Wicked's Rest
Welcome to Wicked’s Rest. We are a long-running supernatural/horror-themed skeleton roleplay in our second iteration which opened on March 31st, 2023. Stop by our discord and say hello!
Tucked away on Maine's coast lies a strange town filled with whispers of cryptids and a mysterious landscape. It’s no wonder Wicked’s Rest has become the perfect home and hunting ground for the supernatural. Most of the townspeople live happily unaware of its more sinister nature, but ever since a mining accident triggered a small seismic event, things have been getting stranger by the day. Those in the know can’t help but think this is only the start.

Name: Meredith Austen
Species: Human (Non-powered)
Occupation: Waitress at The Codfather
Age: 24 Years Old
Played By: Bea
Face Claim: Sydney Park
"As it turns out, I’m pretty hard to kill."
TW: Chronic illness
As a kid, Meredith felt trapped in the weird little seaside town of Wicked’s Rest, but it’s grown on her. She grew up in a modest house in Harborside but her home was the ocean. From a young age she spent her days running up and down the sand and rocks. It wasn’t the picturesque California beaches she’d seen on T.V. but it was enough. She was happiest when her hair was stiffened with salt. She wanted to surf and swim and sail and so she and her sister begged her parents to take them whenever they could. It would remain her safe haven in the years to come.
Perhaps like most children, Meredith grew up believing in the unbelievable. She wanted to swim with mermaids, feared monsters under her bed, and wrote letters to Santa. However, like most children, these were all things she grew out of. If you asked her she wouldn’t tell you that there was a particular moment in time when the idea of a tooth fairy became too fantastical, but she would admit that there came a point when it was simply unimportant. Kids with sick siblings don’t get to be kids for very long. They must grow up, they must be patient. They can’t want or whine, they must sit still, be quiet, wait. Sure, there were times when young Meredith was bitter about the endless hospital stays or the fact that nothing she did ever seemed to be as important as Mallory but really, she just wanted her best friend to get better.
She wouldn’t get better, it wasn’t that simple. Mallory wouldn’t just wake up one day and be cured but things did improve. Dialysis allowed her to live a pretty normal life and without the barriers of hospital room walls the girls once again became inseparable. They swam in the ocean every chance they got, even when it was freezing, and when Mallory didn’t feel well enough to run outside Meredith would paint in their shared bedroom while her sister read. Then, at age fifteen, Meredith found out she was a match. She agreed, very quickly, to give a kidney to her sister to get her off dialysis. The family was able to get court approval for the surgery, and so she became one kidney lighter.
Having a single kidney may cause some people to live cautiously, but the girls had learned at a young age how quickly things can change. They had an unspoken vow to always live on their own terms. So when Mallory got an opportunity to study abroad Meredith encouraged her through tears to go. This is what it had all been for- to give her sister freedom. Meredith stayed. She went to UM and got a degree in studio art.
Truly on her own for the first time, she moved in with a friend in college. Stevie filled the sister sized hole in her life, and they became confidants. She was wild and impulsive, but it suited Meredith just fine. After they graduated they decided to stay roommates, they even got waitressing jobs together. When Stevie suggested something of a Halloween party at her uncle’s old cabin in The Pines, Meredith thought it sounded kind of silly but she agreed. She also thought the candles and the Ouija board were ridiculous but she played along as Stevie chanted something in latin she read on the internet.
After a night of fighting like hell to survive Meredith woke up in a hospital room, a few new scars to add to her collection. Mallory said she was coming home but Meredith told her to stay, not wanting to pull her away from her life. So now with no sister and no best friend, Meredith rode back to an empty apartment. The papers called it a gruesome murder, she read headlines that felt like they came straight out of an 80s slasher movie. But she knew that the truth was whatever they unleashed in that cabin wasn’t human. She’d seen things that were seared into her mind and woke her up in the middle of the night. She didn’t understand any of it, all she knew was that she had escaped something horrible and terrifying- something that was still out there. Maybe her weird little seaside town had a lot more hidden in the fog than she ever realized.
Character Facts:
Personality: Direct, playful, loyal, responsible, stubborn, observant, sarcastic, impatient, tough
Mere currently works at The Codfather as a waitress and occasional bartender when they’re short staffed. It’s not a dream job but she makes better tips than at the diner and refuses to speak pirate.
Besides being in the water, painting is Meredith’s favorite hobby. She does occasional artwork around town when she can get a gig. She’s painted a few murals for local businesses.
She doesn’t own a car, she prefers to get around on her bike or roller skates.
Though she can come off brash or aloof at times, at her core Mere likes to take care of people.

Just like in Sesame Street, Wicked's Rest has its very own cookie monster. Cookies are disappearing from home and stores, with nothing but a trail of crumbs left behind. Some theorize its a small fae or group of them, but no one has caught the cookie monster in the act yet.
Mike's Pawn Shop has changed overnight to Mike's Prawn Shop. Mike is gone. There is a giant shrimp running the store. Reception to the change is mixed.
Introducing challenges! Complete enough in a row and claim a prize. You can read more about how they work and what prizes are available here.
This week's challenge:
Have your character use a non-heart emoji in a dash convo
Alistair is not reachable and also stop being curious.
Felix is wondering how to decorate a small place
Luci wants to hang out, and maybe see the leg, or just chill.
Vic wants to know if it's legal to booby trap a house like in scooby doo.
Zofia is curious what the rest of the leg's body looks like.
Sai can get you to where you need! Don't worry about it.
Cass says be nice to the earth.... or else.

Name: Sai Modi
Species: Vampire
Occupation: Rideshare driver
Age: 78 Years Old (Looks about 40)
Played By: Paige
Face Claim: Daniel Pudi
"Rabies has really been blown way out of proportion."
TW: Memory loss (vampire spawn flavor)
When Sai looks back on his human past, it feels like a different person. Human Sai had a beautiful wife and two children he adored. Human Sai’s greatest joy in life was walking in the door at the end of a long day. Then, in a single night, that Sai was gone. A vampire attacked him in an alleyway. She killed human Sai and left a vampire spawn in his place.
Most of his memories from that time are vague. Single snapshots and feelings. Gliding through the air, digging his fangs into a soft neck, bones snapping under his hands. And the hunger. Never-ending, bottomless, snarling hunger.
He’s not sure how long he was like that. Alone and hungry. But he remembers, at some point, he found the bats. In his new form he recognized a sort of kinship between them. The bats accepted him, tolerated him at least. They let him sleep in their caves, rest by their trees. The one thing this Sai had in common with his human self was his devotion to family. As spawn and vampire, Sai found his new family not in blood, but in bats.
He can’t remember all the things he did as a vampire spawn, but the violence must have been spectacular. When Esther, an elder Noxferatu clan vampire from Wicked’s Rest, found him and turned him into a higher vampire a little over thirty years ago, she said she’d done it because the trail of destruction he’d carved delighted her. All she asked in return for restoring his intelligence was that he be eternally in her debt. Disoriented from the return to a human-like form, he was hardly in the state to refuse.
His new life took some adjustment. He missed the simplicity of being spawn and the bat-like traits that he’d lost in his second transformation. But the longer he was a higher vampire, the more it grew on him, especially once a fellow Noxferatu clan member taught him how to compel bats. Of course, he would never force his will on them. Instead, he learned to call to them, like he would for a friend. Wherever he walked at night, his winged friends would follow. Instead of feeling distance, he felt closer to his bats than ever.
In his new form, he found there was more he could do for the bats, too. There were city officials with their names in phone books who he could call up, newspapers he could write impassioned letters to, and whole textbooks dedicated to bats. Modern technology brought him bat chat boards and bat conservation websites and connected him with human bat lovers who shared some of his goals. The more he learned, the more he saw how much they needed his help, and thanks to Esther’s gift, he was able to give it. Over half of bat species were endangered. Someone needed to step up to protect them.
Character Facts:
Personality: Obsessed, eccentric, loyal, pushy, gumptious
Sai is a rideshare driver but not on any of the apps, since his license is not entirely legally sound. He’s posted flyers advertising his services around town, “Need a ride? Call Sai!” He’s only somewhat reliable and doesn’t always answer his phone during the working hours listed on the flyer.
Sai is a one-man bat propaganda machine and is always ready with informational flyers and bat conservation paraphernalia that he makes himself.
He’s always up for doing up odd jobs here and there to pick up more cash to pay for his various bat-related projects.
He pays lip service to the Noxferatu’s dreams of overthrowing humanity when he’s around them. After all, vampires are more partial to bats, aren’t they? But the truth is he loves the modern society and technology humans have built. Vampire wouldn’t have come up with a place like Instagram for him to post all of his bat pics.
He co-founded the Wicked’s Rest Bat Conservation Society a couple of years ago, along with a human named Dave.
Although he’s been in town and involved with the Noxferatu for a few decades now, he’s only become more publicly involved in the town in the last five years for his bat conservation.

Name: Ashton Taylor Murphy
Species: Muse
Occupation: Writer / Former Publicist of Margot Fisher
Age: 95 Years Old (Looks about 30)
Played By: Lashae
Face Claim: Perry Mattfeld
"Death doesn't wait on the living."
Ashton Taylor Murphy was born to an Irish immigrant in the late twenties. She enjoyed the recounting of her family's rich and tragic history.
Her mother, Maeve Murphy, was aboard a steamship headed to America in the early 1900s, the last of her family, a survivor of what she could only describe as a massacre. The Murphy family had coexisted with humans, inspiring them to their full potential for years without harm. The hunter didn't seem to care because the human was a victim regardless of the beauty they created, the type of beauty that could move one to tears.
The States provided a vast pool of untapped potential and the ability to wade among the waters almost unnoticeably. This flexibility allowed Maeve to fall in love many times over, but never to the point of taking the life of a wordsmith. Every relationship had an end until she found herself with a child. Ashton Taylor Murphy was born in the late twenties. Maeve spoke fondly of her father, telling little Ashton Taylor about his work and reading his poems with tears in her eyes.
Maeve kindled a love of reading and writing for young Ashton. She devoured poetry and novels at unprecedented rates, and when the time came, she found herself craving more than the words on a page. Maeve explained it all to her then, which was what Ashton needed as she approached her teenage years. One rule: Don't get attached; leave before they give everything because they will give you everything if you let them. Maeve showed her how to respect and feed potential without taking the artist's life. As her mother, Ashton preferred artists who weaved their words across the page to invigorate the mind and soul to passions they otherwise could not ascend.
The rule was easy for a time. Ashton would leave one to pursue another, inspiring provocative poetry and novels. She found work as a publicist for aspiring authors and kept her residence near her mother and other muses, who banded together to preserve their charges and create beautiful works. Their aos sí was formed in Wicked's Rest.
Ashton understood the warning, but then she met Margot Fisher, a budding novelist living in the town. She radiated talent like the sun, and Ashton was Icarus in flight. Maeve saw where it was going, a spiraling disaster, but Ashton could not leave it. There were so many stories swimming in Margot's head. When she grew concerned for Margot's life, she told her mother there was only one more book, one more, and Ashton would find a way to leave her.
Instead, Margot proposed at the book launch. One book turned into another series, and Ashton found it more challenging to control her needs. After the marriage, Ashton and her mother's relationship drifted apart, every conversation ending in an omen of impending doom. Ashton would not have that negativity, though her mother only tried to protect her from the coming pain.
On October 26th, 1997, Margot Fisher passed away; she left a legacy as a best-selling author and her loving partner, Ashton Murphy-Fisher. There should have been an obituary for Ashton because part of her died alongside her lover.
It's only been a handful of years, and Ashton has yet to speak to her mother or anyone involved with the aos sí out of shame and guilt or selfishly blaming her mother for not doing more to stop her. Her mother tries to keep in touch, but it only causes Ashton to react negatively. She exists now as a shell of what once was a muse.
Character Facts:
Personality: Selfish, impulsive, cynical, perfectionist, dramatic, personable, sophisticated, confident, dedicated
Ashton Taylor Murphy-Fisher was born July 30th, She is a Leo.
After Margot's death she dropped the Fisher name and goes my Ashton Taylor Murphy or just Murphy.
Ashton considers herself a lesbian. However, she keeps charges of all identities and indulges in varying degrees of relationships with them all. The only lasting relationship was with Margot. She treats her love affairs like flickering flames that burn bright and hot for a very short time.
Ashton used to be very different. Some may remember her before Margot, those old enough to. Ashton was optimistic and loved written art, poems, novels, and lyrics. Words held so much passion and beauty. There was an apparent change after losing her wife. She doesn't allow herself to get attached to anyone now.
Ashton keeps a list of writers she has kept as charges. She sees Margot in all of them and their ultimate early demise as little more than the price of fame. Each one detaches her further from the guilt.
All charges she keeps now are fully informed, and understands the risks and agrees to a formal deal. It does a little to ease her conscience.
Ashton has distanced herself from her aos sí. She is not ready to face her family, as they had urged her against getting too close.

Name: Winter's Home
LOCATION: Oldtown
This beautiful two story Victorian home was fully renovated with the inside getting a modern update while keeping all of the charm. It sits in the middle of a quiet neighborhood, with a small gate that is always closed, wrapped around the property, a warning to most that people aren’t exactly welcome. It boasts three bedrooms, an office space, and a very large kitchen but the owner’s favorite part of the house is the widow’s peak as it overlooks most of the neighborhood and gives a nice glimpse of the ocean.
The owner’s silhouette can be seen through the widow’s peak windows at night when she’s enjoying the relaxing view while reading a good book. It’s there until the very early mornings often. Because of this, rumors have spread that the house is haunted, which is mostly true considering the ghost that never leaves the owner's side.
The widow's peak was the only part of the house that went untouched during the renovations. It kept its charm throughout the years and the owner was impressed by all of its original glory.
In the backyard, near the back edge of the property, there is a garden that will forever go untouched. The previous owner of the house was a spellcaster that grew a lot of the ingredients they used in their spells back there so if someone isn’t careful they could always come across a nasty little plant that's still clinging to life. This also lends to the rumors that something isn’t right about this house since there have been a number of neighborhood kids that used to cut through before the fence was built and have never been the same.
There are a number of signs around the place to make it feel unwelcome to most. No soliciting, keep off the grass, multiple signs for her alarm system to name a few. It’s clear that the owner doesn’t enjoy having unplanned visits from others. After a nasty incident with animal waste, cameras started to appear around the outside of the house as well. They ‘don’t work’ half the time though and the owner suspects that the company is erasing footage without her permission. It’s really interference from multiple supernatural forces and the ghosts that follow the owner around.

What’s new in town?:
The giant leg that erupted from the ground is like nothing anyone has ever seen before. Is it a coincidence that Wicked’s Rest is full of bad omens around the same time it showed up? Check out our current plot of the week of Season 2 for ways to interact!
Ring in the Spring! There’s a town picnic, a huge caterpillar infestation, and so much more in our seasonal event.
The RP is celebrating its 1 year anniversary! Check out our event post here.
With so many people flocking into the woods to see the leg, supernatural predators are taking advantage of the free meals. Aufhockers are prowling the Wormwoods, looking for those trying to get a look at the leg during the night.
The eclipse is here! From the POTW:
On April 8, there will be a full solar eclipse that will be visible to all in town. Aside from looking awesome, this phenomenon is going to have some far-reaching effects. Supernatural creatures that have an affinity with the sun are going to be feeling especially drained of energy after this eclipse, perhaps even for days or weeks. Conversely, those empowered by the moon will be feeling a little extra pep in their step! Hopefully they can control it. While the eclipse is happening, even those who don’t normally see ghosts or have any connection to the supernatural might be able to peer into another world. Surely no emotional or mental harm can come of that within 4 minutes.
Starters:
Nora Hamstring is in Ireland! And posting pics of people sleeping.
Help this banshee find Boneios.
Marcus absolutely loves the leg. It's his favorite leg. Yup loves it.
Jade needs a hug (at least 10) and maybe a couch.
Caleb(??) seems to be having some trouble recalling his name. So weird.
Mack was attacked by a pinata and needs help getting blue paint off.
Sam's store is back up and running and having a sale.
Charlie thinks this town is a LITTLE weird, but maybe he's the weird one.

Happy one year anniversary to the relaunch of Wicked’s Rest! It’s been such a fun, amazing year so far, and we’re so glad all of you here today were willing to take this leap with us and embrace it so enthusiastically! You guys are what make this place as special as it is and we wanted to celebrate you and all the characters you’ve created with a “Founding Day Celebration” in Wicked’s Rest. We have IC and OOC love to share with you all and we hope you join us in the fun.
The time has come once more for the annual Wicked’s Rest Founding Day Celebration! No one's really sure which Founding it's celebrating or who the supposed founders were but everyone's always down for a party. All kinds of activities are popping up around town but most of the action is by the Common.
Food trucks are parked all around the Common and plenty of picnics and outdoor games have popped up. The Peascake Factory has gone all out and brought two trucks. There's plenty of shrimp themed offerings across the board at multiple stands for some reason.
Viva Piñata irl lives on! The piñata's spotted earlier in the week have come out in full force and have been seen gathering together, as if plotting someone's demise. The cute, colorful piñatas have become animated and are hopping around town. Some people are ecstatic to chase them, whack them open, and get all the goodies inside. Others not so much. They might explode all on their own, too, and they aren’t all filled with candy.
There's, of course, plenty of Mysterious Leg merchandise on sale, including miniature replicas of the leg in every color. Someone even made plushies.
Club Cryptid has set up a booth nearby. They have photos of cryptid spottings from around town and are looking for help identifying and naming new ones. They're also offering starter kits for anyone who wants to come join and help them uncover the truth.
Mimes are out and about offering miming lessons. At least that's what we think they're offering. It's so hard to tell with them. Wait, did one just hinge open at the waist? Maybe it's contortionist lessons...
One of the local cults is handing out fliers declaring that Founding Day refers to the day that the the one who slumbers came to rest in this wicked place. Most of the fliers have ended up crumpled in the trash but maybe there's more to it…
As the sun sets, Resters make their way to the Whye River to send off their paper lanterns floating to the sea. During the day, there are stations to decorate them and it has become a town tradition to send off a lantern. Some people send off a hope or a wish for the next year. Others share their fondest memories from the year, hoping that the joy is spread. Some even send messages to lost loved ones with the hope that their lantern guides their way home.
Share your lantern message with an ask to the main! They can be IC or OOC (though it might be good to indicate which) and they can be anonymous or not! Share any memes or memories you've had IC or OOC and anything else from the last year you want to remember
The residents of Wicked’s Rest are what make the town what it is. Sure, they can be a little unusual or off-beat, but that’s what gives the town its charm. Most of the time, Resters accept it for what it is, but there’s one person who wants to know what makes this town tick. Lavinia Cross is on a mission to map the town’s residents and won’t stop until she gets the scoop from each and every person she can.
We threw together a little interview for you to fill out and post in character! You can copy the lead-in text if you like (and even edit it a bit to better suit your needs!!) and post it along with the interview itself! Just make sure you’re answering in character, using both action and dialogue (just like the lead-in!) And of course, this is totally optional!
Interview Prompt:
You were stopped while out and about one day by a woman dressed in clothes that felt inspired by one of those old noir detective films. She asked if you had a few moments to speak to her about recent goings-on in town. You could decline the interview, but your interest was piqued. Did she know something you didn’t? Only one way to find out.
Lavinia Cross introduced herself with a beaming smile, preemptively thanking you for your time. She then peered over the rim of her red cat-eye glasses at you, squinting thoughtfully as she tapped the end of her pen against her lips. “Darling,” she barked in a transatlantic accent fit for the old-timey screen, “I’m going to need you to be brutally honest with me, here. It’s for the greater good! Don’t worry about sounding silly. I’ve heard sillier.” She threw a wink your way and lowered her pen to the notebook in her hand, sucking in a sharp breath before launching into her first question.
“How have you changed since moving to Wicked’s Rest?” Oh. It was a question about you. Maybe she needed to establish a baseline, first? Well, that was fine. Onward with the interview!

No celebration would be complete without a soundtrack to go with it! To get the party started, we put together a playlist full of songs that make us think of our favorite town and the place you’ve helped create with us. But we can’t do it alone! We’re sharing the playlist and asking you all to collaborate with us. Add the songs that make you think of Wicked’s Rest and get you in the mood to write so we can enjoy the vibes together!
You can find a link in our discord in the #wickeds-content channel!
NOTE: Please be conscious of triggers when adding songs to the playlist. We know it’s not our typical media so we figured it was worth a reminder. If in doubt, leave it out or send a modmail to check!
