The 1996-1997 school year ended with the death of Albus Dumbledore, but while he and Harry were uncovering the truth behind Lord Voldemort's immortality Lord Voldemort was himself in the final stages of a plan that would bring him that much closer to everlasting life.... To take over the Ministry of Magic. Break into the Department of Mysteries. And solve the mystery of the Veil -- the doorway between life and death. On 1 August 1997, a battle raged inside the Ministry as Death Eaters fought Aurors and Ministry officials for the control of the Ministry for Magic -- and the control of Wizarding England. The Order of the Phoenix found out hours too late, and by that time, Voldemort had won. The next day, the Daily Prophet announced that Lord Voldemort had declared himself Minister of Magic. The reaction was immediate, as countless witches and wizards fled the country. They, as the remaining magical population would soon discover, were the lucky ones. While St. Mungo's remains neutral and Gringotts Bank has taken a violently oppositional stance, the remaining wizarding institutions, including Hogwarts, have no choice but to go along with the Dark Lord's demands. While the Death Eaters have been running the country, slowly but surely destroying all that was good about wizarding society, Voldemort has been examining the veil. It didn't take long before he found a way out. Thus he entered through the veil to explore the realm of the dead. But what he didn't count on was that as he entered, someone was released. Looking exactly as they did the day they died, that soul, who was in stasis at the happiest time of their life, has no knowledge of current affairs or their life after that happiest moment. But they're back, and the only way out for them is to die again. But they don't remember death - they only remember life. Appearing in a discrete alleyway in the heart of Diagon Alley, they are lost, confused, and have no idea what to do. But soon after the first of the undead was discovered, those loyal to the Order have been carefully watching, making sure those who return are properly cared for and given the latest in wizarding communication: the journals. If they have family still alive, they are put in touch with them, and they do their best to readjust to life in 1997. But the question remains: what is Voldemort looking for beyond the veil? What is it that he thinks holds the key to immortality? Only time will tell, and if Voldemort discovers it before Harry Potter destroys the remaining Horcruxes, then the wizarding world will forever be subject to the Dark Lord's rule.

[30 Jul 2009|11:20am] DARK MARK RISING. ADULT MARAUDER'S ERA GAME. As the teachers drone on, there's something different in the air at Hogwarts. Danger is lurking in every corner, peeking in windows, and infiltrating the castle. Lord Voldemort graduated with a group of minions only a few years ago, but he is still their leader. His magic, followers, and power are growing stronger daily, but so is his nerve. Always weary of Dumbledore, Lord Voldemort would never risk entering Hogwarts and causing chaos himself. Instead, he will use his minions, now known as "Death Eaters". Secret monthly meetings with selected few will allow Lord Voldemort the cover he so desperately seeks. He is providing his subjects with a cursed item or potion, and a desired target. From there, Death Eaters must go to all lengths to prove him or herself to the Dark Lord, or punishment will ensue. But Dumbledore is fast catching on. As attacks slowly break out and accumulate, he will be forced into sealing Hogwarts. Students and teachers will be locked in, while the Ministry, parents, and visitors will be locked out. Mail will be thoroughly checked, rechecked, and checked again. Questionable students will be questioned harshly. All outdoor activities will be cancelled. Lord Voldemort will have to come up with clever plans to get his dangerous weapons into Hogwarts, but his followers are loyal as ever. WANTED. RAVENCLAWS, HUFFLEPUFFS, Arthur Weasley, Frank Longbottom, Alice _____, all Prewetts, Peter Pettigrew, Rita Skeeter, Emmaline Vance, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Hestia Jonas, Amycus Carrow, Rabastan Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy, SEVERUS SNAPE.

It was built by mischief makers that had attended the school after the War, put there for the sole purpose of being a secret meeting spot for friends, groups, or couples, for any use from parties to plotting to just enjoying the evening sky. It hasn't been discovered yet, but the students are still careful. The only way to get to it is Invisibility cloak--which is rare--or the hidden passageway on the fourth floor back corridor, behind the statue of a dancing House Elf. It is the year 2024. It has been 26 years since the fall of Voldemort on that fateful June night at Hogwarts, and although it took awhile to rebuild the Wizarding world to what it once was, the world has been stronger than ever. With the help of so many people that now were on the side of good, the Ministry was able to get up and working once again, under the watchful eye of their wonderful new Minister of Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt. And the little Wizarding school was able to go back to what it was put there for; teaching young Wizards and Witches how to be just that. They took in students from far and wide, different and alike, from Wizarding blood or Muggle blood. And the school grew and rebuilt itself to be the greatest school in History. But not all is well at the school. Over the summer something strange came out of hiding in the Forbidden Forrest, and it is waiting. Waiting for the students to come back. Waiting for the first strike. Halloween Night, the student Zara Flint was found mauled and traumatized with fear. But there was no full moon and no werewolf. Just a Dark Corridor of shadows. That was just beginning. In the Darkness lies your greatest fear and Evil feeds off it. There is nothing to fear… but fear itself.

INCANTO [30 Jul 2009|04:57pm] INCANTO a Marauder Era RPG It's 1977; school's out for Summer, but this Summer feels strange... dark, somehow. It won't be long before school will start again, and Owls from Hogwarts are winging their way across the country with the promise of another perfectly normal year at Hogwarts. Homework will be piled on, the threat of looming exams being beaten into ignorant minds, but for now, at least, it's Summer, yet... something doesn't feel right. It's so much darker this year than it was last year. The days seem to be shortening beyond comprehension. The fog is thick and cold and constant, not to mention the fact that everyone seems so glum. There are disappearances being noted in the newspaper, but everything seems vague, as though someone knows what is going on, but too afraid to voice it aloud. The adults seem a bit on edge, uncertain how to handle the evil that is lurking in the shadows. The students, for the most part, are completely unaware of what is going on, even those whose parents are deep in the throes of swearing their allegiance to one side or another. The students, it seems, live in a world of their own, one untouched by the misery and doom of the outside world. Still, there seems to be something very unpleasant lurking unsaid, something creeping and crawling into the very veins of those it infects. Though there are only whispers, and people are afraid to voice their fears out loud, there are some things that cannot be fought. After all, it's difficult to feel protected by magic when the other side can use it, too. plot ★ characters ★ most wanted characters ★ rules ★ application post comment

Darkness Rising [30 Jul 2009|09:27pm] Currently Casting | Casting Studio | Application | Rules | Member Testimonials | Darkness Rising RPG Community "Imagine that Voldemort’s powerful now. You don’t know who his supporters are, you don’t know who’s working for him and who isn’t; you know he can control people so that they do terrible things without being able stop themselves. 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 … that’s how it used to be."– Sirius Black The year is 1978. Across Europe the Wizarding Community lives in fear. Voldemort and his followers are on the rise, leaving behind a reign of terror in their wake. As Voldemort’s supporters increase and more Wizards are murdered or go missing, Wizards and Witches begin to grow even more uneasy and terrified, and an increasing number choose to fall prey to his Empire, out of fear for their lives, unwilling to stand up and fight. Despite the increasing danger to their loves, a small group of vigilante Wizards, led by Albus Dumbledore, has begun a rebellion, daring to do what the Ministry will not; fight. The Order of the Phoenix is slowly forming into a force to be reckoned with, a threat to not only Voldemort, but the Ministry itself. Change is on the brink for 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. Choices have already been made for those just out of Hogwarts. They have picked their sides and now they must live with the decisions they have made. Amongst all of this darkness, the Order is the light needed to give the Wizarding World the power to take on Voldemort’s forces. As both sides fight to gain support, one question still lies: which side will you choose? Since February 1, 2009, Darkness Rising has been an active, friendly, and canon compliant Marauders Era RPG taking place in 1978 featuring talented, amazing writers.

[30 Jul 2009|09:35pm] forgotten pages. (opens august 1st!) The summer of Albus Dumbledore's death greeted the wizarding world with great change. The Ministry of Magic was taken over by the Dark Lords followers. Purebloods that understood the cause were at his beck and call. Some half-bloods of social standing tried to change their bloodlines by smudging documents in hopes to keep themselves and their money safe. Muggleborns were treated like common criminals and hunted by an order called, Snatchers. And blood-traitors were victimized for their political views. change was on the horizon. The students of Hogwarts were thrown into that change without warning. As the new year began Headmaster Snape proved to be just as nasty as he had been as a teacher. The employment of the Carrows siblings brought on obvious alterations to the schools interests. With the implementation of a Dark Arts class, the rebirth of the Inquisitorial Squad, and the newfound form of physical punishment...students were asked to choose sides. For it was believed that cleansing the youth was necessary to preparing them for the Dark Lords new order. and what better place to start than hogwarts? forgottenpages is a DH-compliant, trio-era-seventh-year game. Here we look to explore Hogwarts and Hogwarts only. Though the castle walls are greatly influenced by the world beyond them students are rarely, if ever, let in on details. With no real contact with the outside world and such drastic measures being taken by the new administration students are forced to conform or in the rare case...rebel. Rebellion, of course, will not be tolerated by the current staff. Yet, there are a few who have chosen to fight. A few who look to right the wrongs of those who currently have the power. The question is, where will you stand come the final battle of Hogwarts?

CLUE: A Mystery RPG [30 Jul 2009|09:55pm] CLUE: The Game is an online RPG in the spirit of the boardgame, Clue, and who-dunnit style dinner parties. Every round is different, with a new murdered host in a new scenario. A college senior mysteriously dies during Spring Break in St. Bart's, a Nintendo CEO is killed hosting a weekend retreat at his Napa Valley home, residents of a colonial town in 1776 are made to stay within a mile of their homes after a British general has been murdered; the options are endless, the result is never the same. Players can choose their perspective: they may know only what their character knows and keep the suspense going, or may read along with the whole game to watch everything unfold. The mystery will remain a mystery exactly as long as you want it to, with clues, conversations, and confrontations building up until your Inspector has solved the crime. CLUE is a fast-paced game with lots of interaction, intrigue, and character development; thusly we do not recommend it for players who are looking for a beginner game. Round One applications will close SOON! Premise | Rules | Characters | Application | FAQ | The Estate post comment

[30 Jul 2009|11:24pm] spliffy: harry potter, next generation Under the warm sunshine, another summer is coming to a close and there are students eagerly (or not so eagerly) returning to Hogwarts; the girls are loitering, the boys are ogling, and the gossip is lingering, as is always the case in a group of teenagers. Love faces off with sex, grades face off with parties, and truth faces off with falsities in the everyday drama at Hogwarts. However, since the Battle of Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic has been slowly working on new protective measures to prevent such an event from ever threatening Great Britain's schools again. As years have passed, new restrictive spells have been cast on the grounds of Hogwarts. At the beginning of this school year, under the decree of Kingsley Shacklebolt, a radically developed charm will be cast over the entire grounds as a means to prevent the approach of evil spirits of any sort. Unbeknownst to the returning students and staff, however, this spell has a glaring flaw which has not yet been revealed; it cuts off all contact with the outside world. As students and teachers are separated from their parents, their families and the rest of Great Britain, what will they do to cope? Can they band together in support, or will they attack one another in bouts of cabin fever? Though all faculty members are hard at work to find a counter-spell, it may not come fast enough to save some friendships, relationships, or even lives. Oh, and there's spliff.
