A: Gothic Horror Q: But what is Gothic Horror, exactly? A: Gothic Horror is the horror of yesteryear. Dark castles on a moonless night, gargoyles leering in the corners, darksome and moldy crypts deep beneath the Earth... Q: What are some good examples of the Gothic Horror genre? A: Think classic stories like Frankenstein, Dracula, Beneath The Pyramid. Ancient and wicked ghosts, nobles utterly lost in debauchery and vice, and horrors from the darkness that prey on the innocent as they stroll beneath the gaslamps of foggy industrial cities...As well as the good and virtuous that oppose them!

The planet is dying, a great age come tumbling to its end. Wise elders that foresaw this eventuality decide they will not go quietly into darkness. A ship, fit for one, a child swaddled in the symbol of his dying race, and cast among the shoals of stars to find a new home, to carry on the name of his people... The Last of Their Kind is a classic, best known as the origin of Superman, but naturally, it's got tons more examples, some magic, some mundane. What do you think of this well-worn setup? How would you RP it? What about it intrigues or annoys you?
