Hogwarts, meet the Ministry.
With the latest orders from the Ministry, the structure of the Prefect system at Hogwarts was the first change: Prefects have been paired by year and house, forming a team which cannot assign detentions or take house points without consulting one another. It was from this new policy that the Inquisitorial Squad was reborn: a student-run club designed to train interested students in Ministry issues and conflict resolution. At Hogwarts, things are orderly, organized, and above all, fair - or are they?
Prefects are finding new ways to abuse their powers and control others. Students retaliate in their own ways, bringing personal issues before the Inquisitorial Squad, treating it more like a Hogwarts' version of the Wizengamot than a wizarding Model UN club. A secret society runs amok in the student underground, their activities and intentions mysterious and seemingly neutral -- for now.
In a socially revolutionary game, the members of Absit Invidia invite you to join the new generation of wizards and witches as they return to Hogwarts, the war of their parents forgotten. Their new challenge? The battles of everyday life as a young magician; struggling to make friendships, remember charms and pass classes in the face of adjusted policies and countless possibilities. |

| metempsychosis - a modern day mythological rpg |

 | me·tem·psy·cho·sis
noun
\mə-ˌtem(p)-si-ˈkō-səs, ˌme-təm-ˌsī-\
Definition of METEMPSYCHOSIS
: the passing of the soul at death into another body |
Think of any long-gone deity from mythology. Now imagine that they aren't truly gone but instead that their essence lives on...is reincarnated inside of that guy who sits next to you on the bus every day. Or Maureen from Accounting. Or maybe even inside of you.
The old deities once existed, once walked the Earth, and mortals trembled at their names. Long ago, they each slowly faded out, their existence only remembered as fables and tales. During this decline, one deity gathered up and called upon his or her last reserves of power and influence to create a reprieve, of sorts, for them all. They would find their essence--their souls if you will--not dissipated amongst the matter of the Universe but instead reborn inside a mortal body. The gods would be mortal, yes, their power would be greatly diminished, yes, and they might not even remember what they once were, but they would at least exist. |

Riverview Psychiatric Center
![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) riverview_mod
----------------------------------------------------------
Six more apps until we open!
The Riverview Psychiatric Center, in collaboration
with the community, is a center for best practice,
treatment, education and research, for individuals with
serious, persistent mental illness, and co-occurring
substance use disorders.
Riverview Psychiatric Center is located in Augusta,
Maine. It is a hospital for patients over the age
of eighteen. It is a permanent home to some patients.
For other patients, it is their own prison. The Center
is capable of treating many different types of disorders.
From anorexia nervosa to schizophrenia. Each patient
is assigned their own doctor who specializes in the
right kind of treatment and therapy needed. Few of
the doctors lack the patience needed to help the patients
at Riverview, but they do their best.
While the surrounding communities view the Center as helpful,
the patients know what really happens there. The main building
is new, rebuilt in the 1980s, the other buildings are older,
with plenty of forgotten tunnels and a basement that was
once used for storage. The patients who are able to wander,
have traveled to these forgotten parts and some take full
advantage of the privacy found there. Though the doctors
can't be bothered, most of the nurses and security know about
the secrets hiding beneath the buildings.
There are some staff members of Riverview, who cater to the
needs of the patients, in exchange for favors.
Money. Sex. Drugs.
The Center isn't as clean cut as it appears.

 SWEPT AWAY // a Ghost Ship movie based role play.
We're a small forum game based on the 2002 film Ghost Ship. It's more an original take with canon characters AND original characters. New York City and how people are either human, or soul collectors. There really isn't any werewolves or vampires or anything, but it's a neat modern game that could turn into something really cool! |

"Immortals are what you wanted," said Thor in a low, quiet voice. "Immortals are what you got. It is a little hard on us. You wanted us to be for ever, so we are for ever. Then you forget about us. But we are still for ever. Now at last, many are dead, many are dying," he then added in a quiet voice, "but it takes a special effort."
-- Douglas Adams |
Forgotten Gods follows the deities of ancient mythologies, brought to America long ago by explorers or immigrants from their homelands and eventually abandoned or lost from memory. As their worshippers have moved on to new religions, the gods' powers have waned -- for a god, at its most pure essence, is no more than an idea, and an idea is worthless if there is nobody to believe in it. Some have passed, forgotten, from the world, while others have fallen into madness. Some have simply tried to adapt, to make a life for themselves in this place without gods, getting by on what little scraps of worship and belief they can garner. Others are more radical, intent on regaining the power that was once theirs and reviving their followings.
And then there are the New Gods. Gods of cars and computers, television and radio, cities and highways, all those things that modern Americans put their faith in. They are young, at the height of their power. These newcomers are regarded dismissively by some of the old ones, who have seen so many new deities rise and fall in their time; jealously by others, who wish to reclaim the power for their own; and by all with a deep, abiding wariness.
Inspired by the world of Neil Gaiman's American Gods, this game invites players to step into the roles of deities, old and new, to create their own modern mythology. |

After the seventh year, comes the eighth.
Voldemort has been defeated, the dust has settled and everyone is working hard to rebuild their lives following the end of the war.
One would think that it would be a time of peace and healing...
But not everyone is pleased with the demise of the Dark Lord. For he was a leader, and what's a leader without his followers? These followers didn't just disappear after Voldemort's death, no, they only went into hiding. Recruiting from their position in the shadows, the remaining Death Eaters are targeting the younger generation in order to restore their population and finish what they started.
Those not aware of the darkness still surrounding them are going on with their lives as best they can. Only time will tell if things are really changing for the better.
Or perhaps the world is merely being led into a false sense of security.

The last time the ultimate beings known as The Brothers became aware of each other, they collided in a conflict that nearly destroyed their two multiverses. Then, for a time, they became one. When they did so, they combined not only themselves, but the many inhabitants of those multiverses. This created what would from then on be referred to as the "Amalgam" universe, and gave rise to such heroes as Dark Claw, Iron Lantern, and Amazon. It also became the home of villains such as the Green Skull, Catsai, and Dare. But their world existed only briefly, and through the work of two cosmic beings and a man called Access they were once more separated. The time of separation was years for the multiverses, however to the Brothers, it was surprisingly brief.
Then, as if urged by the irresistable hand of fate, the Brothers came together again. This time though, it was different. They came not with anger, but with peace. Armed with the lessons they had learned from their last attempt the Brothers chose to allow their creations to decide for themselves, subconciously and instantaneously, to continue living separately, or return to their lost lives from the forgotten Amalgam Universe. |
