PROPOSAL BY: Ming Yheng

GROUP NAME: The Ling-Chi

FORUM ID:Ming Yheng

MEMBERS: Xhex Darkfire, Morphy123 Allen, Utsukii Resident, Tucker Davros

TYPE: cult

BACKSTORY: (This is a re-proposal as the Cult has been set inactive due to a administrative misunderstanding) The Ling-Chi consists of (IC of course, at least ..that is what we hope) pure psychos with a really twisted mind. The Ling-Chi followers are cultists, their life is torturing people in ways you probably didn't know existed. We are -not- knife-wielding Rambos, we always operate in silence, from the shadows. Once done with our necessary evil we hide back in the shadows again, waiting for the next opportunity to strike. And we do strike, we have a mission, and that mission is cleansing this world from all the sluts before it is too late and this world will fall into oblivion. We are followers of The Great Old Ones, we worship them, we despise the common people, the bargirls, the impure, the cursed.....we will make them understand they are ..wrong. The foundation of the Ling-Chi cult: The Great Old Ones are ancient (they existed already eons before the planet Earth was born) extraterrestrial beings of immense power, and most are also colossal in size. These entities seem to have a physical shape, but being cosmic lifeforms from beyond our space-time continuum means they are not based on matter in our definition of the concept, yet their forms are built on principles similar enough to those of true matter that they appear to be material in their nature. They are worshipped by deranged human cults, like The Ling-Chi, as well as by most of the non-human races of the mythos. The Great Old Ones are currently imprisoned beneath the oceans, some inside the Earth, and still others in distant planetary systems and beyond. The reason for their captivity is not known. The Ling-Chi leaders are devout servants of Cthulhu, Cthulhu is the high priest to the Great Old Ones. Cthulhu lived ages before there were any men, and who came to the young world out of the sky. Cthulhu is depicted as : A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, flabby claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind. The phrase (as written by one of the few blessed who actually have seen Cthulhu) "a mountain walked or stumbled" gives a sense of the creature's scale. Cthulhu is depicted as having a worldwide doomsday cult centered in Arabia, with followers in regions as far-flung as Greenland and Louisiana. There are leaders of the cult "in the mountains of China" who are said to be immortal. The Ling-Chi is one of those cultleader's groups, spreading it's horror and cruelty amongst the people. As said, we are not a knife wielding, bar-fight loving gang, we are an undergound cult, we do not speak of it in public, we will not give anyone the opportunity to point a finger and say "There is one of The Ling-Chi !", we just don't exist to the world of the common people, we are chosen and we -will- follow our great leader and obey him. All Members of the Ling-Chi will respect the Ling-Chi's leader, Ming Yheng. Disrespect or any mutiny attempt will be punished by immediate expellation and a curse inflicted upon the offender which will haunt him or her for the rest of his/her pityful life. All Ling-Chi members are to follow these guidelines at all times (This does not apply to the Leader): You do not harm any commoner who is dressed decently, unless given case-by-case approval by the Leader. You will not speak in public about the Ling-Chi, you will not speak about or mention the name Ling-Chi to anyone outside the cult. You will follow the orders of the Leader without questioning them. Carrying any other weapon besides a concealed knife to defend yourself is not allowed. You will not abduct, torture or rape any member of the Ling-Chi, unless approved by the Leader, breaking this rule will result in immediate expellation from the Ling-Chi. Anyone who opposes the Ling-Chi actively must be eliminated. Roles and titles in the Ling-Chi: Nú ......................................... A servant of one of the members as mentioned above. The nú has no value and may be used as a torture training object or servant. Fãdòng..................................The lowest level in the hierarchy of The Ling-Chi. The Fãdòng must prove their dedication and loyalty to The Ling-Chi before they are fully accepted into this secret organization. Yiyuán...................................Full members of the Ling-Chi, who have proven their loyalty to The Ling-Chi. Guãnyuán.............................An officer of the Ling-Chi, assigned to take care of matters as recruiting and solving internal issues within the Ling-Chi Lîngxiù...................................The Leader of the Ling-Chi cult. Tags will not show the role of a Ling-Chi member, only : The Ling-Chi.

UNIQUE: UNIQUE FOR DE: We have our base here, disguised as a Chinese Teahouse ( the Stick N Stoned) where tea, herbal 'medicines' and other rarities are sold. Besides that we do what we are expected to do, cleanse the world of this unspeakable horror called 'slutty women'. Though this is where the twisted ways of the Ling-Chi come in, to provide the cult with the necessary funding, Ming Yheng, the leader, has a few girls working as whores in the Teahouse and they are under the protection of the Ling-Chi, until there is no need for them anymore, that is the moment where they will be treated as victims and will undergo'the cleansing'. We guide them towards the light by letting them feel true pain through severe torture and psychological confusion, only this will save this planet and hopefully diminishes the wrath of Cthulhu The Ancient.

FLAW: The Ling-Chi follows their own religion, they see the Great Old Ones as the only way this planet can be saved from ultimate doom. Of course this is something from which everyone understands is pure nonsense and the devotion of the Ling-Chi is most likely making the citizens of DE look at the Ling-Chi members as a bunch of weirdos, living in a dream world.

POTENTIAL ENEMY: OTHER: DE needs a mysterious, underground cult of which people speak of but not having any proof of it's existence. The Ling-Chi belongs in DE.

EXP:EXPERIENCE: RL management skills (for running and administering the group). Years of roleplay experience ( 3 years in DE ). Social skills, perseverance and empathy.

IDEAS:IDEAS: The rp-style of the cult caters for many things DE is known for....kidnap, bdsm, torture, etc. The teahouse has grown into a central point in DE, more and more people are coming there in search for RP, most of the day there is at least someone of The Ling-Chi present. Besides that, we have already established and are establishing roleplay storylines with several places and players in DE, Lulu's, The Red Herring, etc. ICly the Ling-Chi has already spread it's web over town and it's threads delve deep into many of it's branches, including the DEPD. It is our goal to have connections and rp scenes with each faction/business in DE as The Ling-Chi is playing a neutral role. We are only interested in reaching our goal ( which will take eons, btw 🙂 by ICly 'using every means and opportunity available' to roleplay our story.

OTHER:OTHER: DE needs a mysterious, underground cult of which people speak of but not having any proof of it's existence. The Ling-Chi belongs in DE.
