Once upon a time, in a land far, far away there were kingdoms of magic and mystery. This world was known as Fableton, a living paralell to the world of mortals who spoke of their stories as if they were just characters in a book. Centuries passed, and Fableton's people were at peace; that was when The Darkness came. Killing everything in its path, The Darkness sought to conquer Fableton and leave no survivors; but wise Mother Goose had different plans.
With the help of King Cole, she cast a spell that would keep her people safe; upon their deaths they were transported to a new realm to live free from the terrors they had faced. No one remembered their lives in Fableton, save for Mother Goose and kind Old King Cole. The Fables entered a cycle of reincarnation, though not all fables lasted through the centuries. It became apparent that as their popularity with the mortals waned, the spell's effect on their longevity died.
For centuries, the dark fables were kept at bay and Mother Goose hoped they were gone for good. Now, they have breached her barrier and have arrived in Newport, ready to start wreaking havoc on the lives of the city's inhabitants.
Horror Story is an ever-evolving alternate universe for original characters. Unwittingly, these characters have been pulled into a place beyond the boundaries of time and space. A shifting dark side or twilight zone that they have no control over and very little - if any - knowledge of. Only a select few will become aware that the rules of this world are being altered, but everyone can feel that something is amiss.
The game works in cycles. Each cycle will have its own setting and major plot arc. All characters will be included, though how involved they become in the main story is up to you. At the end of the cycle the world may shift, but the characters will remain; forced into a new situation, and given the opportunity for a new role.
Cycle four has just begun, and we're taking applications! Come play with us!
