What if they were real?
The myths and legends.
The things that go bump in the night.
What if they were just like you? |
Since the dawn of time they've been blamed for all of life's oddities. A strange noise? It must be a ghost. Pets mangled and eaten? Maybe a werewolf got them. That pale man that never ventures out in the day? A vampire, surely. Children behaving badly must be changelings, and that table had to have been forced into your path by a mischievous sprite, now giggling at your misfortune.
The list goes on. For each being, there are hundreds of tales, most pure delusion of course, though much of it based in fact.
From Nessie and Sasquatch to the Bermuda Triangle and the Land of Mu, our world is filled with the unattainable, the unexplainable... that which we call Myth, or Legend.
Yet, like the Will O' the Wisp, or the ghost breath that sends a shiver down your spine, the truth tugs softly at our conscience. Whispers in the dark of a boogeyman in the shadows, or a fairy spinning gossamer tales in the corners of your mind. They are real. And in so many ways... they are just like you. They work. They feed. They even have children. And just like humans, those children go to school.
School however, isn’t always as just classes and homework. Strange old castles often have far more lurking about them than is so readily apparent. Ancient curses have been set loose on the school. Memory loss. Sickness. Power switching... Was it an accident? Or are more sinister plans afoot? Unanswered questions abound as the students and staff first try and understand exactly what has happened to them...
Welcome to Halcyon Halls.
We're changing the future one myth at a time. |

STORYLINE
July 24th 2004;
"By the time Skynet became self-aware it had spread into millions of computer servers across the planet. Ordinary computers in office buildings, dorm rooms; everywhere. It was software; in cyberspace. There was no system core; it could not be shutdown. The attack began at 6:18 PM, just as he said it would.
Judgment Day, the day the human race was nearly destroyed by the weapons they'd built to protect themselves."
Three billion lives vanish in an instant.

GAME INFORMATION
Never Safe is a panfandom, InsaneJournal RPG set in the post-Judgment Day world of the Terminator series. It allows characters from all fandoms to interact with each other in an apocalyptic world.
The game begins with your character surrounded by a ring of fire. As it dies down, they are able to make out the pulsing blue lights around the room as the TDE powers down. A shiver, and they discover they are naked, though there are clothes nearby. Generic coveralls in all sizes imaginable.
There's a knock on the door, giving your character the warning they need. Time to get dressed and head out to see what's going on.
With mankind on the verge of extinction, are you willing to take up the fight?
STARTS 1ST MARCH

Of course I have a secret identity. I don't know a single superhero without one. I mean, who wants the pressure of being super all the time?
The year is 2108, exactly 100 years in the future. Thirty years ago, people with superpowers started appearing across the globe, and not long after that, masked and caped Super Heroes started patrolling the cities, protecting justice and the innocent and effectively making all the everyday heroes almost obsolete. Lately, the government has been urging those with super powers to relocate to a new city designed especially for them. Located underground, the city (called "Haven") is massive and contains everything you could ever want. The only catch is that anyone inside the city is required to report once a week for testing - so the government's scientists can figure out what distinguishes someone with superpowers from the rest of the world. But don't worry, the tests are "harmless"! In fact, they even pay you for your time, right along with giving you free housing and a free car. What do you have to lose? But, of course, everyone knows the old adage. If it sounds too good to be true... ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) cityofheroes is a game based around former super heroes who have all relocated to one, fictional city. We're focused on character interaction and development through focusing on scenes and threading, with a minimal focus on journals and other forms of communication. We plan to offer prompts for character reactions as well as a place with no cliques and no OOC drama. This game is about writing and having fun!

~strings
there are just too many hp games out there that die because of inactivity. why do they go inactive? maybe because they lack freedom, plotting, or the boy who lived. in short, ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) strings is a different kind of hp game. we are epilogue, but we don't have a strict policy as to following canon. talk to us! we're very reasonable people.
over the years, most of us have grown to love our characters, no matter who you play. strings has a variety of characters, all of whom are the babies of our babies. if you loved playing pansy parkinson, how about giving amelia flint, her daughter a chance? michael corner? mike's got three boys, for you! so many characters have been pigeon-holded (good guy, bad guy) in the hp rp world and strings wants to break free from this. do what you want with your own character.
the game is called strings because somehow or another, everyone is connected in the world. it might take 26 different degrees of connections, but a always goes to z. the game is relationship centered. there are no dark plot lines that cause every other person to die or anything like that. we're here for development and there is no better way to get into your character's head than to play them!
various elements have been changed. if you are a die-hard canon fan, this game might not be for you. we didn't like rowling's epilogue. sorry, loves!

So we all know that Captain Jack Harkness runs Torchwood Three, that Torchwood One was destroyed in the Battle of Canary Wharf, that Torchwood Two is headed by "a very strange man" and that Torchwood Four is currently misplaced. Well that's all fine and dandy, but things are about to start changing. Torchwood One is reopening just outside of London and is now known as Torchwood 1.1 and Torchwood Two's leader has been replaced. Torchwood Three of course isn't any different, with the exception that Jack has been missing for a bit. The big thing is that Torchwood Four is back on the map, headed by the same person it had been before it was 'misplaced'.
It seems Torchwood Four, headed by one Major Charlie Sheppard, had a minor malfunction involving Cardiff's rift. In fact, Torchwood Four is located right near Torchwood Three, or at least it was until it and its team got pulled into another universe. Which is where Lucian Devereaux comes in. It seems that he got a hold of a Time Agent's vortex manipulator in the far future and has been using it at his own pleasure. Well, until it backfired and he was sent to the present and made the rift flux, sucking Torchwood Four into it. Luckily, Major Sheppard wasn't there at the time.
Now as for Lucian, he'd been jumping through time randomly and unwillingly as he tried to fix the vortex manipulator. During this time he realized that he'd jump from the present in Cardiff to some different point in time and then back. Along the way, he managed to bring back people with him who shouldn't be during that time, and that caused the rift to go haywire, also bringing people to the present that shouldn't be there: those that are dead, those who aren't born yet, and those in other dimensions. And so, Torchwood realized they needed to work extra hard to try and stop this and thus re-established Torchwood Four, somehow convincing Charlie to head it once more. And that is where we begin...
Ever at the ready is a Torchwood/Doctor Who RP that allows for any character from either series (old and new) to be incorporated, as well as original characters! It takes place around the start of season two. We've only just started and we're looking for a majority of the canon cast still, including The Doctor (any of them) and most of Torchwood Three. We're also looking for bad guys and aliens to be hunted down, as well as people to fill up the other Torchwood Teams. If you think you're ready, then we're ready to have you join the team!
We're Currently Looking for: CAPTAIN JOHN, TOSHIKO, people for the Torchwood Teams, Civilians, Aliens, Bad Guys, other Canon characters and more! |

Goldfinch Academy, a private boarding school for children of 'unnatural' sexuality and gender, is a self governed school settled deep in the Ozarks of Missouri. Goldfinch prides itself on its ability to remain open without 'retraining' its students to send them off into the world. The nurturing environment instead lends to a free thinking society sheltered away from the cruelties slanted at their students genders and sexuality.
Its three sister schools have only recently been opened in California, Colorado, Minnesota, and New York catering to a wider base of children and young adults in need of a sanctuary.
Goldfinch Academy welcomes all students and staff, regardless of gender, age, sexuality, and hopes everyone who comes enjoys a feeling of safety, camaraderie, and happiness while they stay.

It's 2006 and Alice is busy planning a wedding, Bella is busy trying to figure out if she's really ready for everything, Jacob is finally back home but hurting and still pinning over Bella, and Heidi is about to set up camp in Port Angeles.

The story starts a week or so before Heidi comes to America with two other Volturi members. Rachel Black comes home and everything appears to be calming down. That is until more vampires show up... Not just the three Volturi, but the Denali family come down from Alaska for a visit to the Cullen's. They want to know why they've heard rumors about the Volturi coming States side.... Meanwhile the humans are just caught in the middle of mythological battles.
Let the tale begin.

Premise | | Rules | | The "canon" game| | The "dreamland" game | | OCC| | Application Process| | The Character List
We are a brand new game starting March 4, 2008. It is yet another Marauder Era game, fixated on sixth year. The First war has started, and according to The Head Master of Hogwarts, school life will not be interrupted. However, the factions are forming, friends and families are divided by both death and by their own personal choices.
This is a unique new RPG that will attempt to bridge the gap between the canon, slash, and crack Harry Potter role playing worlds. Elysium and Elysium Fields are respectively are the canon world and the "dream"world. The canon game attempts to follow the lives of the Marauders and the Hogwarts students of their era. The "dream world" is where the djinn sweep their victims off to, and there, Most ANYTHING can happen.
Elysium is where Voldemort's strength is gathering, and he and his followers are preparing their sack on London. At Hogwarts, life goes on as usual,and no one is aware of the djinn's presence. There are vague memories of strange dreams, but most of the possessed are too confused by the"dreams" and have little more than vague (fuzzy) memories about what happened in their nightly visions. Eventually, the possess will gather and speak of their so called "memories", and Dumbledore will be involved.
Elysium Fields is our "dream world." Here, as we stated earlier, Most anything can happen. We ask that this site stays friends locked, and even then, warnings and cuts must be placed on the posts. We also ask that the players stay away from illegal activities, and act in an appropriate manner.
