[04 Aug 2009|01:42am] Premise//Rules//Characters// FAQ //Reserved//Application//Friend All//Contacts//Comments Xavier Memorial Institute the pacific coast is calling An AU X-Men RPG The nation was stunned when it was revealed that Graydon Creed killed Professor Charles Xavier on live television to prove he was a mutant. Public outcry against the acts perpetrated by the organization known as the 'Friends of Humanity' allowed several laws to be passed in favor of mutant rights. That was more than a decade ago, in that time the realm of politics has come to an impasse. Amidst the political stalemate there was a heavy push by many parents to have mutant children removed from the school systems. The Xavier Institute could no longer provide the necessary facilities for so many mutants, adult and child alike. Ororo Munroe, the new head of the Institute, and Hank McCoy went before the Senate and House and asked that a second school be funded on the West Coast. Senator Raymond F. Donaldson, a democrat from California and the first mutant on the senate, helped to push the funding through. Thus the Xavier Memorial Institute was born. X-Memorial is an AU X-men game set in modern day California. It is meant to be a place where OCs may flourish, new stories can be written and those who have moved to the west coast may begin again. The school grounds, commonly referred to as Mutant Island, house both a high school and a university as well as a training facility. It is also the facility which houses the mutant team Legacy. The game is open to mutants age 16+, canon and original characters are both welcome. The game hopes to combine the social and political aspects of life as a mutant with the dangers that come from living in a world where humans, mutants, and things only classified as 'other' coexist.

Causa Mortis [04 Aug 2009|11:03am] § Game Plot § Timeline § FAQ § Rules § Characters § § Played-Bys § Wanted § Application § In May 1945, Albus Dumbledore defeated Grindewald, the evilest and darkest wizard to date. One month later, Tom Riddle, the charismatic Head Boy of Hogwarts, left the castle for the last time. Years later, the unthinkable happened. Tom Riddle, at the age of 40, became the youngest Minister for Magic ever. This young, attractive man with such an urbane nature invigorated the masses, and his induction into office brought upon the "Golden Age" of wizarding Britain. Or so the public thought. Over the years, while Tom Riddle was ascending the ranks of the Ministry, he was also gathering his followers, followers who referred to him as Lord Voldemort and themselves Death Eaters, who were in awe of his patience and fortitude, and his plans for Britain. He would rule the wizarding world with an iron fist, purifying the race of wizards and expelling those who did not belong among the elite. But he knew in order to do so without attracting the attention of his critics, he would have to do it slyly. Slowly. And so he waited. Worked. Death Eaters and Death Eater Supporters were slowly integrated into the Ministry. Lord Voldemort's closest followers were appointed to important positions throughout the Ministry. Supporters began to take spots that opened up in the Wizengamot. The public remained unaware, unskeptical of the people Tom Riddle appointed; to them, he could do no wrong. Things had been great for the wizarding world, and everyone attributed this fact to Minister Riddle. In secret, Lord Voldemort and his Inner Circle were working on a secret project to rid the world of muggleborns. Not even his Outer Circle of Death Eaters knew about this secret project, and in 1980, when Tom Riddle followers took over 50% of the Wizengamot and therefore had the legal power to protect the Minister and his followers, he decided it was time to put his plans into action. In August 1980, muggleborns began disappearing. Muggleborns that had done extremely well in school, or were highly respected, or held important places within the Ministry. However, it wasn't until the 31st of August when the Media and the people of Britain took notice - when four people went missing from their homes in a very unique way. Wizards in dark robes and masks broke into their homes and catching the occupants of each home unawares, kidnapped the muggleborns and disappeared into the night. Causa Mortis is an AU MWPP game based in 1980. The question is how different would the world be if Tom Riddle took the political reins before he ever began his reign of terror on the wizarding world. There's no prophecy, no Order (yet!), and no way to tell what's going to happen. Game opens September 1 - so get your applications in early! Wanted!! Rodolphus & Rabastan Lestrange, Inner Circle Death Eaters, DMLE, Media, & St. Mungo's! Many Main Characters Available!! post comment

[04 Aug 2009|03:58pm] Broken City premise | rules | wanted taken/held | cast list | application contact list | friend add | locations Mutants have been around for years, and for a while, they were accepted members of society. Simple products of evolution, certain people were born with gifts that normal humans couldn't begin to fathom being able to accomplish. Most joked about the idea of superheroes and described these abilities as "powers" on the streets. Some, of course, didn't trust this advantage. Regardless, it wasn't abnormal to see somebody on the street corner cooling their glass of lemonade with their hands, or a shop owner doing the work of three men all with his mind. They were your brothers, your sisters, your neighbors, your teachers... They existed, and everyone knew it. America was prospering, life was content for most, and the economy continued to grow. Then disaster struck. America became too comfortable with their place as top dog. They became a bullying country, certain that nothing bad would befall them. On the evening of April 05, 2009, a cybernetic attack on the United States took place, wiping out every computer system in the country, and taking over those belonging to the military. Our own bombs attacked us, the economy crashed overnight, and within days America went from super power to third world country. The rich suddenly found themselves dirt poor when the computers recording their monetary earnings erased every cent; business after business went bankrupt. Soon crime was on the rise, and people had to jump through hoops to survive. In the wake of the destruction, a scape goat was needed. They blamed mutants. People that used to dine with their mutant neighbor soon started to attack them. Murders became the norm, and with as much chaos as there was, most went ignored. The bad economy made way for crooked cops, the rise of gangs and mafias, and, of course, every scumbag looking for a pay day to run rampant. The U.S. government, determined to build an army and get revenge, and the resources for the most powerful army was just staring them in the face. They began abducting mutants off of the streets to bring them back to a secret division known as Operation X to perform experiments on them. They were looking for ways to boost powers, but more importantly, they needed a way to control the mutants they captured. The danger was fierce, so those with powers took a variety of measures to escape persecution. Some denied what they truly were and attempted to live their lives in the new world as normal humans, hoping to never slip up in front of the wrong person. Others banded together and hid in a mostly ruined part of the country that used to be Manhattan that is rumored to be haunted, radioactive, and all other sorts of crazy superstitions (most created by the mutants living there to keep normal humans away). Still others thrived in the new dog-eat-dog world, using their powers to swindle people out of their money. In 2020, it gets worse. All things prior to 2009 have been eradicated from the computers, but the country slowly starts to rebuild. Eventually, people start to figure out how to survive almost normally. Computers are relied upon less, new jobs are created to take the place of robotics, and people have figured out ways to cut corners due to the shortages of items at different times--and gas at all times. Used to this way of life, people become ignorant to the allocation of funds to Operation X, which has used ten years to develop a method of brainwash that has so far proven foolproof. Each expendable test subject brings them a step closer to creating the power boosters, and an even darker world lay on the horizon for the ostracized mutants as their friends disappear--and sometimes reappear as their enemies. It forces most to head for the Broken City, as dubbed by those who founded it, a mostly underground city that looks worse than the world surrounding it but works enough to keep them alive.

[04 Aug 2009|06:32pm] forgotten pages. (just opened!) 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?

[04 Aug 2009|11:09pm] astounding! The mutant gene popped up unexpectedly in 1999 though some would argue it began in 2000. For a while, maybe a year or so this had gone unnoticed but it was only for so long that something so spectacular could go unnoticed. It was in Wisconsin a boy by the name of Sammy Johnson had been spotted flying above his house by one of his neighbors. Immediately the neighbor had done the most logical thing she could do, inform the police. The police investigated, but the boy (and his parents) could not prove anything about this supposed ability of flight. Then, not even a week later a girl was caught turning invisible, another girl was creating acidic poisons with her hands and a newly wed couple was controlling and creating fire. Naturally, the Government had to get involved. They'd gone to these homes and these families to question them about their abilities, and after much deliberating and time the first mutant hospital was created in 2002. Immediately these people were shipped away to the hospital for testing. The term "mutant" had been coined and was quickly applied to anybody who possessed powers. With the knowledge of these mutants out, the human race was now growing to understand the real term of fear. What were these mutants capable of, what were they going to do to the regular humans that didn't possess these powers? continue MODS | POWERS | RULES | DIRECTORY | TAKEN SCREENED POST post comment
