| Civil War: Brother against brother, friend against friend, and a whole lot of mutants caught in the middle. |
 |
| When the Superhuman Registration Act was passed in July of 2008 things changed immediately. While some heroes stood for it, others were firmly against it, and as the two factions split down the middle those on the outside began to call it a Civil War. Iron Man stood for his government's policy, while for the first time, Captain America stood against it. The two men were friends, as most on either side were at the time, but all could see the sacrifices needed to be made for their cause. Registered and aligned with the government, Iron Man's strike force began working on systematically bringing in those heroes who stood in opposition to the new act. With the support and funding from Tony Stark's personal wealth they were near unstoppable.
Charles Xavier did his best to shelter his students from the budding conflict as he had during threats of a Mutant Registration Act, but they were inevitably pulled in when the government realised that there was a 'stronghold' of people with superhuman powers sitting in upstate New York. Those students who wished to register were allowed, but very few wished to do so. In the following events, Scott Summers and Ororo Munroe convinced Xavier that he needed to go into hiding, leaving the student and the school in their care. With the Professor secreted away, Scott and Ororo held onto the school for as long as they could before they were attacked for a second time, this time by federal officials. Scott and Ororo were forced to take the students and run.
They fled to Mutant Town, also known as District X of New York City. But their problems aren't completely solved. They may have Captain America's backing, but Iron Man and his army are still searching for them, and rumor has it that people just don't come back from the place they're taken when they're caught. Like all other unregistered heroes they now find themselves mingling with they have to be careful and focus on avoiding Ironman and SHIELD, while at the same time trying to somehow protest the Act that's changing their entire lives. How long can they stay hidden and how long will the Civil War continue to pit friends against friends?

 | | no fear!It's 2022. James Potter II is a seventh year (and practically dancing off the Hogwarts express), and Albus Severus is bemoaning his OWL scores. Like with every year coming back to Hogwarts, there's a mix of emotions in the air. But unlike close to twenty-five years ago; one emotion is curiously absent.
...Fear. (Well, unless you're a first year, but that's beside the point)
There's no fear among the students as they mingle with their friends, no fear of what goes bump in the night. The threat of Death Eaters and Muggleborn hate crimes...none of it exists. There's no fear of getting news of a relative's murder or the Ministry being overthrown.
Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry is a much simpler place. Nothing terrible has happened there in-...well, accidents happen, and they are teenagers. There's only so much you can ask for.
The only war within the walls of Hogwarts is a prank war.
No Fear! is a (mostly) epilogue compliant Second Generation game. It starts with James Potter II's seventh year at Hogwarts. Headmistress McGonagall has entrusted every fifth year and above with a journal, as to strengthen friendships among older students, and to provide herself and the staff with some insight into the inner-workings of the volatile creatures known as... teenagers. Weasley's Wizard Wheezes has provided the journals, and of course, George Weasley always enjoys a laugh.
Most Wanted Characters: James Potter II! Lorcan and Lysander Scamander, Molly Weasley II, Louis Weasley, Dorian Nott, Muggleborns! Quidditch players!

Forever Dawn:
A Post-Breaking Dawn RPG
"Don't be afraid," I murmered. "We belong together."
I was abruptly overwhelmed by the truth of my own words.
This moment was so perfect, so right, there was no way to doubt it.
His arms wrapped around me holding me against him. It felt like every nerve in my body was a live wire.
"Forever," he agreed.

Breaking Dawn
A Post-Eclipse RPG
I’D HAD MORE THAN MY FAIR SHARE OF NEAR-DEATH
experiences, it wasn’t something you ever really got used to.
It seemed oddly inevitable, though, facing death again,
Like I really was marked for disaster. I’d escaped time and
time again, but it kept coming back for me.
Still this time was so different from the others.
You could run from someone you feared, you could try
to fight someone you hated. All my reactions were geared
toward those kinds of killers – the monsters, the enemies.
When you love the one who was killing you, it left
you no options. How could you run, how could you fight,
when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life
was all you had to give your beloved, how could you not
give it?
If it was someone you truly loved?

| Bitter Season: The End Of The World |
[31 Aug 2008|03:24pm] |
Humanity witnessed the pinnacle of its evolution. For a short span of time, Earth was a veritable paradise and the genius of man seemed untouchable. They say that history wields the greatest lessons of all; a saying that has always been proven true. As technologically brilliant as we had become, we did not learn from our mistakes. We did not learn to overcome our own hubris. Each country became lofty of its achievements, while simultaneously becoming greedy for those of others. Those caught in the middle were forced to chose sides. So began a war unlike any other and, when it all ended, the paradisiacal version of Earth was lost.
It has been thirty years since and the world has yet to recover. It lies mostly barren and uninhabitable, save for a few bleak cities scattered over the northern hemisphere. Human society has attempted to pick up the pieces but struggle to remain hopeful in the face of a despotic government that monitors and regulates their every move. Some flee the dictatorship to live on the outskirts, or even in the deserts – only to cope with the perpetual sand storms, lack of resources, and those mutated by the nuclear holocaust we unleashed to end the war.

Six years after the Battle of Hogwarts in which the Dark Lord Voldemort was defeated by the infamous Harry Potter, the lives of those affected by the war are returning to normalcy. The Ministry has been rebuilt, government restored to it's original status with security in place that most wouldn't have dreamed of more than half a decade ago.
Loved ones were lost, but over the years the date of the victory had become a memorial, and those who had fought against the Dark Lord and his followers were recognized as heroes for everything they had done. Some of them returned to work at the Ministry, others got married and started families, and the elite returned to their places in the Quidditch League.
Back to the pre-training seasons, practices, matches, semi-finals, finals, parties, and most importantly - the scandals, all has returned to normal in Wizarding Britain.
Bring The Sun is a Post-Warts Social Harry Potter Game based in 2004 around the British/Irish Quidditch League and the players within. If you're interested in Quidditch, messy transfers, scandals, and intense matches be sure to take a look!

| Darkest Days: An Original Mob-based PB Game |

Imagine a world where heroes no longer exist and the only way for the streets to become safe again is for one family to rise above the rest. Everyone has an allegiance here, the neutral don’t stay that way or alive for long. Each member of the police force is bought and paid for by someone, so there’s no point in calling when trouble comes knocking at the door.
The year is 2025 and Chicago doesn’t sparkle as it once did. Everything is dirtier, grittier and more worn down than the pictures in the history books like to show. Glitz and glamour have no place here because a war is brewing in the shadows. Bullet holes and dried blood litter the city’s streets and no one thinks twice if a person is gunned down a few feet away. But it wasn't always like that.
For years the Irish, Russians and Italians occupied the city on what could be considered "friendly" terms. Patrick O'Meara saw to it that the peace was kept and that each group saw to their own affairs. Each stayed out of the other's way and if someone stepped out of line, meetings between the heads of the families were called and it was settled quietly behind closed doors. Thanks to O'Meara, they were all able to coexist peacefully enough. Well, right up until someone decided to pull the trigger and open Pandora's box.
Dante Morelli, son of the Italian crime boss Antonio "Tony" Morelli, was the one who decided to take matters into his own hands. A lifelong grudge held against O'Meara's son fueled his plan for revenge and without consulting any of the elders, took a few of his most trusted soldiers and put an end to Patrick O'Meara's life. It was only a matter of time before chaos ensued and more blood was shed. No one knows exactly who pulled the trigger, but then again, it really doesn't matter.
Now, Conor O'Meara has been called back from Ireland to lead in his father's place and enact a little revenge of his own. All bets are off and both the Irish and Italians are gunning for each other while the Russian's, with a little meddling of their own mixed in of course, sit back and wait for the smoke to clear.
So who will it be? The Italians who specialize in drug trading and follow a list of commandments? The Russians who are notorious for underground operations and clean transactions? Or the Irish who are perhaps the oldest and most organized crime group in the city? The choice is yours and without it, you might as well be dead.

As the crew of Galactica jumped into the orbit of the green and blue planet, a wave of shouting erupted throughout the entire ship. They had finally made it. Friends embraced each other, lovers kissed, and children bounced happily. The truce between the Cylons and Humans remained steady as each gazed upon the beautiful planet known as Earth. They had found their new home, and they were going to share it. The planet would help continue the existence of each race, or so they thought.
The few that were given the chance to step foot on the ground soon found the planet not to be up to their expectations. There was nothing left; the planet was in ruin. Something had happened many years before their arrival. How could this desolate place be home of the Thirteenth Tribe? How could it be home to anyone? The group looked over the land, unable to comprehend what could possibly have done this to a planet. There was silence; everyone was too surprised to speak, and too downtrodden to suggest that it was only part of the planet.
Before anyone had a chance to return to the Raptor, Dr. Gaius Balter stumbled across a piece of technology that was foreign to him. He stood in front of the DHD and peered over it, recognizing the shapes as constellations. In fact, he recognized quite a few of them, from this galaxy and their home galaxy. As he examined the device, Six appeared next to it, whispering in his ear and telling him to punch in a certain code. He listened to her, and did as he was told. Within moments, the watery-vortex that was the wormhole burst forth through the ring-like portal and the group was taken aback.
The group cautiously approached the Stargate, curious as to what type of technological capabilities the 'Thirteenth Tribe' possessed. It was Kara Thrace, triggered by something in her memories, that passed through the Event Horizon first, followed shortly after by Lee and Sam. It wasn't long until the rest of the group made their way through. What awaited them on the other side was something that would surprise them even more: the past.
A glitch in the system allowed the group to bypass Atlantis' precautionary measures, and they all arrived on the other side, guns pointed at them and Dr. Elizabeth Weir gazing down at them. And that is where the battle for humanity continued, for the groups all worked together to keep the Wraith and Ori from teaming up and destroying Earth together...
The Event Horizon is a Battlestar Galactica/Stargate RP that allows for most characters from the series (New BSG, SG-1 & Atlantis) to be incorporated, as well as original characters! It takes place during the last season of SG-1/season 3 of Atlantis and the last season of BSG. We've only just started and we're looking for a majority of the canon cast still. There is a whole range of characters available, and OCs are welcomed. If you think you are ready to cross the Event Horizon, then we're here to meet you on the other side.
We're Currently Looking for: ALMOST EVERYONE!
WILL OPEN WHEN THERE ARE 5 MEMBERS
