Things That Go Bump in the Night is a game set in a modern gothic
genre.  Players will me members of three alien races resembling
demons of mythology.  These races are caught in a civil war among
their own races, part of which is being waged on Earth.  Players are
either lost children or children of rebels who have hidden themselves
among humans.  The first changes usually occur at the onset of
puberty.  Others are late bloomers and may not change until early
adulthood.  Some may have been raised and taught the ways of their
race by a parent.  Others may be learning the hard way.  Some may
simply have been abandoned.  Others may have been orphaned or left in
the care of a human with or without knowledge of their nature.

Races available as PC�s include 3 different types of demons.  The
Mogradoth are comparable to Pit Fiends and Balrogs with a culture
comparable to Klingons.  The Derahn are all female and similar to
succubae.  They are masters of biotechnology with limited shape
shifting abilities.  The Mak Taurog are a manga-ish humanoid shaped
species with bat-like qualities.  They are masters of hard
technology, shadow and flight.  They are devoted to logic.  They are
a reclusive species and unable to travel in daylight.

The game will likely begin as a campaign of survival as the PC�s
attempt to hide their natures from society, while feeding as they
must upon humans (blood or life force depending on race).  They may
be hunted by members of their own race to be enslaved or recruited in
a war.  The adventures will be GM guided.  Player exploration �
especially as a group � will be encouraged.  There will be rewards
for cooperative efforts among players.  (And it is probably your best
chance for survival as a PC, not being retired to NPC-dom.)

Characters should be submitted as normal humans, with appearance,
career interests, hobbies, demeanors, motivations, and backgrounds.
The more detailed, the better.  The game is set in current times.
Once the normal human is developed, racial templates will be applied.
 The Mogradoth are typically warriors.  The Derahn are typically
medical or social characters.  And the Mak Taurog lean toward hard
science and technology.

Players should be able to post 3 to 5 times a week, with average
lengths of posts not less than a few good paragraphs.  Yahoo IM
capabilities will be useful for JP�s (joint posts).  The game is
rated Mature (strong R), with gothic fantasy elements, horror, adult
language and situations. No children please.  We�ll be fading to
black when things get too gritty.  (Take it to private posts if
that�s your cup of tea.  I can handle it, but will keep it off site
for the comfort of other players.)
