London, England
The 19th Century
By secret order of the crown, 1891 sees the activation of a covert organisation accountable only to the monarch. Formed in response to occult aspects of the Whitechapel murders, these 'Royal Inquisitors' are tasked with the containment or elimination of supernatural threats to the interests of the British Empire. These crusading guardians are invested with the authority to root out occult elements that could corrupt society. Regarded with respect and fear by the few who know of them, the Royal Inquisition is a highly secretive order, dedicated to upholding civilisation against dark, primordial forces, by any means necessary. Unlike knights of old, they have access to the most radical technological advances of the era: In an age of exploring the unknown, with revolutionary science clashing against religion, Royal Inquisitors not only hold the front line against supernatural dangers, but see themselves as agents of purification, bringing light to shadow and eliminating the preternatural.
In this quest, concessions must be made. The Royal Inquisitors make deals with those touched by the otherworldly... People with such abilities as speaking with the dead. The Spiritualist movement is taking hold in society and, to the Royal Inquisitors, these men and women are useful tools in their battle against the darkness and are paid for their advising services. One must have bloodhounds when on a hunt.
Down the centuries, champions of light and dark have always waged war. These diverse groups might find themselves working together to avoid the Royal Inquisition's wrath. Dhampirs, demons, vampires, black witches and white, lycanthropes, practitioners of infernal magic, ghosts of the damned and far more... All might find themselves on the same side before long, drawn together against an enemy using steam, iron and electricity.

Charles Xavier established the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters in 1985, a high-school level institute for children with special talents. Previously, his work with the "Mutant X Gene" was considered preposterous by most of the scientific community, and many expressed that "finding logic in the 'gifts' of psychics and fortune tellers was a waste of taxpayer money". The idea that any number of "supernatural" abilities could be explained by a common genetic abnormality was unheard of, and Xavier was practically laughed out of the scientific community. When the school was developed, no one was quite sure under what criteria he selected his attendees, the student body count of the first year being only fifty-six. Over the next five years that number more than doubled, and has remained at around 250 students every year since.
In the past ten years, the idea of "mutants", became more widespread, though no official statements were ever made. Most of the population in the United states still strongly considered the idea to be ridiculous openly. Still, speculation and paranoia grew, and the word "mutant" became more commonplace.
Over the past couple years it seems that Xavier has been "recruiting" students more actively than ever.
![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) x_academy is an AU, Marvel universe school rp that focuses on the every day events and relationships of the students and faculty of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. The game focuses primarily on character interaction and personal plot, but will also delve into the complications of mutant tolerance in a world that may not be ready.

Forever Dawn
Welcome to Forks, WA where nothing is just what it seems. Where vampires and werewolves are as real as you or me.
Follow the story of Bella and her love, Edward. In the end, Bella is made into a vampire, and the Volturi were deterred away from harming everyone Bella loves.
But what if there was more to the story? What if there was another pack of wolves, Other dangers lurk nearby that Bella and her friends and family aren't quite aware of...yet.
Forever Dawn is a post-Breaking Dawn AU RP. It will be following some of the events in Breaking Dawn, but not line for line. |

Infernalism
The age old battle-- Good and evil. God vs. Satan. An ethereal and invisible war is going on all around us, though we can't see it. We all know it's there. The air is tense, and we are always frightened of the what if's, the unknown and strangers.
But what if people were forced to take a side and take a stand for what they believe in?
Satan, or Apophis as he prefers, has devised a plan in which he believes he can 'conquer' the heavens. He's taken the form of a human, and forced God to do the same. The seraphim (The highest angels), are now in control of Heaven and Hell, while God and Satan wander the mortal realm of earth in seach of followers to help, and each other. Now, everyone has taken sides. Whether it be with God or with Satan, Everyone has chosen. No one can stay neutral, the war has been brought to our plane of existence.
Infernalism is a multi-fandom RP, and while it has a rather Christian premise, is NOT a religious game. |

“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 viscous war upon the Wizarding World.
Everyone knows the story of Harry Potter, 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, and the foundation for the future is being paved.
They are at a crossroads, the road behind them broken and wilting. The road ahead lies a mystery, which paths will they chose? Who will they become? Only one thing is certain; they must continue on.

London, 1840
For years the Undead have hidden in London, guarded by their own political system –The Council – and an allegiance with three of the strongest political families of the day. In exchange for the loss of independence they have lived free from their fear of an imminent mob. But all that is changing. A dark figure stalks the London streets, murdering those who cross its path and already whispers have begun to spread that this is the work of something inhuman. They undead must find a way to stop this creature before it’s too late, or risk being blamed for its crimes.
