Chaos Theory: it all cycles 'round again [18 Mar 2008|11:54am]

It's a modern-day world with modern-day people but some of those people are positively ancient...

Think of any long-gone deity from mythology. Imagine they once truly existed. Now imagine that they aren't truly gone but instead their essence lives on, is reincarnated inside of that guy who sits next to you on the bus every day. Or Maureen from Accounting. Or maybe even you. They could be anyone, young or old, male or female, any race, anyone.

The old deities once existed, once walked the Earth, and mortals trembled at their names. Long ago, they each slowly faded out, their existance only remembered as fables and tales. During this decline, one deity gathered up and called upon his or her last reserves of power and influence to create a reprieve, of sorts, for them all. They would find their essence, their souls if you will, not dissipated amongst the matter of the Universe but instead reborn inside a mortal body. They would be mortal, yes, their power would be greatly diminished, yes, and they might not even remember what they once were, but they would at least exist.

"Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come."

--The Oath of the Night's Watch, A Game of Thrones



The War of the Five Kings and its subsequent aftermath saw to Prince Tommen Baratheon, in all his youthful pliability, being crowned the rightful King. Meanwhile, Daenerys 'Stormborn' Targaryen from across the Narrow Sea dissolved the unrest in Slaver's Bay and prepared to make true her long awaited ambitions to sail into Westeros. It was not long before the news spilled into Westeros, whether by ravens or by spies and messengers. The mysteries surrounding the identity of Robb's heir notwithstanding, fealties were sworn and allegiances shifted as the West scurried to side with either the House Baratheon or the House Targaryen in anticipation of the Great War That Never Happened. Indeed, the Stags and the Dragons had been a blade's length away from the first blood spilt when the Wall gave. In spite of the fierce efforts by the Night's Watch, under the joint command of Lord Commander Jon Snow and Lord Stannis Baratheon, to keep the Others--and wights--at bay, it was simply not enough. Even as Wildlings lent reinforcements for the Watch, those who had been quick to dismiss the threats from the north soon learned that the Starks' warnings of old had not merely been fanciful tales as originally believed.

A temporary truce was declared by all sides of the impending battle for the throne, and the Others were once more driven back by the combined forces of men and dragons. The war that was placed on hold was reignited with barely a moment to breathe, the first strike hitting hard and fast for those still reeling from the War of the Frozen North. For them, the story was just beginning . . .

( It is now 908 AL. )

"They live in a secret world, hidden behind the veil of lies and misconceptions. They look like us, talk like us work, eat, and sleep all in the manner like we do. But they are not one of us. They are dark and evil, and it is up to us to stop them. If we fail, who knows what the fate of humanity might be.

But I know one thing, for all that I am able to do, for my part, my soul, my family and their future, I will not rest until I send every last unnatural, unholy creature to the depths of hell they came from."

Jeremiah Valdon, Vampire Hunter and Protector of Humanity.



Not Honest is an original Supernatural RPG that is just beginning and looking for creative and mature RPers. The focus of this game is not just the supernatural, but the world around them - the humans who move about in the world without knowledge of what lies beneath. Must be 18 to play.

    Twilight of the Force ;; A Republic Era RP [18 Mar 2008|10:34pm]

    Photobucket

    Twilight of the Force

    It is an era of unrest for the Republic and the Jedi Order. It has been seven years since the Trade Federation invaded the peaceful planet of Naboo. The Republic is slowly falling apart at the seams as Separatist groups begin to assert their power in a growing number of systems. The Jedi have been called upon by the Republic to maintain order but already their numbers are beginning to thin. Conflict after conflict is taking its toll on the noble order and dissent over the morality of using force to keep the Republic together has even begun to show within their ranks.

    The Jedi Council has done its best to keep the Order together. Despite the heavy burden laden on them by the Chancellor and the Senate they have continued their operations as usual. The Jedi continue in their role as guardians of peace and justice throughout the galaxy. How long they will be able to manage, however, is in question. The Virgillian Civil War, the Separatist Crisis and eventually the Clone Wars loom on the horizon. Worst of all, the Council has no chance to predict any of this. Their ability to sense the future has become clouded - a serious omen which lays heavily on them.

    The future of the galaxy is unclear. As a members of the Jedi Order and the Republic, it is your destiny to discover what the future holds.




    Twilight of the Force is a Republic Era RPG beginning half way through 25 BBY. It is currently canon compliant with the intention of breaking into an alternative timeline during the Clone War era.

    The game is a grab bag of structured missions and unstructured roleplaying as well as character journals and other plot devices. It's a brand new RPG and we want it to be very interactive for the users so a lot of things are open to suggestions and community involvement.

    If you're interested, please, click on the image above and look around the site. We look forward to your application and getting to know you better.

    We hope to begin the game on April 2nd, 2008.
