Basis of Everything [09 Nov 2008|12:09am]
basis of everything


It's 1977; school has started in earnest, and everyone is settling in for yet another perfectly normal year at Hogwarts. The homework is piled on, the threat of looming exams being beaten into ignorant minds, but all the while... something doesn't feel right.

It's so much darker this year than it was last year. The days seem to be shortening beyond comprehension. The fog is thick and cold and constant, not to mention the fact that everyone seems so glum. There are disappearances being noted in the newspaper, but everything seems vague, as though someone knows what is going on, but too afraid to voice it aloud.

The teachers seem a bit on edge, uncertain how to handle the evil that is lurking in the shadows. The students, for the most part, are completely unaware of what is going on, even those whose parents are deep in the throes of swearing their allegiance to one side or another. The students, it seems, live in a world of their own, one untouched by the misery and doom of the outside world.

No one will say aloud what is really happening. Even after the attacks on Beauxbatons and Kinnitty, there is too much fear to put a name to the tragedies. People are too quick to label them as accidents, or to pretend that just because nine seemingly safe months have passed, that it's time we forgot our fear of what lurks unseen. The disappearances? They're not worth mentioning... right?

There they are, standing on the edge at the basis of everything, wondering when they will fall
waiting to fall


Basis of Everything is a Marauder Era RPG set in 1977, in the Marauder's final year of Hogwarts. We're not too canon around here, and this is a slightly AU board. We don't take ourselves too seriously, and if you're going to call us up on having the wrong canon characters together... well, c'mon, this is a game!

Here at BOE, we pay attention to the canon aspects that matter and do our own thing otherwise. Characters behave as canon would dictate them to, with a little fandom mixed in there too. We're not too strict, and we're all here to play and have a good time. If, like us, you like to create drama or partake in funny threads, then you're just our sort of person!

We were previously open on boe.pandoras-closet.net, an invisionfree forum, but have just moved to livejournal. It's fun and exciting, and a little new to us, so be gentle! We're the patient kind, and we have a lot of backstory. Our characters are developed and dear to us, and as a pretty large and friendly community, we're always looking for similarly minded people. So, take a look at our canon list and write us up an application, we'd love to have you!

APOCALYPSE NIGHT: A NIGHT WORLD RPG
Rules | Races/Terminology | Questions? | Timeline | Taken Characters
Wanted Characters | Application | Players | Moderator

The Night World isn't a place. It's all around us. It's a secret society of vampires, werewolves, witches, and other creatures of darkness that live among us. They're beautiful and deadly and irresistible to humans. They’ve been living secretly among us for centuries.

But now a battle is coming...

It's end of an era and the dawn of the new Millennium. The lines are being drawn. The new Night People are more ruthless and bloodthirsty than ever before, and they're getting ready to destroy the human world. But the light has its champions, too. Four have been born, four Wild Powers who can stop the darkness from winning... if they and their soulmates can survive.

Actively Seeking: MENFOLK, more witches (also preferably of the male variety), shapeshifters, vampire hunting humans, and BADDIES (because not everyone wants to be BFFs with their preferred food source).

Pentamerone - Fairy tales and folklore RP on Inksome! [09 Nov 2008|03:44pm]
//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.

Durmstrang Uber Alles - a Durmstrang-based HP game on Inksome [09 Nov 2008|06:01pm]
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?

Life, or something like it. { POST-WARS ENTERTAINMENT CENTRIC GAME } [09 Nov 2008|08:04pm]

A post-warts game which revolves around the entertainment industry
Five years after The End and the wizarding world is beginning to move on thanks to the suddenly booming entertainment industry and the addition of A Knights Walk, the all new off-shoot to Diagon Alley. With the sudden addition of new technologies both muggle (hello, television) and wizard (journals? yes, please!) the wizarding world is definitely looking to the future.

Life, or something like it is a post-hogwarts game which forgets about the epilogue and lets you decide exactly how things pan out. Focusing on the entertainment industry and character development rather than the fall-out of the war and it's hindrances on the wizarding world LOSLI has a friendly and fun atmosphere and is always looking for more players and diverse characters to add to the cast. As the game centers around the entertainment industry (music, quidditch and the new fangled television) many of its plots will be entertainment geared.

If you're a dedicated, self-motivated player who is looking for a nice paced character development centric game which is not all war and politics then LOSLI maybe the perfect game for you!
