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: Lily Evans, James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Severus Snape, Bellatrix Lestrange, Rodolphus Lestrange, Rabastan Lestrange, Giden and Fabian Prewett, Alice and Frank Longbottom, Molly and Arthur Weasley...basically, all characters are up for grabs!

So, we all know the story...
The "Boy Who Lived" defeated the Dark Lord as an infant.. and many other times over the years. But it was not until the Boy’s fifth year at Hogwarts and the terrible turn of events at in the Department of Mysteries did the Ministry of Magic finally acknowledge the return of the largely feared Dark Lord, Tom Marvolo Riddle, also known as Lord Voldemort.
After the tragic events of Harry’s fifth year, his sixth year proved not to be much better of an end. Dumbledore lay dead with Sirius and the others now, and Dumbledore was the last line of real help Harry had. The important thing Harry knew was following out Dumbledore's dying mission: to find and destroy those Horcruxes.
Little did Harry know that the secret lie in a child-- another child in his year. This child is the only heir of the man with the initials R.A.B. The man that Harry came to wonder about time and time again. No one knew about this little secret-- this child-- not even R.A.B. himself. He was killed one month before the mystery child had been born.
On the night of July 31st, 1997, a prediction was made by everyone’s favourite Hogwarts Divination Professor, Sybil Trelawney...
"It is now in our darkest hour
That our savior will need the most help
But he will not find that help in friends
No
In another heir he will find his help
The secrets lie in a girl"
Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, and Hermione Granger were all whisked back immediately, having only left hours before for Godric’s Hollow (the place Harry now called home) to be informed of this, and if they could think of anyone it could be.. but there were too many options. It could have been anyone within a year or two radius of Harry’s own age! Due to the fact that the circumstances had changed drastically, the trio was forced, reluctantly, to return to Hogwarts for their 7th year.
And this is where we begin... The war has started and the search for the only other person who can help Harry to fulfill his Prophecy, has begun.
**This game is not only one of the HP RPG world, but it is also an interactive mystery. We are looking for players who are imaginative and very active. The game is similar to Clue in the sense that muns and characters alike have the chance to decode and discover whom this certain mystery girl is.**

AFTER THE RISING /// THE HISTORY /// THE GAME /// THE RULES /// THE DISEASE /// FAQ /// THE CAST LIST /// TAKEN/HELD PB‘S /// THE APPLICATION
"The Rising." That's how it came to be known eventually, the day the dead began to rise from their graves and walk once more.
It began innocently enough. Just a handful of cases located randomly across the country, of the recently deceased coming back to life. At first it was blamed on human error, the doctors must have made a mistake, what other explanation could there be? But it wasn't a mistake and it soon became clear that despite the fact that they were walking around, the recently deceased were still just that... deceased.
Essentially harmless if somewhat disturbing to see, but with no real sentience and no other signs of life to speak of the walking dead (now known as "The Risen") were placed in quarantine and subjected to procedure after procedure from teams of doctors and scientists determined to find an explanation for the phenomena. No explanation was ever found and the number of walking dead slowly increased.
Less than one month after the first reported case, the disease mutated.
A careless lab technician approaching the end of his shift and thinking more about his plans for the evening than of safety was accidentally bitten while taking a saliva sample from one of the risen. Afraid of being quarantined himself he hid his injury from his superiors and went home. He should have known something was wrong when he started feeling dizzy but he told himself he was just overworked and that he just needed to relax. He thought he'd be fine by morning. He was wrong.
By morning he was dead. Walking dead but different from the others. Self aware, though only minimally, he was governed by a hunger that could only be sated by the taste of human flesh. He attacked everyone he saw, his girlfriend, his neighbours, the mail man, the bus driver, taking a bite from each of them before being fought off. He was apprehended of course and eventually subdued but not before managing to inflict bites on several of the arresting officers.
Within 24 hours everyone who had been bitten had also become walking dead, consumed with the same hunger for flesh, and in little more than a week, the whole town had been infected. With no one left to even try and contain the contagion, it spread quickly to the next town and then the next, spreading right across the country and then the globe like a wild fire and in just a few weeks the number of walking dead was equal to the number of living... and rising.
That was a year ago. All that remains of humanity now are the small and remote pockets of survivors that live cut off from the rest of the world in secured compounds, ever watchful of the walking dead that surround them on all sides and hoping desperately that the nightmare will eventually end.
This is the story of one such group of survivors.
