OH BOY A MURDER MYSTERY

[feckinboomstick]

Or rather a supernatural murder mystery.

A serial supernatural murder mystery.

Cassian, as some of you may know, is possessed. Specifically, possessed by the old god, Hastur. He's also ageless and immortal, but the only way he can maintain his health is to devour the flesh of a sacrifice. Or a few sacrifices. Specifically, the heart of the sacrifice.

I'm looking to get the murder train rolling here with that!

Cassian will, of course, be committing the murders incognito and... partially without any control of himself. Under the command of Hastur, his form becomes shrouded, and he appears to be a three dimensional shade with massive white eyes.

The bodies will always be mutilated in the same way, with the ribs broken and spread out and the heart removed.

I'm looking to plot with this! It will take place in Everglade, because... well where else would it be. Looking for people to combat the beast, to fight it, and one person to uncover who it is!

This last part will take some time, and there may be rest periods between murders, as with most serial killers. This plot won't be a main one at all, but a little undercurrent side thing for people to fuss with.

The climax of it will happen quite a ways down the road.

Any takers?

Toby is a werewolf, not a traditional one, but a wolf and a soldier and what not. There is some information on his journal about him specifically. He likes helping out in Everglade so he'd probably help. The only question I have is will it smell like Cassian because then he'd recognize the scent because he's more or less a blood hound and had worked for an evil prick for 20 years.

Let me know! Cuz I think it'd be fun to have him head but if the smell thing is to annoying I can have him sit out and possibly toss someone else.

Okay, so before I offer my detective and superhero for this...

How long is this plot planned to last? Will there be clues available? Is there an end game planned out?

Depending on the timing, Abel only has Friday night, Sat, and Sun to be in Everglade. (Sorry, managing my own store.)

If this happen on Sunday. Well, you know. So most likely, other people will find out first and Abel will pick interest and take the backseat until his days off.

This guy is highly interested in murders and investigating them! Though he has little interest in uncovering criminals or reporting them unless he deems their actions to be for despair. (Which this most likely counts towards.) He doesn't have any knowledge of supernatural stuff, but he's well read. He also has a maxed out luck stat that is helpful for being in the right place at the right time for finding clues.

I have two characters that could end up getting involved. Caelestis would feel obligated to investigate since he's part of the Rangers (and he often pokes his nose in on serious matters regardless), meanwhile Cipher is a [now cranky] demon who might be interested in finding the killer out of pure intrigue. Cipher's morality is questionable so he could go anywhere from aiding the cause solely out of his own curiosity, to offering Cassian shelter, or even leave red herrings to make the detectives' lives harder. I could throw either (or both with restrictions) in on this.

Konoka pretty much lives in Everglade, is magically knowledgeable and runs a store dedicated to protecting people, so she could also look into the mystery. She's not strong on offense but will surely back up anyone deciding to pick a fight with Hastur once he's discovered.

Count on Aya to help fight off the beast!

I WANT EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS. however for my own sanity ill just say that savir will totally fight him and protect people and whatever.
