Kind of like Dungeons and Dragons, with a mix of Eragon, and maybe some Lord of the Rings. But who knows?

Sometimes a little heavy on the science, and sometimes a little heavy on the fiction.

For realistic (?) roleplays set in the late 20th to 21st centuries.

Anything from the 1990s back, really. Can be either historically accurate or fictional, be sure to let the participants know.

Yes, you can make a roleplay dedicated entirely to shits and giggles.

If you have any games, books, or shows that you'd want to continue or elaborate on, this is where to do it. The original Dark Rain had a rule banning Anime/Manga roleplays, this site does not. However, make sure that they are quality.

Ghastly Ghouls and fearsome frights! This is where you post the most terrifying, gory, edge-of-your-chair eye-popper roleplays for shrieks and screams. Enter at your own peril, and prepare to have your hair stand on end!

Red stained battlefields... The smell of a thousand decaying bodies... Are you up to it? Challenge fellow members to a duel and see who the stronger truly is.

A place to post and store your roleplaying characters so they can be easily looked up by yourself and others. Need to find out the color of that character's eyes? Want to know what makes your roleplaying enemy tick? Read through our character archives.

Honored Characters

Post all of the out-of-character stuff here. Make sure that you make a thread for each roleplaying thread. It prevents icky-clutter.

Downtown, the heart of New York city. An agreed neutral zone, Downtown is the only true safe haven in the entirety of the city. Filled with market places, night clubs and bars at every turn: Downtown is the one place denizens of this nightmarish post-apocalyptic city can come for what passes as peace in these dark days.

Overgrown and neglected, Central park has become the main home of the Lycan Clan. Warped by the arcane, hellish energies that transformed New York; this once beautiful point of relaxation has become a miniature jungle in the heart of the city. Open to Demons to a degree, Vampires and Humans would do well to avoid this place - death lurks around every corner for those foolish enough to tempt the wrath of the Lycanthrope Horde.

New York Harbour is a warzone, contested by the Demons, Lycanthrope Clan, Vampire Brood and Human survivors: This chokehold is vital to all four factions in different ways. Entering alone is a fast way to death and damnation. Small neutral zones have been established at various docks that provide independant trade of exotic goods. For the Humans, the harbour represents one of the vital supply routes for food. A large portion of the shipyard's western portion, closest to the cargo freighter docks, has been turned into the central powerbase for the human war effort. With a cathedral in construction and holy wards placed daily around its iron-walled perimeter, protected by large concrete fortifications.

Uptown New York city is the powerbase of the Vampire Brood. Lead by their archaic aristocratic government, these beautiful damned souls keep only the most beautiful of residences. Protected at all times by their shadowy Assassins and kept safe from UV by the constant darkness that blots out the sun over the earth; Uptown is home to the finer of life's pleasures, including vampiric brothels and night clubs. Death is a constant probability for any Lycanthrope silly enough to trespass on brood territory.
