Old School RP

L O S T . R E D U X [ premise | rules | f.a.q. | application ] [ available | taken | wanted ] Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 just crashed on an unmapped island. Half the passengers and crew are dead or badly wounded. And the worse yet... they're not alone. Start the adventure from day 1.

After the Second Wizarding War there was a moment of calm, of peace and serenity. It was soon interrupted as people began to worry about what would happen next. No one wanted to risk the a slide back to what had happened during the war, but with public opinion split on the direction of wizarding society, there only seemed to be one solution - elect a new Minister of Magic. It was all very clean cut, very democratic. There were speeches and town hall meetings. The people came out and spoke their mind and in the end they picked the side that was safer – the older side of the coin. The party made up of mainly Pure Bloods – Puritas – was elected into the Ministry of Magic over the more progressive Allied Party. However, it wasn’t one of the old hats, nor was it someone that people would always look at and see the Dark Mark. They had been smarter than that. Chance Warrington, now the newly elected Minister of Magic, was left to set up his cabinet, name his advisers and his ministers. Since he was elected to the position by the majority of the magical society in England, there is no reason to think that they would object to him, his choices, his policies or his staff….right? The press, the pundits, have openly criticized everything from policy to the color of his tie at brunch. With the fate of society resting in his hands, which way will it go? The Ministry is a post DH, non epilogue compliant game set in 2006 that centers around the Ministry of Magic and the political struggles of the wizarding world. Inspired by shows like The West Wing, the focus will be on the internal struggles and mechanisms that drive the Ministry of Magic. Game Opens November 16

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

2003 is fast approaching. All of our favourite characters are past school and living in various stages of their lives. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley are full-blown Aurors on a severely understaffed Squad. Ginny Weasley has quit her job in favour of working for George. Pansy Parkinson is looking for a positive move forward in her life, working in law at the Ministry with Angelina Johnson. Lavender Brown has had a capital-V Vision, only she doesn't realise it. Charlie Weasley has only recently learned that Susan Bones's 10-month-old baby is actually his 10-month-old baby.

Sounds like life is coming along nicely, right? Well, there's just one catch:

Half of these people are very ill, or they will be very ill if they aren't very careful. The Muggles call it a superflu, but it's much more than that. St. Mungo's hasn't yet been able to figure out where this disease even came from, much less how to stop it. And the worst part? People with this disease are dying. First Gawain Robards and four other Aurors. Then Neville Longbottom. Who will be next?

Most Wanted Characters: Luna Lovegood, Draco Malfoy, Bill Weasley, Seamus Finnigan, Michael Corner, Parvati Patil, Anthony Goldstein, Lee Jordan, Padma Patil. Many other great characters available!

Rules † Cast † Wanted † Available † Journals † Timeline † Game Canon † Locations The year is 1978. The war against the Death Eaters has been boiling under the surface for almost a decade now. It was little things at first, easy to ignore, escalating to bigger attacks, bigger crimes, and of course, retaliation. Now the country is about ready to tear itself apart as the Ministry steps up their attempts to defeat Voldemort and no one is really sure who they should trust, if they should trust anyone at all. Who can you turn to when your own government is as likely to kill you as the masked criminals roaming the streets? Even the muggles are starting to notice. Attacks in muggle places are becoming more frequent, the Death Eaters getting more bold. And everyone is asking the same question. How long before it's open war? The First War is a Post-Warts, MWPP era RPG. We are canon through November 1st, 1978 and then we diverge, allowing the characters to tell their own stories. Currently we are most interested in: Order Members, Death Eaters, and MLE Employees

	At Salem Academy, there are many ways to tell your future and your fortune. Ritual Magic, one of the staples of the curriculum, educates young witches and wizards in a style of magic that's been in the Americas for centuries. It one of the things that makes Salem stand apart from most other wizarding schools in the world. That and its unique blend of wizard and Muggle societies, accomplished for centuries without Muggle awareness. But even the best Divination students didn't quite see this coming. The wizarding world is about to go through an unexpected and likely unwelcome change: the revelation of its existence to the Muggles.

OPENING 11/4! Now accepting holds and applications! Heritage is a remote community in northwestern Oregon, situated along the shores of Heritage Lake. Millionaire Cleveland Pickens built the Heritage Lake Lodge in 1910 as a hotel and resort for folks who just wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. He wanted The Lodge to be an oasis -- a luxury lodging facility in tune with the natural world and with the grandeur of nature as close as the backyard. The town of Heritage originally sprang up around The Lodge and Heritage Lake as a community to house the resort workers. What started as temporary housing expanded to a permanent town structure by the 1950s. Resort workers married, started families, and had children. The town grew, and though there are many local businesses and schools, the economy of the town still relies greatly on the success of the Heritage Lake Lodge -- because of the jobs it provides and the tourism it brings to the area.
