PAX LETALE: GODS REBORN
In Southern California, there recently opened a new luxury apartment building. Impeccably designed, impossibly convenient, ideally located, Pax Letale is the sort of residential Shangri La where Southern Californians spend all manner of favors and years trying to secure a spot. But Pax doesn't have a waiting list, nor can a place there be bought or sold. The people who find their way to Pax Letale belong there.
Every tenant of Pax is a reincarnated deity whose worshipers are by and large long dead. Once very real, these gods began to fade as science and reason dispelled the probability of their existence. Reborn as mortals, their essences remain, waiting to be awakened. Somehow, sometimes one by one, sometimes in groups or pairs, these creatures of destiny have discovered Pax, and have not been able to resist its pull.
For at Pax Letale, the awakening has begun. As these gods rediscover themselves and each other, the seemingly invisible but ubiquitous management tracks each of them quite closely, and the very building itself seems to have an agenda of its own. And as the gods made humans in their own image - or humans made them in theirs - so will the the behavior of the people of Pax turn as dark as their myths. Blood, strife, sex, petty plots, torture - even murder will wind their ways into Pax Letale.
A lovely place. A peculiar place. A dangerous place.
Available Tenants:Enki is the Babylonian god of water, crafts, intelligence and creation. Twin of and best friend of Ereshkigal, goddess of the Underworld, he is often seen as a positive foil to his brother Enlil, utilizing his magic and cunning for the good of others; he brings aid to deities and humans alike, serving as a rare masculine nuturer in a chaotic and often oppressively patriarchal pantheon. He will likely have connections to Tiamat, Ereshkigal, and other Sumero-Babylonian deities. Brighid is the Celtic goddess of the forge, inspiration, compassion and creativity, and a patron goddess of artists, craftsmen, and other creative types. In her mortal life, she may have connections to her parents, her siblings, or any of the Celtic pantheon. Masauwu is a Hopi deity sometimes called the Skeleton Man, Keeper of Fire, Spirit of Death, and the Master of the Fourth (present) World. He is depicted as a dark-skinned man wearing a mask; sometimes the creature beneath this mask is described as handsome, sometimes as a disfigured monster. Connections to Native American deities and gods and goddesses of death or enlightenment are likely. ADDITIONAL AVAILABLE TENANTSDon't see a tenant that interests you?

Los Angeles
What does the name mean to you? The City of Angels is all about the dream: every night thousands lay their heads down to sleep and surrender their souls to the mercy of these streets. Some of them dream of bohemian ecstasy; they're artists, freaks, and geeks who find sanctuary in the exclusive communities. Some want their moment in the sun, seeking fame and fortune on the Platinum Triangle. Others have come for the safety to simply be as they are, to choose their own path whether it be down a back alley or a trim boulevard.
Yet others have come to drink up the nightmares of these sleeping citizens and snuff out every light that still burns in the dark.
They know the true secret of L. A., the pretty city on the beach. Its dreamers are not all human, some not even human-like, and they too have come to scratch out an existence here. Many are content to blend into human society, but many more are not. They live to destroy everything humans are made of, to subjugate them and consume their souls. These monsters have attracted powerful enemies from above who will lay down their lives for both Man and God. They are drawing battle lines down the very streets, and all who live here will choose a side... or none will survive.
Join us to visit the City of Angels, the city of dreams and nightmares, and watch fate slowly unveiling.
"The final story, the final chapter of western man, I believe, lies in Los Angeles."
— Phil Ochs

Welcome to the Lennox House for the Mentally Insane. Your stay here will not be pleasant. Few of the doctors care about your well-being, most have their own agenda and little is actually done toward your mental rehabilitation but heavy administration of sedative drugs that tend to cause hallucination. Those who are particularly belligerent or known to cause trouble are given electric shock therapy. The lucky ones are given long stints in solitary confinement. Some patients regard the lobotomies as their only hope for salvation. These are the ones who are particularly favored by the Asylum's more sadistic employees.
Where do you fit in with all of the madness? Were you taken here against your own will or have you committed yourself? Or are you one of the doctor's hellbent on satisfying your own needs by taking out your frustrations on as many damned souls as possible? Maybe you're one of the few trying to help those who are hospitalized. Maybe your a patient determined to escape. Maybe you really are crazy- either way, it may not take long behind these walls before your own sanity comes into question... or maybe those strange supernatural events that have been occurring are real after... you'll soon find yourself asking; "Is it all in my head?"
The Lennox House RP is a PanFandomRPG, taking place in the 1950s and is loosely based on the movie "Sucker Punch."
