Crescendo [02 Dec 2011|12:29am] The Game The year is 1981. Voldemort is still at large. The Order is hunting down Horcruxes. Sirius Black isn't in Azkaban. The Potters aren't dead. And The Longbottom's are nowhere near being admitted to St. Mungo's because of those damn Lestranges. Why not? Because we decided to throw canon out the window and re-write the story for ourselves and it's been one Hell of a story so far and it's only going to get better! Over at Crescendo, we believe in letting you, the writer, determine where the plot goes based on character interaction and plots, so literally anything can happen. We believe in giving you the freedom to let things develop naturally, instead of trying to force your characters into a small box to make things work with what happened in the books. We've been open for nearly six months and we don't plan on going anywhere, so come on over, take a seat, and drive the plot a bit to see where you can take us next. Current Events Not only is Voldemort and his loony Death Eaters causing problems for the Wizarding World, but there is a serial killer that is making everyone nervous. Katherine Rosier is doing all that she can so Millicent Bagnold will be recalled as Minister so Voldemort can take over. Alecto Carrow seeks revenge for the murder of her brother, Amycus, at the hands of Mary MacDonald and Marlene McKinnon. Most of the characters are in hiding and hating it, leading them to come up with creative ways to kill Voldemort, not to mention, the Order knows about the Horcruxes thanks to one Regulus Black, and they've already destroyed one all because the Lovegoods are B.A.M.F.'s and they need to find the rest! The Players We're currently seeking dedicated writers who are interested in character development, participating in game-wide plots, changing canon through their actions and interactions, and truly exploring the 'what-ifs' of the HP-Verse that canon ruined for us. Coming Soon Bellatrix Lestrange is going to attempt to kidnap the Minister for Magic and impersonate her, but not to let Voldemort take over, but because she wants to be in charge, clear her name, and finally have the 'right' side in charge. Voldemort on the other hand wants Bellatrix and Rodolphus' child dead, the attention back on himself, and to find out how in the hell these damn babies are supposed to defeat him. Regulus Black is about to be tested in a big way, someone is going to be forced to take the mark, and the serial killer will be revealed! After a failed attempt to kill Alice Longbottom, of course. And poor Marlene McKinnon is about to pop out Severus Snape's child. But in order for these things to be as kick-ass as we want them to be, we need a few characters. Our most wanted characters are: Lily Potter, Xenophilius Lovegood, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Cassidy Longbottom, Michael Brown, and a whole bunch more! Not to mention, poor Regulus really needs him someone to drag him out of that damn closet he's hiding in.

[02 Dec 2011|09:37am] Return to Paradise Lucifer and Michael have been sealed, thanks to Dean, a little help from Bobby, and a bit more from the father they had thought was dead. Life was restored to the planet, although those who were lost in the end still remained such. Sam and Adam were spared from the depths of Hell, and it's still unclear how, or why, or what did it. Either way, time lines are still a little messed up. There are still two Castiel, and two Deans. Adam is still alive, and the family is whole again. The only one missing is Mary, and Adam's mother. But that isn't the only thing that's wrong. Sam hasn't been the same since he was pulled from the pit. He hadn't forgotten what Dean did, and he definitely didn't let it go. Dean still did what he did, and now he'd taken away the angel he'd been bonded with for the last three years. Above all else, both Heaven and Hell have been left leaderless. In Heaven, Raphael is attempting to claim the throne. Though his plan didn't go exactly the way he wanted, both Lucifer and Michael are out of the picture, and that was all that mattered to the arch angel. While Hell is up for grabs, there is one brave demon attempting to stand up and claim himself king- Crowley. But the battle isn't over. Not all of the angels want Raphael to be the ruler of Heaven, and not all of the demons believe Crowley has what it takes. Meg is one of the demons trying to step up her game, and gain the followers she needs, while Castiel is being beckoned by his brethren to stand up and make things better again. Who will win? And what will the others choose? Only fate can decide. This is NOT an SPN only based game. Any and all fandoms are welcome and cross over is encouraged. There is often more than one minor plot going on at the same time as the large plot. We are very happy to accept any plot ideas, and will gladly put them into play. Just ask! ~ Premise ~ Application ~ Rules ~ Taken Characters ~ Wanted/Held

[02 Dec 2011|11:34am] This adorable guy is one Frank Longbottom.  Frank is the perfect gentleman.  Of course, he was raised by Augusta Longbottom, so she kept him in line from a young age- but, really, Frank likes being chivalrous.  True gentlemen are a dying breed, and he's proud to uphold the tradition. But right now, Frank just really misses his Alice.  You know, the Future-Mrs-Longbottom?  Future super-BAMF-Auror and future mother-of-BAMF-Neville?  That Alice.  Of course, they're just students right now (Frank is a 7th year Hufflepuff), but it's all got to start somewhere, right? Come check out Confundo, if you're bringing an amazing Alice or anyone else- we'd love to have you! post comment

[02 Dec 2011|12:54pm] WHAT ROLE WILL YOU PLAY IN THE WEDDING OF THE CENTURY? The battle did not go according to plan, and Victoria was outraged to find out that her numbers were no longer in tact. She hadn't set out on that journey only to fail, and when brought face to face with one of her many enemies, she fled the scene with Riley into seclusion. Time to regroup was all she needed in order to succeed, but would it be enough? And though it was a victory in many respects, this wouldn't be the end of her vendetta against the Cullen clan. What if James had never really died? What if there was someone waiting in the wings for the Cullens to disperse and collected his ashes before he was completely turned to nothing but dust? He spent the months biding his time, and watching Victoria's actions from afar, amused by the lengths she would go to to avenge his murder. Unbeknownst to them, he tracked Alice, Bella and Edward all the way to Italy, keeping his distance all the while. With Victoria at a desperate point to bring down the Cullens and the Volturi offering to help despite their own turmoil in their inner circle, will James ever let his existence be known again? Or will he continue to simply observe the going-ons around him? And just how will the Quileutes react to the idea of Jacob Black being the rightful Alpha male? Now that a war is about to begin, what side will you choose?

Metempsychosis: Rebirth of the Gods [02 Dec 2011|01:29pm] What We Are We are a tightly-knit mature-themed (18+) modern-myth game, played out on InsaneJournal forums since June 2011. What We're About 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. What We're Looking For We are seeking mature players with excellent writing skills, preferably with mythological knowledge, to join our group of friends. We are especially in need of Celtic, Hindu and Judeo-Christian figures to join our pantheons. Many figures remain open!

(R)evolutions: A Superpowered Town RPG [02 Dec 2011|04:56pm] High school: the best and worst of times - especially if you can move things with your mind, shoot fire from your fingertips, or lift up a car with one hand. Welcome to Tranquility, Pennsylvania, just another ordinary small town in a post-evolutionary world. Tensions are running high as, one by one, the powered students are outed and the anti-powered sentiment strengthens. It’s been thirty years since the Powered People’s Protection Act was passed, yet the world is still filled with discrimination and hatred, and in a small town like Tranquility, things don’t change unless you force them to. One thing is certain: revolution is coming, and sooner or later, everyone is going to have to choose a side. PROFILE | PREMISE | TAKEN | WANTED FAQ | POWERS | TIMELINE | MODS post comment

[02 Dec 2011|10:14pm] 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?
