[premise] oodles of fancy
When Cronus was freed from his prison in Tartarus, it is said that he accepted his position as the king of the Elysian Islands, home of the blessed dead with humble dignity. But secretly he plotted.
Plotting and scheming, he got close to Ares, who had always eyed the throne of his father with cautious ambition, and stood behind as the God of War raised his forces. They, together with the ruling Titan brothers of old, toppled the rule of almighty Zeus and imprisoned those who had stood in their way down in Tartarus. Those who helped them fight, however, were rewarded. There was nothing to stop the titans' rule. No one could stand in their way now.
But fate would turn against those who had supported the cause of the Titans, as well. Gentle Rhea had acted before, and she would act again to protect her progeny and those who had come from them. Secretly, with help of the Fates, she freed the gods, placing them in mortal bodies, having them born into mortal families with mortal parents. And when word spread to those gods who had fought with the titans, she sent them all to the mortal plane as well.
Where are they now? They are living among us. Average citizens, average mortals. Each has no recollection of their epic past, except in dreams or "feelings." But what are they? What do they mean? ( read more )

SEVEN PERCENT
INFO | FAQS | RULES | ABILITIES | PLAYED-BYS | APPLICATION
"On December 3rd, 2007 everything changed.
For decades, a virus has been rumored to exist and little was known about it's origins, what it was capable of, or if there was a cure. Dubbed the "Shanti virus", it attacks the nervous system of it's host and, in most cases, it is fatal. In late December, 2007, a vial containing the virus was shattered, destroying any hope of ever coming up with a cure. After that, things began to happen rapidly. People all over the world were becoming infected and people were dying by the millions. By June 2008, it was obvious that the impact of the virus would surpass that of the Bubonic Plague and even AIDS. Hundreds of millions of people were dropping like flies and there was nothing anyone could do to stop it. There were treatments that could combat it for a few days, sometimes weeks, but never anything more.
By September 2008, the world was devastated. In what felt like the blink of an eye, humanity had practically been eradicated. Ninety-three percent of the world's population fell victim to the Shanti virus; leaving a mere seven percent to pick up the pieces."

Game Info
The space race began in late 1957 when the Russians set things into motion. Ever since, Earth and it's inhabitants have been constantly inventing and attempting new ways into the great unknown, into outer space. The International Space Station (ISS) set things into motion in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when they began research on how to solve problems and enable space travel and, ultimately, space colonization in the future. NASA has been working tirelessly in an effort to make space colonization not just a story in science fiction, but an actuality.
In 2030, Hyperion was launched and established in orbit around the Earth. It was the largest task ever taken on by the human race and it took twenty years to complete all the in-orbit assembly. Test runs were made and in 2054, Hyperion's first residents, three chimps named Larry, Curly, and Mo, were placed in the space station where they lived for a month before NASA was content with the work done. Hyperion was deemed a success and then the real work began. Scientists and military personnel from all over were drafted and brought in. The space shuttles Ingenuity and Discovery made trips once a week, delivering crew to the station. In 2060, Hyperion was finally fully-functioning and completely independent of Earth.
But now, in 2128, we're not alone -- and we're about to find out just how insignificant we really are.

Aeronautics is a plot-driven sci-fi RPG. This game is a detailed, plot-centric one, with an emphasis on character development and involvement. Everyone will be expected to contribute to an overall plot that has a definitive beginning, middle, and end. We're reverting back to the way RP used to be: when it was about writing and interaction and plot. |

Getting Hitched is a game for those who are looking for a change of pace where games are concerned. Sure, the concept has likely been done before, but with the choices out there (Rebuilding the wizarding world vs. Rewriting the final chapters), it's definitely time for a bit of lighthearted fun.
In the Spring of 2002, after years of finally rebuilding the wizarding world to its former glory, Minister of Magic Kingsley Shacklebolt enacted a piece of legislation that took the wizarding world by storm. Citing Albus Dumbledore, Minister Shacklebolt expressed his concern over the lines that were still drawn between those who were pureblood and those who didn't have tapestries filled with magical family members for generations and generations. Shacklebolt wanted a "state where everyone was equal," where no one was "judged or made to feel inferior as a result of their birth." The message was embraced by a large percentage of wizarding Britain, though many were curious about how such a utopia could be reached.
After his inspiring speech, nothing happened. Many started to question Shacklebolt and began to wonder if he was going to be just like the previous Ministers of Magic: men who promised the world on a silver platter, but never came through with their promised. Unfortunately, this was far from the case. Inside his office, Kingsley Shacklebolt was busy pushing legislation and finalizing his plans, and on 01 September 2002, they were announced publicly and printed in the Daily Prophet.
It was called The Marriage Decree - a plan to unite all those with magical abilities together regardless of their blood status. All unmarried citizens of legal age are now required to register their marital status with the Ministry of Magic the day they turn seventeen. Those who do fail to apply by the new laws are considered social terrorists. Those who do register in accordance with the decree can expect an official letter naming the match the Ministry approved and a date for when the marriage must be carried out by. All marriages, arranged or otherwise, must also be approved by the Ministry.
Who will you be getting hitched to?

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.
