2:42a	Ridgeway Resort PREMISE RULES FAQ TAKEN HELD APPLICATION Have you ever been sitting in front of your television, or in a movie theater, wondering what it would be like to meet the people flickering over the screen? In the lush surrounds of Ridgeway valley we make your dreams come true! Come down to Ridgeway Resort, where you can see all your favorite characters in person! And go home feeling all warm and fuzzy inside with memories that will last a life time. -------------------------------------------- Ridgeway Resort is a multi-fandom RPG, or panfandom if you will, that brings original characters together with canon characters. If you wish to have an OC it may be a guest or an employee, though if they are an employee they must have a fandom from which they originated. OC guests can only stay a few months before they must depart back to their home. Ridgeway is a pricey joint, having all these fictional characters on the payroll is expensive, and would cause even Scrooge McDuck to go bankrupt if he were to stay for too long! The only restrictions we have on the OCs are the play-bys for the guests. If there is someone playing a character(s) that is using a specific PB you may not choose that one. We can't have the original character guests looking like the canon characters, when it's the point of the resort for the guests to travel to the resort to see their favorite fictional characters. That would be a little too odd. Not that we don't welcome weird moments, we love those! But that would be just a little to much on some fragile psyches. If you enjoy the experience and want to become a permanent part of our happy little resort, you're welcome to apply for one of the cannon characters that are not taken, or take a swing at making an original character from a fandom. Any fandoms are welcome, we simply ask for a fleshy play-by rather than a cartoon or 3D one-to keep the players around you comfortable. Under New Management! (Comment on this)
3:33p	Xtragenealogy *Rules*Application*Held and Pending*Cast List* Mutation. It is the key to our evolution; it has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominate species on the planet. This process is slow; normally taking thousands and thousands of years, but every few millennium evolution leaps forward Mutants lived in secret for over fifty years; some of them could pass for human, but the majority of them were forced to hide in the shadows. Reduced to living in sewers and caves, these people never had a chance at a normal life. Finally one mutant decided that he had enough; his name was Erik Lensher. He formed a band of mutant known as the Acolytes and together they began attacking government buildings. Lensher took the name Magneto. When the Acolytes attacked the Pentagon another mutant by the name of Charles Xavier surprised the world by leading another team of mutants into battle against the Acolytes. Xavier called his team the X-Men, and he had been training them for years for just this moment. Xavier had always believed that when the time came humans and mutants could live together in peace, and he was willing to fight to make that dream a reality. Even though the American Government now knew the truth they decided that it would be better to keep things quiet for a while. They felt that the American people wasn't ready for this kind of news. The Acolytes on the other hand felt differently; they continued to attack buildings in the hope that somehow something would leak past the human media and everything would be out in the open. The X-Men continued to stop them at every turn, until Magneto finally became desperate. The Acolytes attacked the Smithsonian Museum when they opened a new exhibit, and the entire fight between the Acolytes and the X-Men was put on the local news. When the public finally learned the truth about mutants there was mixed feelings. Some people had no problems with the mutants, but others hated the mutants on sight. Things only got worse as time went by; it is now 2014 and it has been over ten years since the mutants have been outed into the public eye. Some things have changed in the past ten years, and some things haven't. For one several other teams have popped up. The Brotherhood are out to take down the humans; they are always attacking humans and the teams out to protect them. Generation X is a mutant team that is out for themselves; they will work for the highest bidder, but they do have some morals. They will not attack their own kind. Fantastic Four is a small family team who save anyone that needs it; they do their best to stay out of the war itself though. The one thing that hasn't changed is the fact that most mutants are still in hiding; they are afraid of what would happen if they came out. Within the last six months things have gotten worse than ever. Congress recently passed a bill that mandates all mutants to register their powers. Charles Xavier was scheduled to speak at the hearing for this bill, but he disappeared two days before it was to take place. The X-Men have no idea what happened to him, but they decided to go on with his work. This became more complicated when it was made clear that they would have to go against the humans to protect innocent mutants. So, Xavier's dream has been corrupted by his team becoming the rebels as well. What makes matters worse is that the people with gifts who aren't mutants have been welcomed with open arms into society. The government has turned them into a team known as The Avengers and it is their job to hunt down mutants who refuse to register. (Comment on this)
5:16p	are you a swot? Voldemort was dead and life went on. Students who had spent the last year fighting for their lives suddenly found themselves in a world with limitless possibility, capable of finding new direction and new purpose. There were job interviews to go on and bills to pay. Funerals and first dates. Second dates. Weddings. Children. Twenty-eight years later, a new generation of students will be boarding the Hogwarts Express- the children of war heroes and villains alike. With the Second War safely behind them in their History of Magic textbooks, these students find themselves blessed with the opportunity to live normal lives as normal teenagers, focused on Hogsmeade weekends, school events and N.E.W.T. exams and faced with the choice to either put the past behind them or settle for living in the shadow of their parents. Adolescence is challenging enough, a time of increasing independence and creative exploration. As these teenagers prepare for their last years at Hogwarts, will they step out as individuals -- away from their parents' pasts -- or will lingering prejudices continue to affect social order? SWOTTING is a next-gen, canon-compliant RPG focused on character development, interpersonal relationships and providing a realistic school experience at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. LOOKING FOR ALBUS POTTER, MATTHEW BOOT, RACHEL GOLDSTEIN, AARON GOLDSTEIN, IVAN DOLOHOV, CONNOR FINNIGAN, SIOBHAN FINNIGAN, ALLISON LONGBOTTOM, ROXANNE WEASLEY, QUIDDITCH PLAYERS, FIFTH YEARS, AND MORE!
