In 1981 the Wizarding War ended with the death of Voldemort. In 1999, the Order Members and Death Eaters who went to Azkaban were pardoned and released. As the Wizarding world struggles to adjust, a new threat looms. Soon, people will be attacked by an unknown foe. Only this time, it isn't Muggleborns and their sympathizers who are in danger. It's purists.

Draco Malfoy has just been killed, murdered on his way home from his stag night. Now people are wondering: is this an attack of opportunity or the start of something more? The DMLE is trying to solve the case, but few clues are available.

Verso is a Harry Potter AU game that explores what happens when the tables are turned. Will the Order reform and defend known and suspected purists? Will the DMLE take the threat seriously? Will the former Death Eaters brush up on rusty skills to exact revenge? Clues will be dropped with each murder, allowing players the opportunity to solve the crimes... but how many people will die first?

In particular, we are looking for Purists/Former Death Eaters, recently pardoned prisoners, former Order members, Weasleys, and Harry Potter

In 1981 Peter Pettigrew kidnapped Harry Potter and brought him to Lord Voldemort. The resulting battle ended the Wizarding war. Harry Potter survived, as did his parents, but Voldemort was dead, Dumbledore was missing and presumed dead, and many Death Eaters and Order Members alike were in Azkaban.

Now, in 1999, the political tide has changed. Faced with the reality that exposure to Dementors is inhumane, the Ministry has closed Azkaban and granted all the prisoners a full pardon.

Do You Believe?

Rachel Berry is the girl who lived.

After the dark lord was defeated, the world thought it was safe. When Rachel Berry was attacked at age 15, she was sure that she was going to die. Sue Sylvester had been a devout follower of the dark lord and enraged by his defeat, she went after Rachel. It was a shock and a pleasant surprise to everyone when the girl survived.

Hunter Helmsley School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is one of many magical schools in the United States but is considered by most to be the best. Situated in the dense mountains of North Carolina, it's the perfect secluded place for a magical school and nearby town. The quaint little town of Helmsley's Landing supplies and supports the school and becomes a nice little escape for students on the weekend. A short ways away are Andrews and Marble, NC but those are populated by mostly Muggles and are too far to travel for students. Students get their magical education here in a quiet, idyllic setting.

Meanwhile, Sue Sylvester is out gathering followers. Her aim is simple: to rule the world. Rachel is now 16 and in her sixth year of school with five more to go. While everyone at Hunter Helmsley goes about their own business, Sue is out there gaining strength. Where does your character lie? On the side of good with Headmaster Figgins? Or on the side of evil with Sue Sylvester?

This game has now expanded to other fandoms and is a panfandom game. Only students may apply right now, after the game gets on the ground we will consider other characters.
Must be at least 17 to apply.

Tranquility: a town divided. Before the onset of the third world war, it had been a sleepy little tourist town in the Pacific Northwest. Beautiful - on the edge of Lake Serenity and surrounded by mountains - it was geographically isolated.

The isolation made it ideal as a place to run to and when the world started to go to hell, refugees flooded into Tranquility. The town was overwhelmed and slums developed. Factions began to form as people fractured into their makeshift communities: the Spa resort that offers luxury and style - for those that can pay the price. The campground that has become an enclave for families trying to get by. The shanty town that floods in bad weather, where crime is rife and the rule of law non-existent. The human-only enclave in the mountains, determined to protect their patch - at all costs as they prepare for the end of the world.

Tranquility Point is a game set in an alternative near future, two years after the outbreak of World War Three and with the emergence onto the global scene the truth of the existence of the supernatural.

The effect on the general populous of the world, those that had lived unaware of what was coming, was mass panic. People fled population centres. International borders collapsed under the strain. Refugees became the norm, heading for anywhere they deemed safe, regardless of country of origin.

The game is not focused on the war itself, but on a small town where people are trying to get away from it. The original inhabitants of Tranquility and the refugees who have made the area their home.

We are a brand new game and looking for active, dynamic players to come and shape our world!

Charles Xavier: the man, the pacifist, the icon. Founder of the X-Men and advocate for peaceful co-existence, Xavier is well-connected, well-loved, and well-respected.

And that's why he's going to die.

What will happen to all his social progress when the face of such a movement is assassinated in front of millions?

There's nothing you can do to stop it. No way to turn back time and prevent this from occurring. All you get to decide is how you will react and what you will do after.

A Golden Age is about to meet a violent end. It's time for the Age of Marvels.

1998.  After a seven year term as Minister of Magic, Regulus Black has been resoundingly defeated.  Once a celebrated war hero, the end of his final term was marked by several high profile and as-yet unsolved murders.  New Minister Aaron Diggory has promised reform, but those changes have yet to be seen.  The new Order of the Phoenix may not be content to wait on Diggory's politicking, especially when there are still Death Eaters causing trouble...

The children born just after the war — a baby boom such that the wizarding world had never seen — have finished their Hogwarts schooling.  Some have their sights set on new careers, others are content to enjoy a life free of responsibility or danger — for now.

REFRESH exposes the dynamics of victory, family, school, work, and everything in between, in an AU-exploration of what the wizarding world might be like had both Voldemort and Dumbledore fallen in 1980.
WANTED Death Eaters (especially ladies), Hogwarts Professors, Vincent Crabbe, Colin Creevey, Dedalus Diggle, Benjy Fenwick, Daphne Greengrass, Augusta Longbottom, Xenophilius Lovegood, Mary MacDonald, Alastor Moody, Peter Pettigrew, Rita Skeeter, Alicia Spinnet, Emmeline Vance, Ginny Weasley, Molly Weasley, Percy Weasley, Blaise Zabini — and more!

AN AU HARRY POTTER MONARCHY GAME
YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE, BUT IF YOU DO IT RIGHT, ONCE IS ENOUGH.


The year is 1926 and the world is changing. Les Années folles. The Jazz Age. The Golden Twenties. Can society keep up?

The muggles have had their Industrial Revolution, their Gilded Age, their Great War, and now they roar, finally, into the twentieth century and the modern era. Meanwhile, the Wizarding World is about to embark on a new era. King Emrys I is set to marry the Crown Princess of Ireland, Eleanora, uniting the British Isles for the first time under the crown of Albion. While the marriage is politically advantageous, there are those at Court who see danger uniting the two crowns. Nobody wants the old Irish king to play puppetmaster for an idealistic Emrys.

That's not to say everyone is enamored with the idea of politics. Night clubs, yet another fashionable import from the muggles, are appearing in the fashionable neighborhood of Harrowyck Alley off of Diagon. El Dorado, The Doxy. Avalon, Chimera's, and Elysium are all popular locations to find young aristocrats and socialites, drinking heavily and experimenting with drugs. These vibrant, attractive witches and wizards have become a favorite subject of the gossip pages of The Daily Prophet, nicknaming them the Bright Young Things. Their parties are extravagant and rival even the most elaborate Court Ball with far fewer morals.

X-Men: Odyssey


[info]xmo_mods
[info]insane_games

An AU X-Men RPG


Everything changes. The nature of the existence of anything that lives is to change. Humans have been evolving since before they thought to label themselves. And, as happens with evolution, there have been outliers; strange twists to the code. Over the generations these aberrations have been called many things: witches, monsters, legends. Mutants. They have become the thing that goes bump in the night, what hides under the bed, all those stories parents use to keep their children from going into the woods alone.

But they're real.

It is a world where most governments, long scared of the possibilities, do what they can to keep the general population vaccinated to the point where manifestations are rare. Despite the efforts to keep the stories of things that go bump in the night as nothing but stories, there are those who know the truth. They have been brought together under the direction of Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr, and have worked hard to learn about their own powers. Keeping to the shadows, they are slowly but steadily working to change the machinations of the world in order to protect their fellow mutants. They are the X-Men.

They have seen many strange things, but perhaps nothing so strange as a rend in the fabric of dimensions; a rend that will bring all manner of other versions of themselves into their world. Different faces, different voices, different pasts but the same person.

Is a world that cannot even face its own inevitable change ready for the next step? Are a group of heroes doing everything they can to save their race prepared to see their twisted reflections? And can those who have been torn asunder from their worlds ever manage it make it back home?

Howard Stark had a dream to create a school where the best and the brightest could shine. Charles Xavier had a dream where mutants and humans could peacefully coexist. Each opening schools where such dreams could come into fruition, they would forever change the world, as would the students and staff that would find their home there.

After surviving everything from the Mutant Registration Act to a HYDRA invasion of New York City, it seems that things are finally settling down. The X-Men debuted as a team to help bring mutants in need to the Xavier school and also promote peaceful coexistence. The world appears to be at peace, even if it is far from perfect. Even Howard Stark's tragic death earlier this year doesn't seem to have much of an effect on the students of his school or of Xavier's, but their world is about to be rocked again and this time it will need to be avenged.

Now is as good a time as ever to join MARVEL PREP as we begin to transition into a new chapter of the game where the world will need more than the X-Men to save them.

paradiso



You awaken to the sweet smell of flowers and the tang of ocean salt in the air. The sun is shining and it's a beautiful day! You and your fellow arrivals have been chosen to create your own civilization on the island of Paradiso by the Powers That Be. You might feel just the slightest bit dizzy and fuzzy; your memories have been altered in such a fashion that you believe you've volunteered for this project. You'll arrive with the clothes on your back and whatever you happen to have on your person at the time; the first arrivals will also have a few helpful tools to start, but on the whole, your job on the island is to build your society from the ground up. Don't try calling out to friends and family — why would you? You've volunteered, so of course you've already let them know you'll be unavailable for the foreseeable future — because you're on a whole new planet. Good luck getting that cell phone to work.

While you're here, you'll be expected to build shelter for yourselves. You'll need to hunt, gather, or garden to acquire food and there are plenty of freshwater lakes on the island for water. If you want more than the outfit you're currently wearing, you'll have to make new clothes. You'll be living off the land. ...it might be easiest if you all work as a team.

No laws, no leaders, no religion; what kind of society will you help to build? Welcome to Paradiso. We're looking forward to seeing the new world as built up by you.

Paradiso is an oc-friendly panfandom game set in the middle of a social experiment being conducted by powers unknown in an attempt to re-establish civilization. Characters will be awaken on the island and will have no initial access to a steady food supply, electricity, hot water, or any other creature comforts; they will need to build, maintain, and expand their own working society with the supplies they can find and the skills they possess.

It is an adult-themed game that may have adult situations and occasional mod-prompted plots.
