For those of you who do not know, Silent Hill is a series of psychological/survival horror video games, along with a movie based off of the games. There are three "planes" in which the town of Silent Hill resides in. First off, there's the normal, populated town; a quiet, seemingly abandoned town veiled by supernaturally thick fog(known as "fog world"); and a dark and decaying town (called the "Otherworld") filled with disturbing, hellish imagery.
Basic Rules:
1) This is a horror RP. I expect everyone to act as if it is a horror RP. It isn't a romance, or a porno, or a comedy, so take that bullshit somewhere else. However, you can get as gory as you want as long as it isn't rediculous or overly explicit.
2) No excessive swearing. It's annoying.
3) Any and all characters are normal people. No superheroes or supervillains, no demigods(unless you get written permission in the RP from me, and I'll rarely accept it. However, it will only have a chance if it is a monster like in the end of SH3), no magical powers, no rainbows and unicorns and pixie dust. It's fine to have someone be muscularly built, but don't have them lifting cars randomly. Keep it realistic!
4) Be mature and curteous. Nothing pisses me off more than having a serious conversation, and then someone says something stupid like "that's what she said!"
5) This is a semi-literate to literate RP. No text talk, and use complete sentences. Dialogue is spoken "in quotation marks", thoughts are italicised, actions are in non-dialogue parts, and Out of Character commentary or chatting is within ((double parentheses)). ex: Incorrect: *jumps up and down* i cant get it help me up. Correct: Jane jumps up and down. I can't get it... "Hey, can you help me up?"
6) Follow the format for character submission/monster submission and the rules for each plane.
7) All characters, monsters and bosses have a chance at dying. However, where a character is done once it dies, monsters and bosses can respawn once the next cycle of Otherworld comes around. Characters can turn into monsters or bosses once killed if you get my written permission within the RP.
8 ) Roleplayers are encouraged to have multiple monsters and characters, especially of residents
9) Try to keep monsters and bosses symbolic

Rules for each plane
Normal World:
1) No monsters or bosses ever
2) All characters start out in the Normal World
3) Access to all open shops
Fog World:
1) Few to solitary social groupings of low status monsters(levels 1 and 2) are allowed to roam, though are much slower and inflict less damage.
2) Few residents stay through to Fog World transition, therefore, few shops are open
3) The siren is used to warn of the transition into Otherworld. You have a day in real-life time to respond
4) Generally, this is the plane that puzzles will be given to characters to solve
Otherworld:
1) All monsters and bosses are available.
2) High ranking monsters and bosses(level 7 and higher) can only attack the characters who have been through at least 3 cycles of Otherworld. Medium ranking monsters and bosses(5 and 6) can attack characters who have passed through at least 2 cycles. Moderate(3 and 4) can attack after 1 completed cycle, and Low ranking monsters can attack anyone.
3) Characters must post how many completed cycles they have gone through in the Out of Character section at the beginning of every Otherworld cycle. If one fails to do so, and the character is role-played in an unprotected area, a super boss is allowed to attack, no matter what level it is.
4) Bosses can attack at the end of a section if they are alive for the cycle. A section can be a single building, or the cycle of Otherworld.
5) The Church is a protected area from all monsters and bosses, unless blood has been spilled within 3 cycles of Otherworld. It can only be accessed through a resident that resides in the Church(In other words, a character cannot make it to the church without the aid of the Church residing resident).
6) All monsters and bosses with exception to a very small minority of the low ranking monsters die at the end of each Otherworld cycle, whether a character has defeated the area boss or not. If the Otherworld cycle transitions into Normal World, all monsters and bosses die
7) The end of the Otherworld cycle will transition into Fog World, unless otherwise stated
