[03 Jul 2010|11:54am] Welcome to the end of what you knew, and the beginning of the new world order. We're The Collective, and we'll be your travel guide to the apocalypse. The world is in trouble. Technically, it's been in trouble, and for quite some time now. People are just starting to catch on to the fact that things are screwed. The whole place, it's never going to be the same, and the majority of the earth's population? They're all scrambling, boo-hooing about how no one knew, and they're just now dealing with this shit. Well, we knew. We've always known. And while everyone else is busy running around like chickens who've just got slaughtered but don't know it yet--we're doing something about it. We've always been doing something about it. We're that organization that conspiracy theorists knew was there but never had the name right on. We are not your government. We are those people who show up, take control of a situation, and learn all we can from it. We're not the men in black, but we're damn close. We are The Collective. And we know what everyone else told you was bullshit. We know the truth, and we're here to save your ass, even if you're too busy playing catch up to do it yourselves. You might not like our methods, but someone's got to quell the tide, and no one else is stepping up. We are sending ARC units your way. Archive Research and Containment. Try to stay out of our way. ♦Looking specifically for members of The Collective! Looking for ARC unit operatives! Also, we're searching for residents of developing areas of the game, including Manhattan, Manchester and Colorado. All types currently available and wanted!

Manifest Destiny [03 Jul 2010|12:41pm] Manifest Destiny MODS • RPG • OOC THEY ARE JUST BEGINNING. . . Premise Characters Rules Apply Drop Box Most Wanted Credit Everything changes. Nowhere is this more true then in the world of Marvel. For a little more then half a century there have been new characters, new story lines, old characters brought back. Different versions, time lines, and universes open up all kinds of role play possibilities. For some of us, we miss Marvel the way it used to be. Before our favorite characters had their histories retconned by new writers several times. Before characters were killed off, brought back, and killed off again. Before there were more characters and team members then you could possibly name. Back when it was about just a team, dealing with life, hero work, and finding their place in the world. We miss role play the way it used to be. Where you write with other writers, where the plot and play where the important part of the game and not in character AIM sessions. Where you wanted to write a character in situations with other characters, not just write out private journal entries, and interact only through comments on other people's journals. Where it's about the game, not all the accessories. With a plot that brings the fledgling teams of X Men and Excalibur together, we are looking for members that enjoy writing, and interacting with a group. We are all for non censored mature role play that starts small teams and adds characters as we go to make sure there is plenty of interaction for everyone and no one feels left out! So if you are looking for some old school Marvel role play where everyone is involved in posting and plots, where input is welcomed and the drama is reserved for in game, then come see who we are recruiting for the game. If no one looks good, everyone is welcome to make requests for the next batch of characters to add. GAME BEGINS WITH THE ACCEPTANCE OF 5 HEROES. post comment

[03 Jul 2010|01:22pm] premise ‡ rules ‡ faq ‡ taken/holds ‡ application ‡ mod contact places and jobs ‡ the townspeople ‡ ghostly things Grave Comfort is a supernaturally themed original character role-playing game set in a fictitious small town known as Comfort, Virginia. Established in 1763, Comfort has a rich history going back to the original colonies of America. In the present day, it is famous for the strange goings-on that happen throughout the town: mysterious lights over the woods, a haunted former prison for the criminally insane, haunted train tracks, the remains of a 19th century cult that ended in mass murder...there was even a cult slasher film series based on the town's supernatural history that has spawned an annual horror film festival. Typical tourist attractions can be found in town too, from tours on the Buckley Plantation or at the Thorpe winery to visits to the Historical Society's Museum or one of the many art galleries in town. Come to Comfort for its attractions, stay to experience its oddities. Welcome to Comfort! post comment

[03 Jul 2010|06:32pm] Opening July 31 or at 10 characters. 1977: The Death Eaters are rallying; the Aurors are scrambling. The Wizarding war is approaching its peak and the death toll grows day by day. Voldemort is gaining influence and accumulating followers every week: powerful purebloods, selfish cowards, anyone willing to add to his numbers and aid in his noble cause. Those who publicly stand against him usually end up dead and those who fear him live in shambles. However, there is one man more powerful than Voldemort, one wizard whom even the Dark Lord himself would hesitate to stand up against: Albus Dumbledore. Despite the darkness of the Wizarding world, those students who will be returning to Hogwarts in September will be safe and protected, somewhat sheltered from the evils of the world. But not for long. The game starts out as canon Marauder Era, but will gradually begin to take on an AU course after the game has been going for several weeks, when students from the future use the ancient vicis tempus spell to arrive in the past. It doesn't take long to make the visitors realize the future as they know it is long gone... if they even still have a future. preteritus | vicis_tempus | confero_ooc Premise | Rules | F.A.Q. | Application | Available & Held Characters | Taken Characters | Hogwarts Information | War Information | Friend Add | Player Contact post comment

[03 Jul 2010|07:05pm] #1 - THE FACTS OF LIFE. The most important rule is that no one actually dies. Most especially if there is no body found - but even then... The dead person will choose to resurface at a most inopportune time - like when his 'widow' has finally stopped crying and is about to marry someone else. #2 - YOU HAVE A TWIN. If you are evil, your twin is the epitome of decent. If you are good, your twin is the epitome of evil. This twin, especially in the latter scenario, will attempt at some point in your life to take over for you. You will be held prisoner somewhere unable to communicate to the people you love that it is not you doing all those uncharacteristic things. This evil twin will also have sex with your significant other. You must never forgive your significant other for this transgression as that person should have known it wasn't you. #3 - YOUR FORMER SPOUSE. The ex-husband/wife that you failed to mention will show up at your wedding to the new true love. If this former spouse is a wife, she is there to tell you about the child you never knew you had. #4 - EDUCATION. You do not have to be a college graduate (or even High School really) to become CEO of a major company (or a doctor or lawyer). The best way to succeed in business in a Soap Opera Town is to have your father (or much older spouse) own the business or to have some really good dirt on the owner so that he/she will be forced to give you a great job or be ruined for life. #5 - AGING. If you send your child to camp or a boarding school, the same child will return twice as old as when he/she left even if only a year or a few months have passed. Be aware that this child will be ready to cause problems in your life. This child resents you - A LOT - for neglecting him or her for all these years. (Even though you could swear this child only left a few months ago). #6 - CHILDREN. If a young, beautiful woman comes to town and either tries to or actually succeeds in stealing your husband... REJOICE - for this is the long lost daughter you never knew you had. Or maybe you did know, you have just conveniently failed to mention it to anyone, or maybe you had amnesia or a split personality and don't actually remember giving birth to said child. This should also alert you that the father of said child will not be far behind. #7 - APPROACHING DEATH. If, all of the sudden, you feel compelled to tell everyone how much you love and respect them for no apparent reason. If you forgive all those who have wronged you even if you have been mortal enemies for years and you have done all you can to ruin their lives and vice versa, you should be aware that you are about to die. This also applies if you have ticked every person in town off and they have all threatened to kill you in some way or another. If you find yourself very upset about situation 7 - don't despair - see situation 1. welcome to soaptown. post comment
