[22 May 2008|08:57am] { RULES : TAKEN : HELD : WANTED : APPLICATION : FAQ : CONTACT US } { PARABOLICAL : MOD JOURNAL : OOC : GRAFFITI : COMMUNICATIONS } "Well, personally? I kinda want to slay the dragon. Let's go to work." And get to work the remaining members of Angel Investigations did. Four heroes against a city run rampant with monsters of all shapes and sizes. When it was all said and done, the dragon was slayed. The others followed suit or fled for their lives. Gunn perished but Angel, Spike, and Illyria survived. The Senior Partners fell silent and the battle for control of Los Angeles was declared over at long last. The city has begun to rebuild and people have returned to their daily lives since then. Yet, already plans are in motion to destroy the peace that has befallen the City of Angels. The Senior Partners are back, with a vengeance, and a plan they are certain will succeed. The Powers That Be have decided the time has come to mount a viable defense. Heroes and villains alike are arriving day and night. Some come with an understanding of what is to be expected. Some do not. And some are neither hero nor villain, but simply innocent pawns in a game where the rules are deadly and the winner, truly, can take it all. Now, only one question remains: On which side of the battle lines do you fall? ** Please note: Although parabolical is a multi-fandom RPG set in the Angel-verse, knowledge of the show Angel the Series and/or Buffy the Vampire Slayer is not required. ** post comment

[22 May 2008|10:55am] Rules-Character List-Format-Application-Sample Application-Plot-Game Facts-Played-Bys-Backstory-Icon&PB Sources trial_ooc-time_of_trial-trial_mod 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? In 1980, Severus Snape overheard a prophecy about the person with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord. However, before he could hand over this knowledge to Voldemort- he was apprehended by Dumbledore. Knowing that Severus Snape could never betray Lily Evans, he convinced him not to pass on the Prophecy. Instead, using the knowledge that Severus Snape was an excellent Occlumens, they managed to create a false prophecy- one about the Dark Lord rising to power in the future, however, they don't say when. It is open ended, but the Dark Lord believes his only inside man at Hogwarts. He has no choice. Though he has been convicted of unspeakable crimes, he manages to disappear. He travels the world- studying anything he can in every country from Romania to Albania. Awaiting the day he will rise to ultimate power. The terror stops. Lily and James Potter have their son, Harry James. The Wizarding World is at peace once more. This group of wizards that caused terror earlier seem to have disbanded. However, they are merely lying in wait. Only meeting in secret once every few years to see who has remained faithful- those who have not mysteriously 'disappear'. It is at the Qudditch World Cup when these blood supremacist decide to ultimately make themselves known. They attack the camp outside the stadium. They Auror's aren't quick enough to apprehend them. The only thing that's left is the horrible green mark hanging in the sky. While Tom Riddle is their ultimate suspect, they have no proof. He has not yet "Returned" from his study abroad. When he does, Dumbledore is ready. The man who returns to Hogwarts to apply for the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor is charming, and brilliant. Dumbledore hires him on the spot- what better way to watch your enemy then by keeping them under your own roof? Dumbledore is certain that he will not run again, and if he is the one doing these terrible things, they will catch him at the school. 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. Harry Potter and Tom Riddle are about to cross paths, For neither can live while the other survives... Most Wanted: Severus Snape, Peter Pettigrew, Arthur Weasley, and Cho Chang among many others! post comment

Ever at the Ready [22 May 2008|12:56pm] - Mod Journal - RP Comm - OOC Comm - Graphics - - Plot - Rules - Character List - Played-Bys - Team Info - Apply - - Contacts (F-Lock) - Advertise (F-Lock) - So we all know that Captain Jack Harkness runs Torchwood Three, that Torchwood One was destroyed in the Battle of Canary Wharf, that Torchwood Two is headed by "a very strange man" and that Torchwood Four is currently misplaced. Well that's all fine and dandy, but things are about to start changing. Torchwood One is reopening just outside of London and is now known as Torchwood 1.1 and Torchwood Two's leader has been replaced. Torchwood Three of course isn't any different, with the exception that Jack has been missing for a bit. The big thing is that Torchwood Four is back on the map, headed by the same person it had been before it was 'misplaced'. It seems Torchwood Four, headed by one Major Charlie Sheppard, had a minor malfunction involving Cardiff's rift. In fact, Torchwood Four is located right near Torchwood Three, or at least it was until it and its team got pulled into another universe. Which is where Lucian Devereaux comes in. It seems that he got a hold of a Time Agent's vortex manipulator in the far future and has been using it at his own pleasure. Well, until it backfired and he was sent to the present and made the rift flux, sucking Torchwood Four into it. Luckily, Major Sheppard wasn't there at the time. Now as for Lucian, he'd been jumping through time randomly and unwillingly as he tried to fix the vortex manipulator. During this time he realized that he'd jump from the present in Cardiff to some different point in time and then back. Along the way, he managed to bring back people with him who shouldn't be during that time, and that caused the rift to go haywire, also bringing people to the present that shouldn't be there: those that are dead, those who aren't born yet, and those in other dimensions. And so, Torchwood realized they needed to work extra hard to try and stop this and thus re-established Torchwood Four, somehow convincing Charlie to head it once more. And that is where we begin... Ever at the ready is a Torchwood/Doctor Who RP that allows for any character from either series (old and new) to be incorporated, as well as original characters! It takes place around the start of season two. We've only just started and we're looking for a majority of the canon cast still, including The Doctor (any of them) and most of Torchwood Three. We're also looking for bad guys and aliens to be hunted down, as well as people to fill up the other Torchwood Teams. If you think you're ready, then we're ready to have you join the team! We're Currently Looking for: MARTHA, OWEN, DOCTORs, CAPTAIN JOHN, RHYS, other Canon characters from Torchwood, Doctor Who or Sarah Jane Adventures, people for the Torchwood Teams, Civilians, Aliens, Bad Guys, and more! post comment

[22 May 2008|06:49pm] ourconvictions via xgene Our Convictions is a post X-2 game, in which we spin a possible arc from the movie and make it into our own. We offer fun and excitement, which we are aiming at an audience who may have done movieverse games before, but we offer much more! With over a week of planning, and discussing out possible plots and arcs, we wouldn't have done this game if we couldn't have a lot of room and plottage to act upon. This is definitely not like those other movieverse games where people just sit around the mansion. We are attempting something that could last for many months to come. It is truly sickening to think of how many games die within the first three weeks, but the mods here are trying to break that stereotype. We're offering endless possibilities, which include both plot and character development! Ever wanted to introduce famous comic villains into the movieverse atmosphere? We have plans to do so - from the Dark Phoenix to Onslaught, to the Shadow King--we have months and months of planned plots for YOU. -------------------------- PREMISE With the broken mind of his only son as a tool, William Stryker gave the command. With a controlled Xavier by his side, the task was daunting…but not incredibly difficult. With a simple whisper, the deed had begun. The world’s mutants were to be destroyed. Stryker was not, however, unchallenged. To start the chaos at hand, a newly returned, and unbrainwashed, Cyclops was there to help. There was not much he could do. Five minutes... five minutes was all it took for 30% of the mutation population to be completely wiped out. It was up to Nightcrawler and Storm, the effects of Stryker‘s plan already pounding on their bodies, to teleport themselves into the Cerebro chamber, and put an end to the destruction... -------------------------- WANTED Definitely males, which isn't that far off from the obvious. BEAST, CANNONBALL, SIRYN, BANSHEE, SUNSPOT, MIMIC, MULTIPLE MAN, MARROW, CHAMBER, and more! Game opens TOMORROW! post comment

[22 May 2008|09:34pm] application | hold a character | taken characters game rules | timeline of events | magical law What's the price of freedom? In 2003, Voldemort and his forces won the war against England. England was the last in a series of countries to fall to the Dark Lord, its populace overwhelmed by swift and furious attack. However, the victory won, while brutal, was not expected by the Light. Those of pure blood and willing to swear allegiance were able to resume lives close to normal. It was only the ones who continued to fight who suffered the brunt of his will as society began to shift toward a police state, with the Death Eaters at its helm. But the loss of freedom was worth it to many, who thought it was a fair trade for the security that it brought. In 2008, as muggles are beginning to be eliminated through sterilization, reeducation and manipulation, there are many who remain unaware or who deliberately choose to ignore the world being constructed around them. But there are those who cannot. A small group of Resistance fighters has formed. Led by those who managed to evade capture or escape the wizarding prison of Azkaban, this group fights a slow war amongst the people of London, trying to build support against a government that has sworn itself a threat to all who oppose it. The Aurors have changed into a force to battle what the Dark Lord considers dissent, striking at the few individuals it can find. Which side will you fight for? À Armes Égales is an AU, post-war Harry Potter roleplay set in 2008; it is Deathly Hallows non-compliant. This game will focus on dark material, and is not suitable for underage players. À Armes Égales is set to open on May 24, 2008. post comment

[22 May 2008|09:56pm] Rules | Character List | Application | Contact List | Played By's Are you growing tired of all those Post War games that seem to be popping up left and right now that the seventh book has been released? This game will take you back - back to when there were games where plot was the centric focus and things weren't always happy. Instead, they were serious, dark, and unknown. At Snitched, Voldemort was never defeated that night when Hogwarts went under siege. In fact, that night has yet to occur because the Death Eaters arrived at Bill and Fleur's wedding and captured many key Order members and guests in attendance. Some died, but most were imprisoned or fled somewhere safe. Since that fateful night, Voldemort has gained innumerable strength to the point where he is unstoppable. He owns the Ministry and the Wizarding World. Secretly, he owns the Muggle world and part of Europe where the Death Eaters flourish. Now that his reign is no longer contested, he has set about putting his plans into order. Muggleborns, Halfbloods, and those that are traitors to the cause are imprisoned. Some might be allowed out as slaves, providing of course that there are Death Eaters and purebloods who want them. Those that have yet to be caught are forced to flee and hide. Those that are still pureblooded are allowed to live neutrally amongst society. They are not forced to take the mark, but they are required to obey the new law - Voldemort's Law. Their loyalty must be unwavering - if they support another cause, then they must be absolutely mum about it. But word to the wise: Don't say Voldemort's name; the word itself will surely lead to the capture of those responsible no matter what their status in society. This game is not for the faint at heart. There will be dark themes and happiness will only be found in hidden corners or alleyways. There are those who will fight, who want Voldemort's reign to end, but doing so will take time, tears, blood, and sacrifice. post comment
