(Dark Fantasy/Lovecraftian Horror) Hellhound stole my lunch.

Welcome to London. A large, grand, rather dirty city. Home of such things as The Tower, Big Ben, London Bridge...and legions of monsters.

You see, in this world, for quite some decades, the world has played host to the creatures, bestial things that should not exist. They come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from a nuisance to a serious threat to a person's life. Many do not follow the same laws as ordinary creatures, and life can depend on people knowing what might defeat or repel them..but no matter how many times the authorities have attempted to wipe the things out...they've continued to return.

Eventually, people just began to adapt to a world with monsters. They hung wards and charms on the windows, had pumps installed to create streams of running water across their property boundaries, and most people took a silver item out with them to repel unwanted things, especially after dark.

However, in this already dark world, things have begun to get considerably worse. People have been disappearing, and murders have been committed with a worrying professionalism not befitting the beasts. The metropolitan police have been dragging their feet to the point that it seems suspicious, and many bodies were 'lost' on their way from the morgue.

Some are beginning to suspect an organization might be responsible...but they do not know why...and the truth is far more disturbing than most could have hoped. They are the work of a cult, dedicated to the service of a being of terrible knowledge and power, that exists beyond the possible understanding of most mortals. Something that would make the monsters seem like insects.

The story begins with several people, normals folks from all walks of society who have lost a friend or relative to the recent occurrences, and plan to investigate. From there, they could band together, or go it alone...but either way it's certain that they'll be watched. The entity has eyes and ears everywhere, and nothing is what it seems as a shadow falls over London.

Inspired by the works of HP Lovecraft, and the novel 'The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray', this RP will be a dark fantasy,with elements of mystery, horror, and of course the interactions between the characters. I already have someone who'll be taking the role of our malevolent entity from beyond the universe, and I have a role set out that somewhat ties in with that.

We need our protagonists, regular people who'd happened to have grown up in a world populated by horrible, potentially dangerous creatures.

I think that covers most things. I'm happy to answer any questions about it, or any proposals about other roles. The plot is still in development stages, so is open to change.
