THE YEAR IS 2059. Mandatory genetic screening has been in effect for over sixty years.
Every day, all over the world, children testing positive for the genetic phenotypes associated
with homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality are removed from their parents and relocated
to walled-off sub-districts of major cities by the global theocracy. Families are destroyed, lives
irrevocably altered. Within the Districts, LGBT individuals are governed by a set of restrictions
and privileges bestowed based on their socioeconomic status. Some are apathetic, some despair,
some are even reasonably content -- and some are angry. Very angry. Maybe it's only a matter of
time. Sure, most of the populace is complacent, but echoes of dissent are popping up everywhere
these days. Some of them aren't afraid of doing what it takes to be heard. Where do you stand?
With the silent, downtrodden majority? With those who believe that working from within the system
is the only way to defeat it, that small victories will eventually add up to the big one? Or are you
with the hardliners, the rebels, the ones ready to set the world on fire to get their point across?
SHAKEN AS WE ARE is a referral-based LGBT rpg set in a dystopic, near-future
Chicago modified by more than a hundred years of alternate history. We're a small, relaxed
game with an emphasis on community feeling, well-developed characters, and good writing.SHAKEN AS WE ARE is holding open registration from Oct 30 through Nov 8!

Fact: 1 in 1,000 people has a natural immunity to the Fury Virus. That means in the world 6,706,999 people are immune. 30,382 in the US. 4,301 in Colorado. 2,506 in Denver... In July of 2012 a pathogen that came to be known as The Fury Virus was released by a cult of religious fanatics who believed they were destined to do so in order to bring about the apocalypse. Their goal was to purge the Earth of sinners, people unworthy to stand upon it. Only the righteous would remain, those that had earned their place in the new world. Everything did not go according to plan. The virus was uncontrollable. No continent, no country, no city was spared. The infection spread everywhere, mercilessly and indiscriminately killing saints and sinners alike . In the end, only a small percentage of people were left alive, but they were not the righteous. They'd simply won the genetic lottery, blessed with immunity and cursed with the burden of watching the world fall apart around them. Then there were the others, another small percentage of the population, who didn't die from the virus. They were changed though. Changed into beings made up purely of madness and rage. They killed without thought or hesitation. Those that survived the virus without succumbing to madness were now forced to fight for the lives they were trying to rebuild. The creatures, those that were changed, were called Eaters, due to their insatiable appetite for living flesh. One group of survivors made the drive up Mount Evans, to the University of Denver's Meyer-Womble Observatory, away from the packs of Eaters that roamed the cities and the plain. There, they started a new life, building a new home known as Haven. For the last eight months, they've worked tirelessly, building walls to keep their new home safe. What they can't make or grow on their own, they raid from the mostly empty city of Denver. The Eaters still come, roving bands looking for flesh to sate their hunger. The residents of Haven must fight for their lives and work together to survive. | ||

Definitely not... They're the ones who are all around us, part of a last thread holding the end back. They just don't know that. Yet. Welcome to Eidolon City, a place of the highest heights and the lowest lows. Where crime and corruption are more commonplace than morality and decency. Where figures from humanity's collective unconscious roam the streets, playing their own roles in events. We're looking for players interested in a game that's something different from the norm, an altered take on a lot of different concepts. We've incorporated fairytales, mythology, literary figures and dreams, putting them into a noir setting full of mafia families and corrupt city officials. If anyone has any questions, ask here! Anything else? Email us at: eidoloncity@gmail.com |

|   In the year 2010 the world was plagued by the full effect of Global Warming. No country was spared and no one could imagine the speed in which it came. Within months entire cities were underwater, drier than deserts, or completely leveled. Thousands died and there was no end in sight. Many lost hope until 2020 when the Eden Project was founded. The Eden Project was a last ditch effort by the human race. Surviving scientists came up with a chemical, a gas called 'Eden' that would hopefully cool the atmosphere enough to put a stop to the catastrophes happening around the world. Slowly but surely the temperature began to drop and the storms slowed. In the time between the beginning of the storms to the launch of the Eden Project, the world population had dropped from nearly seven billion to a little below five. It was another six years before the effect of the 'Eden' chemical was known. It began in 2028. There were suddenly less children being born and by the end of 2029, pregnancies stopped all together. The men and women of the world were now completely sterile. It was soon discovered that the Eden chemical was the cause of the sterilization, that the one thing that had saved the world had also doomed it to an inevitable ending, the population destined to dwindle down to nothing. The same lab that developed the Eden project has been working for the past nineteen years to reverse the devastating effects without destroying the now near perfect atmosphere of Earth. The Fruitful project was a serum, a cure that reversed the sterilization but only in people below the age of thirty. The Global Government is taking a drastic step to increase the population. The Governments of the world began to administer the serum by administering it to everyone as a vaccine at doctor's appointments. To further insure that the population will continue to grow and to 'usher in a new era of life', a global law has been put into place. A marriage law. The Fruitful Law. Every healthy, non-married person between the ages of nineteen and twenty-nine are to be married, whether by choice or by Government selection. The couple will have a one year period at the most after their marriage to conceive. The Fruitful project is for the betterment of our world. Who will be your match?

Despite this, both Hogwarts and Salem Institute are open again and offering exchange programs to older students. But when the peace of both sides is threatened, Potters and Halliwells will have to unite wizards and witches everywhere under a common cause. Is the fight against true evil enough to close the magical gap that has existed for hundreds of years? | |||

ALTERNATE UNIVERSity PREMISE It was a quiet day on the campus of E. Paul University as Professor Reed experimented in his lab below Verne Hall Dorm. The teachers and teachers assistants that were a mere floor up and certainly the students living in the numerous floors even above that had no idea what was about to happen. But when Professor Reed's experiment turned horribly wrong seemingly everyone was affected. The tear in the dimensional fabric of the universe sucked those who were in the building into it's vortex dropping them into an entirely different time and space. Now those who were affected must band together survive the shifting of their world and the new cultures and experiences that await them before the next world is the end of them all. HOW IT PLAYS So, you say, how does this game work? The tear in the fabric of the universe will happen roughly one week after the start of the game. The characters at that time will be pushed into an alternate reality where they will have to adjust to new social and cultural climates. What will this mean for you? We, as mods, will give a description of the alternate universe that you will be playing in and you will have to understand and play with the stipulations that universe brings along. In some cases universes will call for a particular social hierarchy (such as the jobs on a pirate ship or the class system in the Renaissance) and for these situations the mods will roll a dice (yes an actual dice) to assign jobs/classes. The idea is that things are always changing and that the characters have to adjust (or not adjust and maybe lose some marbles along the way) and that we're always playing fresh situations- so one month you may be the captain of a space ship and the next you may be a peasant scrounging for food in the Medieval England. Roughly once a month we will post a vote for the upcoming world shift and you as players are welcome (and expected) to vote for and/or suggest the next AU that we play in. Despite the movement of game time (which will be in "real time" according to our world, though the years will change depending on the AU) the movement of time in the original universe in which EPU exists will be moving much slower. Characters which are new to the game after the initial shift will start by walking into Verne Hall and suddenly find themselves in the AU that the game is currently playing in. As we shift worlds, your characters will gain ghost knowledge of where they are. Despite the fact that you play, say, an art major, if we shift into a space opera AU you will have an innate/intangible understanding of how to perform your job as the ship's captain or as we move into a fairytale village you'll know where you live and that the strange elf in your house is in fact your husband, while still being entirely self-aware as well. The use of NPCs will be greatly encouraged in this game as each world will come with a new set of people surrounding you. Ask your fellow players and mods to play NPCs for you or if you have an idea of a character you want to play briefly, then let the mods know. Note: For some yet-unexplained reason the blackberries that the school issues to students and faculty members seem to work even in worlds where there are no towers, though only on the school network. This means that your characters can post to their IJs and text each other- but only each other. There won't be any phone calls from home, any emails from your girlfriend across campus, and your friend's page isn't going to show Joey-from-History-Class. ARE YOU...? Are you tired of Harry Potter, X-Men, and Twilight? Do you want to try a sampling of different time periods and genres? Maybe you just want something new or love throwing your characters into AUs as much as we do! Alternate U is a community that values creative and friendly players who are interested in character development and trying something new. (Please note AU is NOT a panfandom RPG and the other worlds that will be visited will be genre/archetypes.) |
