[13 Feb 2008|12:46am] The war is over. Harry Potter remains the first Master of the Three Deathly Hallows. But not the true master, since one has been lost. And then forgotten. The year is 2008. Harry Potter has been Head of the Auror Department at the Ministry of Magic for a year now. People are settling down, starting families, and for once in a long time the Wizarding World has been at peace. But something so important that has been released cannot stay forgotten for long. On December 21st 2007, a 4th yeah Gryffindor boy was serving his last detention before going home for the Christmas Holidays. He was near the outer edge of the Forbidden Forest collecting herbs for the Potions storage room that he'd managed to ruin with his spoiled potion. He was kicking through the snow near the edge of tree by the clearing when he found two peculiar stones. It was the darkness in colour and the strange way the light from his wand reflected it... He quickly stored them in his pocket when he heard Hagrid calling him and the stones were soon forgotten again. The next day most of the students had left Hogwarts and gone home. It was by an extreme coincidence that this young boy's mother worked in the Department of Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic. In the process of him coming home, the stones had been swifted from the boy's pockets to the Mother's pocket. It was a habit she had while doing the laundry, so nothing would get lost. Once the holidays were over, and the children had been sent back to school, all parents of course went back to the regular routines. The frazzled mother of course hadn't off from work for weeks, and now was returning again. With the stones in her pocket. She'd absently taken them from there and placed them on her desk. They sat there for weeks, until they'd covered with papers and books. Again, forgotten. But by another chance, a book and some papers were needed from this pile by an Unspeakable. The stones had been picked up in the process, and taken to the veil room. Unbeknownst to anyone, the stones fell on the rocks. Ignored, and picked around, until eventually... they came in contact with the arch... Gently, hardly anyone noticed right away, but a hand came and pushed the veil aside and a tall figure stepped out. He was soon followed by another man and two women. "Where are we?" "Godric... what have you gone and done now?" "I have done nothing!" "You always say that." "He has a point." "Well this time it is true!!" "Well we are no longer at the Castle." "Quite astute of you, Rowena." Their conversation ceased as the noticed the stunned Unspeakables standing around them. "You... came out of the veil! The Minister must be informed at once!" The mysterious four looked to the archway behind them, and all four seemed to nod to each other in agreement. "We will accompany you, in order to straighten this out," one of the men answered for the others. Once the room was clear and the arch way no longer blocked, again hands gradually came out from behind the veil. The voices louder. All of them anxious, fearful, confusion, excitement. Fighting for life. Some came staggering out before disappearing into wisps of light traveling far away from the Ministry. The stronger the essence, the longer they stayed, exhale lasting for an hour. And then there was one. A gleeful youth with curly blond hair. He stepped out of the veil much like the first four. He stepped out from the arch turning around, taking in the room. Then his eyes fell down till he saw the stones, his eyes a glow. He knelt down, picked them up in his hands testing the weight in his hands. "At last, I have it." was all he uttered as his excitement took control, and he too disappeared into a whisp of light to travel and reappear elsewhere. The stones, were no longer forgotten.

Born Into Magic: Open for Apps! [13 Feb 2008|06:26am] Rules | Setting | Taken Chars | Application | Contact Info (members only) | Ask The Mods | ooc Grindelwald has fallen. Voldemort has not yet risen. The Marauders are attending Hogwarts. And people all around the world go along with their daily lives. People all around the world, from all sorts of realms. This is not a typical crossover game where characters are dumped into the HP universe and have to deal with it. Instead, in Born into Magic, the characters are a part from this world from the beginning. Their backstories are adjusted so that they fit into the universe; a red-haired Legilimancer named Jean--code name of Phoenix drifts around the United States, listening to the rumors of a new Dark Lord. And the latest craze to sweep the world is that of journals, magically linked together and used as a form of communication--there are rumors that even the Ministry is using them to keep its employees informed and further rumors that the journals are part of a plan to monitor the populace and keep anyone like Grindelwald ever gaining power again. But people are customizing the journals and creating their own networks. People are creating their own cliques, revolutionary and counter-revolutionary and counter-counter-revolutionary. The world is changing, but more importantly, this world has been changed right from the start when characters that weren't meant to be there, weren't meant to be part of the story, were born into this world and changed how the story unfolded. Game opens 20th February, 2008. Applications currently accepted. post comment

Before Harry Potter could reach the diadem, before the fighting could truly begin, Death Eaters stormed the castle and it was over before it had begun. Finally, with the Boy Who Lived in his hands, Voldemort was free to do as he pleased with the Wizarding World. Those who were present at the battle, as well as all Muggleborns and those who are loyal to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, were rounded up. Hogsmeade was transformed into a concentration camp, and all of those who had been captured were imprisoned. Witches and wizards from all walk of life now live together, scattered throughout numbered buildings in the town. They have duties they must perform, chores that need attending, and what little freedom they do have is carefully watched by the Death Eaters who rule the town. If anyone is caught breaking the rules, they are punished - and those who declare loyalty to Voldemort and the Death Eaters are rewarded. Life is no longer a right; it is a privilege. All the while, the imprisoned Order of the Phoenix will do what it must in order to escape. But with little privacy, alert guards, and no magic at their disposal, all they can do is stay together and do whatever it takes to survive. Opening 22 February post comment

[13 Feb 2008|12:38pm] It's 2007. Approximately twenty years ago, mutants began surfacing in nearly every continent on the globe. No one quite knew the reason, governments not quite sure what to do, public response varying from support, to indifference, to utter hatred. In the United States, mutant communities began forming in the larger cities, pockets for solace and peace of mind from the ever-threatening "normal world". One such area appeared in New York City, at the center of which stood the mutant-oriented club "The Haven".

[13 Feb 2008|05:29pm] &netherworld; As it is known to mankind now when death grips a lifeform they perish and are sent into the earth where they will reincarnate into something beautiful and provide the world with the always looping circles of life and death. But, what if those always interlocking circles were bent and broken apart leaving the Valley of the Light forever separated from the Land of the Dead never to continue on the chain reactions of life, death and reincarnation. However this does leave the question: Where does one go when they die if these linked circles are torn apart? A question that has a solution only known to those who have passed on to see their new land. Enter the Netherworld. A sub-world once connected to the state of the living, the Netherworld is an area with many realms all connected to each other by strange portals. Although the Netherworld in itself is mostly a neutral land, there are certain realms that seem to be more of a threat than the others. It is true that to be in this world one must be dead and therefore shouldn't have the need for fear of any things that could be even remotely ominous - but with death comes fear and with fear comes pain. Dead one might be, food you may not need but even in the Netherworld blood and pain are as real as the living. There are four different realms joined together in the Netherworld, each one with their own creatures native to its grounds - it is up to those in the realms to decided for themselves which creatures are friend and which are foe. Judge not by their looks entirely for such things can be deceiving. Shelter can be found if you look hard enough in areas such as caves, and holes. They can even be built if one is creative enough to try. Food and drink are not necessities in the Netherworld as there is no hunger to be felt. There is only one large difference between the living and the dead carried into the Netherworld - the dead have no hearts. The similarities are as simple as if one is cut they will bleed and feel pain. Cold and warm tempuratures have effects on the dead although it is minor. Injuries sustained in death are carried over into the Netherworld as permanent scars. There is but one rule to the land that allows you to pass through realms so freely: the dead cannot visit the land of the living under any circumstances. The living may, however, visit the dead. Perhaps - if one is lucky enough to be called by the living for a meeting, that is. The Game will be opening on Sunday, February 17 &disclaimer; Netherworld and its moderators accept no responsibility for actions taken by the reader. All mature content has been cut and rated.

[13 Feb 2008|06:03pm] Rules || Apply || Taken/Held The Organization || The Outfit || Employment The Places || Housing || Pre-Mades The City of Gotham. Eleven minutes past midnight on the coldest night in November. This is where good meets evil. It’s a thriving metropolis by day, carrying successful investors, lawyers and business men to the very peak of their careers and holding them there like they are atop a pedestal. Shoppers and day-tourists from neighboring cities visit and stroll the magnificent streets, throwing their money at the highest designer bidder. The harbor is bustling with shipments coming in to stock the numerous warehouses along shore side with goods, small shops set up selling the freshest seafood this side of the Atlantic. But by night, that’s when you do not want to be caught roaming the streets. At night is when all the characters come out; when the streets are dark and the air is frigid. When the screams and gunshots start. When hitmen go on the prowl and when innocents loose their way. If you mind your own business, there’s a world of happiness for you here in the City of Gotham, but if you’re in it to cause trouble, trouble is what you will find. Here in the City of Gotham, hopes and dreams can flourish; if you need to get rid of someone there’s always an ex-KGB operative willing to take the job. Caught with your pants down? Judges love to take bribes. Need a fix? There’s always a Candyman on the corner. And why can you hear the cries from the insane asylum all the way from West 31st Street? Where are the heroes? Are they hiding? Have they fled? Where are the miracles? This is the City of Gotham, the drug to your disease, the bullet to your pistol. You need it, as much as it needs you. post comment

[13 Feb 2008|07:30pm] Rules || Character List || PB List || Application || Contacts || RP Community By the spring of 1999, the Order had collected and destroyed all of the Horcruxes except one; the locket. Coming face to face with each other before the locket was found, Lord Voldemort located the threat to the last piece of his soul. During the duel between the Dark Lord and The Boy Who Lived, one last powerful spell was cast from Harry's end, and Lord Voldemort used his last resort; a time turner. Believing victory to be in their grasp, the people rejoiced; wizard and muggle alike. The two communities worked together to push back the last remnants of Voldemort's army of monsters, and together rebuilt their homes. No longer able to hide the wizarding community from the muggle world, the two Ministers announced that the alliance between the two worlds was there to stay. Knowing that a fragment of Voldemort’s soul was still out there, the Order continued their desperate search for the locket. ....... With the beginning of a new year, 2003, the people were awakened to the truth when the Death Eaters, along with their allies of magical creatures, attacked the New Years Ball held by the Ministry, and the Dark Lord announced his return. Hundreds were slaughtered and few escaped unharmed before the Death Eaters withdrew, content to let their victims lick their wounds and think about what had occurred. Once again reassembled, the Death Eaters continued their recruiting that had begun before their attack on the ball and planned their next course of action. With the abrupt knowledge of the return of their worst enemy, the Order threw all efforts into their search for the locket that contained the final fracture of Voldemort’s soul; the deaths at the ball weighed heavily on their shoulders. The Ministries of the Muggle and Wizarding communities immediately strengthened their defenses and began their own search for those responsible for the lives lost. There are those who doubt the validity in believing that the Death Eaters have returned, while others take this opportunity and use it for their own personal gain. Groups of individuals use the guise of the Death Eaters to inspire fear and obtain worldly goods. Confusion, doubt, and old fears riddle the minds of the populace, causing trust to become a scarce thing. With deception becoming a more common art, even the tight knit within the Order can be penetrated. First blood has been drawn; now is the time for war. The Death Eaters have a plan to bring the Ministry to the ground and leave the Wizarding world at their feet.
