With a roleplay about blackmail, it's only natural that secrets are going to play a big, recurring role. For that reason, it is critically important that you keep your characters' secrets hidden behind lock and key. Secrets should never be listed in the character's public profile. Not even the character's bio. Instead, secrets will be sent directly to a member of Ghost through ecchitexts. In order for a character to be publically labeled as a victim, they must have at least one secret on record in the Ghost's databases. Keep in mind, your character can still be blackmailed as an onlooker, but your secret will have to be discovered by other means as Ghost can only sell information it knows.

In order to submit a secret for a victim, you will send an ecchitext to a member of Ghost using the following template:

Quote

 

Secret: Summary of the character's secret, try to avoid referencing other secrets your character may have.

Potential Consequences: What would happen if this secret got out? Why would this character allow him/herself to be blackmailed over it?

Severity: X/5. How badly would this character try to protect their secret?

People who know:  Who knows about this secret? Try to list each character in a bulleted list in the following format:

  • userA - Victim A
  • userB - Onlooker C
  • [Anonymous Characters]

 

 

Please try to list each secret you'd like to submit separately. We may modify your submission if we decide it should be split into multiple secrets.

------------------

As a blackmailer, your job will be to actively seek out these secrets. The easiest way to do this is to send an ecchitext to a member of Ghost requesting information on a specific character. Remember to make note of which character is requesting the information so that we may keep track of what characters know what secrets. We will tell you how many secrets that character has on file and send the secret to you. 

You may only request one secret at a time and will have to wait an amount of time before requesting another, depending on the severity of the secret.

1/5: 1 Day

2/5: 2 Days

3/5: 1 Week

4/5: 2 Weeks

5/5: 1 Month

It is important that you discuss with the owner of a victim first whether or not they would be okay with your character blackmailing their's. We may have leniency on this rule if the owner of a victim character goes inactive, gets banned, terminates their account, etc. 

It is implied that all blackmailer characters know the phone numbers and other contact info of their target victim from Ghost.

Note: As alluded to earlier, you do not have to purchase a secret directly from Ghost. You can press for secrets through direct interactions with the character, you can trick that character into doing something that you can blackmail them over, you can even completely bluff your knowledge of a secret. Any devious way you can think to manipulate another character into doing your bidding is on the table, so long as you continue to respect that user's preferences, of course.
