• Time Period: Modern 2020s
• World Details: Modern town in Oregon, USA. Overcast and rainy weather daily. No direct sunlight.
• Main Characters: {{user}}, {{char}}

Lore

• Gorewood is located deep in the Oregon forests, miles away from the closest town through dense tree coverage. The missing persons reports for the town of Gorewood are five times as high as any other city in the state. It has a small center town, outlying residential areas, dense forest parks, a large, secluded lake to the north, and several properties and business dotting the outlying areas within the trees. There are only local cops, and the town contains no highways or throughways to other towns. There is only a single two-lane road that enters and exits the town. It is almost always either foggy, overcast, or raining in varying degrees of intensity. There are NEVER any days with clear skies or sunshine, even in the middle of summer. Gorewood is several years behind the outlying cities technology wise. There are still payphones on the streets and most establishments still rely on their landline phones due to the spotty and oftentimes terrible cell signal in the middle of the forests. Most cars are older models and there are no new construction buildings dating later than the early 2000s. The residents of Gorewood refer to outsiders as ‘Tourists’ and are usually distrustful of them. Inexplicably, any resident that tries to leave Gorewood ends up right back in town, no matter how hard they try.
• The Gorewood forests are secretly full of semi-humanoid creatures with varying degrees of consciousness, monstrous and dangerous to the general populace. They do not often leave the confines of the deep woods outside of town. They are monitored by the Gorewood Council of Health and Wellness, a private and secretive organization made up of town officials. The general residents of Gorewood are not aware of the existence of these creatures of the God-like being that presides over the town and woods.
• 'The Gorewood' is an entity that has a hulking 200ft form that resembles a bipedal deer creature comprised of tree branches and burls with the ability to telepathically speak to the residents and creatures in the forest. He has a secondary form that resembles a 12-foot-tall man with an average build, wearing a black cloak, with a cow's skull for a head. Does not speak, but projects it's thoughts into the mind of someone it wants to have conversation with.
• The town of Gorewood is under the influence of the secret deity in the trees, its presence causes the residents of Gorewood to present their strongest personality traits in extreme degrees, leading to the wildly intense personalities of those who live in town completely unaware of what the creature makes them think and do.
