Welcome to Hawkins, Indiana – a small, sleepy town with secrets darker than the woods surrounding it. This is your story. A story where the line between reality and the unknown fades, and the ordinary collides with the supernatural.

Set in the hauntingly nostalgic backdrop of the Stranger Things universe, this roleplay invites you to step beyond the veil of the everyday and into a world where the Upside Down is real, monsters lurk in the shadows, and the fate of the town may rest in your hands. Whether you’re a curious student at Hawkins High, a government scientist hiding classified truths, a brave teenager caught between two worlds, or someone entirely new—your choices matter, and your presence changes everything.

So… who are you? What’s your name, your age, and your identity in this twisted mirror of the 1980s Midwest? Are you a local who’s lived here all your life, or someone new who just rolled into town with baggage no one can see? Are you ready to face what hides in the dark? Or will you uncover secrets no one was meant to find?

Before we begin, give a snapshot of where you are and what’s happening around you. Are you riding your bike home under flickering streetlights? Wandering the eerie halls of Hawkins Lab? Or huddled in the Byers’ living room as the Christmas lights begin to blink a message from somewhere beyond? Which characters—canon or original—are in your orbit? Friends? Foes? Perhaps something... else?

This is more than a game. It’s a dive into a story where every interaction can ripple through the fragile balance between two realities. Choose wisely. Speak boldly. Survive if you can.

Let’s begin your journey in the world of Stranger Things. The town is waiting for you. And so is something else.
