Welcome to Boston, Massachusetts! The year is 1880 and the city is beautiful and bustling, dubbed by our friends across the pond as "The Athens of America". We are known for our first-rate architecture, our profitable harbors, and of course our academic and artistic prowess.
Not all is well in Athens, however. A vicious moral watchdog group, the New England Society for the Suppression of Vice, is searching to make an example of its first victims of strict censorship. Its branches have already devastated the lives of hundreds of artists with jail time or worse. The ashes of thousands of books and canvases litter their wake. The phrase "Banned in Boston" is their disciples' battle cry.
What stands between these brazen devils and the decimation of free speech? A fledgling guerilla group founded by art students of the esteemed Grantmore University. They call themselves The Brotherhood of New Athenians, awakened to a world of injustice by one extraordinary art history professor. His position as their messiah is threatened when the Society takes notice of his teachings and begins to close its jaws around him, vowing to see him rot in a jail cell forever.
If the Society was not enough trouble, the Brotherhood is rivaled by an enemy group in England who will do anything to see them fail. They are students of Dartingale College and call themselves the Dartingale Five. Years prior they made waves with a shocking submission to the Grosvenor Gallery, sending tremors through London. They want to be the only ones to receive so much acclaim, and the Brotherhood is beginning to step all over their toes.
With the world against them, will the Brotherhood succeed in their mission to free Boston, save the professor, and go down in history as legends? Or fall to strife and temptation and be forgotten as fools?
You be the judge.

As a celebrity, one never knows who is watching and what could be turned into top notch tabloid material. Once you've hit the big time and gained celebrity status, then you might as well kiss your privacy goodbye! Everyone wants to know all about you! Why? Because everyone knows that the lives of the rich and famous are far more interesting than anything else. In this community, that's exactly what will be played out. It's the lives of the rich and the famous- the good, the bad, and the ugly. The idea is simple. Just create a character that is a celebrity in some way- an actor, singer, author, photographer, etc... You've seen a tabloid! You get the point! Unlike most faux celeb PB communities, however, we're open to all types of celebrities, including journalists, trust fund babies with famous parents, Agents, and those who are famous for reasons that most of the world can't remember.

I'm reposting this one more time before I start working on the community.
*Would anyone be intrested in a community with witches, vampires, hunters, and maybe shifters? Hunters go after anyone thought to be a witch and there may even be a small paranormal divison in the government that would watch over the supernatural. The government may even hire gifted agents to investigate paranormal crimes.
[Know the Anita Blake series? Think of a society "kinda" based on that]
Other supernatural species will be allowed in the game since it seems that right now not many other communities will allow certain ones even if they aren't all powerful.
Okay, so with the rough sketch... Anyone interested? If so, do you have any suggestions?
Thanks.*
Question: Would you rather the setting be strictly Manhattan, Upstate New York, or all of New York? [Yes, I'm a native New Yorker. Lol]

What if the town you lived in was filled with the supernatural? What if your next door neighbor was a vampire? How about a werewolf as your 4th period English Teacher? And that girl at the super market? Yeah, she can read your mind.
Welcome to Mysteria where the strange is normal. In a town that was founded by supernaturals, it's generally accepted by the humans that live there that their neighbors are...a bit eccentric. Everyone has a secret here and what happens in Mysteria, stays in Mysteria.
Mysteria is an original rp set in the supernatural/paranormal genre. We are a game with original characters in an original setting. We are not a fandom game but if you like shows like Supernatural, Hex, Reaper, Charmed, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Ghost Whisper, The Dresden Files, and Moonlight or movies like Underworld, The Covenant, Skinwalkers, Blood and Chocolate, Van Helsing, Constantine, Blade, and other horror movies, or books by authors such as Jim Butcher, Laurell K Hamilton, Kelley Armstrong, Kim Harrison, and other paranormal writers, then Mysteria is for you. We are character development focused with character and group plots encouraged. Major plot lines that will affect the game as a whole are given by the mods and all characters are welcome to get involved.
We are looking for players that are looking to have fun while developing their characters and plots with others. Supernatural and human characters alike are needed. Characters of all ages are welcome, but players must be of 18 years of age due to violence and mature content that may occur.
What we have to offer: friendly mods who are there for you and keep you informed; character development and plots; game and group wide plots; characters from every age range; friendly and awesome rpers who are always up for a storyline; no weekly adds, once you're approved we get you added so you don't have to wait to get started!
Open Since November 12, 2007
Currently accepting applications

Does any one play Stephen Moyer as a PB? I would love to have him as a psl for this girl. He would be a Faux-celeb, but more Play-by for the storyline I would like to have for them. If interested comment here or PM this journal.
