britishlit British Literature [19 Aug 2008|01:04am] Characters | Rules | Contact | Friend All | Apply Premise | A-Levels/Clubs | Wanted List The year was 2007. Lancaster College, a private school for A-Level students in Oxford, began having a problem with their students. Many were failing their exams, deciding they didn't have the time or motivation to focus on their courses and studies. Parties began happening every night, teachers lost control, and the students began cutting, being disrespectful, and violent. The needle that broke the camel's back, however, was the library fire. It's still debated whether it was an act of violence, or if someone just left a cigarette burning, because practically everything in it was destroyed, but something had to be done, but what? It was the Headmaster who decided that it might be best for everyone if the students began boarding at school. It would give the professors a better idea what the students were like, allowing them to focus and improve on their classroom tactics. If they were able to approach the subjects in a way that the students could grasp, then the students would surely benefit. So, the school was closed down that December, and the Headmaster called in construction crews to build another building- a four story dorm. After several months, Mullen Hall, Lancaster College's newest addition, was ready for use. A few students weren't exactly happy with the idea of a sixth form boarding school. To them, it severly limited freedom. But to most, it gave a good idea what University would be like. So a handful of teens signed up. It is now 2008 and the new school year is just beginning. Will the Headmaster's idea prove successful? Will the students finally buckle down and learn or will they continue to fail their A-levels? post comment

[19 Aug 2008|01:36am] o1. Nolanverse post-TDK Batman Group PSL. Gotham's White Knight kept his promise of giving Gotham eighteen months of clean streets, but the sands of time are running out on that legacy. As though on cue, the Joker has just escaped Arkham with the help of his lovely assistant Dr. Harleen Quinzel, releasing some very dangerous and some not so lethal patients into the streets in the process. Harvey, pronounced dead on scene in a brave attempt to stop Batman on his vengeful rampage, remains very much alive (story up for negotiation), as is Rachel who was rescued at the last minute and held in forcible confinement by one of the Joker's followers who developed an obsessive attachment to her. Our first story arc is entitled The Killing Joke and focuses on the escape of the Joker and its immediate aftermath, as well as the revelation of both Harvey and Rachel's survival. Second story arc to be determined as game progresses. The cast list is HERE. Any character not on the list are welcome to join. No applications required, but multiple paragraph responses are very much the norm and expected. Simply create a separate journal for your character and request to join theknightfall, knightfallooc and knightmares. Please don't hesitate to contact any of us on AIM to discuss storylines beforehand. We desperately need our Harvey filled! o2. DCverse Gotham City game, set in present day. "Okay, lets say that Batman is chugging along, doing his thing. He's defending Gotham from all the villains, putting them away in Arkham (some people, multiple times - pesky buggers don't want to stay in!). It's all going all right, for now. There don't seem to be any serious brewings going on. You'd think Batman's life would be getting easier, right? Wrong. New villains are popping out of the woodwork every day, weirder ones (like the Polka dot guy, what is that??), and a few of them with actual influence. Rumors of a lady who has a thing for plants, some comedian with a freaky big grin, this other guy who really likes penguins. And worse. In the post 9/11 world, the government has been cracking down on everyone. Even Batman. Terrorism is a new scary threat, and who can be sure this guy in a bat suit isn't some new form of insurgent? Cops who normally would have given him a nod and a wave are now giving him the evil eye, wondering if and when he's going to go berserk. Even the President has spoken out against his type - these vigilantes who don't conform to the law. The Patriot Act has only encouraged the government to look into and track "heroes". Not only is the government interested in the innerworkings of the Bat and his buddies, but in a world of complete and total media coverage, it's hard for him to get away from the paparazzi. Photos of Batman sell for thousands. In a fight? Much much more. The public got a taste of Batman and want more - they want to know everything, even his secret identity. Especially his secret identity. That's not all. Gas prices are up (back in storage, batmobile!), housing market is down (hope that manor is paid off!), the world is getting hotter by the minute. Somethings, not even Batman can fix. The year is 2008, and it's modern times." The mod journal is entente, where everything you need to know is located, including an ultra handy timeline of everything that transpired in the game to date. Bruce and Harvey would particularly love to see Rachel being played! post comment

[19 Aug 2008|03:44pm] - Mod Journal - RP Comm - OOC Comm - - Plot - Rules - Character List - Played-Bys - Team Info - Apply - - Contacts (F-Lock) - Advertise (F-Lock) - As the crew of Galactica jumped into the orbit of the green and blue planet, a wave of shouting erupted throughout the entire ship. They had finally made it. Friends embraced each other, lovers kissed, and children bounced happily. The truce between the Cylons and Humans remained steady as each gazed upon the beautiful planet known as Earth. They had found their new home, and they were going to share it. The planet would help continue the existence of each race, or so they thought. The few that were given the chance to step foot on the ground soon found the planet not to be up to their expectations. There was nothing left; the planet was in ruin. Something had happened many years before their arrival. How could this desolate place be home of the Thirteenth Tribe? How could it be home to anyone? The group looked over the land, unable to comprehend what could possibly have done this to a planet. There was silence; everyone was too surprised to speak, and too downtrodden to suggest that it was only part of the planet. Before anyone had a chance to return to the Raptor, Dr. Gaius Balter stumbled across a piece of technology that was foreign to him. He stood in front of the DHD and peered over it, recognizing the shapes as constellations. In fact, he recognized quite a few of them, from this galaxy and their home galaxy. As he examined the device, Six appeared next to it, whispering in his ear and telling him to punch in a certain code. He listened to her, and did as he was told. Within moments, the watery-vortex that was the wormhole burst forth through the ring-like portal and the group was taken aback. The group cautiously approached the Stargate, curious as to what type of technological capabilities the 'Thirteenth Tribe' possessed. It was Kara Thrace, triggered by something in her memories, that passed through the Event Horizon first, followed shortly after by Lee and Sam. It wasn't long until the rest of the group made their way through. What awaited them on the other side was something that would surprise them even more: the past. A glitch in the system allowed the group to bypass Atlantis' precautionary measures, and they all arrived on the other side, guns pointed at them and Dr. Elizabeth Weir gazing down at them. And that is where the battle for humanity continued, for the groups all worked together to keep the Wraith and Ori from teaming up and destroying Earth together... The Event Horizon is a Battlestar Galactica/Stargate RP that allows for most characters from the series (New BSG, SG-1 & Atlantis) to be incorporated, as well as original characters! It takes place during the last season of SG-1/season 3 of Atlantis and the last season of BSG. We've only just started and we're looking for a majority of the canon cast still. There is a whole range of characters available, and OCs are welcomed. If you think you are ready to cross the Event Horizon, then we're here to meet you on the other side. We're Currently Looking for: ALMOST EVERYONE! WILL OPEN WHEN THERE ARE 5 MEMBERS (or if we want to start earlier) post comment

Durmstrang Uber Alles - a Durmstrang-based HP game on Inksome [19 Aug 2008|04:04pm] PREMISE The Durmstrang Institute was created for the magical instruction of Eastern European wizards. Once upon a time, it accepted all promising students who had magical aptitude, but now, any time that Muggleborns and halfbloods were ever accepted is a distant memory, in favor of rigid social classes and tradition. Students are ingrained with a sense of superiority or inferiority [one that often starts at home], a respect for tradition and appropriate social behavior, and most importantly a strong desire to succeed and to be the best. Students that graduate from Durmstrang are the most talented, the strongest, the brightest, and the best. The only question is...are you strong enough to survive until graduation?

Pentamerone! Fairy Tale and Folklore RP on Inksome. [19 Aug 2008|10:49pm] //PREMISE// What happens after ever after? Do our beloved heroes and villains vanish? Are they doomed to repeat themselves over and over again with each human retelling? Do they continue to progress and grow even when their most avid fans & biographers stopped listening to them decades, even centuries ago? Pentamerone is the last stronghold of human imagination. The hundreds of magical lands and worlds that used to exist in the minds of children are now in a state of decay. As a result, the figures of legend have fled to this newly imagined land. Some are afraid Pentamerone will merely become a graveyard for the last of the fairy tales, others are determined to start a new life in their promised land. It's up to you, and them, to decide how they will survive. Or not. //HELPFUL LINKS// the setting | character suggestions | taken characters | about/rules/faq | character guidelines | application | ic journal | ooc journal | mod journal ( characters wanted! ) post comment

[19 Aug 2008|11:53pm] characters ↔ rules ↔ faq ↔ application ↔ pbs professors ↔ quidditch ↔ beauxcoteau ↔ grounds ↔ links It's been ten years since the fall of Voldemort and the Wizarding World is once again at peace. Beauxbatons, the french Academie de Magie, and the idyllic Wizarding town of Beauxcoteau saw very little of the war, but even their slight unease has passed. Things have returned to normal within the walls of the school. Normal, but never boring. Death might not be hanging over their heads, but failure, humiliation and social ruin are. The students are struggling to find themselves, forge their futures and avoid the sometimes cruel atmosphere of school. They are falling in and out of love, trying to keep peace with their siblings, and attempting to live up to the expectations placed on them. And then there are the students who don't want peace, don't want to grow up and refuse to follow anyone else's rules. There are Quidditch games to win, dances that require dates and tests to study for. Normal? Maybe. Boring? Never. Academie de Magie is a social game off to a great start. It's been open since the 13th and is very active. Welcoming new charries of all kinds. Males especially wanted. Academie de Magie ↔ Academie OOC ↔ Mod Journal contacts ↔ friend tool post comment
