JH Corporation: An Original Sci-Fi RPG
This games opens officially on Wednesday Feb. 13th (weird day, I know), but feel free to post once a member. | |
It began with prosthetics...
Ways to repair humans physiological functions, augmented or replaced, by electronic or electromechanical components. By rewiring nerves, or flexing another muscle, one was able to control a bionic appendage that made it possible to live a normal life. That opened the floodgates to approving Stem Cell research, generic cells that can make copies of themselves, and eventually those geneticists learned ways to not only create organs.. but skin. Brain matter. Emotions. Many people didn't think it was possible to create an artificial person, and have it perform human tasks as efficiently as someone trained all their life to do the same job. Sentient machines, Bionic Technology, and Human-like "robots" increasingly took on the less extravagant occupations of man. It was a concept that slowly made its way into the minds and lives of the world. Most notably, Japan where it flourished and was refined into a scientific art form. It was believed that one could make a unit think. And they did. They even made them feel...
The year is 2025

What if they were real?
The myths and legends.
The things that go bump in the night.
What if they were just like you? |
Since the dawn of time they've been blamed for all of life's oddities. A strange noise? It must be a ghost. Pets mangled and eaten? Maybe a werewolf got them. That pale man that never ventures out in the day? A vampire, surely. Children behaving badly must be changelings, and that table had to have been forced into your path by a mischievous sprite, now giggling at your misfortune.
The list goes on. For each being, there are hundreds of tales, most pure delusion of course, though much of it based in fact.
From Nessie and Sasquatch to the Bermuda Triangle and the Land of Mu, our world is filled with the unattainable, the unexplainable... that which we call Myth, or Legend.
Yet, like the Will O' the Wisp, or the ghost breath that sends a shiver down your spine, the truth tugs softly at our conscience. Whispers in the dark of a boogeyman in the shadows, or a fairy spinning gossamer tales in the corners of your mind. They are real. And in so many ways... they are just like you. They work. They feed. They even have children. And just like humans, those children go to school.
School however, isn’t always as just classes and homework. Strange old castles often have far more lurking about them than is so readily apparent. Ancient curses have been set loose on the school. Memory loss. Sickness. Power switching... Was it an accident? Or are more sinister plans afoot? Unanswered questions abound as the students and staff first try and understand exactly what has happened to them...
Welcome to Halcyon Halls.
We're changing the future one myth at a time. |

Asphodel: Powdered root of asphodel is used in the Draught of Living Death. This plant is traditionally associated with the afterlife and the underworld.
We are living in a world of uncertainty now. Before, the only worries we truly had were whether or not we would pass our examinations or if the marauders were the ones responsible for turning everyone's hair a nice shade of lilac. But times are changing and things are getting darker out in the real world. A growing army is fast approaching; friends and family members are disappearing more often and there are a growing number of events happening that can no longer be explained easily. All done by he who dare calls himself Lord.
Asphodel is a game focused almost entirely on the war of the late 1970s that threw the entire wizarding world into chaos. With darkening themes and realistic events, it won't be for those who are faint at heart and can't bear to sit back and watch our most beloved characters thrown into the lion's den.
Wanted Characters: Peter Pettigrew, Mary MacDonald, Greta Catchlove, Alecto Carrow, Evan Rosier, Marlene McKinnon, Emmeline Vance, Narcissa Malfoy, Lucius Malfoy, Gideon and Fabian Prewett, Molly and Arthur Weasley, and Death Eaters and Order members would be fabulous...basically, almost all characters are up for grabs!

«PLOT»
The 'mutant cure' has been defeated. Mutants' bodies have rejected the cure and created antibodies to prevent future strains from affecting their systems. However, in doing so, and combined with exposure to the Mutant X gene within them, they have created a new virus (coined 'the Cure Virus') that has infected non-mutant humans who have come in contact with mutants who took the cure. Xavier's School for the Gifted has been turned into a shelter for cured mutants, a base for uninfected human defense and a safe harbor for all other mutants whom the government believe to be dangerous to the efforts in human safety. From Magneto's perspective - a virus that's mutated and maimed the majority of the human population isn't terrible at all. The fact that the virus was produced from a 'cure' they attempted to force upon their mutant counterparts only makes it all the sweeter. However, as time passes, the Brotherhood of Mutants is discovering that the absence of able-minded humans in the nation isn't necessarily a good thing.
While Charles Xavier works toward finding a cure for this new, terrible threat to humanity, Erik Lensherr looks to their brothers-in-genes to band together and make the world right again - fully functioning and with mutants in control.

By the spring of 1999, the Order had collected and destroyed all of the Horcruxes except one; the locket. Coming face to face with each other before the locket was found, Lord Voldemort located the threat to the last piece of his soul. During the duel between the Dark Lord and The Boy Who Lived, one last powerful spell was cast from Harry's end, and Lord Voldemort used his last resort; a time turner. Believing victory to be in their grasp, the people rejoiced; wizard and muggle alike. The two communities worked together to push back the last remnants of Voldemort's army of monsters, and together rebuilt their homes. No longer able to hide the wizarding community from the muggle world, the two Ministers announced that the alliance between the two worlds was there to stay. Knowing that a fragment of Voldemort’s soul was still out there, the Order continued their desperate search for the locket.
.......
With the beginning of a new year, 2003, the people were awakened to the truth when the Death Eaters, along with their allies of magical creatures, attacked the New Years Ball held by the Ministry, and the Dark Lord announced his return. Hundreds were slaughtered and few escaped unharmed before the Death Eaters withdrew, content to let their victims lick their wounds and think about what had occurred. Once again reassembled, the Death Eaters continued their recruiting that had begun before their attack on the ball and planned their next course of action.
With the abrupt knowledge of the return of their worst enemy, the Order threw all efforts into their search for the locket that contained the final fracture of Voldemort’s soul; the deaths at the ball weighed heavily on their shoulders. The Ministries of the Muggle and Wizarding communities immediately strengthened their defenses and began their own search for those responsible for the lives lost.
There are those who doubt the validity in believing that the Death Eaters have returned, while others take this opportunity and use it for their own personal gain. Groups of individuals use the guise of the Death Eaters to inspire fear and obtain worldly goods. Confusion, doubt, and old fears riddle the minds of the populace, causing trust to become a scarce thing. With deception becoming a more common art, even the tight knit within the Order can be penetrated.
First blood has been drawn; now is the time for war. The Death Eaters have a plan to bring the Ministry to the ground and leave the Wizarding world at their feet.

 The date is February 12th, 2007.
A lot has changed since the 1930’s, when the Cosa Nostra’s power was first widely realised in the corrupted wonderland that is New York City. The Lucchese family were recognised as one of the dominating empires in organized crime— one of the original Five Families— and as years passed, their empire only grew and grew. Peace was temporary. The Italian Mafia became disturbed by news of a new force in Brooklyn’s Brighton Beach soon enough; lead by the children of Russian immigrants. None of the families were concerned— unfortunately, by the time they realised the true size of the Russian faction, the harm had already been done. The Italian Mafia began to scatter, family by family, and now all that remains in the glamorous and often seedy New York City is the last-standing Luccheses, who refuse to surrender their hold on the capital without a full-blown WAR.
Mafiusi is a newborn game proudly inspired by a number of mafia classics and focuses on interwoven storylines, intrigue, manipulation, personal/business relationships, CONFLICT, family dynamics, and all the other ranges of sometimes-light and sometimes-dark interactions within a group of multi-dimensional characters. We have innocent children of Dons, devout Catholic button-men, bitter femme fatales and more all for the picking. Crack-lovers need not apply; we like detailed writers who make characters worth developing with, and don't worry about longevity, because we plan on chugging for a long time!

What if the Prophecy that made Harry Potter the 'Boy who lived' hadn't been given to the Dark Lord? What if a falsified Prophecy had been passed to him instead?
The year is 1995, When Harry, Ron and Hermione return to Hogwarts. A few changes have been made to the staff over the summer, the most noticeable being the new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor; A Mr. Tom Marvolo Riddle. His new post is widely questioned by the wizarding world; The man has been convicted of murders throughout the seventies, why would Dumbledore hire him to teach young children? Dumbledore simply plays it off saying that he has applied "twice before". That he has not been able to be convicted of anything. Mr. Riddle has, after all, been studying abroad since the 1980's, and is very knowledgeable on his subject.
Most Wanted: James Potter, Lucius Malfoy, Bellatrix Lestrange, Peter Pettigrew, Luna Lovegood, Percy Weasley, Cho Chang, Ravenclaws and Death Eaters!

As it is known to mankind now when death grips a lifeform they perish and are sent into the earth where they will reincarnate into something beautiful and provide the world with the always looping circles of life and death. But, what if those always interlocking circles were bent and broken apart leaving the Valley of the Light forever separated from the Land of the Dead never to continue on the chain reactions of life, death and reincarnation. However this does leave the question: Where does one go when they die if these linked circles are torn apart? A question that has a solution only known to those who have passed on to see their new land.
Enter the Netherworld.
A sub-world once connected to the state of the living, the Netherworld is an area with many realms all connected to each other by strange portals. Although the Netherworld in itself is mostly a neutral land, there are certain realms that seem to be more of a threat than the others. It is true that to be in this world one must be dead and therefore shouldn't have the need for fear of any things that could be even remotely ominous - but with death comes fear and with fear comes pain. Dead one might be, food you may not need but even in the Netherworld blood and pain are as real as the living.
There are four different realms joined together in the Netherworld, each one with their own creatures native to its grounds - it is up to those in the realms to decided for themselves which creatures are friend and which are foe. Judge not by their looks entirely for such things can be deceiving. Shelter can be found if you look hard enough in areas such as caves, and holes. They can even be built if one is creative enough to try. Food and drink are not necessities in the Netherworld as there is no hunger to be felt. There is only one large difference between the living and the dead carried into the Netherworld - the dead have no hearts. The similarities are as simple as if one is cut they will bleed and feel pain. Cold and warm tempuratures have effects on the dead although it is minor. Injuries sustained in death are carried over into the Netherworld as permanent scars.
There is but one rule to the land that allows you to pass through realms so freely: the dead cannot visit the land of the living under any circumstances. The living may, however, visit the dead. Perhaps - if one is lucky enough to be called by the living for a meeting, that is.

Located just four miles out of Napa, California, The Sutton Academy has become the place for the rich (and sometimes famous) to send their children. Boys and girls come from all over the country (and in a few cases, the world), to receive a first rate education. At least, that's what the brochures say. The truth is, The Sutton Academy has become more of a 24-7 babysitter for rich kids rather than a school. The price tag is high, but it's a rarity that kids fail out, or get kicked out of Sutton, something their parents know when they sign their checks each year. Taken/Held | More Info |
thedean is officially under new management. All PBs that are not taken or held are wanted. Adds are at least three times a week. See suttonsls for information on other characters and wanted storylines. Also see below for specific storylines that are wanted, plus I am sure there are many other storylines that are needed to be filled.
