<b>Overview and Story</b><br/><br/><em>I have terrible news, child. Terrible for you, and terrible for us. Listen closely to what I have to say, for our lives all depend on it.<br/><br/>Long ago, there was not seven gods, as we have now, but one. All the clans worshiped Arlest, a unknowable and corrupt Goddess. She demanded sacrifices of blood and spirit, haunting the dreams of her priests. Even when we provided these sacrifices, she twisted animals and men into monsters to plague us. She tortured our bodies into a sexual frenzy, and tormented our minds with her mad whispers.<br/><br/>The Spirits chafed under her rule, and charged the clan with overthrowing her. Seven heroes, bonded with the spirits of their clans, fought their way through her temple, through the spirit world, and into Arlest's sanctum. There, they smote the Goddess down. Before her existence was unraveled, Arlest brought a terrible curse on all clans of Man and Beasts. Every 500 years, a few of each race will bear her Mark on their bodies. They will grow lustful and perverse, drawing all those around them into madness and need. They bring grave misfortune into the world, and the only known way to stop them is death.<br/><br/>You, sadly, bear Arlest's Mark.<br/><br/>There is, however, a slim chance of hope. Have you heard of Shattered Relic? It was once a place of high learning, sorcery and martial arts before one of the Cursed appeared in the city. The sorcerers there worked hard on a cure, and, in a tribute to their genius, succeeded. They tried to use it on the Cursed one, but were driven into madness before it could be administered. The mad people of Shattered Relic twisted their homes, bodies and pets into a perverts dream. The town was quarantined by the Clans, and has been for many years.<br/><br/>But the cure still exists. Those with the sight can see it in their mind's eye. But there is exactly one, and there will be others out to purify themselves.<br/><br/>Now, you must gather your things and leave here. You can not come back until you are cursed no longer. Go, child, and may the Gods watch over you.</em><br/><br/>I am checking for interest in The Cursed, a light-hearted, competitive, anime-inspired game. Players take the roles of people suffering under a ancient curse. It slowly drives people around them insane with lust, and changes the weak-willed into monsters. Given time, the curse eventually corrupts the carrier, unless something is done about it. The Cursed are also immortal, to a degree. They can only be killed after a short, archaic ritual. Other than that, they regenerate from any injury.<br/><br/>The city of Shattered Relic and the creatures within, would not be trying to kill the characters anyway. Sure, some monsters or traps might attack the character so they can do evil things to her, but they won't kill them. It try to wear you down, applying penalties and bad status effects, while the character gets better armor and magic and experience to counter these. If you can keep going long enough to get the cure, then you win. If the penalties get so bad that you can no longer search, you lose, and succumb to the Curse.<br/><br/>All the while, the Curse will be inflicting it's own penalties. The Cursed can make other members of the Cursed gain penalties as well, though sex or special techniques (like spells or Jujitsu in Naruto). So the characters have every reason to try and make their rivals go mad, so they stop competing for the cure.<br/><br/>Also, I will be giving everyone a fair chance. I will only send the characters against things they can conceivable defeat (without taking penalties into account, of course). Keep in mind that most, if not all of you, are going to lose this game. There is only one cure, after all. Please keep this in mind and be a good sport.<br/><br/>There will be slight elements of pregnancy, bestiality, hentai weirdness, overwhelming lust, and LOTS of non-consensual. I will be mindful of Ons and Offs however (if a person wants monsters instead of animals, for instance, that's no problem). I will also take requests for specific challenges.<br/><br/>The system will be dice chucker. (http://www.1km1kt.net/rpg/Dice_Chucker.php). Character Pool is 5, plus 1 sex-themed attribute, picked by the player.
