[06 Apr 2009|09:47am] premise | rules | available | cast | apply | wanted characters Even in 2003, the aftermath of the second Wizarding War remains fresh on everyone's mind-- after years of skillful evasion, the Lestrange brothers have finally been captured, indicted on charges of crimes against humanity (along with other surviving Death Eaters, including the Carrow siblings, Fenrir Greyback, Thorfinn Rowle, and Yaxley). Kinglsey -- the acting Minister of Magic -- has worked diligently with the Department of Magical Law Enforcement to restore society to the way it was, trying to repeal the existing laws that had placed Voldemort's 'higher-ups' in power. The wizarding government isn't entirely structurally stable again, but the Ministry is doing what it can to give the country some semblance of hope. And speaking generally, people seem to be moving on with their lives. Or are they? Desolation Row is a post-Hogwarts game set in 2003, with a focus on character development and existing tensions in the aftermath of a war. It's DH-compliant, but following the events of the epilogue is entirely optional depending upon the player. WANTED: Practically everyone -- it's new, and we only have several Slytherins and Ginny so far! post comment

[06 Apr 2009|12:41pm] WTF?! RP - Not your typical Harry Potter Roleplay Setting. Rules. Holds. Application. Game Opened: April 1, 2009! Applications for female characters will be given priority. WTF?! is a 'Harry Potter' afterlife-based roleplaying game set on its own island, called Sointula. It takes some of the clichés found so often in the fandom and in 'Potter' RPs and revels in them. Four gods have set this island up so that they can observe peoples' daily lives. Think of it like a game of 'Sims' for the dead. The gods pick and choose who they want on their island for their own reasons and may or may not help people. They do whatever they want, because they can. Note, though, that there's a lot of weirdness in this game. It's not your typical 'put everybody from the canon together in one place' type of setting. Modern Muggle technology is everywhere, and everyone who shows up on the island will know how to use that modern tech. The game is quirky but not silly. There will be comedic storylines, and there will be dramatic storylines. It's all up to the players. This game is looking for creative people who are willing to work within some set parameters and explore the possibilities of the fandom's clichés. Some aspects of your character's life on the island will be set by the gods when that character is accepted. If you're not comfortable with playing things that aren't determined by you, don't bother applying. It's not a crack game, despite it's name and setting, but it's also not 'high drama, all the time.' It needs players who have enough time to give to the game to develop their characters and storylines, not those who apply to every new game that starts up and never put in any quality time on any game because their creativity is spread too thin. Characters that aren't active, or who only interact with one or two other characters, will be removed. That doesn't mean your character has to thread with every single person in the game, but you have to at least make an effort to have them talk to and interact with characters outside of those they were involved with in the novels. If you enjoy taking the canon characters outside of their comfort zones, exploring new possibilities, and you enjoy quality RP in an unusual setting, this game could be for you. If you're looking for the same old tired stuff, go elsewhere. Every character from the 'HP' canon is open for play, wizard, Muggle, or whatever, but be sure to read the Rules, Setting, Posting Guidelines, and Taken Characters & PB Lists, before applying. I'm a harsh guy when it comes to my rules. If you give me crap, I'll give it back to you. I don't care who you are, or how your popular you are in the fandom, or how many games you're in, or how many times you've played 'X' character in games, or how long you've been RPing, or if you write fanfic that makes people squeal. I don't care. Once you've read the threads, and you're still interested in applying, here's the Application. End post comment

Recuperatio [06 Apr 2009|08:52pm] Currently Casting | Casting Studio | Application | Rules | Recuperatio RPG “Tragedy blows through your life like a tornado, uprooting everything, creating chaos. You wait for the dust to settle, and then you choose. You can live in the wreckage and pretend it's still the mansion you remember. Or you can crawl from the rubble and slowly rebuild. Because after disaster strikes, the important thing is that you move on. But if you're like me, you just keep chasing the storm. The problem with chasing the storm is that it wears you down, breaks your spirit. Even the experts agree. A girl needs closure.”-Veronica Mars Seven years ago, the Dark Lord Voldemort fell, finally bringing an end to his vicious reign of power and terror. Yet, the war did not end with his death. For years, the Wizarding World has worked to repair the damages left during the aftermath of war. Emotional burdens have yet to fully heal, too many lives destroyed, families torn apart, and friends lost. Hogwarts was left in rubble, unable to reopen for years, the damage too great, endless sweat and tears shed as people worked to rebuild the foundations to give their children a future. Death Eaters still roam free, cunningly avoiding even the best Aurors, leaving many in fear that another war will be on the horizon. As things begin to resemble some semblance of normalcy, an old follower of Voldemort is in the wings, plotting his revenge, gathering the remaining Death Eaters and new followers, planning to unleash a new war, wanting to finish his master’s vision. In the Ministry, a serial killer is murdering powerful political figures, leaving everyone pointing fingers and letting things slip through the cracks. Fenrir Greyback has escaped from Azkaban, butchering countless individuals as he runs from Aurors, gathering and making new werewolves in his travels, gathering an army to strike against the Ministry. All the while, the Muggle World is at war, affecting the Wizarding World as it heightens. The world is in complete chaos. Minister of Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt is determined to rebuild the Wizarding Community into a vision of peace and has called forth some of the best Aurors from around the world in an effort to clean up the United Kingdom, determined to capture and imprison the remaining Death Eaters and send a clear message of constant vigilance to those seeking to do more harm. Many are unhappy with the Minister’s plans, many seeking to replace him and other important individuals, some willing to go to great lengths to achieve their goals. The Wizarding World is torn between fully recovering and moving forward and taking two steps back, arriving right back where they left off seven years ago. A new war is on the brink, which side will you choose? Recuperatio is a canon, non-epilogue compliant game taking place in 2005. Game opens June 06, 2009. Most Wanted: Lavender Brown, Seamus Finnigan, Angelina Johnson, Rabastan and Rodolphus Lestrange, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, Draco, Lucius, and Narcissa Malfoy, Ernie McMillan, Adrian Pucey, Alicia Spinnet, Bill, Charlie Weasley (contact mods before applying), Fleur, George, Molly, Percy, and Ron Weasley, Oliver Wood, and many others! post comment

EXOGENESIS: Alternate Universe Heroes RPG on Inksome; [06 Apr 2009|09:08pm] “Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.” - Pablo Picasso Critical moments in a species’ evolution are met with two things: birth and subsequent death. Technology may have once hindered man’s progression toward further evolution, but advances in biological science could now change everything. Daniel Linderman, a man with influence, power, and money, seeks to usher in a new age of man. Some would say that his goal is for the betterment of tomorrow— if only they knew what he was doing in the first place. For forty years, Linderman has been involved with conducting experiments amongst the general population under the guise of what he liked to call “Pharmaceutical Testing.” Hundreds of people have volunteered for these tests, never knowing that they were now guinea pigs for something that could change the world. What will the next step in evolution be? Some might say superpowers, while Linderman whispers: “You’re right.” Exogenesis is an alternate universe Heroes RPG that takes a look at the characters we all love without following any of the arcs introduced in the show. We have taken characters from canon, along with original characters, and put them in an entirely new situation and world. Discover what heroes are when they aren’t born with their powers, but are given them—and what new paths it’s possible to take along the way.

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.
