Throughout time each culture has had their own way of passing down the morals of society to the newest additions—their children. Each culture had different tales of characters who strayed from the right, to follow the wrong—or those who had stood up for what was right. They have taught countless generations the differences between good and evil, strength and weakness, courage and cowardice. Morality all rolled up into nice little slices of adventure, romance, deceit, and betrayal. But what happens after "happily ever after"? When the page is turned the characters do not sit idly by and wait.
Once upon a time they stepped from the pages into our world, immortal and powerful and free to do as they would - heroes and villains alike - and began to live like mortals. At first they were pure Tales in human form, princesses and evil stepmothers and knights in shining armor thrown into a reality they couldn't fathom, but as time passed the lines started to blur. They learned how the real world works and were forced to adapt—or to attempt to make the world conform to them.
They are not trapped, however. Part and parcel with their power is the ability to change. If Snow White fell in love with a mortal she could abandon her powers and pass them on, becoming fully human and living out a normal life from that point on. The reasons vary, and not everyone has motivations that are so pure; for some it was a means to an end—giving a villain a greater chance to seize power and hold sway over others—but for most, it simply allowed them to live out the life they'd made for themselves in the mortal world. The Tale lived, then, in another body, and the story could continue. And while some took the responsibility seriously and strove to choose their predecessor well, others were careless and wreaked havoc. Some have chosen not to pass on their magic at all.
For the new Tales, then, life becomes different. They are now immortal, gaining abilities they'd never thought possible, and have both the memories of their own previous life and of the Tale that they, now, have lived. It can be just as painful as when they stepped out of the Tales in their first form, especially if their predecessor did not choose wisely...

"….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 …"
Across Europe the Wizarding Community lies in fear. Voldemort and his followers are on the rise, leaving behind a reign of terror in their wake. As his numbers increase, Wizards begins to grow more uneasy, increasingly choosing to fall prey to his Empire, out of fear, unwilling to stand up and fight.
In spite of the increasing danger, a small group of vigilante Wizards has begun to pull ranks, daring to do what the Ministry fears to do; fight. The Order of the Phoenix is slowly growing into a force to be reckoned with, threatening not only Voldemort, but the Ministry itself.
Change is on the brink and 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.
Amongst the darkness, these students are potentially the light needed to give the Order the man power to take on Voldemort’s forces. As both sides fight to gain support, one question lies: which side do you choose?

My lightning's flashing across the sky,
You're only young but you're gonna die.
Turn off your lights and step into the world of nigthmares; a place where the things that terrify you the most are as real as your own two feet, and the only way you are kept safe is through the vigilance of the Hunters. These unappreciated, and often persecuted, few are the ones that keep the evil of the supernatural world at bay.
But for how long?
The hunters are few and heavily outnumbered. The fight is soon coming and demons and angels alike are prowling the streets. When war is brewing and destruction draws night, which side will you choose? More importantly--which side will emerge victorious? What lies in wait at the end of the road? |

The Fruitful Project
Original Character. Future. Arranged Marriage. 17 & Up.
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.
|
In 2048 a solution was found
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?

Imagine a place where Blackbeard the Pirate and King Henry the VIII have weekly games of poker, where the fates and furies walk among the everyday citizen, where wizards are gods and no one is what they seem, even your best friend.
Welcome to the Fortunate Isles. Long before wizards, emperors, kings, and warriors walked the earth the gods and the fates did. But like all species the gods died out and were replaced or forgotten in favour of new trends and ideals, but the fates are forever. The fates have stood by patiently and watched humans evolve through the centuries, looking for the perfect species for their experiment and in their search they came across wizards. Human but not quite human at the same time; with the abilities to do pretty much anything with their minds the Fates have decided that they will be perfect for the Fortunate Isles, their private get away where gods, and furies, Valkyries and pirates, kings and emperors alike walk once more, their personalities transplanted into the bodies of wizards. Upon death witches and wizards will enter the Fortunate Isles where nothing will ever be the same for them again.
With all of their memories from life still in tact the witches and wizards of past must now figure out how to live with new personalities and accept the fact that not everyone can be a god and everything you once knew, is no longer the same. |

It has been a year of peace since Sorceress Ultimecia’s reign of terror. Time Compression was opposed by the young heroes of Balamb Garden, and the Witch of the future was sent to her death. For a precious time following her destruction, the world was able to recover in a long-awaited era of normalcy. Students continued to feed SeeD with new minds to mould and educate, with Gardens doors remaining open to faces new and old, and the teenage cadets were able to take a moment to enjoy their youth with dances and festivals and social-gatherings. Slowly but surely, it felt as if the world was reverting back to its old rhythm and forgetting the wounds of yesteryear, and organisations continued to provide Balamb Garden with a steady line of clientele, utilising their teams of elite mercenaries by pulling them across-continent as personal soldiers.
But now there is change afoot. President Deling II, of the dominating nation known as Galbadia, has declared war on SeeD and its schools, with his eye especially narrowing upon the headquarters of Balamb Garden. In his quest to topple the world, SeeD’s child-soldiers stands as the greatest opposition to the Galbadian army. The choice he offers: assimilate, or be destroyed.
How may this alter the young lives of those living within the Garden? Who will stand their ground? Who will be lost?
A storm is coming.
liberatifatali; the Children of Fate, is a game set in the world of Final Fantasy VIII; a world overrun with political corruption, magic and young heroes. It focuses on the lives of the teenagers of the military school known as Balamb Garden, and some of the key members of the older cast who stand in useful positions in Estharian and Galbadian society. A social game as well as a plot-driven one, a lot of the emphasis is on the relationships between the young cast, with the teenage problems of cadets and SeeDs within Balamb Garden being offset by the looming threat of Galbadia and the dangerous atmosphere it casts over even the sweetest of moments. Detailed writers are to be found herein, as well as canon personalities and an uncertain future that anyone can influence.
Balamb Garden students are playable between ages 15-19.
NEEDED:
Irvine Kinneas ♦, Xu ♦, the son of Mayor Dobe, FFVIII equivalents of other FF characters, the son of Dr. Kadowaki, the children of Kiros Seagill and Ward Zabac, and teenagers of all shapes and orientations!

The Greek Gods are bored
There's not much to do on Mount Olympus these days. The world has changed, and with it the mentality of people. In Ancient Greece, the gods were admired, feared, and respected. It has been centuries since humans worshiped them, centuries since people truly believed in them. Now they're nothing more than myths and cold marble status resting in museums or in squares gathering dust.
Zeus and the rest of the Gods have made a decision: To come down from Mount Olympus disguised as mortals, as they used to do in the past. They wouldn't be reborn as mortals, though. They chose an adult mortal body and appeared on earth.
So it became time the Gods had fun again... And what better way than to become students and join the Greek System at Dartwood University, located in Southern California?
