Theme

Silent Heaven is a small-town roleplaying game focused on personal demons amidst a backdrop of supernatural horror. The only people who find their way to the town of Silent Heaven are those who aren't okay, even if they act like they are. Your character is among this twisted cast of characters. Everyone hopes to find that road to salvation, but temptations lurk around every corner. Be bad. Be vulnerable. Embrace your sorrow. Will you face your darkest times and recover? Or will you succumb to the town and be lost forever? The worst thing that can happen is getting comfortable with living here. CONFLICT BETWEEN CHARACTERS Throughout your character's story, your character will likely engage in conflict with other characters, whether they're NPCs or PCs. Conflict helps move stories forward. However, there's a firm line between what's acceptable and what isn't. You've likely heard of Player vs. Player (PvP) gameplay, where you compete against other players in a game, whether it be via combat, social prestige, or deception. We don't do that in Silent Heaven. As a community, we're expected to be friendly, respectful, and supportive of our fellow players. It's important to be able to separate conflict between characters (CvC) and conflict between players (PvP). We're all having a good time as players putting our characters into dangerous situations. We encourage OOC check-ins to make sure everyone is still enthusiastic about what's happening, and coming to an amicable resolution if things are starting to get uncomfortable. Overall, Silent Heaven is a dangerous place, and your character will naturally fall into CvC. Bad things will happen to your character just as often as good things. Treat each player with care and respect. Keep conflict in-game. Know your limits. If this style of roleplay suits your preferences, then Silent Heaven is for you. LORE AND WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Lore? There's plenty. But you don't need to know anything ahead of time. As a fresh resident to a mysterious town, discovering it all in-character is part of the excitement. Want to learn more about that church? You could ask someone about it, or find and read some literature about it, or even go there yourself to soak in some history. It's perfectly acceptable for your character to ask someone, "What the fuck is going on in this town?" In fact, it's encouraged. It's an excellent way to spur roleplay and delve into how your character reacts to the unknown. If you like solving mysteries, this town has plenty of them. LIMITATIONS TO WHAT YOU CAN ROLEPLAY The following should be assumed to be true: Your character enters Silent Heaven as a modern-day human with no supernatural powers. Nobody who successfully leaves Silent Heaven can ever find their way back in. There are no 'return visits.' There is no way to 'fix' the town of Silent Heaven. While your character may have influence on the future of NPCs and landscapes, the backdrop of a hidden town full of cursed characters will not change. Silent Heaven isn't in any set location. Outside contact within Silent Heaven will never happen. For what it's worth, consider the town to be on an entirely different plane of existence. The timeline of Silent Heaven diverged from the real world in 2010, and anything after that never happened. Humans still exist. Scientific, social and technological advancements continue as normal. This alternate world history is intentionally an amorphous blob, because your character's storylines will center around being in a town isolated from the rest of the world. We hope you enjoy your time in Silent Heaven!
