օƈƈʟʊֆɨօռ — reservations.

օƈƈʟʊֆɨօռ— the blockage or closing of a blood vessel or hollow organ.

warning: long post ahead. only read through if you're willing.

like any typical murder mystery, occlusion takes place in the manor of a well-known, charismatic philanthropist, gathering esteemed guests within her home for an extravagant dinner party. however, there are more sinister intentions that lie beneath the surface of the manor — will you succumb to the killer that stalks the halls, or will you solve the mystery at the manweol manor?

before reserving:

as mentioned, this murder mystery will employ a lot of mechanics and rules that may require more than just a simple skimming. before reserving, make sure you are willing to read through the rules of both the rp and this reservation blog, as it will include some important facts that will build your character throughout the story. the maximum number of players will be six players, so make sure you are interested and willing to participate in this rp before reserving. it will take a lot of time and some amount of effort, so do not reserve if you're not willing to put in some effort. don't worry about activity— if some players are busy with real life, we can pick up the rp anytime everyone has time to do so. however, that requires interest, which is why it is essential that you're interested in this concept, and you're willing to read through my very long instructions in order to play.

now, on to the actual mechanics before reservation. as mentioned, each player will have certain stats— health, sanity, charisma, and perception. these stats aren't just for show— they're essential in progressing through the story. whenever you want to perform an action, such as pry information from a witness or fight the murderer, such actions will require a stat roll. you will have to roll the dice in order to see the outcome of your action — for example, getting a 1 will mean that the action ends in failure, while getting a 6 will mean that you are successful (this is only an example, and not the actual failure and success rate!)

that being said, aside from the three stat points you're free to distribute, there are also archetypes you can claim, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. if you claim these archetypes, your character needs to be created around that archetype, and their stats need to reflect on their characters. you're not required to claim these, however— only if you want to take part in something special.
