...Angels and Demons can’t cross over onto our plane. So, instead we get what I call half-breeds. The influence peddlers. They can only whisper in our ears. But a single word can give you courage, or turn your favorite pleasure into your worst nightmare. Those with the demon’s touch like those part angel, living alongside us. They call it the balance. I call it hypocritical bullshit....

The Premise There’s a world beneath the London you know, a world that smells of brimstone and blood, where magic lives alongside the mundane. It’s a world where you can buy abilities at a travelling Market, where when the circus rolls into town it brings nightmares with it, and is presided over by an organisation so old, time has forgotten when the Library began. It’s a world where anything goes, where London is just another board for the game and gamble for souls is taking place and you might - just might - encounter one of Heaven’s own or a demon amid the crowds on the underground and they play to win.
Influenced by Hellblazer, Neil Gaiman and urban fantasy, At the Gates is an original supernatural game with noir themes, focusing on the lives of those jostling along in the magic world in shadowy other-London. Magic is harsh, horror is common, character realism is encouraged

Wanted We need: those who are trying to understand and adapt to abilities -- the firestarter with the potential to make everything a bit smoky, the telekinetic fighting for control, the weather-manipulator with a few false starts to become residents at Haven, the in-game sanctuary for the struggling. We need Librarians, those well-controlled individuals who know exactly where the balance ought be between Heaven and Hell and who are unafraid to face off the denizens of both in order to fight for it. We need the self-interested, those souls striking out and fearless of repercussions. We need the rest of the Market family, the magical mafia themselves with fingers in all magical operations across the city!

Everyone knows the government keeps secrets. What's really in Area 51? Who really shot JFK? Where is Hoffa really buried? In 2006, another secret, another source of conspiracy theories, was born.
Six scientists combined their ideas and expertise to create clones of real people. These clones were then implanted with memories and personalities, even abilities, of people from other dimensions, fictional characters to us, and then released for observation into an elaborate underground city.
The clones don't know that they're clones; their memories are altered to know only the things their scientist creators want them to know. Scientists and students from universities all over the world are welcomed to the secret facility on a strict recruitment basis to study the daily lives of these clones as family members, friends and associates.
Will you be a clone, forced to choose between ignorance and knowledge, or will you be a scientist, trying to study the clones while maintaining the secret of the city? |

She calls herself "The Gossip Witch", and no one knows her true identity. All they know is that if there's gossip in the Wizarding community, The Gossip Witch knows it, and she's not afraid to print it. Entries from this unknown source appear in the journals weekly; printing everything there is to know about the lives and scandals of former Hogwarts graduates (even things she shouldn't be able to know). She may use initials, but just about everyone knows who the rumors are about. Will your character end up on Gossip Witch's daily dishings? And how will this affect their lives, their relationships, and their emotions? No matter how it plays out, you know you love her...
The Gossip Witch has been open since January of 2010. We are accepting applications for all canon characters in the wiki or Lexicon, but are especially looking for:
George Weasley, Percy Weasley, Ernie Macmillan, Zacharias Smith, Terry Boot, Parvati Patil, Padma Patil, Lee Jordan, Roger Davies, Marietta Edgecombe, Viktor Krum, Theodore Nott and more. |

They say it's paved with good intentions ….
On April 20, 1979 an owl arrived in the office of one Albus Dumbledore. The note was unsigned, but read, "He's created Horcruxes. Find them. Destroy them. End this." Dumbledore--unsurprised by the findings--presented the information to the young members of his rebellion. The Order of the Phoenix had two options: either hunt down the Horcruxes, or find another way to defeat the Dark Lord.

"April is the cruellest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire." The year is 2002. The fourth anniversary of the Second Wizarding War is fast approaching. The past three years have been filled with rebuilding and recovering from both the emotional and physical damage wrought by the war. The acting Minister, Kingsley Shacklebolt, has just come out on top in the most recent elections, the first ones held since the end of the war. He'll be staying in office another four years. The public has been demanding that something be done to prevent events like the rise of Voldemort and the Second Wizarding War from ever happen again. Acting impetuously, the Minister of Magic proposes the first of what will come to be known as the Bones Laws. A seemingly innocent blood census is just the first step in an increasingly oppressive campaign against Purebloods...
❦ THE GAME IS OPEN AND LOOKING FOR MUGGLEBORNS, HUFFLEPUFFS, HALFBLOODS AND MINISTRY WORKERS ❦

The Land of Make Believe
Where anything is possible...
You open your eyes and you are in a stately room with fine trappings and thick stone walls. You look outside and a dragon flies passed your window and yet that is clearly a sprawling modern city you see in the distance. You search your room for any clue as to how you arrived in… where are you? All you find is a scroll welcoming you to The Make Believe Castle and to enjoy your stay in The Land of Make Believe. And that's when things get odd...
The Land of Make Believe is a panfandom RPG open to any character from any fandom.
