On December 26th, 2009, the cruise ship Nausicaä set sail from Miami to Bermuda on her maiden voyage.

In the months beforehand, 100 lucky people from all over the world won themselves a ticket with a budding cruise line, Odyssey Lines. Some entered themselves, some didn't - though it was explained that a friend, family, or co-worker anonymously submitted their name in a contest. To all winners, it seemed like a dream come true. An all-expenses paid New Years celebration in paradise. Plane tickets to Miami, and home from Bermuda were included.

The Nausicaä was set to arrive in Bermuda on January 4th, 2010. That never happened.

On New Years Eve, a terrible storm hit them at sea, pushing them off-course and sending them deeper into the Bermuda Triangle. All outside communication with the world was lost. Satelite devises, such as tracking, died. Compasses began to spin. Cell phones stopped working. They were lost at sea.

On January 2nd, the Nausicaä turned what was presumably East, knowing that eventually they'd hit something. This, too, never happened. Though direction was never altered, the sun rose and set in a new position every day.

Crew started disappearing. The captain kills himself. The Nausicaä is lost in the Bermuda Triangle, its passengers left to fend for themselves.

Will you survive?

Oblivion is a brand new, original-character game, newly opened! We have friendly, experienced mods, and an ever-growing player base happy to plot! Don't miss your chance to be there from the beginning!

WELCOME TO HARMONY.

You can’t remember how you heard of this place, yet, here you are. You can remember where you came from. Maybe you’ve come to escape. Maybe you’re running from your past, your enemies, your friends, or maybe even yourself. Maybe you just want a new chance, a new life, a change of pace. Maybe you didn’t come for yourself. You came for your family, for your significant other. Maybe you came to find someone you have lost.

Maybe you didn’t come here on your own at all, and someone else brought you here. Perhaps for your own good, or maybe just to get rid of you. Maybe they want to try and change you, for better or worse. Maybe you came from a different time, place, or existence, and when the offer was given to come here, you couldn’t say no. Perhaps you were given a new lease on life, literally, a chance to do it all again. To do it all right.

No matter the reason, you are here all the same.
This place seems true to its name. Low rates of crime. Pleasant weather, beautiful landscapes and architecture. Starvation, unwanted unemployment, homelessness, war; all of these are virtual unknowns here. You can build a whole new life, if you want to.

To get in, you had to go through an interview with a man that called himself only ‘The Doctor’. He doesn’t expect money, or payment, or some kind of incentive for accepting you. All you have to do is listen.

And you find yourself listening. Perhaps enraptured, perhaps skeptical, perhaps hopeful. Perhaps impatiently or against your will. But you listen all the same.

This ‘Doctor’ offers you wonderful, fantastical things: a path back into life when you are long dead; an existence you couldn’t have in the place you came from; ways to make yourself a new existence from the body you once had; to heal you; to bring you back to your best age; to let you start over.

Or even to make you forget.

Some part of it tempts you. Your curiosity might get the better of you, or your need for a change. Your need to forget. Maybe all of it tempts you. This place is so different from where you have come. A chance to live life again, to live a life you never could have had without this place. A chance to turn back from your past and start anew.

He slides the paper towards you, and it states in clear, no uncertain terms, that there are rules to this place. They don’t seem to like much to ask to some, but to others, these rules might be detrimental, or even terrifying.

Many have walked away from those rules, unbelieving that this man could do any of the things he promises. Unbelieving that this could ever change anything, or that things would ever be better.

But you didn’t.

You read the rules, you weighed your options. You knew that signing this document might not be the best plan, but whatever your motivation, you sign your name at the bottom. Maybe you signed it almost instantly. Perhaps you took it with you home, to dissect it, try to find the loophole. Maybe someone signed it for you, forcing you to this fate. Perhaps you had no choice but to sign, unless you wanted to return to the place you already knew, or perhaps even to your grave. Maybe you signed it, fully intending to break the rules the first chance you got.

But eventually, you took that pen and signed that paper, for better or worse.

And that is where your journey begins.

Welcome to Harmony; a newly reworked, year-running panfandom RPG. Where you are given the chance to relive, relearn; realize the dreams you could never reach. In Harmony, not everything is what it seems.

But don't worry – you can leave at any time.

Dark Obsidian - A Noir Game [23 Apr 2010|01:13pm]


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.

The Order, a Harry Potter RPG [23 Apr 2010|09:58pm]

Characters


Timeline
It is Friday, the 30th of June, 1996. Only a week ago, Voldemort's return was made public. Some have known for months (or even years), but for others the news comes as a shock. How will the general population handle it? What are Voldemort and his Death Eaters up to?

Most importantly, what is the Order of the Phoenix doing to stop them?


Rather than revolving around Harry and his generation, The Order focuses on the adults of the world on both sides of the war. It is 99% canon compliant through Chapter 2 of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. (See Premise for details.)

Any character who has finished Hogwarts is available for application, but we are especially seeking Order members and Death Eaters at the start. Original characters are an option for already approved players.

Game begins Friday, April 30!
