Hey there!
I'm here to pimp out ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) galleont, a present-day game that centers around Curse-Breakers in the Harry Potter universe. It's about the Gringotts Curse-Breakers and their coworkers as they jetset on missions across the globe and make their way up the career ladder.
So why should you join?• DIVERSITY. This is one of the few games where you can app a foreign character without the Mary Sue/Gary Stu stigma. In fact, we're all about exploring different cultures, ethnicities, types of magic, nationalities, languages, &c that go beyond your basic Gryffindor v. Slytherin dynamics. Think of all the awesome POC PBs you can use! We have Curse-Breakers, managers (yes, managers are people too!), Healers, security personnel, translators, and interns from over 30 different countries and a balanced gender ratio.
• ADVENTURES. Did we mention that your characters will be going on missions? We've got people going to Egypt to retrieve the Book of Thoth, getting stabbed by knives to get the Sword of Fragarach, treasure hunting across Russia for the lost Fabergé eggs, and escaping the wrath of wild animals in the Galapagos Islands. You know you want to indulge your inner Carmen Sandiego. And with so many mission opportunities, every player gets at least one character selected for a mission! And missions can go wrong, so you'll have your element of surprise and chance to determine your characters' successes.
• INTERACTION. Galleont has a set of amazing, funny, well-written, complex characters with an array of wonderful backstories. There are plenty of opportunities for social interaction, from our current Staff Development Week to fancy galas. We're super lucky to have a bunch of talented writers on our crew, all of whom are incredibly friendly, skilled, and easy to plot with!
What I'd love to see:• Healers -- Curse-Breakers aren't perfect, and we need Healers who can patch them up when shit hits the fan. Our Healers have such a diverse range in personality; we've got everybody from grumpycats to ice queens to slackers to pranksters. You know you want in.
• Translators -- We need our polyglots to help guide us when the characters travel aboard! After all, we don't want anybody speaking the foreign equivalent of Doge (MUCH LOST, SUCH STRAND).
• Interns -- Where are the bright-eyed, bushy-tailed newbies at? And as an intern, you do more than just fetch coffee. You actually get to accompany your fellow coworkers on missions, so it's not your typical internship.
• Academic-types -- We have a lot of people with extensive field experience, but what about the natural indoorsmen? Paging all the Indy Joneses and the Hiram Binghams! Anybody who'd rather do the paperwork than risk their neck on a dangerous mission abroad? We've got a place for you!
• Banker-types -- Some people are just working at Gringotts solely for the money. Are you one of those Curse-Breakers who cares more about acquiring treasure and $$$ than going on adventures or learning how to dismantle curses?
I know the game looks large and we're into the world-building stuff, but we don't bite! If you have any questions or concerns about getting settled into the game, please drop us a line. :) We're open to whatever's floating your RP boat, so if there's a concept you're itching to bring to the game, go make a hold! If you want to ask us anything, feel free to hit up our email at galleontly@gmail.com.
We hope you'll join us!
