Name of the Game: Ainsworth University
Format: Journals & Threads
Genre: Original/University-based
Contact info: Mod contact post
Premise Summary: Welcome to Ainsworth University, home to the lives, education, drama, and scandals of Perthshire's elite. At Ainsworth, legacy and lineage is the best currency; bank accounts and natural smarts manage only a close second. For most of Ainsworth’s students, everything may be diamonds, silk and champagne all year around but amidst the porcelain plates and tailor-made suits there is a downside: super successful parents expect the most and best from their offspring and when it comes to education, it’s always the top 5 ranks with Latin mottos and century-old-histories sprinkled with Ivy prestige.

Do you have what it takes to be the rich and glamorous?

Off in an island of their own are the Ruby District girls, self-policed prostitutes who could kill you in a heartbeat. Then, there's the Force - the police, most of them corrupt, some of them trying to fight a rotten system that's eating away at them and at the innocent. As if this wasn't enough, now there seems to be a serial killer spreading terror about town. The question is, who are you loyal to, who do you fight for, and will you survive?

Contact info: wake.mods@gmail.com or The Wake
Premise Summary: When the T67 virus first gained media attention, it was already too late. Half of the world's population had already contracted the virus, the origin unknown. In a society where people could travel the world in mere hours, the virus spared no nation, no peoples.

Two months after the first newscast, only one percent of the world's population was still alive. Of those people, there are some who are infected, the unlucky souls with partial immunity that guarantees their death is slow and painful. Then, there are the people who are perfectly healthy. Some of these people are also partially immune, but haven't been in contact with anyone afflicted. Some are simply completely immune.

Of the survivors, there are two schools of thought. The Insiders believe they were chosen to be saved for a reason, and are trying to start a new society, clean of the sins of the old one. The Outsiders think this was all just chance, and that they ought to be finding more survivors and possibly a cure for those infected.
