Hi!
I wanted to invite you to join an established
Mature Panfandom Role-Playing Forum.
The Story:
A madman has returned from the Afterlife, determined to complete his interrupted mission and goal—to seek revenge on those who had wronged him and eventually take over the world. Discovering a time machine known as the TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimensions in Space), this madman managed to wrest it away from its owner, intent on using it to achieve his goals. What better way than to travel back in time to change history or forward to learn from the history yet to come, satisfying both needs? Imagine the glee he felt when he discovered this amazing machine could also travel through space, opening up all sorts of possibilities… But first things first. The vast universe could wait until he had taken care of Earth.
The technology was alien and unfamiliar, borne from a knowledge not yet achieved upon this world, but would soon give him access to those things as yet unheard of to make his takeover easier. Despite his high intelligence, mistakes were made in learning how to control the great machine, and he found himself remaining in place, but that didn’t deter him from his goal. He merely revised it. Instead of going to them, he would bring those he sought to him—so much easier in the end, anyway. Once he managed to unlock the secrets of the TARDIS, the machine was rigged to be activated remotely with the push of a button. Oh the power to be able to bring anyone he wanted from anywhere in the world! From any time! Even the most insignificant person of the future could have the information he sought, and if they didn’t….well, they had just become a pawn in this chaotic game.
A chaotic game of revenge and power. Power over everyone’s life. Even the Grim Reaper had no say in this new world, since they could simply be plucked from a time before they lost their physical form. However, three days must pass before they could come back. This was known as the Law of Return, and was under the discretion of the Man in Charge. With the push of a button, a person could be brought back anytime this maniac chose. If he chose to bring them back. There were always those that weren’t worth the effort of even the push of a button.
However, things began going horribly wrong even before this new world could be brought into fruition. There's no rhyme or reason to things now: The TARDIS has begun to malfunction, upset by the toying with it, and although it's still under somewhat tentative control, it has started to pull people in randomly, without the need of orders. People not just of this world, Earth, but from all over the universe with very different abilities, and thanks to the TARDIS’ time travel capabilities, two versions of the same person along different points in their own timeline can appear. Normally a dangerous thing, but thanks to the tampering the time machine suffered, it can nullify the effects of the meeting of yourself. Even the Law of Return has been corrupted—no longer truly under any control—the TARDIS now deciding who comes back and when and if.
The only thing it can’t nullify is the insanity now plaguing this world. A world that had suffered purges and mass killings, false imprisonment and torture of its citizens. Torture that could lead to death—again and again and again…. Finally into this madness came the realization to stop. That all the pain and revenge and retaliation weren’t worth the price that would have to be paid. What was the point in mass destruction when those who had become important to him could be caught in the slaughter with no guarantee of ever coming back thanks to him? The madman declared a truce, appointing the heads of those who had once opposed him to a council to help maintain the truce as he stepped down and dropped out of sight, never to be heard from again….
This is the world you find yourself in. A world that had been brought to the brink of insanity, only to appear to be snatched back at the last minute. Yet the madness continues. The TARDIS is still unstable, the Law of Return still corrupted, those in the seat of power vying for control over everything, yet getting nowhere, while the one who started it all starts to fade from memory as those who find themselves confined to this world try to lead normal lives while hoping to one day return to theirs.

 DEPARTMENT OF MAGIC |
|
|
NEW YORK CITY, NY. 1959
In 1959, the state and security of the nation has never been of more importance. Foreign dangers threaten to wash up on American shores from all sides. Wizards and witches of the United States of America find safety and security in the promises of the American Department of Magic, centered in New York City. Here, the nation's bravest wizards and witches join the ranks of an elite unit - the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. The DMLE has the trust of the country, to protect and serve from anything that threatens the wizarding way of life, as well as protect those wishing to harm or compromise the safety of their muggle countrymen.
But with the changing decade come changing issues, raised stakes, and problems brewing not only overseas, but from within the very country the DMLE has lived and died to fight for. The stakes have never been higher, as the dangers stack up from internal and external forces. Will the DMLE continue to hold the weight of the country nobly and bravely on their shoulders, or will they crumble from the pressure?
Is failure an option? Not for America, and not for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
The Department of Magic is an AU HARRY POTTER GAME, taking place in NYC in 1959, and is looking for Aurors, Hitwizards, and other DMLE personnel, as well as those working in the American Magical Library. We're a plot-heavy, driven game interested in worldbuilding and exploring a whole other side of the wizarding world and culture away from Harry Potter's home at Hogwarts.
Game begins March 31st!
