Manifest Destiny: A Marvel AU in the Wild West [29 Jul 2010|12:08am] Manifest Destiny is a Marvel Comics-based AU set in the Dakotas during the days of the Wild West. It is 1875. The United States is at a crossroads, still binding up the wounds of a country torn in two a decade before in the Civil War, while pushing westward in exploration with optimistic enthusiasm for its centennial celebration next year. After completion of the railway link back east and the discovery of gold and good ranching and farming land, the Dakota Territory has seen its share of boomtowns. One of these was named Marvel. Dr. Charles Xavier, having opened a school and home for orphans after experiencing the horrors of war, has recently moved out west with students both old and new to provide an atmosphere less rigid than that of his ancestral home in New York. He dreams of giving these orphans an education and a fresh start where they can thrive and not be held back by their birth and their lack of economic opportunity. He's assisted by old pupils turned teachers, and his good friend Erik Lensherr, an immigrant who fled persecution in Eastern Europe. But where Xavier would ideally turn his orphans into gentlemen and ladies who can use their talents to improve society, Lensherr thinks that first his pupils must survive and grab an assured place in life before they can start improving it. Which man's philosophy influences any particular student's outlook and behavior more, who can say? The law does its best to keep things in line. Colonel Nicholas Fury, hero of the famed Howling Commandos, keeps an Army garrison nearby at Fort Shield to help keep the peace in the area for major upheavals. For the day-to-day there's Steven Rogers and his posse of US Marshals, nicknamed the "Avengers" for their swift defense of justice, as well as the local sheriff and deputies. But it's still a rough and tumble atmosphere, with bandits and mercenaries alike. Many people have been making their way out West in the expansion to Marvel and its surroundings to make a new life, whether to escape from home or the results of the war, or from boundless optimism: soldiers, immigrants, homesteaders, cowboys, gold miners, quacks, scientists, saloon girls, gunslingers, merchants, outlaws, and gamblers alike. It makes for a vibrant and sometimes volatile atmosphere, where just about anything can happen. Game Opened July 5th, Holds and Apps Open Now!

Life As You Know It: Post-DH RPG [29 Jul 2010|12:56pm] Life As You Know It is a Harry Potter RPG set in 2005. The focus of the game will be character and world building, and once we have a dynamic, rich enviornment we'll add in some game-wide plot. The plot will be both mod and player created and run, and once we have a good foundation going, we'll have an open discussion to see where we go from here. (Some initial ideas are a virus, a rogue werewolf pack or a serial killer. These are not set in stone, and we would not do all of them. It will be up to the players to decide which direction will be most interesting for the game.) Life As You Know It will be a thread-based game (no linked journals or AIM rp) and will open as soon as we have ten applications. We'll character and world build for about a month, and then start off the game-wide plot after everyone has a good grasp on a character. If you've ever wanted to try a character out before diving into a detailed plot, or have a hand in creating said detailed plot, this is the place for you. We're looking for complex, multi-faceted characters who will add something extra to the game. Please send questions to lifemods@gmail.com.

[29 Jul 2010|03:26pm] The year is now 2112 and most of Earth’s inhabitants call the stars their home. Science and technology continue to advance with each passing day and after 37 years of peace, the future remains bright for mankind. Or so it would seem... An entire century has passed since the Disaster of 2012 took place and while most have nearly forgotten about the mysterious event, a commotion is beginning to brew amongst the general populace... A mass amount of people claiming to have disappeared during the Disaster of 2012, have recently surfaced, reappearing out of nowhere aboard the American’s floating city, Serenus. Historical records prove their claims to be true, but despite a total of 100 years having passed, none from the group have aged a day. The citizens of Serenus are confused, some even fearful of the Specialis Gens as they have been labeled by the government. Questions are being asked, curiosities are peaked, but those in power continue to deny having any knowledge of the strange occurrence. At least that’s what it looks like on the surface.

[29 Jul 2010|09:42pm] Welcome to Avalonis, where superheroes and villains walk the streets and nothing is quite what it seems. The city of Avalonis was once dubbed the superpowered capital of the world and even today the city is filled with people who can do the most extraordinary things. Some can move things with their mind, others can read them and then there are some who have no powers at all but insist on fighting for justice nonetheless. As when you have a city filled with heroes, villains will follow and now the city is host to some of the most spectacular and epic show downs the world has ever seen. Beneath the shiny exterior of the city and the side that the tourists come to see in the hope of catching a glimpse of the city's famous heroes and villains is a layer of corruption. The Irish mob and Italian mafia control parts of the city, pushing prostitution and drugs onto the streets of Avalonis. If there's something you crave then there's always a way to get it, no matter how sordid your tastes. There's a reason why the city needs heroes. Avalonis Police Department is rife with corruption. The internal struggle within the department is probably why they have yet to pay full attention to the recent disappearances of young superpowered individuals, but how long can these disappearances remain unnoticed and who knows more than they're letting on?
