"Torchwood: outside the government, beyond the police; tracking down alien life on Earth, and arming the human race against the future. The Twenty-First Century is when it all changes. And Torchwood is ready."

It all changes here: Cardiff. Welcome to Torchwood Three.

Located in an underground base called the Hub and under the command of Captain Jack Harkness, Torchwood Three has the task of monitoring the time rift and phenomena associated with it, as well as securing for Torchwood any artifacts that might come through. The Rift, situated in (and above) Cardiff, stretches about five miles from Cardiff Bay.

Mission profile and operations:
» Defend Earth at any cost
» Rift monitoring and control
» Weevil containment
» Caring for rift returnees
» Reverse-engineering technology

Have you got what it takes to work for Torchwood? Or maybe you've seen the strange looking blue police box that sometimes appears on the Roald Dahl Plass?

City of Eden

[info]oldschoolrp
City of Eden


The global city of Eden is one of the leading urban areas of commerce, fashion, and entertainment. It is located adjacent to Lake Sunil and has a population of over seven million people. The politics of Eden has been dominated by controversy, corruption, and scandals. This political environment allows for organized crime to flourish, influencing many sectors of government and business, including enforcement and law. Many have tried to oppose, few have managed to leave a footprint. Though blanketed in a cloak of opulence, Eden's lower class lives in their own sort of hell. They rely on the mercy of those above and find any avenue possible (usually organized crime) to provide a level of comfort for their family.

Let it be known that no group of people have gone untouched by the corruption in the city. They see it on the news, read it in the paper, and many live it through their daily lives. Only one question remains... How will you get by?

The Void - an original scifi/horror game


[info]theneverliving
[info]oldschoolrp
The year is 2109 and humans are on the brink of extinction. Ten years ago they unearthed three obelisks from Mars and set loose upon the Earth the tide of Black, the hunger of the Never Living. One of the last bastions of humanity is the Mars colony built atop the very ruins that those relics were found within. Humans struggle against the teeming, unliving masses, the might of The Never Living and each other. Aries-II is a place where the heroes have fallen and only time will answer the question, 'will humanity survive?'. Will you be the last hope of humanity, or will you be another conduit of dark energy flowing from the Unliving Gods?

SHAKEN AS WE ARE; dystopic near-future LGBTQ rpg


[info]soshaken
[info]oldschoolrp


SHAKEN AS WE ARE
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!

[info]dual_natured wants his twin sister! Their relationship used to be rocky but since going off to college they have been much closer. Ashton is the only one that can bring Emers back on his meds (and the only one in the family that believes he is bipolar).

Professors We need some adults to keep these kids in line- or get them into more trouble!

Freshman They are under represented and we'd love to see some younger blood around!



p r e m i s e

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 to 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.

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.

Alternate University is a game unlike any other you've seen where you'll have the opportunity to sample a wide-variety of genres and deeply explore your characters development through them. The mods are dedicated and attentive and we're looking to keep the community small and tight-knit with creative writers. Alternate University has a little bit of everything for everyone! (Please note: AU is NOT a panfandom RPG and the other worlds that will be visited will be genre/archetypes.)

     No one could know what depraved experiments were going on behind the huge steel door that locked the population of Vault 24 inside. At least they were safe from the outside dangers: nuclear fallout, radiation, mutants, raiders, and the most common enemy of all, lack of water.
     Two weeks ago, without warning, Overseer Walter opened the door to Vault 24, after almost 200 years of it being closed, letting everyone within out into the Wasteland. Despite resistance, a majority of the experiments took the chance to leave as a blessing. Now they have a chance to change the Wasteland for better or worse...

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.

Vault 24: A post-apocalyptic role-play


[info]theoverseer
[info]oldschoolrp

The Capital Wasteland will never be the same!


No one could know what depraved experiments were going on behind the huge steel door that locked the population of Vault 24 inside. At least they were safe from the outside dangers: nuclear fallout, radiation, mutants, raiders, and the most common enemy of all, lack of water. The Capital Wasteland outside suffered and evolved, just as much as the test subjects inside of Vault 24 did.

Two weeks ago, without warning, Overseer Walter opened the door to Vault 24, after almost 200 years of it being closed, letting everyone within out into the Wasteland. There are still arguments within if they should be outside, but a majority of the experiments took the chance to leave as a blessing. Now they have a chance to change the Wasteland for better or worse... if the Wastelanders will give them a chance.

A dark supernatural RP


[info]akediamods
[info]oldschoolrp
Akedia
Aliens are on Earth. Not your typical, green Martian. No, slugs that can crawl into your ear and control your every move, read your every thought. And large, blue man-horses who can morph into any animal. And then there are the Animorphs... humans who have the ability to morph into animals.

New York City is a corrupt place. Even without alien invasions, rapists, murderers, and con-artists roam the streets every day. So really, Earth is screwed. A silent war has broken out. Which side are you on? Or are you just an innocent bystander?

Akedia is based off the Animorphs series, but is not in any way for children. This game will explore dark themes, explicit sexual content, violence, and supernatural plots. There will be no fluff and the ratings will be high. No previous knowledge of Animorphs is needed to play.

Game opens with 10 applications or on Aug 4th

Judoh: sci fi, steampunk, mafia


[info]gaiamods
[info]oldschoolrp
Legend holds that when Gaia, the over-mind, created Judoh, it understood that as long as the city would be led by one of their own, it would become prey to the same vices and mistakes that plagued the rest of the society. In practice, after countless years of wars and political struggle, the mastermind designed a city built to thrive in spite of the passage of time. It built over the ruins of open conflict, turning casualties of mortars into the foundations of a scintillating city. It instilled rules and regulations and brought humans prosperity in exchange for obedience.

As in the Bible, those who did not obey were thrown out of Paradise.
