Oh, how we all planned on something black and white! The virtuous planned on going to fluffy clouds where angels play harps and you live happily. The darker types expected to burn in flames and be tortured for all eternity. That's what we all believed, right? Well, we were wrong. Welcome to Midian. A world within a world. Another world on Earth. Nestled quaintly under a graveyard, Midian is home to the restless, the condemned, those who cannot touch light and are shunned by society. Midian is a world of the walking dead. The people of Midian are dead and alive, virtually zombies with their own minds. Covered in scars of the past, Midians are cursed to live beneath the soil of the Good Earth and stricken by everlasting darkness. Despite being barbaric in nature, Midian is not without governing laws. Even in the Darkness, Virtue is what one must live by. There is but one rule: there is no going up. You may traipse about in the graveyard, but you may not go past it's massive gates of steel and spikes. Never, ever. Beyond those gates are where the Daywalkers roam and you are no longer of their kind. Midian is full of fantastical creatures. flowers with faces, birds with human bodies, demon dogs, hybrid humans, and creatures made of flesh and those made only of bone, all which have been here long before those who have died. Some are kind, some are cruel, some are neither here nor there. Some are humanoid and others are spirits of those long dead. Some speak, some are mute. It's up to you to find out. The landscape is everything from your imagination. There are massive treehouses, hills of monstrous proportions, trees born of beasts and trees of skulls. In the southernmost edge of the city there is a dingy, dirty staircase that leads to the cemetery. Welcome to Midian. You are now one of the Nightbreed. &JOINING + MEMBER INFO TAKEN CHARACTERS: A list of all the taken characters, held characters, players, and their contact can be found here.

[25 May 2008|07:45pm] “Things are far from normal in Normalville...” The date is June 14, 2008. The town is Normalville, PA, and with a population of 932, it has always lived up to its name. A sleepy country town tucked away in a valley of the Appalachians, it has been said Normalville is its own little world. Until two weeks ago. On June 2, the residents of Normalville woke to a small rumbling. Some said earthquake, which is not impossible in these parts, although not likely. That is, until they began to turn on the TVs and the radios. Because they no longer worked. Static on every channel, and a deadly silence where all the radio stations used to be. There was no one more perturbed than best friends Simon St. James and Mac McGregor, old buddies from the Gulf War. Staying at Simon’s house in the hills outside the town, the two friends hiked up to the north ridge and were horrified to see a large mushroom cloud in the east. A town meeting was called, where the residents discussed what they knew, which wasn’t much. Frantic, with friends and loved ones outside the town and unable to reach them, many residents of Normalville decided to venture out and see what was going on. When almost a week passed with no word, others ventured out as well. They haven’t been back, but from the tops of the valley ridges, it can be seen that trees are dying and the sky is a foreboding orange color. Using an old transistor radio in his basement, Simon was able to tune into a military radio station from a base in nearby mountains, trapped in a bunker underground. It was there that the true extent of the destruction was confirmed: almost every major metropolitan center had been hit: New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Dallas, Detroit, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle. Severe radiation from the blasts have swept the nation. Static prevented him from overhearing who the attackers were, but that the US government did fight back and destruction seemed to be “complete.” He lost the radio signal not long after. Two weeks in, Normalville is only getting less normal. Due to windpower, electricity still works, but it is faulty. The internet appears to connect only members within the town. Other sites are either dead or abandoned, with no news about what is or isn’t happening out there. The town members have begun to accept that the apocalypse is upon them. And strangest of all, in the library basement, people have begun appearing. People claiming to be from other places, other times. With the future uncertain and the landscape unkind, how are the residents of Normalville going to cope with this harsh new reality? +++ Welcome to Omega, a Dark Fantasy Post-Apocalyptic Multifandom and OC RPG.
