Monitor Duty: that assignment everyone loves to hate.
All JLA members know that eventually they're going to be assigned a night up in space. It can be pretty boring, but generally they're prepared for that. Some are fine with the silence, content to meditate while staring out at the multitude of stars. Some bring office work, those young enough (or just ambitious enough) bring graduate work. Some even bring their children and wives. Everyone has something that helps them get through the long fifteen hour shifts in space.
Of course, let's not forget the most important variable of monitor duty. Who you're paired with can honestly make or break the occasion. Some would argue that spending fifteen hours alone with Batman isn't worth the three years of therapy one needs in result. On the other hand, it's those odd pairings during monitor duty that can sometimes breed the thickest of friendships. It's always fun when new duty lists are posted each month and exchanging grins or groans depending on who you've been paired with.
Some are happy with the boredom and monotony of the fifteen hour shifts, while others secretly wish that something exciting would happen. It's a mixed bag and you never know what's going to happen.

| Humanity Lost: A Post Apoc/Metahuman Rp |
[19 Apr 2008|09:34pm] |
It's the end of the world as we know it. Will you be able to survive?
It's the year 2013 and humans with superpowers are common place. The government had installed a registration program to keep track of these metahumans. Only problem was that most didn't take kindly to it. Banded together, metahumans rose up against the governments of the world and started a new world war. In a last ditch effort to win, the United States released a virus.
The virus killed metahumans and humans alike. When the dust settled, only a small percentage of the world's population was left. Cities were left in ruin. Now it's up to those left to continue on and try to make a life out of what is left. Who will rise up to try and make a new world? Metas or humans?
Humanity Lost is a post apocalypse roleplaying game that doesn't take place months or weeks after it happens but picks up in the direct aftermath. The group majority left standing are metahumans, humans with super human powers. If you like X-Men or other Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Heroes, The 4400, or other such fandoms, this rp might be for you. We are all original characters set in an original setting ran by friendly mods who do ads daily, not once a week like some rps. Due to the subject matter allowed, all players must be 18+.

Taariq
An original space/sci-fi rp
"To touch the face of God in the fading ray beyond the film of air that kept us at bay.”
Mankind has found the key to the stars and the bounty space brings. If you have the technology and you have the courage to venture where the map has not yet been filled in there could be such treasures to discover, or horrors beyond anything you could fathom.
Space ships are common, almost a third of the population own their own. Numerous planets and moons have been conquered and humans inhabit all quarters of their known universe. Alien species have been discovered but none with more intelligence than Earth’s great ape.
Our journey begins with the Taariq on a conquering mission in a newly discovered asteroid belt searching for viable and useful minerals found in the asteroids. The belt is about six month’s journey of now other human settlements, of course there are always some ships around but basically there is no one else out there except for Captain McKenzie-Malone’s ship. There mission now is over and they’re heading back. Her little crew of discovers and manual laborers.
However, they’re satisfactory job is distracted by the discovery of a drifting ship nearby. Completely off course and in a dire state on the point of exploding at any given moment it has already started to attract pirates and scavenger ships. Some of the escape pods unfortunately were sent towards the asteroid belt and most of the crew and traveling guests have been killed. Now there is just one last escape pod waiting to detach and the Taariq is on hand to pick any survivors up.
So are you a survivor of Sophia74xa3Z?
Or are you a member of the Taariq’s crew less than happy to have to share supplies for the next six month’s?
Either way, your journey has only just begun and you will learn that patience is a virtue and parlor games a life savior. A very large supply of alcohol is also a good thing.

What if the Prophecy that made Harry Potter the 'Boy who lived' hadn't been given to the Dark Lord? What if a falsified Prophecy had been passed to him instead?
In 1980, Severus Snape overheard a prophecy about the person with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord. However, before he could hand over this knowledge to Voldemort- he was apprehended by Dumbledore. Knowing that Severus Snape could never betray Lily Evans, he convinced him not to pass on the Prophecy. Instead, using the knowledge that Severus Snape was an excellent Occlumens, they managed to create a false prophecy- one about the Dark Lord rising to power in the future, however, they don't say when. It is open ended, but the Dark Lord believes his only inside man at Hogwarts. He has no choice. Though he has been convicted of unspeakable crimes, he manages to disappear. He travels the world- studying anything he can in every country from Romania to Albania. Awaiting the day he will rise to ultimate power.
The terror stops. Lily and James Potter have their son, Harry James. The Wizarding World is at peace once more. This group of wizards that caused terror earlier seem to have disbanded. However, they are merely lying in wait. Only meeting in secret once every few years to see who has remained faithful- those who have not mysteriously 'disappear'. It is at the Qudditch World Cup when these blood supremacist decide to ultimately make themselves known. They attack the camp outside the stadium. They Auror's aren't quick enough to apprehend them. The only thing that's left is the horrible green mark hanging in the sky. While Tom Riddle is their ultimate suspect, they have no proof. He has not yet "Returned" from his study abroad.
When he does, Dumbledore is ready. The man who returns to Hogwarts to apply for the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor is charming, and brilliant. Dumbledore hires him on the spot- what better way to watch your enemy then by keeping them under your own roof? Dumbledore is certain that he will not run again, and if he is the one doing these terrible things, they will catch him at the school.
The year is 1995, When Harry, Ron and Hermione return to Hogwarts. A few changes have been made to the staff over the summer, the most noticeable being the new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor; A Mr. Tom Marvolo Riddle. His new post is widely questioned by the wizarding world; The man has been convicted of murders throughout the seventies, why would Dumbledore hire him to teach young children? Dumbledore simply plays it off saying that he has applied "twice before". That he has not been able to be convicted of anything. Mr. Riddle has, after all, been studying abroad since the 1980's, and is very knowledgeable on his subject.
Harry Potter and Tom Riddle are about to cross paths, For neither can live while the other survives...
Most Wanted: Hermione Granger, Peter Pettigrew, Arthur Weasley, Luna Lovegood, and Cho Chang among many others!

The wizarding world is changing. Hogwarts is run by Slytherins and Purebloods while Halfbloods wear badges to mark them as different and Muggleborns are either in hiding or imprisoned. The hero of the age, Harry Potter, is on the run and the fact that he and his friends are still alive is all that keeps some people from going crazy. Not everything has gone wrong. The Order of the Phoenix is fighting back and doing what they can to help everyone, including creating a secret school in London where Muggleborns are hidden and taught. Ted Tonks plays the role of Secret Keeper. Then at Dumbledore's Army does their best to lift spirits and fight the anti-Muggle sentiments while things look to only be getting worse.
