Connotation: An AU Marauders' Era RPG [03 Apr 2009|12:40am] CONNOTATION MORE THAN JUST A WAR GAME Premise | Available Characters | Who We'd Like To See The problem with most post-Hogwarts marauders' era games is that there's such a large focus on the war and how events affect the war. It's all dark, admittedly a little plotless the majority of the time, and can be a bit of drag. "Oh. More mass murders. I guess that'll be... interesting." At Connotation, we're going to change that. The war is going on, but it isn't the main focus, giving room for more potential plot-wise. And not just the mod's plot - yours. That's right. Here's your chance to get involved with shaping the plot. Muggles bumbling into the wizarding world, secret underground movements, kidnapping, and the search for the hallows - they're all being thrown around as potential pieces of the plot and you can be part of the discussion. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS JOIN. Wanted: Do you want us to have a Peter before a James and Lily? I didn't think so. Get on applying. Sirius needs his IDKBFF James. We could also use Death Eaters, who will actually have things to in this game! Carrows, Lestranges, and Malfoys - oh my! I suppose a Severus Snape might be nice, too. Or even Travers, Avery, and Yaxley. Molly and Andromeda could also desperately use their husbands and Fabian and Gideon would no doubt love to have their step-brother around. And Amelia... well, she's not quite the same without Edgar. Oh, and who doesn't love a good Ministry official like the Longbottoms and Amos Diggory? post comment

[03 Apr 2009|12:42am] | MAIN COMM | MOD JOURNAL | OOC COMM | APPLICATION | CHARACTER LIST | FAQ | FANDOM LIST | PB LIST Five years after Sunnydale was swallowed by the earth, it's back. Or a reasonable facsimile at least. Built over the ruins of the old town, the newly named Prescott Valley has been billed as a shining oasis full of new houses and families. A mere two hour drive from LA, Prescott Valley has cinemas, schools, a mall, several Starbucks... in short, all the amenities you would expect to find in a freshly built town. And one that you wouldn't. Deep below the town, something else has been rebuilt: the Hellmouth. Called to this portal between Earth and the Underworld is the Source, in the body of Cole Turner. In a last ditch effort to win his love back, Cole made a deal to take the Source into his body in exchange for actually getting a body. However, Cole was not as powerful as he thought and his plan to double cross the Source failed. Working with the First, the two Biggest Bads of all time are slowly but surely taking over the town of Prescott Valley, on their way to dominating the world. Tentative news of increased supernatural activity has reached the ears of the Good, however and protectors the likes of the Slayers, the Charmed Ones and others have begun trickling back into the area to investigate. Unbeknownst to most of the Prescott Valleyians, humans have been recruited, lured with promises of power and riches, and slowly the town is decaying again. In this epic battle of Good versus Evil, who's side will you be on? Buffy, Charmed, Supernatural and other fandoms welcome!! post comment

[03 Apr 2009|01:57am] The Next Step The RPG MODS RPG OOC E-MAIL Directory Rules Apply Character Directory Most Needed Characters Cyclops Quicksilver Brotherhood members students Mutation is the next step in human evolution. There is no known, definitive number of mutants living in the world today, and not all of them are obvious; many of them walk among the "baseline" humans completely undetected. They would prefer to remain anonymous due to hostility and fear, as many mutants have been the victims of hate crimes. There are few places mutants can congregate and live among their kind. Charles Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters was one such place, as was its sister school, the Massachusetts Academy. Neither were publically billed as mutant havens yet many mutants found their way to these sanctuaries and were taken care of, taught to harness their abilities and flourish. They were taught that mutant/human relations were important if both groups were to ever co-exist. But even as these mutants were taught the peaceful way, there were humans who felt the need for strength in numbers, banding together in groups such as the Friends of Humanity. Human on mutant crime was rarely prosecuted and, for the most part, silently condoned, as the human authorities felt somewhat powerless to stop super-humans. Rumors are circulating that mutants are being abducted by an unknown organization, which is said to run experiments on these unlucky individuals. In the wake of anti-mutant legislation introduced in the US Senate, the mutant known as Magneto took over the island nation of Genosha and, after overturning the government there, turns Genosha into a haven for mutantkind. Thousands flock to this paradise, where Magneto is the ultimate authority. And then, in January 2008, a mysterious explosion destroyed Xavier's Institute. The headmaster and several residents were declared dead, and the rest scattered, most of the students there being transferred to the sister school in Boston run by Emma Frost. Recently, after extensive reconstruction aided by Warren Worthington III, Xavier's Institute has been rebuilt and reopened. For unknown reasons, it is Logan who is now the headmaster and the leader of the X-Men, with the aid of Ororo Munroe. Game has been open for a little more than a week!. Join today>>>>> post comment

Vale of the Enclave [03 Apr 2009|08:44am] From an era predating time and recorded history comes the tale of the Enclave -- a distinct phratry among the ordinary folk whose settlements stretched from sea to sea along the continental landmass known as The Vale. Typically those numbered among the Enclave society received their inherent membership by blood, passage rites from parent to child among the tribe's elders -- although it was not unknown for one born completely outside the congregation to find his or herself duly sworn into their ranks. Consisting of powerful sorcerers, apothecaries, mages, fortune tellers & seers, alchemists, and necromancers, this once powerful council eventually broke apart into two distinct factions after centuries of bitter feuding and disagreements -- those of Warlocks, and those the Druids. They remain to this day inextricably woven together at the core, yet the bitterest of enemies over fundamental precepts regarding the distinction of sexes and the worship of deities. Neither side will give an inch toward truce. Neither will admit to any wrong-doing or treachery. And neither will accept the other as any part of the true Enclave. Over the centuries, each group has both risen to power and been defeated time and again. The last war saw the entire city of Faltha obliterated under the curse of the Black Plague, and all the remained had been burnt to the ground in offering to the Druid goddess Shalindr'a. More than a thousand souls in this Warlock stronghold perished in less than a week. The result of which shifted the tide of rulership into the hands of Druids. For more than half a century now, the ordinary citizens of the Vale must comply with Druid precepts and law. They must participate in the bi-annual lottery at each equinox wherein a pilgrimage must be made to the southern regions of the Vale below the barren summits of Wyvern's Spine -- the legendary lair of dragons. It is there, under Druid law, that they must sacrifice a virgin girl from among them, to appease the dragons until the next equinox. Failure to comply results in swift and terrifying punishment. Prophecy declared that a Warlock would rise, like the mythical pheonix from the burning ashes, bringing with him the defeat of Druid tyranny. In their desire to squash what may well be true, the Druids unleashed a horrifying disease upon the Warlock stronghold, in hope of solidifying their own strength and supremacy throughout the Vale. For decades they have awaited, both Druid and ordinary Citizen alike -- to see whether the prophecy had been true. The Vale of the Enclave is accepting fantasy writers! Interested?

Forgotten Gods [03 Apr 2009|03:04pm] 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. Wanted: Greek: Demeter, Dionysus, Cocytus, Phlegethon, muses New Gods: Capitalism, Rock Christian/Hebrew: Sloth, Beelzebub Celtic/Arthurian: Guinevere, Merlin, the Morrigan Norse: Frigg, Loki, Hermod, Tyr, the Norns Native American: Raven, Coyote Egyptian: Anubis, Osiris, Hathor Slavic: Chernobog, Polunocnica (Lady Midnight), Morana Japanese: Raijin, Susano'o, Izanami, Izanagi Aztec: Xochipilli, Tlaloc, Quetzalcoatl, Coatlicue, Mixcoatl US Folklore: Johnny Appleseed, Pocahontas, Paul Revere, the Jersey Devil, Rosie the Riveter - more! post comment

[03 Apr 2009|03:12pm] It all began with a strange sentient planet that had gotten lonely, and had begun to kidnap people from all times and places to keep itself company. To entertain it's 'guests', it created a world that, every so often, shifted, but always looked like some sort of resort on earth. In a rare moment of weakness, the King of the Goblins and Ruler of the Underground, Jareth, was taken unawares and brought to the Planet. What followed was an inevitable clash of egos as the powerful fae creature fought with the strange sentient planet. The battle was fierce, and the fallout completely unpredictable. In the end, a new dimension was created, somewhere between Jareth's old home and the dimension occupied by the sentient planet. In this new land, Jareth appears to reign surpreme. But can anyone truly rule in a world that was created in such a bizarre and tumultuous way? A few people had been brought along with him in the creation of the new realm, but Jareth decided that anything the Planet could do, he could do better. With that in mind, he began to bring in people from all places and times. Very soon, those who had been brought with him would have company...

[03 Apr 2009|05:30pm] Time Between: A Twilight RPG time_between time_ooc "The Time has come for the great ones, the ones who have long since hindered our lives, keeping our identity secret, to fall. They do not believe in our race, in our freedom. Our kind has been turned in to the monsters that hide away until night. It's time to let us become the superior race we were created to be and let the humans know it is not God they should fear, but it us." - Maria "When I lived with the Volturi, I met two immortal children, so I know firsthand the appeal they had. Aro studied the little ones for many years after the catastrophe they'd caused was over. You know his inquisitive disposition; he was hopeful that they could be tamed. But in the end, the decision was unanimous: the immortal children could not be allowed to exist." - Carlisle There are whispers through the south that something epochal is going on. The newborns of Seattle were nothing compared to what's been rumored to be happening this time. Talk of a group of immortal children being created and of Maria, the woman who managed to escape the Volturi's punishment for her participation in the Vampire Wars of the South.

She's found herself at the head of a cult like following of Vampires that have each been scorned by the Volturi Royalty themselves.
