And in Obsidian City, love tends to carry a gun.
Welcome to Obsidian City where the sun never shines, the crime never sleeps and love never dies.
A dark city in all sense of the word, Obsidian City is lucky to see one day of sunshine. If the city is dark at night, it isn't much better during the day. Too much smog and cloud blocks out the half decent light that struggles in between the skyscrapers. People make do though, possibly a little angrier than those who live under the undivided sun, a little more miserable, a little more hopeless. This is no city for the weak, and it certainly isn't a tourist hot-spot.
Obsidian City was never a shining city on the hill, it was built and born as if already crumbling down. Beneath the heavy, dark clouds that rarely seem to let up, lies a sprawling mecca of theft, corruption and greed. It really is no wonder that in such sunlight starved streets, there is little light to be had in the city’s inhabitants. Each jewel-named district hardly lives up to its name: The Ruby District, a self-sufficient community of its own, ruled by whores, who are the law. The rich are safely tucked away in The Onyx Towers, far from their poorer brethren, the utterly impoverished who languish in the Ivory Narrows.
Outside of The Ruby District, where the only laws are their laws, it is not the oft corrupt and always under funded police force that holds the most sway in the run of Obsidian City. No, the city is divided up and controlled by three major crime families, in close environs that seem to speak of a constant threat of war between two or more of the ruling families.
The Russians led by the Petrovskii Family, from their base of operations, Duma, an upscale nightclub known for its beautiful women and for the illegal deals made in dark back rooms, lord over the Diamond District. The Irish led by the O'Donnell Family, from the Irish pub that the first O'Donnell to come to America founded, long ago, loud and busy and full of their history, control the Emerald District. The Italians led by the Pavoni Family, from their Italian family restaurant in the center of the Topaz district, and come with as much flourish and ceremony in both their illegal deeds and their lifestyle.
The Families are not the only ones that the populace should fear, as there have been recent whispers that there is a serial killer preying upon the inhabitants of the city, lurking in the shadows and bringing death with them.
As if the population of Obsidian City didn't have enough on their plate, they now need to look over their shoulder at every step.
And so do you.

It all started with a card game.
God, Jesus, Satan, and the Holy Spirit were sitting in Purgatory, enjoying their monthly card game when someone mentioned that the sins and virtues weren't playing all that nicely together. To some degree, of course, this is expected. How could anyone expect Charity to get on well with Greed? But they had a job to maintain balance in the world. And they weren't performing. So the four came up with what they thought was a smashing idea.

| To Be or Not to Be, a Harry Potter post-DH RPG. |
[13 Apr 2010|08:53pm] |
 |
| It is May 1998, and Voldemort is dead. A whole new world of opportunities awaits. There are studies to complete, friendships to renew, and a world to rebuild. This is the time for witches and wizards to make their marks. The options are virtually endless. |
 |
| Family and friends are dead or badly injured. Hogwarts is partially in ruins, the previous year a virtual waste. It may not reopen in the autumn. The Ministry is likewise disorganized and scattered. While some see opportunity, others see only the tragedy, and no end in sight for the pain that comes with it. |
 |
To Be or Not to Be is a Deathly Hallows compliant Harry Potter RPG that picks up right where the books left off (pre-epilogue).
We will be 75% player modded, which means that you will have a say in where the game goes, and in making important decisions about plot and characters. If you are a player who enjoys really digging into a game and making it your own, this is the place for you! Participation in player-modding is required so that everyone shares a bit of the work. |
