[06 Apr 2009|01:20am] Premise ♦ Rules Current Characters ♦ Application ♦ Wanted Characters 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. archon_rpg is an original mystery / horror rpg with sci-fi elements set in the present day and time open to all original characters. Characters are invited, via a method dependent on their social class, to stay at Archon's Rest, a luxury resort and spa. Upon arrival, they find it to be everything that they could ever want, but is it really the paradise it claims to be? Where has the front door gone, and why can't anyone find a way out to explore the grounds? What's with the sudden spike in residents' nightmares? Did this scar exist yesterday? Why is the staff so eager to please, and when, exactly, do they expect you to check out? Will you have a restful vacation or the adventure of your life? We are a small, intimate game that opened Friday, March 13. All original characters are welcome. If you are searching for an active, engaging game with major character development possibilities run by RP veterans, this is the game for you. Wanted Characters: We are currently in need of men, persons from upper class / wealthy backgrounds, and working class people looking for a break in order to increase diversity. Also, we currently have roles that need to be filled and more on the way. All characters, however, are always welcome. post comment

[06 Apr 2009|12:45pm] WTF?! RP - Not your typical Harry Potter Roleplay Setting. Rules. Holds. Application. Game Opened: April 1, 2009! Applications for female characters will be given priority. WTF?! is a 'Harry Potter' afterlife-based roleplaying game set on its own island, called Sointula. It takes some of the clichés found so often in the fandom and in 'Potter' RPs and revels in them. Four gods have set this island up so that they can observe peoples' daily lives. Think of it like a game of 'Sims' for the dead. The gods pick and choose who they want on their island for their own reasons and may or may not help people. They do whatever they want, because they can. Note, though, that there's a lot of weirdness in this game. It's not your typical 'put everybody from the canon together in one place' type of setting. Modern Muggle technology is everywhere, and everyone who shows up on the island will know how to use that modern tech. The game is quirky but not silly. There will be comedic storylines, and there will be dramatic storylines. It's all up to the players. This game is looking for creative people who are willing to work within some set parameters and explore the possibilities of the fandom's clichés. Some aspects of your character's life on the island will be set by the gods when that character is accepted. If you're not comfortable with playing things that aren't determined by you, don't bother applying. It's not a crack game, despite it's name and setting, but it's also not 'high drama, all the time.' It needs players who have enough time to give to the game to develop their characters and storylines, not those who apply to every new game that starts up and never put in any quality time on any game because their creativity is spread too thin. Characters that aren't active, or who only interact with one or two other characters, will be removed. That doesn't mean your character has to thread with every single person in the game, but you have to at least make an effort to have them talk to and interact with characters outside of those they were involved with in the novels. If you enjoy taking the canon characters outside of their comfort zones, exploring new possibilities, and you enjoy quality RP in an unusual setting, this game could be for you. If you're looking for the same old tired stuff, go elsewhere. Every character from the 'HP' canon is open for play, wizard, Muggle, or whatever, but be sure to read the Rules, Setting, Posting Guidelines, and Taken Characters & PB Lists, before applying. I'm a harsh guy when it comes to my rules. If you give me crap, I'll give it back to you. I don't care who you are, or how your popular you are in the fandom, or how many games you're in, or how many times you've played 'X' character in games, or how long you've been RPing, or if you write fanfic that makes people squeal. I don't care. Once you've read the threads, and you're still interested in applying, here's the Application. End post comment

[06 Apr 2009|03:27pm] Rules | FAQ | Application | Taken | Contact List | Holds | Drop | Insta-Friends | IC Contact | Wanted Characters 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.

[quarantine_ops] [06 Apr 2009|05:33pm] THE QUARANTINED: A SURVIVAL GAME NAVIGATION rules | application | the mods characters | wanted characters | hold a character frequently asked questions for the concerned american citizen 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. (read more....) FEATURES - Brand-new game! - Supportive of both personal and game-wide plots. - We have a list of wanted characters made for your convenience. - There are plenty of in-game activities to provide opportunities for personal character development. - NC-17 friendly, which also means the game is for players eighteen years of age or over. No exceptions. - Slash, femme-slash and het friendly. WANTED - Come one, come all! post comment

Recuperatio [06 Apr 2009|08:29pm] Currently Casting | Casting Studio | Application | Rules | Recuperatio RPG “Tragedy blows through your life like a tornado, uprooting everything, creating chaos. You wait for the dust to settle, and then you choose. You can live in the wreckage and pretend it's still the mansion you remember. Or you can crawl from the rubble and slowly rebuild. Because after disaster strikes, the important thing is that you move on. But if you're like me, you just keep chasing the storm. The problem with chasing the storm is that it wears you down, breaks your spirit. Even the experts agree. A girl needs closure.”-Veronica Mars Seven years ago, the Dark Lord Voldemort fell, finally bringing an end to his vicious reign of power and terror. Yet, the war did not end with his death. For years, the Wizarding World has worked to repair the damages left during the aftermath of war. Emotional burdens have yet to fully heal, too many lives destroyed, families torn apart, and friends lost. Hogwarts was left in rubble, unable to reopen for years, the damage too great, endless sweat and tears shed as people worked to rebuild the foundations to give their children a future. Death Eaters still roam free, cunningly avoiding even the best Aurors, leaving many in fear that another war will be on the horizon. As things begin to resemble some semblance of normalcy, an old follower of Voldemort is in the wings, plotting his revenge, gathering the remaining Death Eaters and new followers, planning to unleash a new war, wanting to finish his master’s vision. In the Ministry, a serial killer is murdering powerful political figures, leaving everyone pointing fingers and letting things slip through the cracks. Fenrir Greyback has escaped from Azkaban, butchering countless individuals as he runs from Aurors, gathering and making new werewolves in his travels, gathering an army to strike against the Ministry. All the while, the Muggle World is at war, affecting the Wizarding World as it heightens. The world is in complete chaos. Minister of Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt is determined to rebuild the Wizarding Community into a vision of peace and has called forth some of the best Aurors from around the world in an effort to clean up the United Kingdom, determined to capture and imprison the remaining Death Eaters and send a clear message of constant vigilance to those seeking to do more harm. Many are unhappy with the Minister’s plans, many seeking to replace him and other important individuals, some willing to go to great lengths to achieve their goals. The Wizarding World is torn between fully recovering and moving forward and taking two steps back, arriving right back where they left off seven years ago. A new war is on the brink, which side will you choose? Recuperatio is a canon, non-epilogue compliant game taking place in 2005. Game opens May 15, 2009.

Technology may have once hindered man’s progression toward further evolution, but advances in biological science could now change everything. Daniel Linderman, a man with influence, power, and money, seeks to usher in a new age of man. Some would say that his goal is for the betterment of tomorrow— if only they knew what he was doing in the first place. For forty years, Linderman has been involved with conducting experiments amongst the general population under the guise of what he liked to call “Pharmaceutical Testing.” Hundreds of people have volunteered for these tests, never knowing that they were now guinea pigs for something that could change the world. What will the next step in evolution be? Some might say superpowers, while Linderman whispers: “You’re right.” Exogenesis is an alternate universe Heroes RPG that takes a look at the characters we all love without following any of the arcs introduced in the show. We have taken characters from canon, along with original characters, and put them in an entirely new situation and world. Discover what heroes are when they aren’t born with their powers, but are given them—and what new paths it’s possible to take along the way.

Quadrivium [06 Apr 2009|09:22pm] Currently Casting | Casting Studio | Application | Rules | Quadrivium RPG “The Road goes ever on and on down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, and I must follow, if I can, pursuing it with eager feet, until it joins some larger way where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.” –J.R.R. Tolkien Halloween, 1981, the Dark Lord Voldemort fell at the hands of one-year old Harry Potter, bringing an end to a decade long reign of terror, to the relief of the entire Wizarding World.

Welcome to the City of Sin ( original supernatural game ) [06 Apr 2009|10:49pm] The City of Sin is a plot driven supernatural game which will give every player the chance to have a say in the overarching plot of the game. It is a dark and gritty game which centers around a war between three large groups and takes place in a futuristic world where demons, vampires and werewolves rule like royalty. There are many, many plot centric characters desperately wanted. For instance Aislyn and Nicoli of the Elari. A couple who have recently married despite their romantic entanglements to their third partner - Lilith. Currently it is unsure whether the marriage is due to love or a play for more power. Then of course there is the Watch. A group who is intent on saving the remaining humans. Pitched against the scarily powerful Elari and Raidan to most it looks like the Watch are way out of their league, though that doesn't stop them trying. Finally there is the Raidan, newly arrived in Las Vegas they've got death and destruction on their agenda - but is that all? All in all CoS needs you to make it something great. The war is just beginning and I can promise you that you will have a good, no great time here. There are some fantastic writers, some very creative minds and in all honesty? I haven't felt so inspired in a long time. If you're looking for a plot driven game, somewhere your characters can grow and explore facets of their personality and try new things then City of Sin is for you. If you like games which don't limit you, which allow all types of storylines then this the place for you.

Darkness Rising [06 Apr 2009|10:59pm] Currently Casting | Casting Studio | Application | Rules | Darkness Rising RPG Community "….Voldemort's powerful now.

You're scared for yourself, and your family, and your friends. Every week, news comes of more deaths, more disappearances, more torturing … The Ministry of Magic's in disarray, they don't know what to do, they're trying to keep everything hidden from the Muggles, but meanwhile, Muggles are dying too. Terror everywhere … panic … confusion …" Across Europe the Wizarding Community lies in fear. Voldemort and his followers are on the rise, leaving behind a reign of terror in their wake. As his numbers increase, Wizards begins to grow more uneasy, increasingly choosing to fall prey to his Empire, out of fear, unwilling to stand up and fight. In spite of the increasing danger, a small group of vigilante Wizards has begun to pull ranks, daring to do what the Ministry fears to do; fight. The Order of the Phoenix is slowly growing into a force to be reckoned with, threatening not only Voldemort, but the Ministry itself. Change is on the brink and the students of Hogwarts. No longer will they be safe behind the confines of the castle, unaware to the real dangers of the world. They will soon be forced to make their own loyalties known; a decision that will affect not only the rest of their lives, but the entire Wizarding World. Amongst the darkness, these students are potentially the light needed to give the Order the man power to take on Voldemort’s forces.
