It started as simple research to find a "cure" for Squibs and it turned into a weapon that stripped the world of its non-magical "blight" in a 6-week flurry of death and devastation. Now, even the remaining witches and wizards aren't safe.
The lingering magic has turned into deadly storms that bring death to anything or anyone magical caught in its grasp. Usually, you can see them coming, but it makes living on your own tough. Only in places under old, heavy magical protections do the survivors have a chance to build a new life in this new and dangerous world.
In the UK, that means either Hogwarts or Malfoy Manor. Which will you choose?
Post-DH, Trio era set in 2005. Not compliant with epilogue or Pottermore.
Game will open November 11. Plotting/pre-threading until then.

With the second wizarding war finally over, families have returned to their normal jobs and normal lives. The students of Hogwarts have gone back to worrying about homework, boy troubles and the quickly changing fashion trends. As the technology in the Muggle world continues to progress, the wizarding world has started its own research. By 2022 the experiments in the Department of Mysteries mixing technology and magic have started causing adverse affects on the world around them. No one quite knows what they're doing in there, but if the students of Hogwarts want to flourish and finish their classes, they'll have to find a way to embrace or ignore the effects the expriments have on the magic they're supposed to be learning to use. | |

In Southern California, there recently opened a new luxury apartment building. Impeccably designed, impossibly convenient, ideally located, Pax Letale is the sort of residential Shangri La where Southern Californians spend all manner of favors and years trying to secure a spot. But Pax doesn't have a waiting list, nor can a place there be bought or sold. The people who find their way to Pax Letale belong there. Every tenant of Pax is a reincarnated deity, some of whose worshipers are by and large long dead. Once very real, these gods began to fade as science and reason dispelled the probability of their existence. Reborn as mortals, their essences remain, waiting to be awakened. Somehow, sometimes one by one, sometimes in groups or pairs, these creatures of destiny have discovered Pax, and have not been able to resist its pull. For at Pax Letale, the awakening has begun. As these gods rediscover themselves and each other, the seemingly invisible but ubiquitous management tracks each of them quite closely, and the very building itself seems to have an agenda of its own. And as the gods made humans in their own image - or humans made them in theirs - so will the the behavior of the people of Pax turn as dark as their myths. Blood, strife, sex, petty plots, torture - even murder will wind their ways into Pax Letale. A lovely place. A peculiar place. A dangerous place. Enki is the Babylonian god of water, crafts, intelligence and creation. Twin of and best friend of Ereshkigal, goddess of the Underworld, he is often seen as a positive foil to his brother Enlil, utilizing his magic and cunning for the good of others; he brings aid to deities and humans alike, serving as a rare masculine nuturer in a chaotic and often oppressively patriarchal pantheon. He will likely have connections to Tiamat, Ereshkigal, and other Sumero-Babylonian deities. Zeus is the king of the Greek gods, and the god of sky and weather, law, order and fate. He was depicted as a regal man, mature with sturdy figure and dark beard. His mortal self might be connected in some way to Hera, his sister-queen, as well as to his other siblings and his children - who are many (Ares, Apollo, Artemis, Athene, Hermes, and Dionysos, to name just a fraction of their number). Masauwu is a Hopi deity sometimes called the Skeleton Man, Keeper of Fire, Spirit of Death, and the Master of the Fourth (present) World. He is depicted as a dark-skinned man wearing a mask; sometimes the creature beneath this mask is described as handsome, sometimes as a disfigured monster. Don't see a tenant that interests you? Other deities and pantheons are welcome - pick one of the active pantheons in the game, or talk to a mod if there's one you don't see, and make your modern god as you see him/her/it. |
