    The Awakened Years

    On March 19th 2011 a shocking turn of events took place. Thanks to a rather nasty murder trial that took place in Salem, Massachusetts - the long held secret world of supernaturals came to light. Most had already integrated themselves into 'modern' society over the years, but this awakening of knowledge amongst the general populace changed things. The first few years were rough - law makers argued back and forth, often without consulting those most effected by their decisions, and many a stumble was taken. Just over 5 years out from the events that day the world is starting to truly come to grips with what was really out there all along.

    The Awakened Years focuses on three main parts of Portland, Maine; the Portland PD and DA Offices, the Portland Campus of the University of Southern Maine, and what has been dubbed by locals as the 'New' district (a restaurant, leisure, and retail district near Back Cove that boasts a 90% rate of ownership amongst supernaturals). While the game itself will be largely player-interaction based, be prepared for the mods to throw a little fun your way regularly. This will usually be in the form of the local paper (the Chronicles, though many refer to the supernatural publication as the "supe' stories") announcing events in Portland or events and threads of a more criminal nature because even though they're out in the open, that doesn't mean everyone is behaving.

    Out of the Shadows
    The year is 2017. A new president has been inaugurated, and soon after a congressional bill admitting the existence of the supernatural becomes law. All supernatural beings, mortal and immortal, are revealed. Some people are surprised by this revelation, and others less so. People find themselves struggling to adapt, and it leads to both internal and external conflicts. Acceptance of those from non-human descent varies by community, education, upbringing, and social class, but most certainly is not universal.

    In Philadelphia, one of the most populated cities in the US, the mayor institutes a further law that discrimination against supernaturals is illegal, the first city to offer a law of this sort. Responses swing from ignoring the law entirely, to those who simply see it is proper to treat everyone the same as logic. The trades some, especially fae, brought with them from their lengthy existence brought benefit to the city economy and new businesses were able to develop and expand - though some found themselves vandalized too.

    Supernaturals are being pulled out of the shadows. How will you react? [OPENS AUGUST 15]
