So, a disclaimer, of sorts; at first glance my site seems a tad on the inactive side.

This is due to two factors; some IC stuff, solos/challenges/etc is non-visible to guests, and two, it's just been a slow summer. They happen, we've all dealt with slow time periods, and summer is notoriously one of them.

BUT, we have about 5 members who have been around 2-8 years, are well established and enthusiastic and WILL plot with new members and are looking for people to plot with, as well as a small handful of newer members looking to get their feet wet, once we get some enthusiastic new blood. (Which means you!)

That all said, we JUST unveiled the first part in a MAJOR expansion to the site, which will be taking place over the next 2 months. This phase included a brand new race, writing challenge, new vampire 'Master of the City', and one of our most unusual races coming out of the Closet. This coming week we will be unveiling another race, challenge, and a few other goodies, so check back!!!

Genre wise:
We're an Original Supernatural RP, we have an open plot but in depth modern lore; all the races have their own write ups, cultures, etc. Not to the extent that you won't be able to jump right in, more so to explain their existence in and effect on modern society. We have a lot of fun stuff to do IC. The regular rp stuff of course, then Solos, writing challenges which are, basically, a solo post with a 'theme', from music that inspires a post, to something about the characters past, a moment they regret or think of fondly, and our favorite, the In Dreams challenge, a guided challenge that explores various scenarios in a dream format and is without a doubt the best character development helper on the site. We also have IC games, and an IC Cbox that's a loose bar setting.

We also have occasional storylines, which run with a sign up, and feature a handed out 'plot' or outline to get everyone into it. These have ranged from absurd (Body swapping/turned into animals/gender swapping/etc for April Fools, flowers that inflict the target with a variety of interesting affects for Valentine's Day, etc) to the down right scary (a dark carnival, a Silent Hill like Hell Dimension, and more.)

Race wise, we have a ton of great stuff, from human types (witches, elementals, necromancers, psychics) Lycans, vamps, and a class called 'shapeshifters' which is anything but your usual shifter type. They come in several flavors, from a generic type to a gender shifter, animals who turn into people, and even shifters who turn into plants. And our Newest Race, the Piscine, Fish-shifters who turn into humanoids, with a variety of interesting physical attributes, and the abiility to glamor them away!

In short, if you're willing to bear with some slowness, I assure you my site is full of epic and awesome and we'd love to have you.

Here's the 'Formal' ad, please start with the Faq and History & Intro if you do browse.

Welcome to Seattle, Wa., one of the most socially, and supernaturally progressive cities in the country. Front runner in some of the most controversial movements of the Supernatural Community, from Synth Blood in every bar to an All Supernatural Police Force, there's no better place for those seeking the freedom to be themselves. But it's not all sunshine and ponies, don't let that fool you. Seattle's got a dark side, and a bit of a weird side, too. But whatever side you're on, whatever you're looking for, you're sure to find something here... Or it might find you.

About us:

  • Urban fantasy/supernatural creature site, set in modern day Seattle.

  • A wide variety of playable races, from witches and necromancers to vampires and lycans, and several completely unique races like the Viri, (who are much more than -just- 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. We just added the Piscine, an aquatic 'shifter' like race, so check those out!

  • A friendly and welcoming site, active but laid back.

  • Lots of great things for members, from a 'Searching For' section to a Player Adoptions section, writing challenges, IC 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.

  • No word count; we have a variety of players who post anywhere from 120-2500 words on average.

  • Short Apps! Just basic info like height, age and weight, with a focus on the history.

  • We like to let people have choices, whether it's using a celeb/musician/stock model or none at all for their playby, or writing in 1st or 3rd person.

  • We also 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.

So please give us a look, and if you have any questions, please catch us on the cbox!

Dark AU Harry Potter game [03 Aug 2014|10:04pm]
Hey! I'm here from a little game called Chronic Resurrection. It's an AU time travel game set in 1983 and 2004, and we've been going strong for a few years now so isn't about to die. I'm looking for a couple of major characters today that we can't seem to hold onto - our game is quite dark as well as small so it's not to everybody's taste. You can check it out at [info]cr_mod and let me know if you have any questions.

1) NYMPHADORA TONKS
We have an extensive Tonks family with Nymphadora needed to round it off! She has a mum (Andromeda Tonks), dad (Ted Tonks), gran (Susan Tonks), and (AU, non-canon) younger brother (Anaxagoras Tonks) in play. Remus is in play too, and in 2003 is her husband and the father of their child :-D Sirius is also around, as are Bellatrix and Narcissa if required for drama times.

2)RON WEASLEY
Ron has Harry and Hermione to hang out with and look for horcruxes, albeit Harry is trapped in a mirror so his 'hanging out' is quite literal. Ron also has several family members in play - Bill, Percy, George and Ginny. Recently Viktor Krum turned up in Britain, so there's potential fun tension plot there with Ron too.

We're also always on the look-out for WEASLEYS, DEATH EATERS and PROSTITUTES. Which... tells you a lot about our game ;-) If you can make a character who's all three, you get a prize. In addition, we'd love some more older family members if that sort of thing interests you.

I look forward to welcoming you soon!
