Explanation
The basis of this roleplay is simple.
It is a mixture of Dungeons & Dragons, Choose Your Own Adventure, and basic roleplaying.
I will use D&D dice to decide your fate, damage dealt, etc., and your characters will have a health bar, so to speak.
You can choose what to do next -- to explore, to talk, to fight, but it will be up to YOU to decide what to do. You will not have pre-selected choices to choose from, similar to... well... roleplay.
You will roleplay out your character or characters, interacting with anyone else that chooses to join this. You may make friends with them, enemies, or whatever you want. The choice is yours.
The twist?
My characters.
They will not be like everyone else's. They are, what I consider, CPUs. I will decide what they do, and they can give you the answer to escape, or make sure that you are stuck here forever.
There will be a "karma" system, so to speak, with the characters that I control.
Insult one? Great. He's on your bad side, which will affect what his allies and enemies think of you.
Find the right people. Befriend those people. And hope that you can beat the odds, and survive the night.
Can you unlock the story? Figure out the answer to the unanswered questions? Know the mystery that surrounds the Shadow Realm?
Your Character's Knowledge
Upon entering the Shadow Realm, your character will have limited knowledge of what is going on. They will know of any friendships beforehand, and the reason for them entering the Shadow Realm, which will probably be because they are not "human" (I'm talking vampires, werewolves, etc. are accepted), or because they were part of the rebellion in Mors Ubre to overthrow Master.
Basically, the world these characters come from isn't the best. Most of them are probably from Mors Ubre, which is a city that lives under the mysterious ruler simply known as "Master." He is always seen with a cloak that hides his face, so no one knows his true identity. Maybe you will be the one to finally figure it out?
The city is split into three parts: Patriae, where the rich are from. Venere, which is middle-class. And Aestuo, which is the lower-class, and where most of the rebellion takes place. The other two rings of the city tend to listen to whatever Master says so chances are, your character will be from Aestuo.
The final thing about their world is Master's "hunters." There were four of them in total, but one went crazy and tried to kill Master. Rumor has it that she was banished here, to the Shadow Realm, to perish. Her partner mysteriously disappeared shortly after. And then, there are Zero and Ava and yes, your character would know them by name. They are considered the deadliest people in the city. Nothing seems to phase them, and one person even claims to have watched Zero walk through fire, his flesh burning, and he didn't even seem to notice.
The other rumor: The Shadow Realm's creation. It is said that the place was originally founded as a prison for one single guy, the rebellion's best tool, but no one knows his name or who he really was, or if he even exists. It is said that he went crazy from never being able to escape.... But again, that's just a rumor, right?
There is much more to learn, to build on, to find. People to meet. Some of my character's names may overlap with your character's names, and I apologize for that.
I will keep a list below of what the players know, for future reference.

The Realm's Appearance
The Shadow Realm, being a... well... separate realm, looks a little different than our world. Basically, it is a huge forest, with a lake and a river that cuts through the center. There is also a meadow in the middle of the woods.
The interesting thing about the Realm is that when the sun goes down, no moon or stars come out. The sky is pitch black and typically, you wouldn't be able to see a thing, except that the trees take on a silver glow at night that seem to calm the place. Any fights that were taking place will stop and no murders will happen when the trees are glowing.
