beverlyparkmodAsphodel: Powdered root of asphodel is used in the Draught of Living Death. This plant is traditionally associated with the afterlife and the underworld. We are living in a world of uncertainty now. Before, the only worries we truly had were whether or not we would pass our examinations or if the marauders were the ones responsible for turning everyone's hair a nice shade of lilac. But times are changing and things are getting darker out in the real world. A growing army is fast approaching; friends and family members are disappearing more often and there are a growing number of events happening that can no longer be explained easily. All done by he who dare calls himself Lord. Asphodel is a game focused almost entirely on the war of the late 1970s that threw the entire wizarding world into chaos. With darkening themes and realistic events, it won't be for those who are faint at heart and can't bear to sit back and watch our most beloved characters thrown into the lion's den. Wanted Characters: Remus Lupin, Severus Snape, Bellatrix Lestrange, Rabastan Lestrange, Mary MacDonald, Evan Rosier, Marlene McKinnon Lucius Malfoy, Gideon and Fabian Prewett, Molly and Arthur Weasley...basically, all characters are up for grabs! |
 ANOMALOUS Game History x Rules x FAQ x App x Held x Cast x Contact/F-Button Started in July, Anomalous was a long running game on GJ which, due to the fact of our dedicated previous members, it was petitioned to be brought back from the dead.. PREMISE –adjective 1. deviating from or inconsistent with the common order, form, or rule; irregular; abnormal: Advanced forms of life may be anomalous in the universe. 2. not fitting into a common or familiar type, classification, or pattern; unusual. Welcome to a world influenced by power. There are no superhuman heroes, no dastardly villains here. You may be used to hearing stories of people joining secret teams and forming legions, flying around on planes, but this is not a comic book. This is a generation of gifted humans who, in the past year, have lost their once normal lives. Some of these "mutations" were worse than others, but together they all are united in the fact that their lives will never be the same again. People began to notice things wrong with themselves. Wounds would heal faster, massive headaches would ensue, and suddenly they were in a different room. A man prayed to God that the next time he opened his eyes, his glance wouldn't destroy whatever fell within his gaze. When the American government found out about these "super beings", one thing stood in mutual agreement; they were a threat. Like all threats, they must be contained and exposed of. The general public, perpetually afraid of the different and strange, spawned hate crimes that spread like wild fire. This evolutionary jump wasn't just isolated to the United States. All over the world, people began to realize their true potential. Forign governments are trying to recruit them to military forces, wanting nothing more than to control them. Scientists search out these special people, their intentions both good and bad. What was once considered normalcy has been corrupted. Questions with no anwers are on the tip of everyone's tongue: How, or why; are they connected? Is there a greater purpose, be it dark or light, that they must face? People noticed things wrong with themselves. Wounds would heal faster, massive headaches would ensue, and suddenly they were in a different room. A man prayed to God that the next time he opened his eyes, his glance wouldn't destroy whatever fell within his gaze. Arguments of the rights belonging to these once normal beings began the hot debate for political meetings. Should they be required to register, and if they had too strong of an ability should they be "dealt with"? Already, many of these "freaks", as some would call them, were using their powers for personal gain, and there was a concern that it would escalate. They would rob, they would cheat, and they would kill to seek vengence. Then there were those who tried to stay out of the limelight, frightened of their powers and the consequences that came with them. And there were those who found these powers as a way to gain attention, using them to save lives and get their name flashed on the evening news. There has also been more signifigant damage. An earthquake has, for the most part, destroyed Sussex, New York. In response to this disaster, a panel was formed. These individuals are now one of the driving powers behind the future of the Anomalous. Some of the memebers would see these super-powered humans destroyed, or rounded up. While others are secretly fighting to keep their own freedom. Senetor Kelly, the main force behind ostracizing the Anomalous, was wounded at his own birthday celebration. Many other people were hurt...some were killed. The blame for this "attack" was placed on this new brand of humanity. Laws were passed, to help protect the citizens of New York. The first, the Heddison Law, prohibits any use of Anomalous ability against any member of city law enforcement. The second is the Couventry Law, restricing the use of power at any group function or public event. For the last month, there has been peace. With no violent outbursts from either side, New York City is holding a collective breath. Who will make the next move? These are The Anomalous - the changed, the powerful, the revolutionized. WANTED We really want fun, exciting muns to join our game. People whom are dedicated in knowing that they're not just going to be sending in an application, and jumping off into a hiatus/limbo. As far as characters, males, as always. Our Wanda mun really wants a Pietro. I personally would like to see someone take Shadowcat, Rogue, or Husk. Perhaps start a medley of generation xers, since, Monet, Jubilee and Chamber are taken. xD I can dream big, right?We would love to see more characters whose powers haven't manifested yet and just SO MANY OTHERS. We have a lot of good characters that need to be snatched up! Request a hold RIGHT NOW!! |
 Fifteen years have passed since Westley triumphed over Prince Humperdinck. Fifteen years since Inigo extracted his revenge on Count Rugen. And since then, life has returned to normal - or as normal as it could be. Humperdinck’s search for Buttercup and Westley never ceased over the years, nor had his attempts to keep the hostility going between Florin and Guilder, and now rumor has it that Westley and Buttercup have returned - with their daughter Waverly. Could this possibly signal the beginning of another battle? Will history repeat itself? application ♦ character list ♦ contact info ♦ dropped/dropping characters friending button ♦ guidelines ♦ held/banned pbs ♦ hiatus requests RPG ♦ OOC ♦ MOD |

In a world of mutant decimation and superhero registration, Cable brought together a new X-Force team to work for his vision of a better world in ways that the X-Men, as a publicly known and registered team, can no longer operate. To keep the team undercover from the cape killers, he also recruited super-musicians, bringing together the Resistance Tour, a controversial mutant rock tour. Balancing a cover job as part of a high profile celebrity entourage and covert operations to protect mutants from those who fear and hate them is all in a day's work when you're part of a Tour de Force.
Format: Journal-Based
Canon: AU, strongly based in Marvel 616 comic Universe.
Rating: G – NC/17

hachiko, for a different sort of private line. - Plot - Rules - Character List - Played-Bys - Team Info - Apply - - Contacts (F-Lock) - Advertise (F-Lock) - It seems Torchwood Four, headed by one Major Charlie Sheppard, had a minor malfunction involving Cardiff's rift. In fact, Torchwood Four is located right near Torchwood Three, or at least it was until it and its team got pulled into another universe. Which is where Lucian Devereaux comes in. It seems that he got a hold of a Time Agent's vortex manipulator in the far future and has been using it at his own pleasure. Well, until it backfired and he was sent to the present and made the rift flux, sucking Torchwood Four into it. Luckily, Major Sheppard wasn't there at the time. Now as for Lucian, he'd been jumping through time randomly and unwillingly as he tried to fix the vortex manipulator. During this time he realized that he'd jump from the present in Cardiff to some different point in time and then back. Along the way, he managed to bring back people with him who shouldn't be during that time, and that caused the rift to go haywire, also bringing people to the present that shouldn't be there: those that are dead, those who aren't born yet, and those in other dimensions. And so, Torchwood realized they needed to work extra hard to try and stop this and thus re-established Torchwood Four, somehow convincing Charlie to head it once more. And that is where we begin... Ever at the ready is a Torchwood/Doctor Who RP that allows for any character from either series (old and new) to be incorporated, as well as original characters! It takes place around the start of season two. We've only just started and we're looking for a majority of the canon cast still, including The Doctor (any of them) and most of Torchwood Three. We're also looking for bad guys and aliens to be hunted down, as well as people to fill up the other Torchwood Teams. If you think you're ready, then we're ready to have you join the team! We're Currently Looking for: CAPTAIN JACK HARKNESS, GWEN, OWEN, TOSHIKO, people for the Torchwood Teams, Civilians, Aliens, Bad Guys, other Canon characters and more! |
New York City. Some come make it big, some live their lives without a care, and some are barely scraping by, but all of their lives intermingle in one way or another. Whether it's just passing each other on the street or sitting in a waiting room next to one another or even strolling through Central Park, all of their lives are woven together somehow. It is possible for a Manhattan socialite to encounter grocery store clerk from the Bronx and even for them to find some spark of common interest between them- opposites do attract. So, join us and add to our mixture, because we all know that variety is the spice of life and everybody loves New York.

What if the Prophecy that made Harry Potter the 'Boy who lived' hadn't been given to the Dark Lord? What if a falsified Prophecy had been passed to him instead?
The year is 1995, When Harry, Ron and Hermione return to Hogwarts. A few changes have been made to the staff over the summer, the most noticeable being the new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor; A Mr. Tom Marvolo Riddle. His new post is widely questioned by the wizarding world; The man has been convicted of murders throughout the seventies, why would Dumbledore hire him to teach young children? Dumbledore simply plays it off saying that he has applied "twice before". That he has not been able to be convicted of anything. Mr. Riddle has, after all, been studying abroad since the 1980's, and is very knowledgeable on his subject.
Most Wanted: Luna Lovegood, Ron Weasley, Percy Weasley, Remus Lupin, James Potter, Cho Chang, Lucius Malfoy, Peter Pettigrew, Bellatrix Lestrange, Slytherins and Death Eaters!
GAME OPENS FEBRUARY 1ST Game | OOC | Mod Account Remus Lupin, Ron Weasley, James Potter, Rolf Scamander, Draco Malfoy, Andromeda Tonks, Sirius Black, Regular Black, Tom Riddle, Gryffindors, Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, Slytherins, Weasleys, Longbottoms, Lestranges... etc. There are plenty of characters available!! |
 | a canon post-deathly hallows rpg THE ADVENTURE BEGINS FEBRUARY 1ST It is the year 2000, just two years after the final battle at Hogwarts. The wizarding world is still rebuilding from the fall of Lord Voldemort's reign, and although many believed they would finally have peace at last, it is not to be. Death Eaters have been able to lie, cheat, and bribe their way out of being jailed in Azkaban - and some select few have reorganized in secret to continue the Dark Lord's goal. They, however, did not agree with Lord Voldemort's ways; accepting anyone less than a pureblood was hypocrisy against their cause. Not wanting their work to be confused with Voldemort's old followers, they have given themselves a new name, in honour of the Dark Lord's original cause - the Walpurgis Knights. The Knights have worked their way into the Ministry of Magic, slowly taking over until finally controlling the Minister of Magic himself from behind the scenes, manipulating him to their will. But not all was going according to their plans. Just as mysteriously as magical powers appeared in this world, so too was it beginning to vanish. Wandless magic was the first to go, and is now completely unheard of. Soon after, powerful spells began failing, but no one had thought anything of it at the beginning - powerful spells were often complicated, and therefor did not always succeed. It was after this that more severe cases began to be noticed - although more and more cases were recorded beforehand, since March of 1999, there have been no children born with magical powers, regardless of blood status. It has been discovered, however, that spells and items created with ancient magic seem to have preserved themselves, and now the race has begun to obtain these artifacts to either save the wizarding world... or destroy it. Harry Potter ♣ Hermione Granger ♣ Blaise Zabini Ministry Workers ♣ Walpurgis Knights The Macmillan Family ♣ More adults! |
