Chicago. The third largest city in America. An ideal Midwestern city, on the outset. On the inside its much more complex. Something deep. An animal, an urban machine breathing with its own mind body and soul, its spirit lingering on and grappling onto its inhabitants choking the life out of them. Infusing them with new life. An urban metropolis full of wonders, sights and sounds. Blaring jazz trumpets drowned out by loud subways and the roaring engines of garbage trucks, the masses moving under the shadow of gigantic industrial buildings over-looking the city like Greek Gods admiring their sentient creations. Yes, friends. this is life. This is the city. The soul of a city. Its beating mechanical concrete heart.
Whether you call it the Chi, Chi-town. Chi-City, Chicago land, The Second City, or The City Of The Big Shoulders, one thing you can't deny is its influence and power in the world. One of the most large and thriving, vibrant cities in the good ole' U.S. of A. A beacon for commerce, entertainment, industry, economic expansion, politics and culture. It is all of these, and more. A multicultural melting pot, an entertainment playground and an industry juggernaut seemingly unstoppable by all accounts attracting scores of newcomers to its shores year after year. Chicago is life, electricity pulsating through the streets.
Internal demons manifest in all of us, whether we try to walk the righteous path or bury ourselves in sin. This isn't an urban jungle. It's a Concrete Labyrinth. Drug deals get made, and lives get put in the balance. The daily grind of bodies filling every medical center in the city pushes its weight on the minds and hearts of every last 'healer' the city has left. Labor Unions and Newspapers straddle with changing times, the loss of promised dreams and the birth of a new age.
All everyday reality. The thing is: how do you stop the monster in your life? You fight. You push through. You give all your blood sweat and tears and push yourself beyond the limit...till there's nothing left...Except you and the world.
Whether you're a politician, a drug dealer, a crime boss, a dock worker, a nurse, a journalist, a reporter or a schoolteacher....we all make sacrifices, and we all have to choose our path wisely. We're all running our own 'hustle' in life. Life's the biggest game of all. The question is....how hard will you push your hustle?
The game goes by different rules, but the intention, and the end result, is the same. You fall, or you stand up on top. Question is, will you be willing to play the game...without any rules? This is a story of corruption, greed, faith, identity, strength, madness, revenge, success, failure, lust, love, hate, justice, fear and glory. Welcome to the true American city. Welcome to the game. Either you win...or you lose.

 Astoria, Oregon Population 2,213. It is the number one cloudiest city in the United States. The city has a total area of 10.6 square mile radius. It's coastline borders the ocean. It has beaches, boardwalks, ports and at one point in history was one of the most popular spots for people who made their living off of fishing and whaling. The town is surrounded by vast amounts of trees, competing with towns in Washington and California as the logging capital of the country. Hunting is also a popular passtime, since there are many rivers that run through Astoria's dense forests. At first glance, this town seems like you're average no-wheres-ville, but if you look closer you'll find it has many secrets and legends. The most popular of these legends is a Native American tribe that supposedly can take form of the wolf and an opposing clan of "cold ones" forbidden to hunt and live on their land. This game revolves around this Native American legend, Astoria's high school students, college students, and their families. |

·Application ·Taken/Held PBs ·Cast ·Rules ·FAQ's ·Wanted Ads ·RPG ·OOC ·Mod Journal Imagine being the only survivor of a disease that kills every member of your family, that kills lovers, strangers, friends, nearly everyone you've ever met. You are among the lonely few to live and now you must start over in a strange new world where everything that was once safe and familiar is now strange and dangerous. Set in the present day, Survivors focuses on the world in the aftermath of a devastating virus which wipes out most of the world's population. What would we do? How would any of us cope in a brave new world where all traditional 21st Century comforts - electricity, clean running water, advanced technology - have disappeared? These are the questions faced by the bewildered but resilient group of survivors at the centre of the drama. It is an opportunity for new beginnings, but with no society, no police and no law and order, they now face terrible dangers - not just the daily struggle for food and water but also the deadly threat from other survivors. ~*~*~*~*~*~ Two groups battle to find each other; cling to the hope of finding others alive...and above all, to survive. Nowhere to hide, do you stay human and try and retain a sense of civilisation, or do you retreat into barbarism and leave your humanity behind? Choose your group, one in central London, one travelling back to the capital from North Kyme in Lincolnshire. ~*~*~*~*~*~ IMPORTANT: Please read ALL information in the Mod Journal before applying. PLEASE NOTE: Some content is not available as of yet, please keep a check for updates to information sections.

Gwydion Academy for Witches was founded in 1850 in Palm Beach, New South Wales, a Suburb of Sydney Australia. It was established by Professor Miriam Gwydion as a sister school to all boy's school Chester's Academy for Wizards. Gwydion Academy welcome witches of all backgrounds. It provides a safe environment for young girls. Students are encouraged to stay on track in their studies, while still experiencing unique opportunities in extracurricular activities, and developing learning, leadership and problem solving skills important for their future endeavors. The curriculum has been set by the Australian Ministry for Magic in order to prepare girls for their future. We have capable staff that are always there to provide the help students need. At Gwydion Academy for Witches, our women will reach new potential and prepare for a bright future. Gwydion has almost made attempts to modernize the school to accommodate the lifestyles of today. There have been renovations to the school with a more modern architecture. The magic in the school has been altered to allow Muggle Electrical Devices to work such as: computer, CD players, MP3 players, TVs and cellphones. There is even a computer lab in the school with working internet, near the library. This is an all girl, femme-slash friendly social game based in Australia. The game is set in the present year, and is far away from all the conflicts in England. Everything is relativity peaceful in the World.

The Gods have been given a second chance: Prove that they can rule over a city without destroying everything they come into contact with, without bringing forth chaos or using its residence as playthings, and they will be given back their thrones, their duties, their places on earth, in the sea and underneath it all. After thousands of year spent suffering in Tartarus, they are ready to redeem themselves. They want to go home. They won’t make the same mistakes with these people, as they did with Helen and Paris, with Semele and countless others. They can not afford it. They were not meant for eternal imprisonment. You were minding your own business, going about everyday life in your world, when suddenly, they pluck you away without warning. You’re human and you’ve never raised a hand against anybody. You’re a vampire and you’ve spent the last century in mourning. You’re an alien. You’re a superhero. You don’t know what you are and it doesn’t matter. Because they still want you and they’ve taken you. Gaia and Prometheus have stolen you away and they’ve dropped you into a city that has everything. There is no way out. And the Gods weren’t expecting people like you. | |

Seven half-bloods shall answer the call. To storm or fire, the world must fall. An oath to keep with a final breath. And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death. It's been two years since the latest Great Prophecy was given by the newly appointed Oracle of Delphi and since then, Percy Jackson and his friends have kept busy. Grover Underwood and the other Satyr seekers have discovered and safely transported countless new demigod children to Camp Half-Blood; Annabeth Chase has overseen the reconstruction of Olympus and many of the new cabins for minor gods at Camp; and Percy has stayed on as a Camp counselor in between quests to slay monsters and protect the world. But in just two short years, it would appear the Greek gods have forgotten the oaths they swore to Percy on the River Styx: some Campers have reached their thirteenth birthdays without being claimed by their god-parents. Even more troubling still, Percy and several other demigod heroes have encountered strange monsters, unlike anything in the Greek myths, in their travels and adventures. And while Apollo and Camp directors Chiron and Dionysus assure the young demigods that the latest Great Prophecy could take a generations to unfold, something is clearly stirring in the world of myth and magic-- something that could prove to disturb the peace among the gods and threaten the world once more. CAMP HALF-BLOOD is a Percy Jackson & The Olympians game that takes place after the events of The Last Olympian. You do not need to have read the series to apply as we accept both canon and original characters (but gameplay will reveal spoilers for those who have not read the books).
