ar·chon [ahr-kon] --noun 1. a high magistrate in ancient Athens. 2. any ruler. 3. in Gnosticism, servants of the Demiurge, the creator god, that serve as the gateway between humanity and a transcendent god. At Archon's Rest, we know that behind every character there is a writer.♦ Do you think you would enjoy a world wholly based upon chance where no one knows what's going to happen until it does? ♦ Can you imagine writing reaction instead of action? ♦ Are you in need of a game where character development and plot growth are central themes? ♦ Could you fathom giving up just a little bit of control for the sake of a ride envisioned to challenge and entertain? ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) archon_rpg: where writers come to be challenged, not coddled.

The Rules || Joining Guidelines || Application
Taken Characters & PBs || Wanted List || About DDC
The gods have not faded away, or been reborn. They are not in high school. They have not forgotten who they were. They remember, because they still exist.
Though their followers are fewer and less vocal, once a god, always a god. The important things have not changed with the passage of time, though with the advance of the mortal world, gods have discovered the joys of modernization. Because even a Muse can appreciate an iPod.
Of course the Sumerians are still insular (and a tad stuck up), the Greeks still squabble amongst themselves more than they do with the other pantheons, and the Norse… well, with Loki on the loose and Ragnarok threatened, they do have their hands full.
In every pantheon, just as in any group of individuals, you have those that are warm, friendly and open. And those that never learned to work and play well with others. How will they manage to coexist? How have they done so thus far? What happens when Anubis meets Hades? Or Thor challenges Nergal?
Come help us answer those questions and tell those stories.

| PROLOGUE |
There's an elite boarding school an hour away from San Francisco that's dedicated to the education of children with superpowers: Veritas Academy. Veritas takes these children in and helps them control their gifts - trying to turn them into productive members of society. The lucky few become heroes and villains that are respected and feared the world over, but the rest also have real stories to tell. They are known as businesspeople, lawyers, doctors, academics, nurses, and teachers. They are the people you know, but never stop to truly wonder about.
There are success stories and failures that are known everywhere, but not everyone can be Superman. The majority of the students remain virtually unknown to the majority of the public as they go about their everyday jobs and lead their everyday lives.
The Veritas Alumni Association decided to follow the trend that had been set by Livejournal, Facebook and MySpace, and set up their own social networking site. It became known as something that old students use to keep in touch with friends, watch their enemies and complain about their everyday lives. Yet in between the complaints, arguments and laughs that the students are having, something is beginning to interrupt their lives:
Someone is killing alumni, and no one knows who's going to be next.

| PREMISE |
You wake up to the smell of smoke.
In the year 2008, a virus swept North America. Ever vigilant for a pandemic, citizens boarded up their windows, stockpiled their canned goods, and turned their neighbors in to the CDC. Short wave radios fell off the shelves, evacuation routes were prepared. Gas masks and specialty filtration systems were distributed. Pills were available for those showing early symptoms. Pills that did not work. That were later replaced with cyanide as their active ingredient. For those who were brave enough to put their fingers near a loved one's mouth. The United States, Canada, Mexico, the virus swept down into South America and festered in the heat of the jungle. In some places it burned out. Superstition ruled and saved lives. But nothing stopped the virus.
You wake up to the crackle of dead airwaves.
Three months after the first diagnosed case of Currere Excessum was recorded, NATO approved Great Britain's use of nuclear force against the United States. It was assumed that all organic material would be reduced to ash under the impact. It was assumed that the Quarantine of the Americas would be temporary, at best. Any who survived the blast would be given the highest in humanitarian attention and medical care. The only American emissaries who knew of the plan lay incinerated in Washington. The Quarantine continued. The Americas lay abandoned. Empty.

THE BUREAU NEEDS YOUAnother monster dusted, waiting for the clean up crew. Crisis averted, Earth saved, all was right with the world again. But when the agents go back to the office, there's a more daunting task they have to face: paperwork. Assembled are the usual band of freaks and geeks. The aliens the critters the mutants or just the fanboys who have knowledge of the paranormal - and more. They make up the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, they protect a world that generally have little idea they exist. As Professor Trevor Bruttenholm once said, when things go bump in the night, the BPRD bumps back.
The Bureau is a multifandom agency RPG. Any characters from sci-fi/fantasy fandoms can be played, and you do not need to have a knowledge of the Hellboy universe. Rules || FAQ || Taken || Held || Wanted || Application
