On December 26th, 2009, the cruise ship Nausicaä set sail from Miami to Bermuda on her maiden voyage.
In the months beforehand, 100 lucky people from all over the world won themselves a ticket with a budding cruise line, Odyssey Lines. Some entered themselves, some didn't - though it was explained that a friend, family, or co-worker anonymously submitted their name in a contest. To all winners, it seemed like a dream come true. An all-expenses paid New Years celebration in paradise. Plane tickets to Miami, and home from Bermuda were included.
The Nausicaä was set to arrive in Bermuda on January 4th, 2010. That never happened.
On New Years Eve, a terrible storm hit them at sea, pushing them off-course and sending them deeper into the Bermuda Triangle. All outside communication with the world was lost. Satelite devises, such as tracking, died. Compasses began to spin. Cell phones stopped working. They were lost at sea.
On January 2nd, the Nausicaä turned what was presumably East, knowing that eventually they'd hit something. This, too, never happened. Though direction was never altered, the sun rose and set in a new position every day.
Crew started disappearing. The captain kills himself. The Nausicaä is lost in the Bermuda Triangle, its passengers left to fend for themselves.
Will you survive?
Oblivion is a brand new, original-character game just opened on January 2nd. We have friendly, experienced mods, and an ever-growing player base happy to plot! Don't miss your chance to be there from the beginning!

An epidemic of organ failures leads millions to their deaths. What follows is nothing less of chaos. With thousands of people dying off daily, graveyards and cemetaries become over populated. Mass burial grounds are placed beneath cities to keep up with the death toll.
Out of all the tragedy a savior emerges.
A company fitfully being called GeneCo offers transplants, 'replacements' and genetic alteration without failure. What's even better? GeneCo offers "organ financing". Cheating death, people are finally able to recieve their surgeries without fear of dying...( for now. )

| 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.

THE COSMIC PLAYTHING
"We’re all fate’s bitch. You might as well go ahead and bend over for destiny now."
Sometimes, there's the sneaking suspicion that maybe there's a great force is pulling the strings... and that something doesn't like us very much. This character doesn't just wonder; They know. For some strange reason, they find their lives governed by unfortunate events and rules that defy either coincidence or logical explanation. They might figure out some of the "rules", the what and the where, but the how and the why? Complete mystery.
Examples: Cory of Boy Meets World. JD in Scrubs. Chance in Strange Luck.

What happens after Happily Ever After?
Heroes and villains alike seek someplace to exist before they fade from existence. Others search for a way home, not sure if there's a home left to go to. Pentamerone is the last stronghold of human imagination. The hundreds of magical lands and worlds that used to exist in the minds of children are now in a state of decay. Pentamerone is a world of mystery, of new places to be explored, and full of new people to meet. It looks idyllic, peaceful, welcoming. But only one thing's certain:
Once you cross its borders,
you can never return home again. |

Live On follows a group of survivors during a zombie apocalypse, doing what they can to survive while dealing with their own interpersonal conflicts. Manufactured by unknown means to the public, they came out of nowhere, infecting and eating everything -- everyone -- in sight. It wasn't long before communication with one city was lost, followed by another and another in a fast-spreding epidemic. Those left behind, left alive, have banded together, sticking to rooftops and making use of their own skills to survive. From those simply caught in the madness by no choice of their own to those responsible for such a catastrophe, they all have to overcome their differences if they hope to keep on their toes and escape the zombie horde. |

dramatis personae
disneymods
We all have fond memories of the Happiest place on Earth. Whether we rode Splash Mountain, talked to Ariel, or watched a show, or trip was made better by the hard working cast members- the actors and staff who were characters, worked in stores, or were backstage hands. But who are these people who dedicated their time to making Disney Magic daily?
Well you are of course!
Say What?
Dramatis Personae is a new Disneyland based rp, centering around the lives of college students who decide to work at the park. From all corners of the country they flock to Disneyland to earn some money, put on a costume, and make some magic.
You can join them with your very own character- so come join the fun!
Our rp is, however, adult based and we will only be considering players over the age of 18. We are slash, femme, and het friendly, and will never turn an application completely away.
Disc.Dramatis Personae is in no way connected to other Disney based RPs on livejoural, insanejournal or elsewhere. We do not work for the Disney Company, nor do we plan to. This is a PB based rp, not celeb. We're just fans having fun.

| The Field: A Game Of Survival |
[19 Feb 2009|09:02pm] |
Have you ever imagined what it would be like to wake up one morning and be completely lost?
Imagine that you go to sleep one night and wake up the next morning not where you were supposed to be. All that you have with you is the clothes you were wearing when you fell asleep and perhaps your pillow or blanket, if you are lucky. Confused, you lift your head up to see that it is a beautiful morning. Not a cloud in the sky and the sun is already dazzling. As you clear the sleep from your eyes, certain things start to stand out. You are alone, in a vast field. There is a gentle breeze blowing through the grass. The purple grass. You've never seen grass like that before and as you blink through the bright, nearly white light of the sun you notice the treeline and think that you've never seen trees and vegitation quite like that before either. In a panic you jump up, you run. You run and run and maybe even call out. Call for help. The only thing that answers is the rustle of small animals in the brush, the scatter of brightly coloured birds unlike any you've ever seen before.
Before long you tire yourself out. You keep moving until you are exhausted, you give in to fear. Maybe even sit down to cry. This gives you time to think. How did this happen to you? What happened last night? How did you end up in this strange, strange place so far from home? Unfortunately, nothing at all comes to you. It isn't until that strange white sun starts to sink below the trees that you hear them. In the distance, a strange laughing. No, it's not laughing but it is some kind of animal call. They are large, and there are more than a couple of them. They are moving your way, following the scent of your sweat, you're fear.
The only thing that you know then is that whatever they are, you don't want them to find you.
And then: "Hey," someone says from the brush, barely a whisper. "Hey, over here."
You look and find the face of someone just as dirty, clad in pajamas and wearing a lap blanket like a cape over their shoulders. It's dirty as well. They gesture for you to follow and more than anything else, you are so relieved. You've been found, and whatever has happened, at least you aren't alone anymore.
The Field is a game that explores how a group deals with fear, most especially fear of the unknown. It's a game of survivalism starring every likely and unlikely type of person imaginable. Terror, sadness, joy and possibly even friendship and pride are possible in this game. There are no frills and flashy graphics here, just solid storytelling, drama and explorations into character development.

With the HIV pandemic come and gone, the global population faces another risk: global infertility. Irregardless of nationality, ethnicity, lifestyle or life regimen, no children have been born anywhere on the planet in the past fifteen years. Panic abounds. Extremist governments come to power in most countries. The whisper of a cure becomes a chant and soon rumors become reality. |
|
|
|
The United States government announces a treatment that can restore fertility among its people. However, fertility comes at a cost. Legislation has quickly been passed. The treatment will only be administered under certain conditions. An individual must be in good health, between the ages of 16-50, and married. Furthermore, participation for all eligible individuals is not optional. Unmarried individuals of age will be listed in a lottery, and married with the intent to start a family. |
|
|
|
Institutions have been erected. Before all matched couples are sent into their forced cohabitation, they are required to spend time together in government sanctioned counseling centers. Once each month they are required to undergo the fertility treatment, and they are expected to produce a child. Failure for one or both to do so will result in imprisonment until they comply. |
