have ever returned to tell the tale. At least, not yet...You are in The Maw. Whether you are a small child or an atrocious monster, you are stuck here. Possibly forever. All the little ones can do is try to survive, and remain hidden. All the abominations can do are wander the depths of The Maw, capturing small critters or doing their "job".
RULES
#1 - No godmode. The Maw is a very dangerous environment, and nobody is safe. Not even the monsters... #2 - Do not kill off another character without permission. Death isn't exactly uncommon here, but don't kill somebody's character unless the creator says it's allowed. #3 - Follow all forum rules. #4 - Do not be rude to other roleplayers. #5 - Some monsters can have a change of heart and be friendly towards the children, but beware, the others could not be too happy about this... #6 - Be careful. Some crafty children could seriously injure a monster.
these rules are subject to change. KNOWLEDGE RESOURCE
It's kind of hard to explain it all here, but if anything about this confuses you, I highly recommend checking out the Little Nightmares Wiki. If you have any ideas to improve this RP, please tell me

Characters
Form (optional, you can use your own format if you choose. This just makes things easier):
Screenname: Name: Species(monster/child): Physical Description: Personality: Key items (nothing too crazy, please): Other:
Character list:
Screenname: Sour Candy Name: Voi Species: Child Physical Description: Voi wears a worn grey hoodie with a paper-like substance wrapped around his waist to cover his legs, somewhat like a skirt. His skin is pale, and though his hair is black others rarely see it due to his hood being up most of the time. Personality: Voi is rather brave for someone so small. He will venture out into the deeper parts of The Maw in search for supplies, but remains cautious as he does so. When he's not searching for food or other things of interest, he will hide within the walls and vents of the maw with the other escaped children, usually running a small "shop" of sorts with his friend Cark. He will attempt to sell food and other objects in exchange for shiny things, usually shards of glass. Key items: Voi holds a makeshift "grappling hook"; a long string with a shard of metal attached to the end. He uses this hook to scale large objects and pull items down from a distance. Other:
Screenname: Sour Candy Name: Cark Species: Nome Physical Description: Cark looks like any other nome that could be found in The Maw, but Voi had drawn on a smiley face with two lines for eyes and a curve for a smile on his head. Personality: Cark likes to follow Voi around, but seems to listen when he tells him to stay put or run somewhere. Other than that, he's like any other nome: skittish and wary of others. Key items: None. Other: He is very fond of his new "face".
Screenname: QueenBeast Name: Nyla Smith Species(monster/child): child Physical Description: Nyla is a scrawny looking girl with pale white skin. Though she can't beat anyone in a physical fight, she can surely outrun them. And that's what she does. Or she at least has to outrun another child. Due to her being pretty small, it's easy to hide in small spaces. Where the monster's large disgusting hands can't reach her. She has short silver colored hair with bangs that somewhat cover her eyes. She has greyish-blue mature looking eyes, that look very intimidating to most other children. Though her face usually doesn't show due to her always wearing a black hoodie covering her body. Personality: Nyla is a very independent little girl who doesn't take any kind of bs from anyone. She's usually very serious and will leave you if there are monsters around. Though, if she gets close to you, she has a kind heart and will help you out. She had a twin sister, but sadly one of the monsters got her and she never saw her twin again. Key items (nothing too crazy, please): A somewhat large, sharp boomerang that helps her distracts her enemies, or even harm them a little. Other: hi

(Open!)
Voi quietly sat in a corner in one of the many abandoned rooms of The Maw. In front of him was a small table, with an array of objects resting on top. There was a small piece of bread, a matchstick that barely fit on the table, and some scraps of fabric. His friend Cark wandered around nearby, occasionally stopping to look around the area.

oops I didn't see that ^^')
Nyla was wandering around silently on some long boards of wood near the ceiling of a room. She looked down to see one of the disgusting monsters wandering around right under her. She made a face at it is disgust. Though she has been living here for a while, the things still grossed her out and gave her the creeps. Nyla crept out of that room and continued on. She heard a little commotion in one room and snuck into it, only to see another child and a nome nearby. She tilted her curiously and went to move forward a little when her foot accidentally kicked a small box off of the boards and it landed on the floor with a somewhat loud thump. She help her breath and bent down, hoping they didn't discover her. The only problem was that her boomerang was sticking out slightly.

Cark jumped a bit at the sudden object falling to the floor. He ran and hid behind Voi, who looked up at the ceiling in curiosity. He pointed at the ground to tell Cark to stay, and then he walked over to the middle of the room. He tilted his head back more to look at the ceiling and saw something sticking out. Assuming it was something he could scavenge and sell to other children, he took out his grappling hook, spun it around a few times and threw it up towards the boards. After the hook caught onto the board, he tugged on the string a few times to make sure it was secure before beginning his climb upwards.
(Sorry for the late reply!)

it's fine :3)
Nyla jumped slightly as she saw a hook catch on the board she was standing on, and it was right next to her. She didn't know if they had tried to catch her so she stayed still. Listening. She didn't hear anything so she dared to peek down at what had thrown the hook, only to be greeted by a face. Another child's face. Her blueish-grey eyes widened in surprise and she jumped back away from the child. She grabbed her boomerang as is daring the other child to do something.

Voi jumped a bit in surprise before carefully climbing the rest of the way up onto the board. He looked at the other child curiously, tilting his head to the side, with his soot black hair sticking out a little from his hood. He slowly waved in greeting, not feeling like speaking at the moment. Cark looked up from below, watching the interaction.

Nyla slowly relaxed and let go of her boomerang. She still had a piercing, intimidating stare on him. But she slowly waved back at the other child. She had never seen this child before. Yet again she usually didn't pay attention to any of the other children. "W-who are you?" she said in a low voice, trying to be quiet enough so no monsters heard her, hopefully.

Voi hesitated before speaking. "My name is Voi," he said in a quiet tone. He wasn't used to having normal conversations. Usually the only times he spoke was to negotiate a price on his "goods", or to tell Cark something.

hey :3)
Nyla straightened up after the child introduced himself. "I'm Nyla" she said as she kept an eye on the other child. She then looked down from the board she was standing on to look over at the nome that was looking up at then. She tilted her head slightly, curious to why it just stayed there. Just then her stomach growled slightly and she didn't look at either of them, too embarrassed. She hadn't eaten in a couple of days. The monsters had taken a liking to her since she always got away, so a lot of them were trying to hunt her down all the time, she never had the time to eat.

Voi had an idea. He motioned Nyla to follow him as he climbed back down his grappling hook and ran over to his table. He motioned towards a small piece of bread, while his friend Cark held up a container of small glass pieces, trying to show what they accepted as currency.

Nyla hesitantly followed after Voi down the grappling hook. She looked at the small piece of bread and put a hand to her stomach as it started to ache from hunger. She looked at the two of them with a suspicious look on her face before looking over at the nome as it showed her the container of small glass shards. She tilted her head. Who would carry glass around with you? She put a index finger up, telling them to wait a second. She exited the room and a minute or two later she was out of breath and was holding a piece of glass up to show them as she walked over to them and threw the shard into the container. She had to find a piece of a broken mirror she knew was around the area. The only problem was that a monster lived in that room also, and she had almost been caught.

Cark bounced in happiness, rattling the glass around in the container. He ran back towards Voi, who passed the piece of bread to Nyla. Cark handed him the box of glass, and in turn Voi put it on the table to inspect its contents. Shards of glass of varying sizes gleamed inside from the dim light.

Nyla grabbed the bread from Voi's hands and quickly ate it. The aching in her stomach stopped and she felt a little better now. "thanks..." she said as she looked at the two of them. She watched the boy look at the container of glass. Still not so sure why he was so fond of the broken shards of glass. All she could see is it being a weapon to defend herself. That's all. She climbed up on the table and sat down on it near the container and the boy. She tilted her head curiously "why do you collect glass?" she asked him.

Voi looked up at her question. "It's nice to look at." He picked up the piece Nyla had gave him and looked through it. He was mesmerized by the gleam of the glass, how the light shined through it. Cark walked up beside him and looked up at the shard as well, though he seemed less interested.

Nyla looked at the shard he was holding up. All she saw was something that glinted light into your eyes. She squinted her eyes as the reflection of light went into her eyes. She frowned slightly. She didn't see the meaning in it. But it looked like this boy really liked it. People liked different things. Even if it were very odd to others. Nyla looked over at the nome "so who's this?" she asked, wondering if it had a name or not.

Post by The Noble Dragon on Jun 7, 2017 14:15:16 GMT -5
Screenname: The Noble Dragon Name: Sar Species(monster/child): Child Physical Description: A small, scarred child with dark skin and light blue eyes. They have scars covering their arms and legs, showing that they have been trapped in the Maw for a long time and have had many brushes with the monsters that live inside. They don't speak, maybe they have forgotten how to or maybe they don't want to, but they point and find other ways to get their message across. Personality: Selfless. It's a miracle Sar has survived this long in the Maw given how many times they put themselves between the monsters and another child. perhaps it's dumb luck or something else. Sar is always willing to help another in need, but is wary of spending too much time with anyone. When with others they aren't very animated and always seem on edge, listening and watching everything and everyone. If alone and facing a monster they are not brave and will run as fast and far as they can to get away. Key items (nothing too crazy, please): A small bag they usually keep bread or other food inside to share with Nomes or Children they find. Other:
Screenname: The Noble Dragon Name: Petter Species(monster/child): Monster Physical Description: A tall, thin figure that is cloaked in a green robe that covers his face and body. The only part he ever shows are his hands, which are long and pale and disfigured with long black nails that end in sharp points. Personality: He loves to laugh, which isn't a good thing because he has a very terrifying laugh. Mischievous. Key items (nothing too crazy, please): A flute that when played properly will entice young children to come near Other: To escape his tantalizing music just cover your ears before it's too late.
