praeter via archival [15 Dec 2008|10:23am] Premise | Cast | F.A.Q. | Storylines | Holds | Application Over twenty-five years have passed since the "strange" and "indescribable" events had occurred in the small town of Hollow Creek, North Dakota. The aftermath of foolish games and uncontrolled power left many scarred, few dead and a demon bound to an object, never to be released. With the passing of time came the next generation of those involved in those events. Spread out across the nation, and even across the ocean, no one ever expected that history would repeat itself hundredfold. The summer of 2010 was one of curiosity, new experiences and definition of oneself: it brought together a few young adults in Hollow Creek and the areas surrounding it to form a coven. Past objects were found tucked away in the storage of the town's church- a plethora of books, notes and essential items one would need for witchcraft. And again with the foolish, unknowing acts of children, the past was released in the form of a vengeful demon. Now, in various parts of the country, people connected to the events are being hunted down by the demon and those that wish to follow it. The supernatural world is in a stir over the awakening, while those clueless to the past watch as their reality is tipped over with their own discoveries and the deaths of their loved ones. archival . praeter . realis histoire . socialnet . librarium Praeter starts December 19th. post comment

Forgotten Gods [15 Dec 2008|02:56pm] 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.

Especially Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Athena, Ares and Aphrodite New Gods: Alcohol, Guns, Big Oil, Pharmaceuticals, Hollywood, Television, Highways, The Republican Party, Fashion Industry, Radio, The Internet, Fast Food, any drug gods Christian/Hebrew: Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Death), Deadly Sins (Envy, Greed, Gluttony and Sloth), Holy Virtues (all), more angels/demons Celtic/Arthurian: Merlin, Guinevere, Lancelot, the Morrigan Norse: Loki, Odin, Thor, Freyja, Skadi, Hermod, Sif, Tyr Native American: Coyote, Badger, White Buffalo Woman Hindu: Kali, Krishna, Ganesh African: Anansi, Elegba Egyptian: Ra, Horus, Nephthys, Ma'at, Osiris, Hathor Slavic: Baba Yaga, Chernobog, Veles, Koshchei, Morana Japanese: Amaterasu, Raijin, Susanoo, Izanami, Izanagi Australian Aboriginal: Rainbow Snake, Bobbi-Bobbi - more! post comment
