OK, as you all know I have been searching for a game that my group (entire) would get excited about and want to jump aboard, head on. Well, I've found it, the newest Series I've created is called Destiny's Calling (a Spin off of Ravenwood High and The Ravenwood Chronicles) and it has been a blast! I've dropped several hints on my other topics and promised I would post it when it officially started. Tonight was the night. Without Further ado, here's the brief run down and the Cast of the Series.
Setting: The series takes place in the fictional town of Ravenwood, Massachusetts. A town, I created with several inspirations in mind, (TV Series) Dark Shadows, Covenant, Charmed, Buffy and Angel, Hex and last but not least Supernatural. The Universal Monsters and many, many more. The website (Under Construction) can be found here: http://www.freewebs.com/theravenwoodchronicles/ . The Cast go to the University of Massachusetts--Ravenwood. Many strange things happen here but the "rational" mindset is blamed, for example; vampires, ghosts and ghouls don't exist. If you take a gander over to the above listed link, you'll see a site dedicated to the Series and you'll get some detailed history of the New England city.
Concept: Other Hellmouths, a Gathering of Goonies (Scoobies in Buffy) and a Slayer less Series (For Now). Each player has created a Cast Member using the White-Hat Character Type with no access to any powers, what so ever. The idea is to show the players that it doesn't take super powers to defeat the Forces of Darkness. As the series progresses, they will see the introduction of "Special Abilities" in their Characters. This has been an idea for me to allow the players Powers according to what I see them demonstrating (Fate or like the title states, Destiny). To my surprise, the group has agreed that this has the possibilty to be an awesome series. The other thing that the Cast has no idea about is that the Supernatural exist and as the series moves forward they will come to turns that Supernaturals are real. Although, the Cast grew up in Ravenwood and heard all kinds of Urban Legends and Ghost stories, they still think its not real.
Cast: The Cast or characters have their own story and backgrounds and are made up of several friends that grew up in Ravenwood together but drifted apart only to re-kindle their friendships upon their return to school, well, to college.
Angelica Cassius (Played by Drew Barrymore)-- She is the daughter of a 4-star General and is your basic Military brat. She has had training in martial arts and is very attractive. She attends the University of Massachusetts--Ravenwood with her masters being Psychology. She also tends show a bit of a rebellious streak and is quite the flirt.
Marc Grayson (Played by Kyle Schmid)-- Marc has always had an high I.Q. so it was natural for him to excel at school, he spends most of his time studying and tinkering with his computers. He is an avid racer and loves to take on foreign made cars (Dislike of Foreign made cars). He uses the races as his main source of income, when he's not fixing other student's computers. He's constantly working on a new form of nitrous for racing. For a nerd he's quite popular.
Benjamin Frost (Played by Kevin Zegers)-- The Frost family has been a prominent family in Ravenwood for generations. Wealth and privilege are a way of life. Old money its called. The Frost family have their hands in lots of businesses throughout the city. Some are well known, some are not. Benjamin is an intelligent 20 year kid whose trying to figure out who he is. He's seen both sides of money; the good and the bad. He's trying to keep his soul in a world that easily corrupts those of privilege. He has a younger sister, Kaylee (16) and a younger brother, Matthew (10). He is at odds with his two cousins (Daniel and Emily), both of who are a little older and who have succumbed to power of money.
Eric Raven (Played by Steven Strait)-- Eric is a source of great controversy and mystery. Rumors and stories abound about him, even as he tries to fit in at College. He often performs at the Hole (a club where you go to dance and listen to cutting-edge music). His major in college is music and while he works on his degree, he is also very involved with the school's lacrosse team (he's the captain). he can often be found at the Hole, his home away from home.
Ethan Crane (Played by Chace Crawford)-- Born in Britian, raised in America. Ethan is the group's occult expert. He studies alot of books and tries his best to de-bunk every supernatural event that takes place in Ravenwood, think of him as the Mulder/ Scully mix with a dash of Ghost Hunters meet Paranormal State thrown in. He often forms theories about the supernatural as he's de-bunking it. His family is very wealthy, his father is the CEO for the Crane Industries corporation. The company has been passed down from generation to generation and Ethan's the next in line to run it, but he prefers not to follow in his father's footsteps.
Well, there is more, but its late and I just saw the time and work comes awfully early....to be continued.
