2108, the world. Two hundred years from bloody wars, social strife and human suffering, the world is no longer a separation of entities. Countries with borders do not exist and ethnic divisions no longer apply; immigration and socialism have made the world a virtual paradise—equality for all, unlimited natural resources since man’s ascension to the stars—it is, without a doubt, peace on earth. 2208, the future. It is not the future of Orwell’s 1984 or even Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451; there is no Big Brother who watches a quaking population tirelessly through devices in building’s walls or human eyes themselves, there are no book-censoring firemen. The government does not oppress the people, but instead it is the people who oppress the government. And it is all done in a single city. China, once an economic powerhouse and a sleeping dragon destined one day to awaken is now home to the only political center in the world. The Forbidden City, once the throne of dynastic emperors now houses The Imperial Family, its royal court, and all the governing heads required to serve the people. Selected nearly one hundred years ago through genetic technology and raised by advanced social systems, the first emperor was installed in The City as a servant of the people. His first wife, chosen in a similar manner, was placed beside him as empress, and the city was filled with people who would serve the world as the population demanded. All of the emperor’s children are raised strictly with the beliefs of the world community, which consists of a mixture of tradition and forward thinking that serves the chosen version of utopia best. When it is time to choose a new leader—whether or not the current emperor has died, abdicated, or simply lost the Mandate of Heaven—one is selected from the Emperor’s children based on genetic, emotional, and social screening. Of course, The Forbidden City is perhaps the one place in the universe that is home to all of humanity’s strife. And that is its destiny. --- The City is a futuristic royalty roleplay that centers on the lives of those within China’s Forbidden City. Though they may be the people with the most power within its walls and the least outside, each is far from perfect and each has no escape but through death, exile, or by permission of the emperor. Now with a premade list of the royal family here! Trapped by a world that still has a need for the illusion of leaders, what would you do to keep life from becoming stagnant? siddhartha for all your information needs! Game opened recently! We still need one more member of the Imperial family (storylines guaranteed) as well as nobles and warriors alike! The first major plot arc has just gotten underway! Also looking to fill the line of 'The Sperm Donor' specifically. |
If everyone knew 1984 was when everything was going to happen, why was no one prepared? |
Rules ♥ Characters ♥ PBs ♥ Apply It is September of 2001. It has been just past two years since Harry Potter defeated Lord Voldemort. Life has slowly begun to return to normal. Witches and wizards everywhere no longer have to look over their shoulders constantly. It's time to focus on careers, relationships, and just moving on in general. AMORTENTIA? Something strange begins to brew in the wizarding community. People suddenly begin to get sick, reporting symptoms that include a combination of fever or chills, slight hair loss, bright pink spots, itching, and hallucinations. What starts as a small outbreak begins to spread quickly throughout various towns and even Hogwarts, baffling Healers. If untreated, the disease can be fatal. These conditions have no known catalyst and, even more frightening, no known cure. It is highly contagious. COMING SOON? After some time it will be discovered that the horrific new disease is linked with the love potion Amortentia, and thus referred to as the "Love Plague." Treatment will be developed to hold the disease at bay, but no cure is in sight. Who has unleashed this diabolical weapon upon the wizarding community? Is there any hope to stop this twisted plot? The answers to these questions lie in the brave and noble witches and wizards who must now stand up to solve this mystery and will sacrifice all in the name of the peace Harry Potter brought them... DESPERATELY SEEKING: MALES, HUFFLPUFFS, Draco Malfoy, Seamus Finnigan, Neville Longbottom, Jack Sloper, Terry Boot, Mandy Brocklehurst, Lavender Brown, Vaisey, Urquhart, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Montgomery twins, Ernie Macmillan, Dean Thomas, Patil twins, Angelina Johnson, etc. Apply today! |

information & community Charles Xavier was a talented man. At sixteen he entered college, achieving a degree in biology in 2 years and then further ones in biophysics and genetics. He was also a telepath of formidable skill and one of the world's foremost experts on the strain of mutantancy in humans, also known as the metagene. But most importantly, Xavier was a man of vision. One who thought of the future. And so he approached millionaire Oliver Queen - after letting slip that his telepathy made him privy to his secret life as the Green Arrow - with a proposal. A school, built specifically to teach the next generations of saviors and champions, kept a secret under the guise of an elite prep academy. Each student carefully selected and recruited. There the students would learn how to handle their emerging powers and skills and how to use them to help humanity, all while getting a world class education in a safe environment taught by people who understood how important this school was. Oliver quickly saw the merit in this idea and together they began to build what would become Paragon Academy. That was 10 years ago. The school growing from a dream into a reality, with its former students rising to greatness, some even taking on the task of teaching the next batch of students. And a new first semester is just about to start, complete with new recruits, new classes and new problems. Opening October 3 |
