A WORLD TORN | |
Never before has there been such a period of destruction and social turmoil for both Wizarding and Muggle alike. As Harry Potter readied himself to face Voldemort a final time, there were many who felt that the Wizarding world was teetering on the brink of a golden age. Those who stood with the Order of the Phoenix longed for a period of peace and safety, free of the dark cloud that was Tom Riddle. Those who bore the dark mark prepared to welcome a new society that embraced purity and order. Both sides clinging to ideal visions described by their leaders. | |

 EMPIRE CITY Is it a dream, is it reality? Something is drawing the most remarkable of people here... beings of great power, kind souls beyond measure, hunters, demons, soldiers, and even the seemingly average. All of these individuals are being taken from their worlds and placed within this nexus of time and space, the Empire City. New York City, to be exact, present day, and those who arrive in the city limits are trapped within. Answers as to how and why will come, but until that point they are left to fend for themselves in the Capital of the World with millions of other people who don't recognise who or what they are. Will the presence of these unexpected transplants shift the power structure of New York? Will they disturb the peace or simply go unnoticed in the already-chaotic fray? Or have they been brought here for a purpose? Only time will tell. Empire City is a new multi-fandom community that opened recently. Game-wide plots and cross-fandom interaction will be a big part of Empire City, and with room for canon and AU characters, we're looking for more writers to join the madness and enjoy the hobby with us! We're small in number now, but already active and would love to see more creative minds and colourful characters. Please check out our WANTED page to see if someone you write is on the list. But feel free to bring any and all muses that would fit into this plot-driven game! |

wmhigh is fandom, Glee game focusing on the lives of our favorite McKinley students and graduates. The game is desperately in need of a few important Gleeks. They would all be showered with love and some really awesome story lines. The wanted list: Sam Evans, Mike Chang, Will Schuester, and Warblers: Nick, Thad, & Flint (we have Trent, Jeff & Sebastian!), Emma, Dave Karofsky, Chandler, Wade and more. These are roles that would provide a lot of fun for a dedicated writer.

| For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack |
| Pack Alpha |
 |
Having killed the previous Alpha of the pack, Adrian has been maintaining the pack in Amethyst city as they find themselves surrounding by vampires, witches, and other faces of the supernatural world. He isn't out looking for fights, but if challenged he'll give you one you won't soon forget. His limited precognitive abilities gives him an edge against most opponents, but he has his weaknesses. He'd love to have more of his pack in game. The Wolf's Den (a small tavern on the east end of the city) needs it's regulars and the pack it's strength. We have both the Alpha [ packalpha] and the Beta [notapup] in game, but we'd like to increase the wolf numbers! |
Peaked curiosity can check out the game over at Amythest Sanctum |

| Asheville has been proclaimed to be a "New Age Mecca" as well as "the new freak capital of the US". Most people overlook these statements made by the media, because most of Asheville's residents live there because it was named one of the top seven places to live in the US, it's location in the mountains and surrounding areas is ideal, and life moves at a slower pace in the South. For many years supernatural creatures of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds had been migrating to this city in the Blue Ridge Mountains. None of them can quite put their finger on why they were drawn there, but there was a pull that they just couldn't ignore. Supernaturals were content to live alongside humans in quiet; swaying them to the light or dark side or simply being content to live in peace. But then things began to change. During the summer of 2010 a group of supernatural radicals decided that they were tired of hiding in the shadows, and they began an uprising. The uprising brought much attention to the supernatural community; at first just in Asheville, slowly the nation and then the world. People began looking at each other in a different light as they wondered if their neighbor, co-workers, teachers were supernaturals. Things only got bloodier the longer the uprising went on, and finally a meeting of all the supernatural leaders in the area was called. They decided it was for the best if they revealed themselves to the public, and try to live in peace as they'd done for many years prior. The public cried for justice over the human blood that had been spilt and the leaders were more than happy to oblige. The rebel leaders were publicly tried, and imprisoned for their crimes. Nearly two years have passed since the uprising, and while some humans have grown more comfortable with the idea of supernaturals mingling among them others are not so content with the change. The tension never fully did go away, and those who had begun the uprising hadn't intended for supernaturals to be content living among humans - they were supposed to rule them. With each day that passes some of the humans want stricter laws for supernaturals, and the supernaturals only want the same rights that normal humans have. Some supernaturals have decided to keep their identities secret, and others flaunt their powers in order to gain respect, or sometimes fear from the humans. Something is brewing underneath the city of Asheville, and only time will tell if it's good or bad. |

Life changed in 1930 for every wizard and witch in London. Gellert Grindelwald killed Albus Dumbledore on a muggle street and rose to power. Nothing is like it should be. It wasn't long before Grindelwald extended his power to the muggle world as well as the magical world. Halfbloods, muggleborns, and even muggles live in fear. Breaking boundaries and rewriting old laws, he controlled everything he could see. Unhappy with just that, he stretched his power, spanning countries. The Class of the Chrysanthemum rose early against the dark dictator, only to be broken into factions when their leader, Cassiopeia Black, met her untimely death at the end of Grindelwald's wand. Still the Class of the Chrysanthemum fought on in factions, not knowing who to trust. It's war, but no one seems to know it. The game is set in 2001 currently. Grindelwald's is coming out publicly, eventually, with his relationship with Vlad Tepelus. The plot and arcs depend and focus on the reactions of the characters over Grindwald's decisions, his new leadership role and loyalty, and the actions he takes as a consequences that effects all. The plots also focus on relationships of current characters that unfold. Once a month, the mods plan an event for the game. Reopened March 5th, 2012! Accepting canon characters, muggles, and [magical/muggle] original characters! | |||

 Have you ever wondered what your favorite Glee character would be like if they lived in the World of Harry Potter? Well, magicalglee is your chance to find out. However, unlike other Harry Potter/Glee crossover games, we've taken the time to develop what the US Magical world would be like and how that would affect the Glee characters. What this means is, basically, Kurt Hummel is not the Boy Who Lived, Rachel Berry is no Hermione Granger and Sue Sylvester is not Voldemort. They are the Kurt Hummel, Sue Sylvester and Rachel Berry that you know and love from Glee, just with added magic! So come on by, take a look around the game, and then reimagine your chosen Glee character in this Magical setting. magicalglee is a primarily social game, looking for writers interested in character development and interaction. There will be gamewide plots thrown in from time to time (such as body swaps, love potions, maybe even a Dark Wizard or two and, most excitingly, a brand-new Wizarding Broadway Show based on the lives of the Hogwarts Founders!) that will be developed with player input and suggestions. The game takes place in 2018, putting most of the Glee characters at 22-23 years old. We will be canon through Season 3, but there is a lot of wiggle room with characterization since no one expects 23 year old Quinn Fabray to be the exact same as her 17 year old counterpart. The game is in what we'll call Beta Test Mode, so we're also looking for players who would like to have input on shaping the game and the world it takes place in. As such, we are going to limit the initial involvement to 25 characters (with a cap of 5 original Glee-verse characters and 5 Harry Potter cross-over characters), with option for game growth down the line. Official game start will be May 15th, but we won't lack for things to do until then. There will be a variety of in-character memes and opportunities to play out backstory until the official game start. Most Wanted: Finn, Blaine, Mike, Mercedes, and Artie magicalgleemod | magicalglee | magicalgleeooc |

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man. Las Vegas. America’s Sin City, where decadence is on the menu at every meal, and where every vice can be had for a price. It’s no surprise, then, that when the doors to fiction opened, they chose to do so in this place, where the fairytale lights obscure a world gone dark with desire. Here, the heroes of fiction face the challenge of their own demons. Superman patrols the skies of Metropolis. Jon Snow stands firm at the head of the Night’s Watch. Sherlock Holmes picks through London for sordid clues. Sirius Black faces the wizarding world he left behind in death. Captain America prepares for the war that is always coming. The heroes of fiction await in the Passages Hotel. They’re contained for now to the minds of their hosts, to the doors they inhabit, the worlds they dream of making better places. But what will happen when that all changes? Will your hero be strong enough to resist? Seeking Heroes From: Batman, Superman, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Avengers, X-Men, Inception, BBC Sherlock, American Horror Story. |
