Shadow Over Basingsport

""''A cult for the elder gods has warped reality, dimensions blending and ripped apart-some have ended up in an empty city, with empty souls and fog-laden streets. What is Basingsport? Could their foul rituals have been answered?""

A brand-spanking new forum-based Roleplaying Game heavily inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos and also Silent Hill and The World of Darkness, run by a couple. The premise is that a cult wanted to become a part of their god so they used a ritual to do so-it backfired. Now people from different worlds are brought to a city apparently in New England, some bringing their homes with them.

They aren't the only things there- faceless 'people' that seem to neither be alive or dead are there... and possibly others.

So far, mostly the cast consists of a lot of young teenagers, the oldest of those having spent about half of her life in an insane asylum. The adults are Death of the Endless, Xanatos and a light-based mage from League of Legends. Oh and the cult.

Some unique features include The Corruption mechanic-go far enough, the character will become unplayable. Another is how abilities can be leveled.


 * Action Girl: Most of them.
 * Age-Appropriate Angst: Averted, hard.
 * Alternate Timeline: Danny Phantom escaped one. Him and Valerie are trying to make one. Trying not to cancel out Dani is an issue.
 * The Artful Dodger: Jana Snitch and Dani-for tragic reasons.
 * Badass Normal: Xanatos. Need I say more?
 * The Bartender: He's a voiceless faceless mook with every beverage imaginable available.
 * Battle Couple: Valerie and Danny are an example. Robin and Sophia are not.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: Sophia is a Shrinking Violet who is empathic... and a living Emotion Bomb.
 * Big Eater: Dani, if canon is anything to go by.
 * Black Magician Girl: In spite of being a light-based mage, Luxanna's powers are offensive and her cute demeanor and being an excellent tactician make her this trope zigzagged.
 * Cloning Blues: Dani meets a Danny from before she was made.
 * Creepy Child: Two players can opt for one. It's the only way to have one with a dash of Horror Hunger.
 * Dare to Be Badass:.
 * Defector From Decadence: Sophia and Dani, pretty much. Sophia's a regular princess while Dani is a deconstruction of a Mafia Princess.
 * Disappeared Dad: Tends to be common-Jana never knew hers, the less said about Dani's "father" the better, Robin's, Sophia's... Dysfunction Junction, anyone?
 * Eldritch Abomination: The creation of Basingsport has something to do with one-how much is just the cult's Epic Fail is currently unknown.
 * Emotion Eater/Emotion Bomb: Sophia.
 * Expy: Sophia is one for a Canon Defilement version of Psyche-one based on a particular kind of character defilement.
 * Fair Folk: Robin and Sophia of the classic kind. They're nice, though.
 * Fish Out of Temporal Water: Boy are they ever.
 * God Is Evil: Well, what seems like one, anyway. Near enough as nevermind.
 * Gone Horribly Wrong: Possibly.
 * Half-Human Hybrid: Sophia, sort of. Her mom was, anyway.
 * Infant Immortality: Uh, no.
 * Our Souls Are Different: Seemingly. The little note on pregnancy is absolutely Nightmare Fuel. You monster... try not to think too hard about what happens to that 'empty'.
 * Perky Goth: Death, who is the Ur Example.
 * Lovecraft Country: Ooooh, yeah.
 * Raised by Grandparents: Unfortunately, Sophia's grandmother was not a nice person.
 * Royally Screwed-Up: Sophia's family with the exemption of her mother. Luckily it's not In the Blood.
 * Shout-Out: To Lovecraft (Duh), The World of Darkness, Silent Hill and Gunnerkrigg Court. On the other hand... Oh Crap.
 * Strange Girl: You'd be strange too if you were an Empath who spent half her life among the insane...
 * Squishy Wizard: Sophia and Robin. They've got magic but both have been locked in an insane asylum for years, hence their physical states are not so good.
 * Teenage Wasteland: A shocking amount of people torn away from their hands are very young-and many of them abandoned or orphaned.
 * Timey-Wimey Ball: Danny, Valerie and Dani are all from various points in their canon-Danny during their Wham! Episode, Valerie after her break up with Danny and Dani is post-series. They figure time travel, but is it?
