It had taken some convincing for the driver to agree to go this far; three had turned him down stating that the drive was too long and not worth their time. He’d also caught the grumble under one breath that, if his Norwegian was correct, called the place haunted.
Staring at it through the window, Victor could see why. The hotel itself stood stark and tall against a small crest of mountains set back off the road. No other buildings marred the picturesque look of the destination spot, though a small, dark forest of trees lined the dirt road leading to the hotel. With the gray clouds that had started to gather and the light snowfall that had already started, it gave the appearance and impression that he might actually be entering a horror movie. All it was missing was a sign on an arch that read ‘Lost Souls Beyond This Point’ or something equally as cheesy, to make the scene.
PREMISE
Hotel Fen is a remote resort in the Scandinavian Mountains, a four-hour drive from the city of Oslo in Norway. It's a luxury hotel with a vintage feel and a Norse mythology theme, and it's a popular place for long vacations and for those who simply want to get away from the world for a while.
The sandbox is inspired by the novel of the same name, and the premise is simple: characters find themselves trapped in the hotel, and they'll have to survive its horrors and get out.
BASIC INFO
β max 3 characters per player
β no apps, just a simple signup with some deets
β canon, AU, CRAU, OC... pretty much anyone, lmao
β ineligible characters: generally norse mythology and norse myth based characters actually named in the mythos (ie. the gods) - but talk to us! please see the FAQ.
β horror! mystery! magic!
β no AC, just a monthly check-in that'll form part of the monthly logs
β backtags are forever, but since character actions affect the outcome, decisions will have to be made or we'll have to take stock of handwaved things
β a log post will go up every month and everything will be threaded there, including the monthly metaplot-related events and any exploration plots
β there will be one post where all network and related things go, and another will be made if it hits captcha
β there will be character deaths
β power nerfing might be necessary so as not to break things, lmao

β pets, animal companions, small children... yes. because why not? as long as it's reasonable, lmao
β questions? ask them HERE
ARRIVAL OPTIONS
Characters can arrive in any of the following ways:
- VOLUNTARY - THE TOURIST OPTION For characters who can afford it! Meaning they actually book a vacation in this place; the minimum package is for seven nights. These characters will arrive by car or cab or private carriage anytime during the story. But wait... carriage? Horse-drawn carriages? Why not? The hotel's super old, who's to say it hasn't existed in those characters' time?
- MYSTERIOUS - THE LUCKY WINNER OPTION These characters somehow wind up with a free vacation from a mysterious benefactor. They win a contest they don't remember entering, inherit an all-expense paid trip from a random deceased person, end up going in someone else's place, etc. They will arrive all together via bus at the start of the story, but they could've gone to the rendezvous point in Oslo or they were picked up along the way.
- ACCIDENTAL - THE NARNIA OPTION What it says. Your character walks through a door, falls into the sea, crash-lands into a forest, gets teleported to a wrong location... whatever the case, these characters will arrive somewhere outside the hotel (but within the vicinity) in mod-assigned locations and timing. Please note that these characters will arrive with everyone else they're with at that moment, so yes you can arrive as a group, and yes you can arrive with pets and small children, but no please don't take an entire train of NPCs with you?
- UNKNOWN - THE AFTERLIFE OPTION For characters who are taken from their deaths. They wake up in a room of their own at the beginning of the story, and they have no recollection of who they are and how they died. What they do know is that they've been staying in the hotel for quite sometime now, enjoying its luxuries and just living their best lives! (Powers, if any, will remain, though they might have to be nerfed to keep from breaking the game. Memories will have to be regained during the course of the story and there will be ample opportunities to do so.)
- WILDCARD - THE MOD-DESIGNATED OPTION For those who can't decide, or just want an adventure! This doesn't mean, however, that your character will have a bigger role to play in the metaplot. But if you want the extra challenge of working out what you're given, this is the option for you.

Reference: LINK
Basic Info: Hey, it's ya boi. Skinny Penis. He's back in San Francisco after saving half the universe (no biggie) and raising his now fifteen year old daughter. Before that, he was stuck in the quantum realm (for him, it was a few minutes; for the world, it was five years). Before that, he helped save Janet Van Dyne from the quantum realm, grew to 100+ feet tall, and got off house arrest. Before that, he destroyed an airport with Captain America. Before that, he met Hank Pym and Hope Van Dyne, became Ant-Man, and stopped Darren Cross from selling his Yellowjacket weapons and Pym Particles to criminals and terrorists. But when we first meet Scott, he's just been released from San Quentin for hacking into Vistacorp and returning the money they stole from their customers.
Age:
Paul Rudd is immortalmid to late 40sRace: Human
Eye Color: Green
Does your character have special powers or magical abilities? Does card tricks count as a magical ability? If not, no. He has the ability to shrink and grow, but that's only with the Ant-Man suit and the Pym Particles.
What is your character's greatest strength? His love for his daughter, Cassie, got him through 3 years in prison, brought him back from the quantum realm, and drives him to be a better person.
What is your character's fatal flaw? He gets so blinded by the desire and need to do the right thing, even if it's to the detriment of his loved ones.
If your character could have one wish granted, what would they ask for? All the years he missed with Cassie (roughly 8 years).
Pick a rune for your character: α Ehwaz; "horse"
Pick your character's top 10 traits:
Arrival: Mysterious - The Lucky Winner Option. This dummy won a free trip from a contest he didn't even enter and the thought that it'd end badly didn't even cross his mind.
Do you have an endgame in mind for your character? At the very least, not waking up in a bathtub full of ice without a kidney. Anything else is a-okay.
Anything else?

The first game log will go up on October 1st, midnight CST, in which Scott will be among those who arrive by bus from Oslo on day 1, having won a free trip. (Does he want to bring one of his life-sized ants? Nobody will think it's weird... maybe.) Until then, please feel free to tag in the test drive meme since threads can be considered game canon at your discretion, even with characters who aren't apped in.
We also have a Discord server now, if you want to say hi.
Enjoy your stay!

he won't have the suit or any pym particles

But yes, that's totally fine! If you change your mind and want to switch it up, just let us know; you can reply here or shoot something in the FAQ or via PM. We're generally leaving things to the player's discretion as long as it's reasonable and doesn't break the game. The creepy magic hotel really doesn't want you to leave, Scott.
