[04 Dec 2008|02:40pm] the GAME There are signs that warn people that something lurks out there; the icy feeling in your chest, the prickling of your hair, and the feeling of being watched. The only problem is, they may not just believe it, but they know that it is true. There is a darker side to the world that you thought you knew. So be fearful of the night, trust in what you feel - for evil does exist, and nightmares can be real. The story is simple: the night world does exist where there are many supernatural races or species that have secretly existed alongside humanity for thousands of years; vampires, witches, werewolves, demons. You were told there was nothing out there to fear in the dark, you were told wrong because they are all around us hidden in everyday life, whether it is morning or night. Your teacher could be one, so could your boyfriend or girlfriend. This is what happens when humans and the supernatural cross paths and identities are revealed and forbidden lines are crossed. While many search for that eternal love that they so desperately want, many others are looking for revenge.

Forgotten Gods [04 Dec 2008|02:52pm] About / Rules / Cast List / Held / Wanted / FAQ / Resources / Apply What happens to the old gods, once their temples have crumbled and their believers have abandoned them? Do they die, forsaken, alone? Or do they remain, still wandering the world, immortal, surviving off what little belief they can gather? Forgotten Gods follows the lives of these old deities, brought to America long ago by explorers or immigrants from their homelands and eventually abandoned or lost from memory. As their worshippers moved on to new religions, the gods' powers waned - for a god, at its most pure essence, is no more than an idea, and an idea is worthless if there is nobody to believe in it. Some have passed, forgotten, from the world, while others have fallen into madness. Some have simply tried to adapt, to make a life for themselves in this place without gods, getting by on what little scraps of worship and belief they can garner. Others are more radical, attempting to regain the power that was once theirs, to revive their followings. And then there are the New Gods. Gods of cars and computers, television and radio, cities and highways, all those things that modern Americans put their faith in. They are young, at the height of their power. These newcomers are regarded dismissively by some of the older gods, who have seen so many new deities rise and fall in their time; jealously by others, who wish to reclaim the power for their own; and by all with a deep wariness. Inspired by the world of Neil Gaiman's American Gods, this game invites players to step into the roles of deities, old and new, to create their own modern mythology. Wanted: Greek: More Olympians! Especially Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Athena, Ares and Aphrodite New Gods: Alcohol, Guns, Big Oil, Hollywood, Television, Highways, The Republican Party, Fashion Industry, Radio, The Internet, Fast Food Christian/Hebrew: Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Death), Deadly Sins (Envy, Greed, Gluttony and Sloth), Holy Virtues (all), angels, Lilith Celtic/Arthurian: Merlin, Guinevere, Lancelot, Morgause Norse: Loki, Odin, Thor, Freyja Native American: Raven, Coyote, Badger, White Buffalo Woman Hindu: Kali, Krishna, Ganesh African: Anansi, Elegba Egyptian: Ra, Horus, Nephthys, Ma'at, Osiris Slavic: Baba Yaga, Chernobog, Veles, Koshchei, Morana - more! post comment

[04 Dec 2008|03:53pm] Welcome to Revolve... Man, I see...the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off. --- ( Teh Plot ) post comment
