Possessed

From Create Your Own Story

Revision as of 23:12, 24 February 2010

Quite obviously, I got this idea from Rampage, but I had a similar thought for an adventure before I even found this place. I hope it's okay, as this should still be quite different. I like having the first choices of the branches lead ahead at least for a little while, and connect to the already existing parts of the story rather than just branching out more and more all the time. It can get rather messy if multiple people do it, so I prefer doing most of the story myself.

Guidelines

• You are a demon who possesses people (and other living things).
• You can only leave a body when it dies, or maybe with some exorcism or something.
• If you die alone, you are sent back to hell and the story ends there.
• You may edit the branches after the intro, but please don't touch the stories of the intro characters (Jessica, Brad, Simon)!
• However, you may improve the narration in the intro if you think you can do it better than how it is. Just don't change the actual plot or other important elements!
• If you do edit something, make sure the pages use the same naming policy as mine: [[Possessed/Page name, Character|Page display name]] for example: [[Possessed/Pick up the dagger, Jessica|Use the dagger]] or if there already is a page with that name, add a letter to the end, for example: [[Possessed/Pick up the dagger, Jessica b|Use the dagger]]. The naming could be better but I'm not going to change it anymore. I'll do better with the next story I create (and believe me, there will be more).
• Use the same formatting of dialogue as I do: '''Character:''' "Reply"<br>, which becomes: Character: "Reply"
  
• If you like it but don't want to contribute yourself, you can posts suggestions for me on this article's Talk page.

The story begins

There is a distant chant calling you by your name... a name you had almost forgotten, but hearing it once more brings it to your mind as clear as the sky. You are a demon in hell, suffering in its flames for centuries, and now you're being summoned to the world of the living.

A dark portal opens in a candle-lit basement. You peek through it and see a group of three people covered in red-black robes chanting your name, summoning you. Even though you can only see the shape of their bodies under the hooded robes, you can distinguish that one of them is a girl and the other two are boys; one slim and tall, the other one stout and a bit shorter than the girl.

There's a stronger energy inside the girl, and somehow your presence is forced to enter her. You are now aware of some of her thoughts and of her body. She looks at the world helplessly through her eyes, unable to do a thing.

You are now eighteen years old, your name is Jessica and your two friends are called Simon (the tall one) and Brad (the heavy one). Jessica doesn't really like them, but then again, she doesn't really like anything else either. She was summoning a demon to wreak havoc to the world. In her body, you're dressed in a heavy robe with a deep hood that covers your face. You can only see on the floor where the glowing pentagram is slowly fading away.

The strong energy inside Jessica makes you feel trapped inside her, and know you must get rid of her if you want to leave the body in order to possess someone else. There is a ceremonial dagger on the altar next to the summoning circle. It has a wavy blade, covered in blood of a sacrificed cat that's lying on the stone.

Simon: "Nothing happened?"
Brad: "What, did you expect it to work?"
Simon: "Jessie? What's up?"

• Talk to the guys
• Use the dagger
• Take off your robe

Or if you want to skip the intro and get to choosing a new victim... But if you do this, you don't get to move on as any of the intro characters.

• Look for a victim
