The wizarding world might be in ruins, but it's nothing compared to the school and to the students that survived. How will the recent events affect them? Will they find absolution for what they did? |

 "You think you know a story, but you only know how it ends. To get to the heart of the story, you have to go back to the beginning." - King Henry VIII |
King Henry Tudor VIII was one of the most influential and ruthless kings in England's history. He was often influenced and misguided by the council of his court. Some of his accomplishments could either be considered great, or just the opposite. Due to the corruption of the people closest to himself, he killed many innocents without remorse in the name of religion. He destroyed churches and monasteries during the English Reformation. Although his intentions were good, wanting to use the money he gained from stripping down buildings of worship to give back to his people, it didn't end that way. King Henry VIII was also well known for having gone through six wives during his reign from 1509-1547. One of these wives would be the start of it all. Something the realm would soon call, "The Great Matter."
"The Great Matter," was really just an excuse. Henry was in a piss poor mood over not being granted a divorce to his wife, Catherine of Aragon, so that he could marry a girl named Anne Boleyn. This lead to England's great reformation. Henry wanted to become head of church in England so that he could divorce Catherine himself. He succeeded. He was exiled from Rome and the Vatican. People either stayed Catholic and loyal to the church despite Henry VIII's hatred for the religion, or became reformers. These reformers were Lutheran. The Lutheran's wanted churches and monasteries destroyed. They believed priests and cardinals alike should marry if they pleased, and that to pray to god you did not have to go to church. There were, of course, the people who were undecided, but they kept quiet on the matter. Eventually King Henry started executing people left and right for continuing to follow the Catholic church, and later he ended up executing the people who told him he should reform.
Aside from just great romances and courting amongst the population, there were also great wars and rebellions. You will find both of these things in the game!
~Tudors is AU and begins in the year 1515, when Henry VIII first lays eyes upon Anne Boleyn. He's been on the throne for six years and is married to Queen Catherine of Aragon. He has not yet mentioned divorce to her, but his council members are aware of his desire to do so. Henry has decided not to go to war with France, but instead he wants build an alliance with them to fight against the Emperor of Rome. If you have not watched the series, but love medieval games or are somewhat aware of the history of the Tudor era, you are more than welcome to join us! We have also made a few changes to give you more creative freedom as a writer. Some of these changes include allowing/changing choice of pbs in the show, and first name changes unless otherwise noted. We also openly accept original characters! We plan on playing this out and lasting quite a while, so please plan on being a committed member. Thank you for stopping by. We hope to see you in court soon!
If you need a list of historical characters or names to inspire you, please visit the references page. Please remember you can change the pb of any character you'd like as long as their icons can look remotely historical. If they don't have any historical icons you can use close up icons (yes, we don't hate). Everyone is also entitled to a first name change to make things feel more original. In hindsight we're following history more than the show and making it our own. You are not restricted to season one characters, but if you are going to hold or join as someone who comes later in the series please be aware that they will be mere citizens and hold no noble titles until the King says otherwise or they are noted as such on the site.

In 2010, the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office of the Ministry of Magic finally granted permission for the next wave of muggle electronics -- the television -- to be studied and modified with magic. Ten years later, there was a telly in the home of every witch and wizard with programming ranging from goblin talk shows to galleon game shows to dramas, comedies, music videos, and even movies. More recently, 2021 saw the advent of reality shows, like The Fashion Show and Love Potion No. 9.
Get Real! was conceived by Maximus Trimble and Rhonda Roads as a way to appeal to the teenage demographic as well as pull in an older crowd on the strength of nostalgia. It's a reality TV show all about the life of the "average" Hogwarts student and the drama, laughs, and loves that blossom between them.
Season 1 begins filming this school year. By proxy of returning to school this year all students and parents have given their permission to be featured and/or mentioned on the programme. And if certain liberties happen to be taken with the presentation of the footage, well... that's just show business!
* * *
Prescripted is a social next gen game based on the premise "what if a reality show were being filmed at Hogwarts?" It's The Office meets Harry Potter. Cameras and microphones are not allowed in the bathrooms, locker rooms, or any of the dormitories, but anywhere else on the school grounds is fair game. Just because you can't see them doesn't mean the cameras aren't rolling... |
