About: | The fog begins to roll off the Thames, creeping along the ground like ethereal tendrils of some half-materialized beast. Buildings loom upward, wrought by a frenzy of industrial age technology, brick and mortar and wood rising into the night. Glazed windows are lit from within; some with dim candle light, some with the bright, unnatural light of newfangled gas jets. A sussuration swirls debris around you as you stand on the cobble-paved street. Penny papers, cheap black ink smeared from the evening damp, mix with fallen leaves and snippets leftover from cigarettes. The air is heavily perfumed with coal smoke from the factories at the West end. Even in the North, where the swells live, it's impossible to avoid the miasma. Day or night, the streets are alive with people. Vendors plying wares, businessfolk bustling to and fro, and other less-talked about types. They look like people - but looks can be deceiving. Creatures of both dark and light pass through the streets, be it by shadow or by light. Some to prey upon the veritable human feast surrounding them, others to protect it - all have staked a claim in this territory. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Welcome to Phantasy_London, a journal RPG that takes place in Victorian/Edwardian era London. The game is not yet live. Tentative go-live date is Saturday, August 23, 2008. Questions can be directed to phantasymods@gmail.com. If you are looking for inspiration or help with your character, VictorianLondon.Org is possibly the most comprehensive site on Victorian-era London ever. Everything from clothing styles to maps to criminal slang can be found at this site. We highly recommend a read-through. Open Character Slots Humans - no limit Vampires - 2 slots open Werebeasts - 5 slots open Ethereals (demon/angel kin) - 2 slots of each archetype open (2 angelic / 2 demonic) Fey - 2 slots open for each archetype (Seelie / Unseelie) Gifted (Witches/Warlocks/Gypsies/Psychics/other Superhumans) - 6 slots open Hunters - Hunters of any type are currently being taken on a case-by-case basis while the player base is still small. Check HERE for a list of held/taken characters. Got an idea for another type of character? Go ahead and run the idea past the mods. Please note that if all our non-human slots have been filled at the time you pitch your idea, we're less likely to accept it at that time. Our suggestion is that, should that be the case, you apply for a Human character to play while you wait. Showing us you're a good rp'er who's committed to making the game fun will go a long way toward influencing our decision when non-human slots open up. Caveat - once you've committed to a character, you're obliged to post as that character at least once every two weeks. You may have two characters, but for now only one may be non-human. If you abandon your human character, or kill them off, we're less likely to grant you another. The hope is to build a steady player base and churning of characters isn't in line with that goal. 1. You must be 18 to play. No exceptions. 2. All RP is consent based. 3. Adult themes are allowed. Death, maiming, mutilation, sex, and other things of both catastrophic and salacious will probably be happening. It may happen without trigger warnings. 4. ICA=ICC. In Character Actions result in In Character Consequences. Likewise, OOOCA!=ICA. Keep your personal wangst or player conflict out of the game. By posting to this community, you are consenting to the following: 1) That you, the player, are 18 years of age or older. 2) That you are aware that this is a roleplaying game involving mature/violent themes and concepts and game material may be . 3) That you have read and understood all the rules and policies of this game. 4) That you will follow rules and policies of the game. 5) That failure to abide by the rules/policies will result in admin intervention up to and including your removal from the game. That being said - Welcome! If you have questions, drop us a line at phantasticmods@gmail.com. Please allow 24 hours for a response. | ||||||||||
