As the hearts of mighty civilizations rose, fell, and their influence shifted westward, so, too, did the divine epicenters of the deities they worshipped. Even the gods, demigods, monsters and mortal heroes fell subject to the same ruin, and were thrust into the cycle of rebirth and placed at the mercies of warring powers older and more powerful than they ever were.
Now, each of these ancient seats of power (Asgard, Olympus, Avalon, the Third World, Waset, The Garden of Eden) lies hidden somewhere in the United States, each calling to its respective divinities. The figures themselves, now all born into mortal human bodies, must rediscover these epicenters, and in doing so, uncover their powers, reclaim their ancient seats, and restore their ancient and rightful glories.
The path will not be easy, however. The powers they once wielded have been diminished in their human forms, but they are still awesome enough to elicit both wonder and fear from the ordinary citizens around them. Many obstacles will stand in their way, and they are still subject to the ongoing battles of the ancient and mysterious forces that have created this situation. They will have to rely on each other to become the faces of divine power once again. |

| High School Superpower Game |
[28 Aug 2011|08:14pm] |
I'm in the game ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) r_evolutions, a town game focused on the local high school. Most, but not all, of the inhabitants of the Pennsylvanian town, Tranquility, have powers. The premise of the game is here.
I play Adam Fox doubleparked, the high school's security guard and father of two boys. He's a happy-go-lucky child at heart who takes bribes from students who want to break school rules without getting in trouble.
I'm looking for Adam's wife, youngest son, and younger brother in particular, but I have more premades up for him here if interested.
I'm Laura and you can reach me at boykyuubi@aol.com via email, or boy kyuubi through AIM. I'm very flexible with those premades, so if you have any ideas at all, even if they differ with what I've written in the premade forms, feel free to lay them on me.

| Pax Letale: Gods Reborn |

PAX LETALE: GODS REBORN
In Southern California, there recently opened a new luxury apartment building. Impeccably designed, impossibly convenient, ideally located, Pax Letale is the sort of residential Shangri La where Southern Californians spend all manner of favors and years trying to secure a spot. But Pax doesn't have a waiting list, nor can a place there be bought or sold. The people who find their way to Pax Letale belong there.
Every tenant of Pax is a reincarnated deity whose worshipers are by and large long dead. Once very real, these gods began to fade as science and reason dispelled the probability of their existence. Reborn as mortals, their essences remain, waiting to be awakened. Somehow, sometimes one by one, sometimes in groups or pairs, these creatures of destiny have discovered Pax, and have not been able to resist its pull.
For at Pax Letale, the awakening has begun. As these gods rediscover themselves and each other, the seemingly invisible but ubiquitous management tracks each of them quite closely, and the very building itself seems to have an agenda of its own. And as the gods made humans in their own image - or humans made them in theirs - so will the the behavior of the people of Pax turn as dark as their myths. Blood, strife, sex, petty plots, torture - even murder will wind their ways into Pax Letale.
A lovely place. A peculiar place. A dangerous place.
Available Tenants:Enki is the Babylonian god of water, crafts, intelligence and creation. Twin of and best friend of Ereshkigal, goddess of the Underworld, he is often seen as a positive foil to his brother Enlil, utilizing his magic and cunning for the good of others; he brings aid to deities and humans alike, serving as a rare masculine nuturer in a chaotic and often oppressively patriarchal pantheon. He will likely have connections to Tiamat, Ereshkigal, and other Sumero-Babylonian deities. Brighid is the Celtic goddess of the forge, inspiration, compassion and creativity, and a patron goddess of artists, craftsmen, and other creative types. In her mortal life, she may have connections to her parents, her siblings, or any of the Celtic pantheon. Masauwu is a Hopi deity sometimes called the Skeleton Man, Keeper of Fire, Spirit of Death, and the Master of the Fourth (present) World. He is depicted as a dark-skinned man wearing a mask; sometimes the creature beneath this mask is described as handsome, sometimes as a disfigured monster. Connections to Native American deities and gods and goddesses of death or enlightenment are likely. ADDITIONAL AVAILABLE TENANTSDon't see a tenant that interests you? Other deities and pantheons are welcome - pick one of the active pantheons in the game, or talk to a mod if there's one you don't see, and make your modern god as you see him/her/it.Holds and applications are being accepted for all available pantheons.MODS | RPG | OOC | PREMISE | AVAILABLE | RULES | CHARACTERS | |

| Generation Justice RPG (DC Universe) |
[28 Aug 2011|09:03pm] |
 | A group of kids.
What do they plan to do when they grow up?
Save the world.
And they start now.
Welcome to Earth-28, a fictional Alternative Earth very similar to New Earth, except that all the Justice League's kids (even those who prematurely died/grew older/don't exist in current canon but do exist in canon!Elseworlds) coexist, are about the same age and are on their journey to become heroes.
With group narrative roleplay, as well, as fun side stories, we explore what it means to be a child, and have super powers.
Characters from the DC Universe are welcome.
Superheroes' kids are especially welcome.
Original Characters are also welcome, as long as they don't mess up with canon too badly.
Join the new generation of justice now!
