Elements
There are 3 types of category of entity elements, the common category is often refered as Hollows Category. Theres also Fear Category by Thomas R. H. Archerstone and Visions Category by Father Damian.
Elements are used to categorize a strange activity or an entity and preform rituals. although, the elements are actually not a concrete categorization
Hollows Category
VOIDThe element of the Unknown itself the void spins around the concept of what you dont know or incomprehensible. The Most common concept of The Void is "Darkness", "The Deep" and "Madness". Manifestations of this element sometimes can be creatures hidden in the dark or in the deep, shadow figures & monsters as well as beings that spread out madness.Void Rituals are associated darkness, perception of Reality, as well as communication with the Other Side and its Entities. The most common requirement for conjuring Void rituals is to focus on the symbols or your surroundings.
ETHOSEthos is the element of spirit it focuses on Energy, Omen, as well as Souls. Not to be confused with "Death", Spirit tangles with folklore like creatures and Ethos entity can be emerged or created by local rumors or folklores, estentially giving it a soul or manifesting it. Most manifestations from Ethos are Ghosts, malevolent Faesthis ritual are most likely summoning a deceased one or malevolent faes, in some cases even tampering with fates. most of uses specific offerings and always associated with the transformation of natural elements, such as water, fire, temperature, wind, lightning as it deals with more natural forces.
BLOODBlood or Flesh is the element that embodied extreme emotions such as pain, obsession, passion, love, hunger, and hate. Manifests as corpses, blood, bones, flesh-related industry. Often manifests as strange body anatomy, bodies being twisted, molded, butchered and reasembeledBlood rituals are always associated with physical and aggressive changes, with disgusting and brutal results. Some requirements for conjuring Blood rituals emphasize the idea of feeling pain, being self-mutilation, bloodshed, and use of human or animal organs.
ECHOAlso known as Mirror. Echo are estentially the reflection of the world. This element has less creature like entity but more common on places or dimension that similar to reality. These places are refered as Liminal Spaces, where everything may look real but most of them are always looping and endless. known entities from this element are usually mimicking voices, shadows or even people. Echo entities are the only entities that can manipulate analogs or digital as long as there are a face or a voice coming through the electronic decives.Echo doesnt have much known rituals but envoking a Echo ritual requires a physical object such as mirrors, an empty room that can bounce an echo or electronic devices. This ritual will take the caster or target to "Liminal Spaces" or made another "person" based on caster's target.
DREAMDream element is a pathway to the mindscape world. as it suggest, the element of dream is revolves around a person's mind/psyche. The entities of dream doesn't exist in the real world but it can still harm a person and even cause death. This element can be used to alter a reality of a person as well as past their past.The rituals of Dreams are always associated with the perception of Reality, Mind and the Dream World manipulation, in addition to any means of communication with a person within the mindscape and its Entities. An example of a ritual that allows the user to grant an effect is the Memory altering ritual, causing their target to become unable to recall certain moments of their life
Fear Category
Recorded by Thomas R. H. Archerstone. Archerstone categorize that there are entities and manifestations outside Void, Ethos, Blood, Echos and Dream. while Archerstone had many lists of encounters with entities. Thomas discovered that entity can be created or emerged by extreme fears/Phobias and Manias, and one of his encounters is mistress of the decay and diseased, Hollie Martens.
Fear category has catalysts, person or multiple people who manifested them. Their rituals are
Visions Category
Father Demian category are entities and manifestations of the 4 horsemen such as Conquest, War, Famine and Death along with other religious related manifestations. Father Damian accounts were mostly dealt with cults and demonology incidents. However, there are cases where there are entities disguising themselves as a benevolent entity that would save them.███ ███████ ████████ ███ ████████ ██ ███████ ██████ ████ ███ █████ ███████ ██████████████ ███ █████████ ████ ██████ ██ ███████ █████████ ███ ███████Visions category was incomplete due to the original journal being lost and burned.

Rituals
Rituals are occult abilities used by people with occult knowledge. The rituals have several different uses, but in general they are used to bring an advantage to the user, whether in combat or even in everyday life. All rituals have characteristics by invoking an element, and ingredients that are necessary to perform certain rituals, such as human and animal ashes, technological objects, among others.True rituals are preformed to bring a god-like entity to reality by changing the world to be closer to the essence of the Entity. if the ritual succeeds, the entire world will be reshaped in a way that reflects the Entity. example of this rituals are summoning a powerful Blood entity where cult people were thrown into meat pit and grew larger as it consumes.
(tldr : rituals that most cultist used)however, Invoking "normal" rituals are mostly giving an advantage to a person or effecting a target. example of normal rituals are The Paralysis ritual; where if preformed correctly, the user can paralyze any target for some time. invoking smaller rituals can sometimes resulted in having marks similar to tattoos.
In game, Rituals costs may vary but most commonly Magic Points or Sanity points. some of them also required spesific tools or ingredients to follow.
Artefacts
An artefact is an item with paranormal properties and is generally associated with a specific Entity. Some artefacts malevolent giving people who own them experiences that range from unsettling to horrifying to deadly due to some artefacts are used to trap an entity but some of the artefacts doesn't hold an entity but an element it self.
The artefacts are scattered in the world, some of them are sold through bids and some of them let itself passed from victim to victim. But Institutes like Eclipse manage to collect artefacts from their cases and some of them were sent in.*more will be added, constantly updating

system
Roleplay
Language and rating
Main Language will be English, although speaking to admin can use indonesian but please do keep in mind its an international rp group!With the surrounding horror theme and possible death within Eclipse Records. The rating is 18+
Platform
the platform used for Eclipse Records are FB, Discord and Roll20. Discord will be the main use of RP. FB will be used for submissions and Announcements. Roll20 is only used for Investigation RP, but Investigation RP can also be held in discord channels
Pacing
The Group pacing is quite slow. With Main Event happening about every 2-3 months with Side Event or Sub-Story RP happening in the middle where you can HC/RP and participate in Investigations.
(and mostly because i'm currently a solo admin...)
Roleplay
Main Event is expected for all members to join. Main Event sometimes will have investigation RP but not always. The submission for Main Event can be Drawing or Literature but if you already participated in RP or Investigation sessions, Drawing and Literature is optional!
Side Event is usually something seasonal or something related to the Institute where you can RP, HC, Submit drawing or literature, there will be little to no investigation RP within Side event and It is Optional to join
Sub-Story Event is an Optional to join Investigation RP and a story related to the past (example; exploring the abandoned salt lake lab in 2002) where you can play as another character that isnt from the institute. "sub story PC" require a certain material from shop, but no material from shop required for submitting an NPC.
system
Game Mechanics
Investigations/skillsEclipse Records uses Call of Cthulu (7e) system. You play as a character or Investigators and travel to areas that had strange cases in the past. every roll made must be according to the action and by using 7th Edition the roll must be lower than the designated number, More will be explained during gameplay tutorial session, The carrd will explain it in the most brief way.
Example on Investigation :GM: There are two rooms in the upstairs, one of them is a master bedroom with a cabinet desk and the other one is a room with scattered toddler toys
Ramon: /my character/ will investigate master bedroom and open the cabinet
GM: its locked. if you want to pick a lock, roll me a locksmith check
Ramon: d100<40 (result : 32). Normal Succsses! (note : Ramon's Locksmith skill is 40)
GM: Ok. Now, inside the desk you find two things of interest: a sealed envelope marked “Last Will and Testament” and a small ledger which is titled “Reports of Blue Bird asylum.” Do you want to look at them now?
Combat
Combat turn will be using Dex. so example; Pomme has Dex 40, Richarlyson has Dex 43, and the code monster has Dex 60. so the turn would be; code Monster > Richarlyson > Pomme
Investigators can choose 1 action during their turn. Attack (using available firearms or fighting skills), Fighting manuevers, Run, Other options and Rituals.
Think it like Undertale or Deltarune mechanicsFighting Manuevers uses "Fighting/Brawl" skill and treated as a way to disarm an opponent, seize or hold the opponent and Knock an opponent to the floor.
for damage, you must first roll chosen action to determine the successes. then the damage based on your weapon + your damage Bonus, Example; Luis uses Firearms and successfully shoot the code entity using rifle (2d6+4+ Damage Bonus)
example of using firearms
Sanity
When encounters the horrors of the Unknown or comes across something mundane yet horrific (such as stumbling across a friend’s mutilated corpse), make a D100<(Sanity roll). result must be below PCs CURRENT sanity
If fail, make a 1d5 to 1d8 roll to determine how many character lose their sanity points (dices depends on the scene)
If 5 or more points are lost, ask the investigator to make an Intelligence (INT) roll for the character to fully comprehend the horrors. If the character gets a roll below their INT, they become temporarily insane for 1D10 hours. The GM will give the Investigator Delusion/Hallucinations, Phobias, Mania, something traumatic or disturbing from their backstory.
example of sanity loss
example of how losing more than 5 sanity will get phobia/mania/or something from the backstory
Psychic Showdown
Some entity are intellegent enough to read your fears and insecurities. Suggesting and effecting your character's mind well being. This psychic showdown is a high-stakes confrontation, and your character's fate hangs in the balance.your character must roll an extreme success or lower than against the entity's POW/LUCK for 3-5 rounds of RP. Losing more than 2-3 rounds will lost 1d20 HP or 2d20 SAN lost.This mechanic adds a rare, intense twist to the game. Instead of fighting with weapons, it's all about a mental showdown. The result is unpredictable, and messing up can have serious consequences, reminding us just how dangerous it is to tangle with otherworldly beings in this game world.
Rituals
Casting rituals can take Time/Rounds, Sanity and MP depending on what rituals you're doing. it also requires certain places and ingredients.
Some rituals are available to study within the institute library. studying them does not cost sanity. but it does take time and weeks even to learn them (2d6 Weeks) *Ask GM if you want to study a ritual.
Other methods of learning Rituals is through another person (1d8 days) or through an entity (2d6 sanity loss)
For now only Thaumaturgist branch can preform rituals
