Preface
-
❝They're antithetical to the poetry of fear. In a horror story, the victim keeps asking why, but there can be no explanation and there shouldn't be one. The unanswered mystery is what stays with us the longest and is what we'll remember in the end. My name is Alan Wake, I'm a writer.❞
Alan Wake is an action-adventure game developed by Remedy Entertainment. The story follows bestselling thriller novelist Alan Wake as he tries to uncover the mystery behind his wife's disappearance in the small town of Bright Falls, Washington. In its pacing and structure, the eponymous protagonist Alan Wake experiences events from the plot in his latest novel, which he cannot remember writing.
After having suffered a two-year stretch of writer's block, Alan's life changed the day he agreed to an alleged vacation set up by his wife, Alice Wake. His night terrors of shadowy figures came to fruition and he encountered murderous entities known as the Taken which were once humans that became possessed by a "Dark Presence," flocks of avaricious ravens, and random bouts with inanimate objects. Accompanied by his best friend Barry Wheeler, Alan embarks on a nightmarish journey of self-discovery.
Once Alan collected the pages of his missing manuscript rightfully named "Departure," he set to complete the story by sacrificing himself to the "Dark Place" in order to free his missing wife. This depiction is a variant from the game's ending, however. While the events in Bright Falls still occurred, Alan somehow managed to free himself sometime after the incident at the Federal Bureau of Control.
Presently, Alan Wake is a force to be reckoned with, able to write things into existence with his newfound capability acquired from Cauldron Lake...

Rules
- OOC ≠ IC
Though our bestselling author may be pretty intuitive, what happens out of character does not equal what transpires in character. The same is true in reverse. What is told in confidence or anything read about the character should not be known unless it is common in-universe knowledge, published or verbalized via characters involved, so on and so forth. - Be Considerate
Mun has a tendency to be a bit of a lurker. A lot of role-plays may just be appreciated as a spectator or may refuse to participate altogether. Please respect as such, but there is no harm in inquiring interested parties either. Mun is open-minded, untethered, friendly, unrated, uncensored, and welcomes diversity!
- No Powerplay
No God-modding, powerplaying, or auto anything, please. I understand grand, ethereal beings exist, but most entities of that caliber have some kind of composure and restraint around us mortals, yes? Original characters are welcomed and canons from other fandoms are greatly inspiring and appreciated. There is no judgment here, for the most part!
- Availability
U.S. Central Standard Time in the evenings and weekends. Mun works long hours and currently has two jobs, one of which is full-time. This is not to deter from long-term plots despite the possibility of long pauses in between. Patience and understanding is sort of a prerequisite. Messaging style role-plays through RPR are preferred, whereas live roleplays will be much more difficult. Apologies in advance!
- Romance
If it happens, it happens, but it is not very likely all things considered. There will not be anything already established either -- mun prefers to build relationships be they romantic or otherwise. Please consider the character's preferences.
- Fighting
Alan isn't entirely inept when it comes to fighting, but he's certainly no brawler. He can be quite resourceful when it comes to using what he has, but in his case, the pen truly is mightier than the sword. The whole prospect of picking fights with someone who could write you out of existence isn't entirely wise, however, but nothing is ever fully determined. There will be no instant deaths. It would be preferred to discuss all these epic battles beforehand.
- Hearken!
Rules may be subject to change or update accordingly! Nothing too drastic, assuredly. This character's beliefs and actions are their own and do not reflect those of his player. Please do not take anything the character might do or say personally. This is entirely fiction, and nothing should be taken seriously.
