It was three years ago that the world watched while on every news channel, vampires came out. Those creatures thought to be myth, legend, something out of horror movies, novels. Now were proclaiming their existence, and thanks to their own advances in medicine, were demanding fair and equal treatment as citizens of the world. The world, was changed, and it wasn't about to stop any time soon.

Within the last three years, the world has seen vampires as citizens, a shifter vaccine for those were creatures still hidden among us, passing as humans, the legalization of raising zombies, new police forces to deal with new crimes and new kinds of criminals. No place is immune to this new world, its eyes forced open to the supernatural going on around it. New churches that can promise eternity with a bite, new protests over the dead not staying dead, new prejudices continuing the age old tradition of Us vs. Them.

Here in the city of Refrain, it is no different. You can choose to accept and find your place in this new world, dealing with those things most were happy to turn a blind eye to, ignoring those eyes staring at you from the dark of night. Or you can protest, you can rail against the changes, you can continue ignoring them. However, there is no going back. Vampires are recognized citizens of the world. Were creatures exist and are among us. Zombies can be raised for fun or profit. Magic. Is real. Adapt, quickly, because there's no telling what is out there in the shadows that have made it a Dark Refrain.


Dark Refrain is a mature roleplay based off of the world of the Anita Blake novels. Non canon characters only, with no word count, where writers can feel free to develop their characters at their pace within a world where the supernatural is out of the closet and now part of every day life.

The Brotherhood

Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr, two mutants who in another time and place would be great leaders, decided that their home and brethren need to be protected. And so the two formed the gang known as The Brotherhood of Mutants; the costumes and codenames that in another world would signify them as heroes representing their unity as a gang. The Brotherhood began to protect the streets of Mutant Town from outsiders, troublemakers, and the racist, skinhead gang The Friends of Humanity, whether it's through fights, extortion, patrolling their turf or setting a few examples.

metempsychosis - a modern day mythological rpg on scribbld [20 Jan 2011|02:00pm]

me·tem·psy·cho·sis

noun
\mə-ˌtem(p)-si-ˈkō-səs, ˌme-təm-ˌsī-\
Definition of METEMPSYCHOSIS
: the passing of the soul at death into another body

Think of any long-gone deity from mythology. Now imagine that they aren't truly gone but instead that their essence lives on...is reincarnated inside of that guy who sits next to you on the bus every day. Or Maureen from Accounting. Or maybe even inside of you.

The old deities once existed, once walked the Earth, and mortals trembled at their names. Long ago, they each slowly faded out, their existence only remembered as fables and tales. During this decline, one deity gathered up and called upon his or her last reserves of power and influence to create a reprieve, of sorts, for them all. They would find their essence--their souls if you will--not dissipated amongst the matter of the Universe but instead reborn inside a mortal body. The gods would be mortal, yes, their power would be greatly diminished, yes, and they might not even remember what they once were, but they would at least exist.

In 1970, Tom Riddle returned from a world of dark travels and began to take the wizarding world by storm; his army growing more and more powerful each day while the remainder of the wizarding world was left in shock, terrified for their lives and the lives of their families. Ten years later, the future is not much brighter as the Death Eaters swell in numbers and innocent people are thrown into Azkaban prison without so much as a trial. Families are being murdered, terror seeps into the Muggle world, and witches and wizards go missing every day, some deserting their homes to escape while there's still time while the fate of others is unknown.

Villages are empty, things as common as shopping can no longer be done safely, shop owners who dare stay open see hardly any livelihood. The WWN has been taken over, the Ministry is full of spies. Bonds are broken, trust is a thing of the past and friends hardly exist anymore. The world is a grim. Many get married quickly for fear that they may not have much time left to live. A select few with enough talent worth investing in are given the choice of servitude or death; those who are impure of blood and many who refuse Lord Voldemort meet the latter, however there is a beacon of light, a bright Phoenix rising from the ashes of this world and though they are outnumbered, they are fighting back. The brave few, the resistance to overcome evil. The Order of the Phoenix is making a stand... and they're winning.

The time has come to run or to stand and fight, to live in fear or to die bravely. The time has come to choose a side. It is time to decide what is worth living and dying for. Which side will you choose? 9, January, 1980 marks the beginning of the end of a ten year battle.

Most Wanted: James Potter, Peter Pettigrew, Barty Crouch Sr., Barty Crouch Jr., Edgar Bones, Alice Longbottom, Frank Longbottom, Slytherins from the class of '78, Alastor Moody, Arthur Weasley, Molly Weasley, Death Eaters (we are pretty Order heavy right now and would love to see more DE's to help balance it out), Ministry Employees.
