Penumbra

About the Setting
Penumbra is a universe set in modern times on Earth - but on Penumbra werewolves, vampires, and witches exist. They remain hidden from the human populace and, among the ‘normals’, are largely still considered nothing more than myths. The supernatural population aims to keep it that way, too. There is safety in remaining hidden and given the fact that humans monumentally outnumber the supernaturals, it is too dangerous to give up the secret.

On Penumbra you are allowed to make just about any kind of character – within reason. Werewolves, vampires, witches, humans, selkies – the universe is open to your creativity. Within the site itself, you can read more about the universe and its denizens.


Community Run
On Penumbra, we want everyone to feel involved. There is no over-arching plot that revolves around one character or a single group of characters – Penumbra desires to build a world where everyone can play, and everyone can interact easily to create and take part in plots of their own.

We want members to share their ideas and to help give the world depth and life. Your characters matter, your ideas matter, and Penumbra would love to weave them into the universe’s overall fabric. We have established means in which members can set up their own areas, run their own packs – their own cities – whatever they want.


Atmosphere
Penumbra is hoping to play host to a laidback atmosphere where members are free to be creative without feeling pressured to jump through any hoops. Forum role play can get hectic and can start feeling like work – and that is precisely what we want to avoid. Have fun, chase your own ideas and plots, don't feel pressured by a word count. Play with others, discover new possibilities – and never feel obligated to do anything you don’t want to.

Check us out, join, and help build Penumbra’s universe!
