    Time Event
    4:05a

    A thousand years ago, long after the Sidhe were driven underground by the Milesians people the Witches Council, a group formed to protect the humans from the Old Ones, the Fey; Their Gods, determined that the fey were too much of a risk and they gathered all the Witches in the Great Britain nation, forming their powers as one to call upon nature to even the score and they trapped the Sidhe, the greatest of the fey, the biggest threat to humans in human form. No longer able to become pure magic, most were stripped of the ability to shapeshift. They were still strong, beautiful and immortal among other things, but the binding made them nothing better than immortal witches. Strong, but not strong enough to take their rightful places that they had owned before.

    Angered and unable to do anything about it, constantly wondering if a council spy was about them now they all looked human there was much infighting for some time, eventually they decided to wait. Sit and wait. They never aged, so they moved every few years as not to arouse suspicion. The Sidhe population never spread too far, even if they left Europe they almost always moved to the same area as one another. The Seelie and Unseelie courts were dissolved, making them a stronger unit as need made old grudges foolish to keep.

    The Witches Council, though it changed and new people came as the elders died off ever kept it’s eyes open on the ranks of the Sidhe. They knew eventually there would come a time when the Sidhe will have had enough and just plain attack.

    What they didn't know was that by forcing old grudges to be forgotten by the Sidhe they merged the two courts making a stronger, whole unit as opposed to two separate, quarreling units. Even bound as they were the Sidhe were growing stronger than ever before.

    Now as the year 2008 begins the Sidhe are finally beginning to get back what's theirs in a strong way. The bindings are breaking. The Sidhe are sick of standing idle, for they are warriors after all. They want to come back into their god granted right of being the Old Ones. The powerful ones. They are beginning to stand up to the witches, witches that never knew great power from the fey and never learnt how to use it against them. The question is will the Sidhe tear up Europe along with the Witches? Will they destroy that which they protected for thousands of years?

    The Sidhe are currently in Wiltshire, England. Many in Salisbury or Avebury. The Witches Council, are as ever, keeping watch.

    AFTER THE RISING /// THE HISTORY /// THE GAME /// THE RULES /// THE DISEASE /// THE PRISON /// FAQ /// THE CAST LIST /// TAKEN/HELD PB‘S /// THE APPLICATION

    "The Rising." That's how it came to be known eventually, the day the dead began to rise from their graves and walk once more.

    It began innocently enough. Just a handful of cases located randomly across the country, of the recently deceased coming back to life. At first it was blamed on human error, the doctors must have made a mistake, what other explanation could there be? But it wasn't a mistake and it soon became clear that despite the fact that they were walking around, the recently deceased were still just that... deceased.

    Essentially harmless if somewhat disturbing to see, but with no real sentience and no other signs of life to speak of the walking dead (now known as "The Risen") were placed in quarantine and subjected to procedure after procedure from teams of doctors and scientists determined to find an explanation for the phenomena. No explanation was ever found and the number of walking dead slowly increased.

    Less than one month after the first reported case, the disease mutated.

    A careless lab technician approaching the end of his shift and thinking more about his plans for the evening than of safety was accidentally bitten while taking a saliva sample from one of the risen. Afraid of being quarantined himself he hid his injury from his superiors and went home. He should have known something was wrong when he started feeling dizzy but he told himself he was just overworked and that he just needed to relax. He thought he'd be fine by morning. He was wrong.

    By morning he was dead. Walking dead but different from the others. Self aware, though only minimally, he was governed by a hunger that could only be sated by the taste of human flesh. He attacked everyone he saw, his girlfriend, his neighbours, the mail man, the bus driver, taking a bite from each of them before being fought off. He was apprehended of course and eventually subdued but not before managing to inflict bites on several of the arresting officers.

    Within 24 hours everyone who had been bitten had also become walking dead, consumed with the same hunger for flesh, and in little more than a week, the whole town had been infected. With no one left to even try and contain the contagion, it spread quickly to the next town and then the next, spreading right across the country and then the globe like a wild fire and in just a few weeks the number of walking dead was equal to the number of living... and rising.

    That was a year ago. All that remains of humanity now are the small and remote pockets of survivors that live cut off from the rest of the world in secured compounds, ever watchful of the walking dead that surround them on all sides and hoping desperately that the nightmare will eventually end.

    This is the story of one such group of survivors.

    House of Night
    [info]houseofnight



    It’s been proven by scientists and researchers that there truly exists a race called vampyre. Defined by the blue crescent-shaped mark on the forehead, a vampyre is Marked and subsequently leaves for the House of Night to begin “training.” Some may call it ghoul school, some may call it...well, whatever they like, but no one can predict if or when a teen will be Marked. Humans denigrate and fear it, and the unlucky individuals who now have this bodacious mark on their foreheads have a lot to deal with -- a change of life, a new school, and getting used to those who share their fate.

    It seems Torchwood Four, headed by one Major Charlie Sheppard, had a minor malfunction involving Cardiff's rift. In fact, Torchwood Four is located right near Torchwood Three, or at least it was until it and its team got pulled into another universe. Which is where Lucian Devereaux comes in. It seems that he got a hold of a Time Agent's vortex manipulator in the far future and has been using it at his own pleasure. Well, until it backfired and he was sent to the present and made the rift flux, sucking Torchwood Four into it. Luckily, Major Sheppard wasn't there at the time.

    Now as for Lucian, he'd been jumping through time randomly and unwillingly as he tried to fix the vortex manipulator. During this time he realized that he'd jump from the present in Cardiff to some different point in time and then back. Along the way, he managed to bring back people with him who shouldn't be during that time, and that caused the rift to go haywire, also bringing people to the present that shouldn't be there: those that are dead, those who aren't born yet, and those in other dimensions. And so, Torchwood realized they needed to work extra hard to try and stop this and thus re-established Torchwood Four, somehow convincing Charlie to head it once more. And that is where we begin...

    Ever at the ready is a Torchwood/Doctor Who RP that allows for any character from either series (old and new) to be incorporated, as well as original characters! It takes place around the start of season two. We've only just started and we're looking for a majority of the canon cast still, including The Doctor (any of them) and most of Torchwood Three. We're also looking for bad guys and aliens to be hunted down, as well as people to fill up the other Torchwood Teams. If you think you're ready, then we're ready to have you join the team!

    We're Currently Looking for: CAPTAIN JACK HARKNESS, OWEN, TOSHIKO, people for the Torchwood Teams, Civilians, Aliens, Bad Guys, other Canon characters and more!

    The year is 1976 - a time of bellbottoms and platform shoes, disco music and embarrassing slang, burning bras and damning the establishment. It's a time of change and upheaval, where new ways of thinking are embraced by many and scoffed at by an equal amount. People are beginning to question the government, wondering if things should be done slightly differently. New kinds of music and fashion is emerging, making more conventional adults complain about the noise and wonder what will happen to the world with such a corrupt generation in the works. There is laughter, happiness, and the world is just as it always should have been.

    But underneath the seemingly peaceful world, there is a darker plot being stirred about that is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Every day, more articles come out in the Daily Prophet describing strange attacks, curious deaths, and all out mysterious events that not even the editor can smooth over to not seem interconnected. The people are beginning to wonder, putting the puzzle pieces together. The older witches and wizards are reminded of the dark time of Gridelwald from years ago, praying that history will not go about its usual way of repeating itself. All the while, the not so quiet whisper of a man named Voldemort who prefers to be addressed as the Dark Lord goes through the masses.

    Mad World is a role-playing game that takes place during the sixth year of the boys that we have come to know and love as the Marauders. We are a book canon compliant game, meaning that now that "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" has come out, we do expect all characters to abide by any and all canon that has been established by JK Rowling. We've been going strong since August of 2007, but we're always looking for more characters and players to join in the fun!

    Wanted Characters: In general, we would love to see more Alumni, Fourth and Fifth Year students, and Hufflepuffs. We have a severe lacking of them all! More specifically, we'd love to see Gideon and Fabian Prewett as Gryffindor tower is so quiet without them. Emmeline Vance - you're the only future Order member missing and the rest of the group would love to have you around. Future Death Eaters, a storm is a brewing and you're going to miss out!

    Its been months now since President McCannials was elected. Since then, life for mutants has been growing more and more difficult. Left and right, mutants are losing their jobs. Left and right, mutants are being found dead. Left and right, mutants are losing their rights, their families, their homes, their lives.



    A mutant hospital has been opened, known as "the New York Establishment of Mutantology", a testing facility for Mutantologists (that is, Mutant scientists) for better understanding of abilities, how they got them. Every day mutants are being taken into the hospital for testing, and some of them aren't making it out.



    A drug has been created, for testing on the mutants. It is believed that the drug will put an end to the abilities these mutants hold. But not all mutants are being stopped. Some are dying from the side effects (however covered up by the Government), some are getting new abilities. The effects of this drug are widely unknown.



    On November 15, 2020 - a flyer was sent out to every family in America, listing all the laws mutants were expected to follow. If these rules were not followed correctly, the mutant will be punished by hospitalization, or death.


    What do you think? Will you stand back and let this happen, or will you stand up and fight for Mutant freedom? The decision is yours

    What if the Prophecy that made Harry Potter the 'Boy who lived' hadn't been given to the Dark Lord? What if a falsified Prophecy had been passed to him instead?

    The year is 1995, When Harry, Ron and Hermione return to Hogwarts. A few changes have been made to the staff over the summer, the most noticeable being the new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor; A Mr. Tom Marvolo Riddle. His new post is widely questioned by the wizarding world; The man has been convicted of murders throughout the seventies, why would Dumbledore hire him to teach young children? Dumbledore simply plays it off saying that he has applied "twice before". That he has not been able to be convicted of anything. Mr. Riddle has, after all, been studying abroad since the 1980's, and is very knowledgeable on his subject.

    Most Wanted: Luna Lovegood, Ron Weasley, Percy Weasley, Remus Lupin, James Potter, Cho Chang, Lucius Malfoy, Peter Pettigrew, Bellatrix Lestrange, Slytherins and Death Eaters!

    tesseract || its || tesseract_ooc

    Tidbit of the Premise:
    Lysander, during his readings through the journals, discovered the story of a Fourth Hallow and with the reluctant help of Hugo and Albus began the search for it. Little did they know that the Fourth Hallow was with them all along. When Hugo Weasley first left for Hogwarts, he had been given a present that his father hadn't received until his seventh birthday. It looked like an ordinary watch. There was nothing spectacular about it and it had been in the Weasley family for ages.

    The boys were outside near the Great Lake, Hugo swinging the watch idly in his hand when his cousin Roxanne (or Roxy as he thought of her) set off one of her father's latest inventions on the boys. In Hugo's attempt to get away from the billowing and smelly smoke, the watch struck rock and popped open for the first time in centuries. There was a rip in time and space; a tesseract.

    The Lowdown:
    In this game not only can you play the epilogue children and acid babies from JK Rowling's notes and interviews, but also any character who may have died during the books. The children are sent back in time to the year 2000 and become stuck there with their parents even though their parents are of the same age. The Tesseract causes the dead to come back to life and no one knows how to stop it. Jumble that up with a release of prisoners from Azkaban and you have holy plot batman. We already have obscure hard to find characters cast like Dolores Umbridge, Gellert Grindelwald, Minerva McGonagall and Marietta Edgecombe!

    Most Wanted Characters Include:
    Albus Dumbledore, Fred Weasley (the second), Lucius Malfoy, Narcissa Malfoy, George Weasley, Peter Pettigrew, Bill Weasley, Fleur Weasley, Fenrir Greyback, Pansy Parkinson, Daphne Greengrass, Draco Malfoy, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, Lavender Brown, Padma Patil, Frank and Alice Longbottom, Rodolphus Lestrange, Rita Skeeter, and many many more!
    6:44p
    Most Wanted:
    Aberforth Dumbledore, Arthur Weasley, Bellatrix Lestrange, Blaise Zabini, Colin Creevey, Draco Malfoy, Eleanor Branstone, Ernie Macmillan, Hannah Abbott, Hermione Granger, Horace Slughorn, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Lavender Brown, Lee Jordan, Michael Corner, Penelope Clearwater, Peter Pettigrew, Rabastan Lestrange, Rodolphus Lestrange, Susan Bones, Viktor Krum... and MANY MORE!

    The year is now 2003 and everything in Wizarding Great Britain is not as it should be following the death of Voldemort. The celebrations and dreams of the Wizarding populace have been tempered by the reality of a shattered economy, age-old prejudices, and a world that is struggling to recover from the short and terrifying reign of the Dark Lord. Nevertheless, there are whispers of a place steeped in hope and wonder, where innocence and imagination are untouched by the ravages of war…a place of lore and legend, where once more, people can dare to see past the reality of a shattered existence.


    In this paradise, the dead have come back to the land of the living. This Nirvana beckons you now… Do you dare to dream? Will you answer the call of Annwn?


    Ask yourself this: Do you want to be a vital part of an RPG that is more than just commonplace and routine? A place where a viable plot exists, one in which characters and their players can participate as much as they want? A world that your character can make his or her own? Then Annwn is the place for you… Answer the exciting and mystical call of Annwn Anon!
