Basis of Everything [14 Oct 2008|09:52am]



basis of everything


It's 1977; school has started in earnest, and everyone is settling in for yet another perfectly normal year at Hogwarts. The homework is piled on, the threat of looming exams being beaten into ignorant minds, but all the while... something doesn't feel right.

It's so much darker this year than it was last year. The days seem to be shortening beyond comprehension. The fog is thick and cold and constant, not to mention the fact that everyone seems so glum. There are disappearances being noted in the newspaper, but everything seems vague, as though someone knows what is going on, but too afraid to voice it aloud.

The teachers seem a bit on edge, uncertain how to handle the evil that is lurking in the shadows. The students, for the most part, are completely unaware of what is going on, even those whose parents are deep in the throes of swearing their allegiance to one side or another. The students, it seems, live in a world of their own, one untouched by the misery and doom of the outside world.

No one will say aloud what is really happening. Even after the attacks on Beauxbatons and Kinnitty, there is too much fear to put a name to the tragedies. People are too quick to label them as accidents, or to pretend that just because nine seemingly safe months have passed, that it's time we forgot our fear of what lurks unseen. The disappearances? They're not worth mentioning... right?

There they are, standing on the edge at the basis of everything, wondering when they will fall
waiting to fall


Basis of Everything is a Marauder Era RPG set in 1977, in the Marauder's final year of Hogwarts. We're not too canon around here, and this is a slightly AU board. We don't take ourselves too seriously, and if you're going to call us up on having the wrong canon characters together... well, c'mon, this is a game!

Here at BOE, we pay attention to the canon aspects that matter and do our own thing otherwise. Characters behave as canon would dictate them to, with a little fandom mixed in there too. We're not too strict, and we're all here to play and have a good time. If, like us, you like to create drama or partake in funny threads, then you're just our sort of person!

We were previously open on boe.pandoras-closet.net, an invisionfree forum, but have just moved to livejournal. It's fun and exciting, and a little new to us, so be gentle! We're the patient kind, and we have a lot of backstory. Our characters are developed and dear to us, and as a pretty large and friendly community, we're always looking for similarly minded people. So, take a look at our canon list and write us up an application, we'd love to have you!

The year is 2000. For over two years, the Wizarding World has been quiet. At Peace. Kingsley Shacklebolt revolutionized the government. Things were beginning to return to the way they had been before the Second War with the Dark Lord. People were happy; Hogwarts had reopened. Harry Potter and his friends really had saved the world.

But, naturally, the values of Purism are deeply instilled in some, and Mr. Aeneas Nott was... well. Suffice to say, he wasn't pleased with the new, Muggleborn-loving, peaceful society in which he lived. As far as he was concerned, there was nothing he could do to change it, and, despite himself, he did quite enjoy the new peace and quiet. The only thing problem he had was a large one, and that was the imminent extinction of Purebloods.

He needed to prevent that.

Mr. Nott decided that he would have to help the Pureblood lines stay pure, without being suspected of some sort of covert terrorism. In this vein, he formulated a plan that would surely save the Purebloods: he made flyers about "Marrying Properly For All Bloodlines," preaching that all witches and wizards should marry within their own bloodline; Halfbloods with Halfbloods, Muggleborns with Muggleborns, and Purebloods with Purebloods. He then switched his focus to the Pureblood parents of his generation.

Propaganda fueled fear; fear for their grandchildren's safety -- should this generation's Pureblood children marry Muggleborns, the child of the next generation would be Halfbloods and "surely hated." Whether for that, or for entirely different reasons (money, continuation of the bloodline, etc.), Pureblood society decided to do something about this appalling prospect. Getting together, they arranged marriages for their young, unmarried children... for the Greater Good, of course.

Keeping It Pure is a Post-DH (non-epilogue compliant) RPG that explores Pureblood culture and the lives of characters who are stuck in a situation they can't get out of: marriage!

Our applications are currently on hold due to personal reasons, but we're still encouraging holds and applications!

Most Wanted Characters: Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini, Padma Patil, Cormac McLaggen, Marcus Flint, Derrick, Eddie Carmichael, Chambers
