If you’ve been living under a rock, allow The Prophet to clarify the fact that the world as you know it is at war. Since the beginning of the year 1979 your coworkers are no longer to be trusted; neither are your neighbors, your friends, nor even your grandmum sitting with that beady look in her eyes over her knitting. There is a call to arms and a race to fill every seat within the jostling Ministry of Magic, some desperate struggle for power on the edge of a gleaming city that exists only in the minds of the disillusioned. As the clock ticks away the minutes of an unraveling time, more are dying, magical and muggle alike. Take heed, youthful pioneers of a world burning to the ashen ground! Set forth and lament the losing’s, reap the ruptured, or comfort the condemned.
Your character will be given a number, one that might be drawn at random in order to facilitate plot within the game. Each week this will determine whether they are kidnapped, given a Ministry position, contract memory loss, or are senselessly tortured for information they may or may not have. The list goes on. Chance however, is the only mistress in which you can find unwavering loyalty.
This is an AU Marauder era game set in a war zone. The Order of the Phoenix and Death Eaters are struggling for power within the Ministry of Magic. It is a race against time with the pendulum swaying precariously between two very different futures. Trust no one but yourself. ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) numbering ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) numeri numeros

BITTER SEASON
put your hands together
for the end of the world
| |
The end of the world came not with ice; it came not gently, it came not quietly. The end of the world came with flames burning to the intensity of the sun. The end of the world had been the product of man's greed, of their hubris and their insatiable thirst for war. A hundred arrogant men, a single war, and a dozen atomic bombs set off simutaneously world-wide – it was the perfect ingredients for a disaster, and so came the end.
Little more than thirty years have passed since The War. Out of the ashes of destruction rose the World Government, heralding as the new protectors of a ruined earth. Cities were rebuilt, people brought together. It would be a new time of peace, they declared. No longer would humanity have to fear wars and suffering, no longer would they be subjected to such torments ever again. As with all things, however, it was a promise too good to be kept. It was a promise they would be forced to break.
But humanity never changed. It is the most basic of instincts to defend oneself, and so in the ravaged lands the newly-formed Government didn't pay attention to, it was exactly that: kill or be killed. The Wastelands quickly became a kingdom of carnage, ruled over by deranged survivors of The War who had or wanted little to do with the ever-changing world. They became known as Raiders, and they preyed on other survivors foolish enough to wander unprotected into their lands.
Coupled with the existence of such Undesirables, the Government faces a new threat: a rebellion. Led by one of their own, The Rebellion has forced the World Government into a corner. Out of desperation has the Government tightened its hold over its citizens, doing all they can to appear more and more appealing to the masses everyday. But as time passes and more people are made aware of the Known World's secret happenings, the question begs itself:
When the world comes crashing down, on whose side will you stand?
❦Bitter Season is a post-apocalyptic original roleplay game set in the near-future. We are a community of serious writers, of those who wish to create a unique character and take advantage of the world the moderators have created for you. This game is not for those who are easily disturbed by elements of gore, rape, incest, and torture. However, that said, this game is also not for those who are only looking for those elements in a game. We are plot-and-thread driven, using the communities as a means for our characters to communicate with one another rather than base all interaction solely on "the network." For more information, visit our website. What we're looking for: Government-affiliated characters and Villagers. |
