Type: Scapegoat. For those who don’t know what this is, it’s sort of the typical format, but with a twist. Each Friday has a murder and an investigation, and a trial on Saturday. The difference is that each trial presents multiple suspects for the murderer, and you can scapegoat one of them to be killed instead of the murderer. This is not punished by a total party kill - it just results in the true murderer staying alive.
Minigames Y/N: Yes! It’s not a Mandy murdergame without minigames!
Final count: We run into endgame when we hit 10 characters (of a full 25). This number will be shortened if we get less. There will be ways to die throughout the week as well - such as volunteering to go up against the mastermind. However, be careful… if you do manage to kill him, it might be worse than you realize.
Characters Allowed: Fandom OCs, OCs, malleable and silent protagonists, basically we’re open to almost anything here, but we can have only one version of each character. What’s not allowed? Historical characters/real life people.
Power loss: Yes. Most powers will be lost. In fact, your character will even find that body-specific powers that keep them functioning are nullified. A vampire won't need to drink anymore, for example. In return, they will be given a ‘devil arm’ - a weapon formed from a demon dying and taking new form.But here's the thing - they can only be wielded by supernatural creatures. So why can your character?
So I know Devil May Cry, can I app it?: Yes! All characters are free except Dante, Nero and Kyrie. However, even they will be power nerfed if necessary. Redgrave’s magic is strong.
Plot summary: In a world where demons and humans once lived in bitter harmony, a war was led by a demon king to try to defeat the human world. While he did not succeed, the two worlds have clashed ever since. A devil hunting family, known as the Sparda bloodline, has tried to bring this balance back - or at least eradicate all demons that don’t cooperate with humans. Their partial demonic blood doesn’t stop them from this.

Recently, Dante, the most prolific of all of them, has met with an odd fate. While he’d battled someone else in a similar state, he never thought he’d end up like this himself. A demon cast its magic over him, splitting him into two forms - Tony the human, Redgrave the demon. But Redgrave is no ordinary demon. He is a king, and he aims to be entertained in his court. Standing over the wreckage of Red Grave City, he weaves his magic and brings in unique people from all over the multiverse. The goal? To make them murder each other and suffer for his benefit.

Part exploration game, part mystery and part murdergame, this game will take place over four-six weeks. The length depends on how quickly clues are found and mysteries are solved. It also depends on how quickly we get down to 10. There will be many ways to die to assist that. Don’t worry, nothing will be sprung on you without fair warning. (example: “if you proceed down this path, you may die”)

Each week, a murderer and a victim will be rolled at random and these players plus the mods will work out an investigation to be launched on Friday. Volunteers will always be taken, and may result in a double murder!
