 - characters - casted - application - In 1975, as Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs (better known as the Marauders, at least to themselves) enter their 5th year at Hogwarts, the wizarding world as they know it is slowly changing. Like the first touch of cool rain, dark whisperings are beginning to be heard among wizards, particularly those of the oldest pureblooded families. Something is coming - and as it arrives, the whispers will rise to voices, and eventually all wizards of the world will hear the echoes of screams. Dark Voices follows the students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as they learn to adapt to a changing world. Making friends, forming alliances, standing for what they believe in, and all hoping that they will be left standing in the end. A new game with over 30 characters, Dark Voices is looking for some more Order members to balance out the Death Eaters, and more female Hogwarts students, as there are a lot more boys right now! Hogwarts professors are also welcome. Some character that we'd appreciate are: Hestia Jones, Dorcas Meadows, Emmeline Vance, Benjy Fenwick, Andromeda Black, Ted Tonks, Theodore Nott...... Not to mention anyone else you can think of! UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT darkvoices - voicemods - voicesooc - voicenotes |

So it begins  You came across it, perhaps at a library or a bookshop. Maybe a street corner vendor pawned it off on you or you found it poking out the trash in a back alley. However you came across it, it finally found you. Just the book you always needed. It was a cute book. All pink flowers and rainbows. Joyous and warm. Just the book you always wanted. It was a dark book. Black leather and silver buckles to strap it shut. It exuded mystery and terror. Just the book for you. Your diary is unique to you. You're drawn to it's blank pages yearning to be filled up with the days of your life. But you're more than just drawn to the diary. The pages flip as if of their own accord and there is a page with a picture, moving as if it were it's own tiny film. You're intrigued. And then you're falling. It feels like you fall forever, through stars and clouds and darkness and then you can see nothing because you blank out. You find yourself on the docks of a strange island. A place you've never seen before, and it's silent except for the wind whistling in your ears and the lap of waves on slippery rocks. Perhaps in the distance you see a far-off ship on the horizon, but otherwise you are alone and stranded, diary in hand. You have come to Accardi. You are here to stay. |

The rumors - dismissed as myths, urban legend – had circulated for years. There was a kid from Spokane who could melt metal with a touch, someone's cousin's neighbor's aunt had gone to school with a girl with blue skin… Everyone had heard about the mutants but no-one much took the notion of them seriously; they were a boogy man story kids told at camp, nothing more.
It all changed in September of 1989 when a noted geneticist publicly revealed the discovery of something called the 'x-gene', a characteristic shared by certain prison inmates whose crimes had never been completely explicable. One of these, Manuel Alfonzo Rodrigo de la Rocha, had long since been speculated to have some empathic ability. The news had gone public on the 17th.
De la Rocha was dead by the 20th.
The 'outing' of the mutants caused immediate wide-scale paranoia, periods of quiet marked by outbursts of violence, neighbor turning on neighbor, people who looked even a little different from the norm getting accused of all kinds of things. There were beatings, there were hate campaigns and, though rarer, there were lynchings. As things got worse two very old friends – Erik Lehnsherr and Charles Xavier – decided to make a stand. Both found their way into government – Erik in San Francisco, ultimately taking the mayoral post, and Charles getting into Homeland Security. For a decade they quietly sought out other mutants, working behind the scenes to get enough of them into position so that, should the time come, they'd be ready.
The election of November 2000 signaled the time was coming and, as the government vetoed one mutant-protection law after another, ratifying one mutant control law after another, Charles and Erik made the final preparations. Charles would be the silent partner, officially and publicly opposed to a plan he'd helped action, and Erik would be the face of the movement.
The movement that on July 4th 2003, using a team of just fifty, used Erik's position, Charles' money and a whole group of people's gifts to take complete and total control of California. The sealed the borders, took over the state government computers and locked down, spilling as little blood as possible as they forcibly evicted the human population, letting only 2% remain and even then only after the team – which would come to be known as The Brotherhood of X-Men – had it's telepaths check them over.
It took time for the US to accept that the situation wasn't going to change – each move they made on California was met by a swift and devastating counter attack, all clearly pre-planned well ahead of time. Officially, legally, the state is still one of the fifty but the US provides it with no goods, services or anything else for that matter and receives nothing in return. While the situation is officially unresolved most now choose to quietly ignore it, happy to let the mutants get on with their lives so long as they're getting on with them somewhere else.

Present day United States of America seems completely normal; no disturbances, no terrorist attacks, nothing. But something is rotten in the state of New York. It wasn't too long after Sailor Moon's death that a new negative energy began collecting power, biding its time before it could spring out and hold the merciless universe within its clutches. And with no sailor senshi or shitennou to stop it, what was standing in its way? Though not strong enough to enact its plan just yet, The Darkness took root in busy New York City, quickly feeding off of energy from the millions of citizens and tourists who walked the streets everyday, completely unsuspecting. However, this new negative energy isn't going unnoticed by everyone...as The Darkness settled itself into the city, the sailor crystals and seeds that Usagi had sent to the future are realizing that the universe is in danger and are thus beginning to reawaken their owners. And much as she had predicted, the good guys aren't the only ones reawakening. Being beckoned forward by The Darkness, the seeds and crystals within former villains are starting to reawaken too. Not only that, but entirely new villains are being recruited by this new enemy, only making The Darkness's army that much stronger; possibly even stronger than Usagi had anticipated. Something is terribly wrong within New York City and a fight for the universe is about to ensue. |
