It has been nine years since the last blow was struck against the enemy.
The war did not end cleanly, however. Years of scorched earth and blazing sky rendered the islands of Britain wasteland in parts, crackling in magic in others. While life has resumed normalcy to the hundreds of wizards that roam England, there are those who must watch and defend against the magic that yet remains, buried in the earth but lying dormant... waiting for a trigger to snap. And with this turning of the earth has come the struggle against those who are not human - the goblins, the werewolves, the undead that snarl in the blackness. Vengeance was vowed when the Dark Lord fell and to those who are immortal, an oath of blood runs through the veins of a century. As muggles begin to march and ghosts lie in wait, the wizarding world stands on the edge of a very long fall.
The year is 2008.
Those who would defend the Light against these perils are not the Aurors, but another force known as the Regulators. It is their mission to halt the erosion of the wizarding world and protect wizards and muggles alike from the reaches of the supernatural. Their task is daunting, their numbers few but those who raise arms do so with hope that they can be a shield against the long night that awaits.
Will you fight?
AU - after book 6- and PROUD!
What We're Looking For:
+ 18 years of age or older! Regulation is full of mature content. This means all sorts of situations from graphic sex scenes (m/m, f/f, and m/f) to touchy subjects such as murders, violence, and general crimes. There will be fluff, there will be comedy - but overall, Regulation is a game that isn't for those who squick easily. Hopefully, with this age limit, we'll be able to create an RPing environment that's conducive to both quality writing and a great deal of fun. + Friendly players! We're all quite nice at Regulation and are looking to expand our group with other easy-going, fun people. + Good grammar and spelling! This means no netspeak or abbreviations. A few typos are always understandable, but if your character's entry is rife with them, expect an email or IM from one of the mods. + Active players! We understand that RL can become troublesome and we're more than willing to make allowances for that, but you need to keep in touch with us about what's going on. + A willingness to plot and scheme! Players can't depend solely on the mods for plot ideas. You must be willing to speak to other players, get in touch with them, create mischief on your own. + Open-mindedness! As mentioned above, there will most likely be a great deal of touchy content in Regulation. If you're squeamish about any of that, then Regulation might not be the best place for you. However, the game isn't going to be based solely on the sex lives of various characters. We do have actual plot. There will be violence, attacks, deaths... it would be wonderful if you were willing to help plan with that, volunteer your character's family for maiming/death... that sort of thing. :D
What We're Offering: + A well-organized RPG! We have plans outlined for events in Regulation and it will run in real-time, which means if you post on July 10, 2008, it translates as July 10, 2008. + Good grammar and spelling! We want everyone in Regulation to have fun, but that doesn't mean we're going to let sloppy writing slide. + A friendly group of RPers! Our current members are all quite wonderful. They're more than willing to give you a warm welcome, to plot with you, and to just be randomly nice. + Activity! No one wants to be a part of an RPG that stagnates. The mods do everything possible to keep Regulation fun and entertaining. + Flexibility! We'll put a character on hold for you, if you know you want to apply but aren't quite sure when you'll be able to get the app in. Just understand that a character can't remain on hold indefinitely and, after a period of three days they're going to need to go back to being available.
Before Applying: + Please make sure you've read the rules linked above. The mod don't want to have to hound you about silly little things - it takes up time that could be devoted to characters and it annoys you, neither of which we like! + Understand that Regulation is a very open-minded sort of RPG. Don't give other players a hard time about their character's sexual orientation, the amount of RPs they do, or the content of those RPs. If you have an issue with another player, please speak to one of the mods and they'll handle the situation in such a way that all parties will, hopefully, be satisfied. + Know that any and all plot suggestions are welcome. This isn't to say that, if you suggest we bring Dumbledore and Sirius Black back from the dead, we're going to agree to do it. But we'll look at subplots, relationship suggestions, possible deaths, or major events. If it's plausible, more than likely, we'll try working it in.
