| concept The connection with magic has long been since a "new" concept. There was once a time when the world accepted magic, and the people who wielded it's power, embracing them completely. These unique individuals could raise the dead, create thunderstorms, even predict the future. But, as time went on and new concepts arose, what was once allowed and accepted ways of living life were now pressed to change. The way the old ways were viewed became twisted, turning what had been a part of life into unspeakable evil in the eyes of the world. Those who could aid with magic's power became the victims of various styles of execution and torture, before being sentenced to damnation. In the late 1400s, the fanatical attitude of the church took a turn for the worst. These acts were enough to shatter the willingness of those few families hiding in the hostile lands. To stay out of harm, they packed their things and left. Their destination? Across the Atlantic ocean. With teleporting help from the Conjurer family, they managed to settle down and live in peace for the better part of two hundred years. They were well liked by the local natives, bringing them what technological advances that Europe as well as the aid that their magical powers could bring, also enhancing the magical gifts the natives harnessed themselves. Among these primitive people, they were viewed as deities. It wasn't until the landing of the settlers that we have all been so familiarized to in our school text books, that the new ways and the old clashed again. The families were forced to blend back into society, resorting to hiding in plain sight. But in 1692, the Salem witch hunts began. A Puritan was unfortunate enough to catch a glimpse of a member of the Necromancer family, standing in the cemetery, well after the imposed curfew. All he could describe was the shape of a 'black man in the forest'. Thus, the trials began, after the simple minded zealots believed that the 'black man' had been the devil himself. The negative attitude drove a young female member of the Divination family to wish misfortune on the misguided families of Parris and Williams. Elizabeth and Abigail began having fits, yelling and screaming about things unseen. The result of this simple act of vengeance brought about the deaths of so many more. It was then that strict rules were placed upon the families. The elders of the magical families however, to prevent more confrontation, decided to move the families far west to a place called California, before the gold rush. Back to a place of peace and serenity, it would then be an additional hundred or so years before others came upon them, making running an option no longer. It was time to conform, to blend in with the ever spreading population of 'regular' people. Some of the families took to their own separate ways, moving off to different parts of the country, forming their own rules within their families, ignoring the code which had existed for more than half a good part of a thousand years. You should read the rest! bottom line If you're looking for a fun, exciting new game with endless potential, Augury is the game for you.

Welcome to Reading. It's a place where the sun is always shining, and people always have a place to be. Where people dress up to leave the house, and always have something interesting to talk about. Where nursery rhymes aren't just in books, it's where they are alive. It's where you can find Humpty Dumpty sitting on a wall, and an old lady who lives in a shoe. If one could step into the world of fiction, you'd find yourself in Reading. Life here can be magical and terrible all at once. Reality in Reading is not always realistic. And things are not always as they seem.
Underneath the sunny exterior lies a much darker Reading. The only thing bigger than the rhymes themselves, are the crimes that seem to surround them.

The Royal Family of Great Britain has a secret. For the past 400 years, the throne has been held by wizards who are oath and treaty bound to keep their magic a secret. While muggles fall under the parliamentary rule and see the monarchy as a symbol of their country, wizards fall under the exclusive rule of King Lucius I. The king has only one heir, and if Prince Draco does not marry and produce a son, the crown could leave the bloodline and pass to the Longbottoms, a family who stands for everything the Malfoys do not. Nobles are choosing sides, and the ever witch in Britain has hopes of being the future queen. But there is an even greater secret Since 1944, all muggle borns have had a binding spell cast on them at birth. The public thinks this spell keeps them from using their magic until they attend Hogwarts however, only a few select people know the truth: it restricts muggle borns' magic for life. The fact muggle born magic is weaker to keep the Monarchy's ideals in power, but there are rumblings of equality and wanting to move to a more muggle like system in the air. If this secret is discovered, it will change everything.

 magic_school  magic_mods magic_oocMagic School is a Charmed/Harry Potter CrossOver game set in 2025. |
What if the Salem Witches' Institute mentioned in Harry Potter happens to be the very same Magic School that has a door directly into the Halliwell Manor? Perhaps centuries ago the Ministry of Magic orchestrated a separation of Church and State that excluded the Elders and WhiteLighters from interfering with European witchcraft. But their reach did not extend to the American colonies where true magic was stifled and only brought into the light in recent generations thanks to the tireless work of WhiteLighters. Now, in 2025, after two great battles have been won against Voldemort and the Ultimate Power, things have changed. Both Hogwarts and Salem Institute are open again. But when the peace of both sides is threatened again, Potters and Halliwells will have to unite wizards and witches everywhere under a common cause. |

It started with Pixar. While Woody felt himself being replaced by a shiny, new Rocketman, the two dimensional cartoon world saw the beginning of what would be their end. Some cartoons had already slipped into a comfortable retirement, but most saw the death of their own genre as the three dimensional world took over. But, instead of being erased from pop culture history, the old world entered the new. Broke through it, in fact. Roger Rabbit was the first to leave Toontown. He had always been known for having one foot in the door and one out, but better for being completely obsolete as soon as his movie ended. One morning he woke up in the real life body of Roger Baxter, an up and coming television star. The two Rogers were forced to make sense of each other, exist in the same body and help other cartoons that were jumping off the page into the streets of Los Angeles. This is Erased. A game about your childhood and how it just can't seem to slip away. |

Two brothers set out to stop the apocalypse, supposedly with some help from on high. The only problem was, things weren't all they seemed. Thanks to a major betrayal on behalf of the angels, Sam and Dean failed, breaking the sixty-six seals and setting Lucifer free to unleash hell on earth. The hunters, a dying breed, banded together to try and stop Lucifer, but the effort was a wasted one. He was too strong for them. The battle between good and evil rages on even now, almost thirty years later, with the side of good hanging on by a thread. The human race is teetering on the brink of extinction, but there are those who still fight to bring Lucifer down and restore Earth to its former glory. | |

People get lost in the pages of books all the time, whisked away into worlds of imagination created by talented authors. People leave the real world behind for just a little bit as they sink into the written word. Couldn't it go both ways? What if while you're reading about the characters in the book; they are reading you? Perhaps you remember it; that quaint little book shop, it has big bay windows which always displays some book of interest to those special few, beckoning them to pause in their busy life, step inside and maybe look just a little closer. The Bookstores motto is "Life is a series of Open Books", it's shelves are packed with books of every kind, thick, thin, small, tall and wide. Not just books, anything that contains a story, or even just a page. Everything is packed; racks, shelves, and sometimes just stacked on the floor or available counter-space, all in a seeming disarray with no real organized system. Some fire hazard surely. You never really caught the name of the place, something just drew you through the shelves and racks until you found some particular piece of literature... Perhaps you took it to the cashier, some elderly type who smiled kindly and rung up your purchase, placing it in a simple blue bag with little more than a passing 'Good choice', perhaps you tucked it into your jacket and slinked out the door unwilling to meet the shopkeepers eye, whatever the circumstance, you somehow managed to aquire something to read. Perhaps you never went to the shop at all.. maybe your parents, or grandparents did and you simply found the book and receipt years later. Maybe you read it right away, maybe you tucked it into your bedside drawer and forgot about it for months, maybe you are sorting out the attic and run across the book, either way, sooner or later; you find yourself opening the pages and begin to read. But this book it's special, the more you read, the further into the story you go, until you're finished reading it's all you can dream about, more and more as you read you feel yourself drawn toward a particular Persona. More and more you recognize things in your own life that could parallel that Persona, you see yourself as that Persona, you dream of their life, perhaps daydream it, who knows. Whether you read the book once, or a thousand times, each time it's the same, drawing you in, haunting you. It's after the first time that you finish that maybe you begin to notice something, like something about you has changed, something is just a little different. Suddenly there is a talent or skill you didn't know you had before, suddenly there is an awareness of others like yourself who were drawn into stories only to find that when they finished they had changed in some little special way. Perhaps it's good, perhaps it's bad, what you do from here? is your choice. The quaint bookstore with its big bay windows if you try to go back... is gone. | |

my friend and i were thinking about making a game, based on the transfer of werewolves to domestic canines.
we were planning to explore dog packs, city life, and even touch base on the pound, maybe even introduce actual characters to be dog snatchers, all in all for a really fun, kiddy, happy times, enjoyable rp experience!
generally, packs and stuff, we were thinking of setting maybe one or two default packs, and perhaps let people either evolve from those, or go solo, or even make one up!
so yes, animal lovers. anyone with an ambition to play a foxy blonde that becomes a chihuahua, or a handsome stud that becomes a bulldog? lol.
let me know, please?

"….Voldemort's powerful now. You don't know who his supporters are, you don't know who's working for him and who isn't; you know he can control people so that they do terrible things without being able stop themselves. You're scared for yourself, and your family, and your friends. Every week, news comes of more deaths, more disappearances, more torturing … The Ministry of Magic's in disarray, they don't know what to do, they're trying to keep everything hidden from the Muggles, but meanwhile, Muggles are dying too. Terror everywhere … panic … confusion …" Across Europe the Wizarding Community lies in fear. Voldemort and his followers are on the rise, leaving behind a reign of terror in their wake. As his numbers increase, Wizards begins to grow more uneasy, increasingly choosing to fall prey to his Empire, out of fear, unwilling to stand up and fight. In spite of the increasing danger, a small group of vigilante Wizards have begun a rebellion, daring to do what the Ministry fears to do; fight. The Order of the Phoenix is slowly growing into a force to be reckoned with, threatening not only Voldemort, but the Ministry itself. Change is on the brink for the students of Hogwarts. No longer will they be safe behind the confines of the castle, unaware to the real dangers of the world. They will soon be forced to make their own loyalties known; a decision that will affect not only the rest of their lives, but the entire Wizarding World. Amongst the darkness, these students are potentially the light needed to give the Order the man power to take on Voldemort’s forces. As both sides fight to gain support, one question lies: which side do you choose? | ||

It was always meant to end this way. Lord Voldemort or Harry Potter, one would have to destroy the other. In the year 1998 Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, fulfilled his destiny and destroyed Lord Voldemort. The battle was fierce and the losses were great but in the end, the reign of Lord Voldemort was finally over. The battle was over and it was time to move on. Hogwarts was rebuilt, the class of 1998 spent the summer catching up on the classes that they had missed while beginning training in their future jobs. The new Minister of Magic, a half-blood wizard, put strict laws in effect to allow for the capture of Death Eaters and their supporters. Things were quiet, things were peaceful. The Golden Age, some were beginning to call it. Free from persecution, wizards of impure blood were taking places of honor and respect . The trio finally begain to relax and it seemed as if things were finally well. Little did they know that there was darkness brewing once more. Rodolphus Lestrange, driven mad from grief, had taken on a protégé. An intelligent and ambitious former Ravenclaw Aiden Chambers. A Call for Freedom This was the title of the opinion piece that Aiden submitted to the Prophet. The passionate article spoke of the shift in the muggle world, that it was no longer quite so taboo to be a so -called witch. It served it purpose, raising all the appropriate eyebrows. Could it be done? Could they reveal themselves to the muggle world without mass hysteria? Aiden was brought in as one of the Minister’s top advisors as the Ministry tentatively began to creep towards revealing themselves . Once again the wizarding world was divided, the people who supported the change and the people who thought it was dangerous. Order members began to come forward in support of it, not realizing that while they were supporting it, former Death Eaters were sending out feelers, gathering a new and more terrifying army. |
