“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. Death Eaters were imprisoned, wounds healed, and the Wizarding World spent the next decade healing from the pain of the first war. Yet, Voldemort was not truly defeated that night. He will rise once more, bringing upon another vicious war upon the Wizarding World.
Everyone knows the story of James and Lily Potter and the story of their son, Harry, but until now, the story of what happened in between has been unknown.
It is 1990, the year before Harry Potter will discover he is a Wizard. Professor Quirrell is off to Albania where he will become a vessel for the weakened Dark Lord, Charlie Weasley and his friends are in their seventh-year at Hogwarts, learning all about love, life, and Quidditch, and the foundation for the future is being paved.
Everyone stands at a crossroads, the road behind them broken and wilting. The road ahead holds a mystery. Which paths in life will they chose? Who will they become? Only one thing is certain; they must choose.

International Flight 457 was a private plane set aside specifically for a specified college program. There were 224 passengers and 14 crew members aboard the plane when it took off from London, England. 200 of them were students ranging from 17 years of age to 20 years old, and 20 were chaperons plus 4 university and college officials that were to accompany the students on their trip. All of them originally signed up for what was supposed to be an opportunity of a lifetime. Students arrived from all over the world in order to join this program that was sponsored by two highly accredited schools, Kingston College and Chesterfield University.
The program was meant for college-bound students 17+ through Running Start (sponsored by Kingston specifically) and for college freshmen and sophomores who would still be twenty-years-old by August 1. The program was for college credit, and while it cost a hefty sum, a limited amount of scholarships were available for those with extenuating circumstances or an excellent academic record. A full scholarship was only rewarded to one student who fit both criteria. The students didn’t even have to be from the USA; students from other countries were allowed to and even encouraged to apply!
However, midway through the flight, the engine stalled. Of the 200 students, only 50 managed to survive. Of the 38 adults, none made it out alive. The dead included family, relatives, friends, significant others, and siblings of those who managed to survive. Now, 49 boys are stranded on this island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. What's the likelihood of rescue? What's the likelihood of survival? Wanna (find out?)

The Wizarding World has seen its fair share of suffering, such as the reign of Lord Voldemort that occurred not once, but twice. But, as it was foreseen, good triumphed over evil and the world gained peace. It seemed to be everlasting for witches and wizards everywhere, a great relief to those who feared the worst in the midst of rebuilding. Twenty-five years later, someone now threatens to destroy the peace that has come to be, though not in such a way that would strike fear in the general public. It's much worse: Hogwarts has a new Headmaster and the students aren't going to like him.
Tiberius Ogden was just appointed the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry during the summer, the former Headmaster, Matthew Harrison, having abruptly retired when he suddenly came upon a very large sum of money. The Ogden name is famous for its liquor, though Tiberius has no interest in making drunks out of his peers. No, Tiberius Ogden followed another path, one of strict behavior that came with wielding a firm hand rather than a tap. A retired Hit Wizard, Tiberius has known a life of hardship and determination and believes that today's youth are becoming weak-minded prats. As a way to change this, he quickly took up the position Headmaster Harrison wished to discard.
Students will be in for quite the shock when they return to school to have their yearly start of term feast. Not only are they receiving a new Headmaster, but he comes with a whole new set of rules - rules so numerous in count that a book of them was created - something each student will find at their seat.
Will your student follow the rules or say Bugger All! to them? |

| The. Fruitful. Project. |
[30 Aug 2009|07:59pm] |
|
In the year 2010 the world was plagued by the full effect of Global Warming. No country was spared and no one could imagine the speed in which it came. Within months entire cities were underwater, drier than deserts, or completely leveled. Thousands died and there was no end in sight. Many lost hope until 2020 when the Eden Project was founded.
The Eden Project was a last ditch effort by the human race. Surviving scientists came up with a chemical, a gas called 'Eden' that would hopefully cool the atmosphere enough to put a stop to the catastrophes happening around the world. Slowly but surely the temperature began to drop and the storms slowed. In the time between the beginning of the storms to the launch of the Eden Project, the world population had dropped from nearly seven billion to a little below five.
It was another six years before the effect of the 'Eden' chemical was known.
It began in 2028. There were suddenly less children being born and by the end of 2029, pregnancies stopped all together. The men and women of the world were now completely sterile. It was soon discovered that the Eden chemical was the cause of the sterilization, that the one thing that had saved the world had also doomed it to an inevitable ending, the population destined to dwindle down to nothing.
The same lab that developed the Eden project has been working for the past nineteen years to reverse the devastating effects without destroying the now near perfect atmosphere of Earth. The Fruitful project was a serum, a cure that reversed the sterilization but only in people below the age of thirty.
The Global Government is taking a drastic step to increase the population. The Governments of the world began to administer the serum by administering it to everyone as a vaccine at doctor's appointments. To further insure that the population will continue to grow and to 'usher in a new era of life', a global law has been put into place. A marriage law. The Fruitful Law.
Every healthy, non-married person between the ages of nineteen and twenty-nine are to be married, whether by choice or by Government selection. The couple will have a one year period at the most after their marriage to conceive.
The Fruitful project is for the betterment of our world. Who will be your match?

ALTERNATE UNIVERSity PREMISE
It was a quiet day on the campus of E. Paul University as Professor Reed experimented in his lab below Verne Hall Dorm. The teachers and teachers assistants that were a mere floor up and certainly the students living in the numerous floors even above that had no idea what was about to happen. But when Professor Reed's experiment turned horribly wrong seemingly everyone was affected. The tear in the dimensional fabric of the universe sucked those who were in the building into it's vortex dropping them into an entirely different time and space. Now those who were affected must band together survive the shifting of their world and the new cultures and experiences that await them before the next world is the end of them all.
HOW IT PLAYS
So, you say, how does this game work?
The tear in the fabric of the universe will happen roughly one week after the start of the game. The characters at that time will be pushed into an alternate reality where they will have to adjust to new social and cultural climates. What will this mean for you? We, as mods, will give a description of the alternate universe that you will be playing in and you will have to understand and play with the stipulations that universe brings along. In some cases universes will call for a particular social hierarchy (such as the jobs on a pirate ship or the class system in the Renaissance) and for these situations the mods will roll a dice (yes an actual dice) to assign jobs/classes. The idea is that things are always changing and that the characters have to adjust (or not adjust and maybe lose some marbles along the way) and that we're always playing fresh situations- so one month you may be the captain of a space ship and the next you may be a peasant scrounging for food in the Medieval England.
Roughly once a month we will post a vote for the upcoming world shift and you as players are welcome (and expected) to vote for and/or suggest the next AU that we play in.
Despite the movement of game time (which will be in "real time" according to our world, though the years will change depending on the AU) the movement of time in the original universe in which EPU exists will be moving much slower. Characters which are new to the game after the initial shift will start by walking into Verne Hall and suddenly find themselves in the AU that the game is currently playing in.
As we shift worlds, your characters will gain ghost knowledge of where they are. Despite the fact that you play, say, an art major, if we shift into a space opera AU you will have an innate/intangible understanding of how to perform your job as the ship's captain or as we move into a fairytale village you'll know where you live and that the strange elf in your house is in fact your husband, while still being entirely self-aware as well.
The use of NPCs will be greatly encouraged in this game as each world will come with a new set of people surrounding you. Ask your fellow players and mods to play NPCs for you or if you have an idea of a character you want to play briefly, then let the mods know.
Note: For some yet-unexplained reason the blackberries that the school issues to students and faculty members seem to work even in worlds where there are no towers, though only on the school network. This means that your characters can post to their IJs and text each other- but only each other. There won't be any phone calls from home, any emails from your girlfriend across campus, and your friend's page isn't going to show Joey-from-History-Class.
ARE YOU...?
Are you tired of Harry Potter, X-Men, and Twilight? Do you want to try a sampling of different time periods and genres? Maybe you just want something new or love throwing your characters into AUs as much as we do! Alternate U is a community that values creative and friendly players who are interested in character development and trying something new. (Please note AU is NOT a panfandom RPG and the other worlds that will be visited will be genre/archetypes.)

PREMISE
In 1999, the Ministry of Magic decides to offer criminals an opportunity to reform and lead a "normal" life: they are branded with a mark on their wrist and are not allowed to use magic—their wands either destroyed or locked away in the Ministry. They cannot apparate or travel outside the U.K.; work a Ministry assigned job; and they are under constant watch by the Ministry of Magic, losing most of their rights to privacy (including the limitation of how many other people they can be with at any given time).
Because of their status, they are also assigned housing which is regulated and watched on a regular basis—they can live as a regular wizarding citizen, but not without the cost of constant Ministry eyes on them. They have privacy at home, but the Ministry is required to know where they are at all times.
Those opposing the Ministry Reformation Plan turned restless, feeling as though their safety and the safety of muggle society became compromised despite the Ministry's efforts to control the criminals who chose to reform. Even though Death Eaters are believed to be powerless, especially without their wands, the Ministry, the Order of the Phoenix, and others struggle with the new reform. Wizarding society has begun to break down... | |

[30 Aug 2009|11:12pm] |
The prince, young, spoiled, and much indulged sits poised to inherit the throne of Frell as he was born to do, prevented only by the will of the Queen Regent, his mother, still mourning the death of her husband, the much-loved King. She gives one reason after another to detain the coronation of her son, who she fears will ruin the kingdom, but how long can she keep him from what is rightfully his?
The nobility is far from oblivious to the plight of the royal family, of course, and everyone has their own vision of what should come to pass. Families of stature are bringing their daughters to court, hoping to have them chosen to be ladies in waiting to the Queen, hoping one will catch the eye of the prince or someone else of wealth and influence. Lords, sensing the impending change in power, hope to befriend the right people or plot to bring their families the status and fortune of the favorites to the crown.
Even servants play their part and everyone has spies. Who can be trusted in this court of intrigue, when motives are far from pure and ambitions on the rise?
I'm looking to create a royal court, a court full of intrigue and ambition inspired by the Tudor court of King Henry VIII, a court on the brink of change, where no one is sure who will emerge victorious. Interested?
Fair is a game inspired by the world created by Gail Carson Levine, though no prior knowledge is required to join! We're active and friendly, very welcoming to new players. Game information can be found at enchantedmod.
