The Darwin Effect [24 Mar 2009|12:51am] The Darwin Effect Superman was an alien from a destroyed planet, Wonder Woman was a delegate of an Amazon tribe, and Batman was a billionaire playboy. Each of these renowned superheroes had untold resources at their fingertips they could call up a whim. With a half dozen abilities, or the force of an Amazon nation, or simply a never flagging well of cash, none of them ever had to really worry about their day to day lives. But what about those who possess only a single power? What about those who have to deal with the pressures of high school, of drug addiction, of a broken marriage and single parenthood? For them, life is nowhere as easy, and the sudden appearance of a special ability could possibly do them far more harm than good. There is a Company out there, a collective of both Specials and Normals, looming in the darkness. Beyond the sight of the everyday person who suddenly has discovered that they could teleport from place to place, lift a car, or heal themselves from any injury. For reasons that only they know of, members of this Company have begun tracking and sometimes even kidnapping these Special individuals. A choice is being forced to be made. Will those with abilities strive to better the world, or try to destroy it? Will those without ally themselves with the Specials, or turn against them? Possibly even, is there no middle ground? *** In Darwin Effect, the world of Heroes is not limited by what a television show’s budget could stretch to. There are no Network Executives and corporations to please, no limit to just what we can do. A fresh slate, going AU from the very first episode, a world controlled only by the players with inspiration. In mid-renovations, Darwin Effect is looking for fresh, creative new players to bring in new blood and new ideas. Players that can be continually active and contribute to the player-driven plot are desired, as well as those with a decent grip on creative writing. While the community is set to private to allow the most freedom, there is an available visitor account to allow a peek into the Darwin Effect world. Feel free to contact darwin_mod for more information. Desired Characters ・ Mohinder Suresh ・ Hiro Nakamura ・ Isaac Mendez ・ Adam Monroe ・ Noah Bennet ・ Molly Walker ・ Ando Masahashi ・ D.L.

Darkness Rising [24 Mar 2009|09:17pm] Currently Casting | Casting Studio | Application | Rules | Darkness Rising RPG Community "….Voldemort's powerful now. You don't know who his supporters are, you don't know who's working for him and who isn't; you know he can control people so that they do terrible things without being able stop themselves. You're scared for yourself, and your family, and your friends. Every week, news comes of more deaths, more disappearances, more torturing … The Ministry of Magic's in disarray, they don't know what to do, they're trying to keep everything hidden from the Muggles, but meanwhile, Muggles are dying too. Terror everywhere … panic … confusion …" Across Europe the Wizarding Community lies in fear. Voldemort and his followers are on the rise, leaving behind a reign of terror in their wake. As his numbers increase, Wizards begins to grow more uneasy, increasingly choosing to fall prey to his Empire, out of fear, unwilling to stand up and fight. In spite of the increasing danger, a small group of vigilante Wizards has begun to pull ranks, daring to do what the Ministry fears to do; fight. The Order of the Phoenix is slowly growing into a force to be reckoned with, threatening not only Voldemort, but the Ministry itself. Change is on the brink and the students of Hogwarts. No longer will they be safe behind the confines of the castle, unaware to the real dangers of the world. They will soon be forced to make their own loyalties known; a decision that will affect not only the rest of their lives, but the entire Wizarding World. Amongst the darkness, these students are potentially the light needed to give the Order the man power to take on Voldemort’s forces. As both sides fight to gain support, one question lies: which side do you choose? Darkness Rising is a canon compliant Marauders Era RPG taking place in 1978. Game opened February 1, 2009.

Endless Epitaph: A pan fandom supernatural and horror rp. [24 Mar 2009|09:51pm] The world is a simple place. It just happens to be filled with the supernatural. Demons, vampires, magic, angels, good, evil. But through it all one thing stays constant. The world is a cosmic game board between Heaven and Hell. Hell has its influence everywhere, guided by Lucifer's hand. Heaven's armies battle Hell's, while most humans are blind to the fact their existence could change with one lost fight. While Hell has it's share of demons and other evils, Heaven has its champions. It's Chosen. The war is on going and woven so deep into the fabrics of life that many of these individuals remain unaware of each other. Many think they are alone, but in reality they are not. Many prefer to work alone but there are situations that won't allow it. Through it all, beings are trying to exist. To live. To rule. The world continues on. Battles fought. Battles won. Battles lost. Heroes and villains come and go. Life evolves. Though the board can change, the game will forever continue. So what kind of person are you? Are living or are you fighting? Endless Epitaph is a pan-fandom game set in a world where horror and the supernatural are prevalent. Buffy Summers is slaying vampires, the Ghostbusters are busting ghosts, Winchesters are hunting demons, witches are hording power, and everyone is fighting to save the world, to end it, or just to get through the day.

[24 Mar 2009|11:51pm] the_next_step is an AU X-Men movieverse RPG set some time after X1. The Institute has been destroyed leaving Wolverine (for as-yet unknown reasons) to rebuild and lead the X-Men. Magneto rules in Genosha. Anti-mutant sentiment is growing and there is talk of a Mutant Registration Act among other methods to control the mutant population. A war is building. We are looking for all sorts of characters, canon and OC, as both students and staff at the school, or as citizens of Genosha and/or members of the Brotherhood. Game is in progress, barely a week old. We haven't done much in the way of plotting since we're still trying to find muns, so this is a good choice if you don't want a lot of backstory to get in your way. All pertinent information can be found on the game's profile page. post comment
