Brief Description of your game: X-Project is an X-Men movieverse RPG on Livejournal. Set after X2, we've been running since May 2003 and use a combination of in-character journals and email/IM logs. There's a number of settings for a range of play, whatever your preference, and while we accept new characters we strongly encourage people to adopt one of our orphans.
Link to Game Information/Application: Applications can be found here. Please read the previous history of the character before applying. A test log with the mods will usually be required, and we'll ask prospective players to communicate with players in the cases of significant relationships with a played character (eg: If you want to app Jeanne-Marie Beaubier, you'll be asked to ping Jean-Paul's player, to ensure continuity). See the FAQ on Applications for details.

| Seattle; Drop by Drop (Original fantasy/supernatural creature roleplaying site) |
[13 Sep 2011|03:30pm] |
We just started a new (totally optional!) storyline for the month, so this is a great time to sign up and get in on the action!
Seattle; Drop by Drop is an urban fantasy/supernatural site, set in modern day Seattle. We've got a wide variety of playable races, from witches and necromancers to vampires and lycans, and several completely unique races like the Viri, who are winged humans, the Idimmu, refugees from other dimensions with colorful skin, wings, horns, and more, Shapeshifters, who come in several varieties; animals, reptiles, plants, and even a class who can shift their gender. And we just unveiled our newest race, the Deasura, who you might know by the name 'mermaids', but I can assure you, these are far from the cuddly disney versions you know.
We're a friendly and welcoming site, active but laid back. We've got a lot of great things for members, from a 'Searching For' section to a Player Adoptions section, writing challenges, diaries, and more.
Our plot is basically member driven and open, but we also have monthly, site wide storylines that anyone can get in on.
There's no word count; we have a variety of players who post anywhere from 120-1500 words on average.
And our apps are short! Just basic info like height, age and weight, with a focus on the history.
We believe in letting people have choices, whether it's using a celeb/musician/stock model or a custom made 3d model for their playby, or writing in 1st or 3rd person. We have the Sub Accounts mod, so we let players choose whether to use an accounts-per-player style or an accounts-per-character style linked to a main OOC account.
We're self hosted, but don't let that intimidate you; it's a very user friendly board software, and because it's self hosted, you won't have to worry about downtime or shutdowns. We use BBcode and html,and we are very newbie friendly, and we'll walk you through anything you need help with! We're also very laid back, encouraging members to register and hang around getting to know people rather than demanding applications be posted the minute you join.
So please give us a look, and if you have any questions, please catch us on the cbox!

Vampires around here don't sparkle.
A hundred years ago, supernaturals 'didn't exist'. They were figments of your imagination, things that went bump in the night and tall tales that you told your children. Not anymore.
Supernaturals were in hiding, laying dormant and blending into the background in order to protect themselves, but during WWII, the need for their abilities became so great that hiding was no longer an option. The government had long been aware of the existence of supernaturals, and when Hitler was killed or died and the accounts of the death were so unusual they couldn't be explained, people started asking questions. Keeping supernaturals under wraps became impossible and so the different races of supernaturals exploded across the lands. Just like any other minority, supernaturals weren't welcomed with open arms. Many were persecuted and some even killed for being 'different'. There was segregation and hate crimes and many churches labeled being supernatural an abomination before God. Supernaturals had to register with the government and were prosecuted if they were found without their registration cards. Many supernaturals went back into hiding.
During the sixties, however, in the height of civil rights and love, peace and harmony, being supernatural didn't seem so bad in the grand scheme of things. There were vast civil rights movements and eventually laws were passed protecting supernaturals the same as other minority groups. Still, not everyone accepted people who were 'different'. Many supernaturals migrated to areas where they were more widely accepted.
Some may have moved right next door to you.
In Toronto, Ontario, Canada, moving into an apartment with a new roommate might mean that you're sharing a living space with a werewolf. Or maybe your son's new kindergarten teacher is an elemental. Or that girl you have a crush on in Algebra just might already know because she's a telepath. Things are still a struggle when it comes to acceptance and not everyone is happy about the path that the world is taking towards equality.
Where do you stand? Which side will you take?
