Forgotten Gods [11 Jun 2008|01:01am] About / Rules / Cast List / Held / Wanted / FAQ / Resources / Apply What happens to the old gods, once their temples have crumbled and their believers have abandoned them? Do they die, forsaken, alone? Or do they remain, still wandering the world, immortal, surviving off what little belief they can gather? Forgotten Gods follows the lives of these old deities, brought to America long ago by explorers or immigrants from their homelands and eventually abandoned or lost from memory. As their worshippers moved on to new religions, the gods' powers waned - for a god, at its most pure essence, is no more than an idea, and an idea is worthless if there is nobody to believe in it. Some have passed, forgotten, from the world, while others have fallen into madness. Some have simply tried to adapt, to make a life for themselves in this place without gods, getting by on what little scraps of worship and belief they can garner. Others are more radical, attempting to regain the power that was once theirs, to revive their followings. And then there are the New Gods. Gods of cars and computers, television and radio, cities and highways, all those things that modern Americans put their faith in. They are young, at the height of their power. These newcomers are regarded dismissively by some of the older gods, who have seen so many new deities rise and fall in their time; jealously by others, who wish to reclaim the power for their own; and by all with a deep wariness. Inspired by the world of Neil Gaiman's American Gods, this game invites players to step into the roles of deities, old and new, to create their own modern mythology. Now Open. post comment

Ever at the Ready [11 Jun 2008|07:21am] - Mod Journal - RP Comm - OOC Comm - Graphics - - Plot - Rules - Character List - Played-Bys - Team Info - Apply - - Contacts (F-Lock) - Advertise (F-Lock) - 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: MARTHA, OWEN, DOCTORs, CAPTAIN JOHN, RHYS, other Canon characters from Torchwood, Doctor Who or Sarah Jane Adventures, people for the Torchwood Teams, Civilians, Aliens, Bad Guys, and more! post comment

[11 Jun 2008|07:26am] Rules | FAQs | Taken PBs | Males | Females | Application | HELD | TAGs The year is 2003, the new renaissance for the magical world has flourished after the war. It seems that everyone has forgotten about past events and have moved on. Not everyone moves on easily...As the ministry gives magical journals to every resident, people begin to wonder for what? Isn't peace already there? As the wizardry world rebuilds so does certain things that shouldn't be re built. Lucius Malfoy hasn't moved on that easily. Even if he did vow to be good. Nothing good ever lasts, now does it? As time passes by his hunger for power rises and each passing moment is making it harder for him to achieve that goal. Say hello to the new Dark Lord. Behind the backs of the Order of Phoenix , Lucius builds his dark army with followers who are hopeful of another apocalypse and this time, Lucius was prepared. As he found an artifact that could bring the dead back, he thinks on who to use it? And how many people. The only problem with the artifact is, that once you are reborn to before your death, you are the opposite.... So what did this mean? If you were good before your death, now you were bad? His plans exactly. What was once dead walks amongst the living. And with a taste for blood. Remus Lupin and many others on the wrong side. No one seems to notice for a while until they see it for them selves. Why would dead loved ones return? Who was doing all of this? Questions begin to be asked as the ministry slowly loses control to their utopia. It seems that no one can answer the questions, not even Harry Potter. Who will stand up and fight this time? Will anyone be willing to risk their new families or loved ones for another war? Are they ready for what's planned for them..? In the end you look for hope but never get to find it. It seems that all good that has existent, all dreams that were made, have been destroyed;piece by piece. No one is safe any more. It's a matter of time before catastrophe happens.

[11 Jun 2008|10:53am] plot • characters • pb's • rules • application • contact list Death; the end of life; the total and permanent cessation of all vital functions of an organisms. Each and every life ends as such, with one final breath but what if you could take that back? Take back that last breath, breathe life into someone long since past.. in the year 2023, it's not all that far fetched. From out of the Department of Mysteries finally came the veil. It was due for inspection as many odd things had been happening in the room containing it. It was thought that the removal of said object wouldn't upset much but it did. The very same day that the ancient object left the place it had resided for hundreds of years people began popping up. Normally, that wouldn't be a particularly terrible thing but the people whose faces started appearing at both the Ministry and Hogwarts were known to be dead. As it were, apparently, the dead were returning. With death in a reverse cycle, the Ministry is in a panic. No one knows why they're here, how they've come to be, and what this means for their world. The dead and the living have always had a rather thick line between them and with people stepping over - with souls becoming flesh and blood once mnore - who's to say what will happen?

Halcyon Halls [11 Jun 2008|01:10pm] 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 once been set loose on the school. Memory loss. Sickness. Power switching... Was it an accident? Or are more sinister plans afoot? Will it happen again? Here you just never know... Welcome to Halcyon Halls. We're changing the future one myth at a time.

[11 Jun 2008|04:45pm] PREMISE | RULES AND REGS | CHARACTERS | CAST LIST | APPLICATION As Voldemort fell in defeat before his adversary Harry James Potter, many believed the story to be over. What more could possibly happen now that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was finally gone from their lives? After everything, surely Harry Potter and the British Wizarding world deserved to live peacefully amongst each other, building careers, and raising families. Rowling even gave the world a glimpse of how it would end, sharing an image of a happy future ... but nineteen years is a long time. With the future generation still carrying the prejudice of the ones before them could the Wizarding world truly be at peace? It would be this very question that would lead to an all new adventure for both Light and Dark. On June 20th, 2003 an emergency declaration was sent to all former Hogwarts students who graduated from the school between the years of 1990 to 2003. Inside each envelope there was a simply crystal suspended on a silver chain, the crest for the Ministry of Magic engraved on the stone. Confused, the students who received the gift reached out to touch the crystal only to find themselves transported from their homes to a new location. Harry Potter and the rest of his generation are now facing life in an unfamiliar location without magic to help to them. Their wands are useless and many of them are horrified to find themselves trying to survive as Muggles. Each person was given a small package of supplies, which included clothing, a small amount of money, and a generous ration of food supplies. In order to be returned home the former students must work together to solve the vague and erratic clues being left for them, but given their previous history will this experiment be too much for them to handle? The Ministries ultimate goal? To build respect. post comment

[11 Jun 2008|05:37pm] Rules | Character List | Application | Contact List | Played By's Are you growing tired of all those Post War games that seem to be popping up left and right now that the seventh book has been released? This game will take you back - back to when there were games where plot was the centric focus and things weren't always happy. Instead, they were serious, dark, and unknown. At Snitched, Voldemort was never defeated that night when Hogwarts went under siege. In fact, that night has yet to occur because the Death Eaters arrived at Bill and Fleur's wedding and captured many key Order members and guests in attendance. Some died, but most were imprisoned or fled somewhere safe. Since that fateful night, Voldemort has gained innumerable strength to the point where he is unstoppable. He owns the Ministry and the Wizarding World. Secretly, he owns the Muggle world and part of Europe where the Death Eaters flourish. Now that his reign is no longer contested, he has set about putting his plans into order. Muggleborns, Halfbloods, and those that are traitors to the cause are imprisoned. Some might be allowed out as slaves, providing of course that there are Death Eaters and purebloods who want them. Those that have yet to be caught are forced to flee and hide. Those that are still pureblooded are allowed to live neutrally amongst society. They are not forced to take the mark, but they are required to obey the new law - Voldemort's Law. Their loyalty must be unwavering - if they support another cause, then they must be absolutely mum about it. But word to the wise: Don't say Voldemort's name; the word itself will surely lead to the capture of those responsible no matter what their status in society. This game is not for the faint at heart. There will be dark themes and happiness will only be found in hidden corners or alleyways. There are those who will fight, who want Voldemort's reign to end, but doing so will take time, tears, blood, and sacrifice. post comment
