PAX LETALE: GODS REBORN
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 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.
Available Tenants: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. Brighid is the Celtic goddess of the forge, inspiration, compassion and creativity, and a patron goddess of artists, craftsmen, and other creative types. In her mortal life, she may have connections to her parents, her siblings, or any of the Celtic pantheon. 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. Connections to Native American deities and gods and goddesses of death or enlightenment are likely. ADDITIONAL AVAILABLE TENANTSDon't see a tenant that interests you?

Do you dream of traveling the stars? Giant robots? Epic battles? Relationships forged in the heat of said battles? How about a RPG that masterfully fuses plot and character development? If you answered yes, then it's time for you to apply to Ganymede Academy!
The production of fully functional mecha units began in 2165, but with this advancement in technology came envy and discord. For 13 years, the Earth was scarred by a terrible war. In the aftermath, the UN decided that mechs were simply too dangerous to be used without restriction. They decreed that the units would be removed from Earth - only brought down for UN-sanctioned missions - to prevent another tragedy, and that they would oversee the education of a new generation of pilots who would use mechs to preserve the peace. So it was that Ganymede Station was built.
The year is 2211, several generations of pilots have graduated through Ganymede Academy, and the planet has enjoyed many years of peace. But with the colonies talking of independence from Earth, how much longer can it last?

A throwback to the colosseums of old, The Arena, located in the heart of Cambion City, is the very place for those with a penchant for blood, guts, and death to see their wildest fantasies fulfilled. Populated by a very select group of Were criminals, spectators at the Arena can expect to see the fight of their life every night as the finest Were specimens of all breeds rip each other to shreds in the hopes of surviving one more day, working off debt, or simply gaining their freedom.
Beneath The Arena's battleground is a series of spartan-like jail cells where criminal or indebted Weres are forced to coexist together, no matter their breeds. Champions are treated like Gods and often assigned their own slaves, and the tales of sex, drugs, and decadence that take place in the 'champion' quarters provide more than enough inspiration for those warriors who are resigned to a life in captivity to fight their way to victory. The system is corrupt, the conditions are harsh, and the battles are not often fair.
All the more reason to come and play, isn't it?
