baitandbleed crackandbleed oocandbleed The year is 1980 and Albus Dumbledore is dead. While the nation reels from the Headmaster's mysterious demise, propaganda and guerilla violence flourish. Having ridden the coattails of this aura of fear, Bartemius Crouch, Sr. has risen to power, widely supported and completely unchecked; slowly he has transformed the Ministry of Magic into an Orwellian regime. Now nothing but a Dark Lord with approval ratings, Crouch's fanatical pursuit of order tightens his choke hold on Britain. While innocent dissidents rot in Azkaban, Death Eaters roam free - untouchable due to their wealth and status, they feed back into the public's terror and ultimately maintain the Ministry's dictatorship. The only resistance to this madness is the Order of the Phoenix. Once an organization dedicated to spreading unfiltered knowledge and duelling only when necessary, under Alastor Moody's new leadership the Order is becoming progressively more militant, combating both Voldemort and their own government in an attempt to finally restore peace. This is an AU Marauders-era RPG with an emphasis on plot, politics and war. It follows the characters on every side of the struggle - their failures, their successes, their stories and their endings as they fight and die to uphold their own ideals. Wanted: JAMES POTTER, PETER PETTIGREW, Rita Skeeter, Frank Longbottom, Alice Longbottom, Rodolphus Lestrange, Bellatrix Lestrange, Walburga Black, Xenophilius Lovegood, Ted Tonks, Sybill Trelawney, plus many other Order Members, Death Eaters, Werewolves, and Ministry Loyalists! Opening once we find a James and a Peter!

Apartments For Rent VACANT. Renfield has spent most of his life seeking the secret to life eternal. He was briefly treated by John Seward under the suspicion that there was an organic cause for his eccentricities. He has followed rumors to Bellum Letale, and plans to spend his time in the building seeking out information to help him in his quest. VACANT. Always an inquisitive child, Little Red Riding Hood wandered away from her parents on a camping trip when she was five to go exploring. She stumbled upon a Giancoma camp, and it resulted in her parents’ death at the hands of the Mafia Family. After the incident, she was raised in the foster system that the Big Bad Wolf, Rose Red, Snow White and Bear had recently left behind. The Woodcutter, who turned a blind eye to her difficulties in the system, is someone she cannot forgive. VACANT. ADDITIONAL AVAILABLE TENANTS. Premise: There is an apartment building in New York called 'Bellum Letale.' Most people ignore its auspicious name, though they would be advised to pay more attention to its meaning. It is a strange building. Every man, woman and child in the building is a reincarnated fable, the stories told to human children for hundreds, sometimes thousands of years. Once very real, the fables began to fade as science and reason dispelled the probability of their existence. They have all been reborn in human forms, though their essence remains, waiting to be awakened at the right time, in the right place. Now is the time - Bellum Letale is the place. As their lives connect and weave together, as they follow their petty desires and long-held grudges, they are, all of them, on the brink of disaster. Their Landlord knows their every move, and the building they live in seems to have an agenda of its own. People are tortured, people die, people plot behind each other's backs and sneak around and cheat. They love, they fight, they draw blood. This is not the fairy tale you remember being told.

ABOUT OUR PLOT

MOST POSITIONS AND MAJOR CANONS STILL AVAILABLE - FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF ALIKE! ORIGINAL CHARACTERS WELCOME! The date is September 1st, 2000. It's the start of the third school year since the Battle of Hogwarts in the spring of 1998. Some of the Hogwarts staff have quit, some have retired, and others are no longer with us. Under the supervision of Headmistress McGonagall, an all-new staff has been hired, bringing a stream of young blood through the corridors of the ancient castle. New classes are being offered for the first time in hundreds of years. These students are excited to be the first in a new era of wizardry - an era no longer threatened by the dark arts or a power-hungry Dark Lord. Despite restoration and progress, there is a new threat on the horizon. Modern muggle warfare has reached an unpredictable peak. Over the summer of 2000, Durmstrang Institute was destroyed by muggle aircraft, having been magically unseen to the pilots. While the school is rebuilt, the student body of Durmstrang will be sorted into houses at Hogwarts School. These students have been taught to embrace the dark arts and uphold old wizarding traditions (such as not intermarrying with non-purebloods). The fresh new staff and both groups of students will take some time to adjust. Furthermore, the rest of wizarding England has experienced an influx of dark wizards as well (the families and teachers of the Durmstrang student body). This game will focus on Hogwarts' young new staff and how they deal with a flood of adolescent supporters of the dark arts. At all costs, any suspicious or uniquely powerful students must be supervised thoroughly. No one amongst the Ministry, Hogwarts or the Order of the Phoenix is willing to allow another rise to power by a sinister outcast.

EVEN FURTHER AWAY a next gen fairy tale experience THE STORY | CHARACTERS | TAKEN PBS | RULES | FAQ | APPLY
	Once upon a time, in a kingdom far far away---oh wait, you've heard this one before? That's no surprise. We all grew up with fairy tales. And these stories of dastardly witches and wizards, of beautiful princes and princesses and crafty fairy folk are just that---stories. But what if they're not? What if, in an actual kingdom that was further away than you could ever imagine to get to, there were people living out the tales you heard every night before bed? And what if their mothers and fathers told stories of far off lands much like our own world? They probably wouldn't believe that this place exists, just as we couldn't fathom that there's a world where Cinderella really met her Prince Charming, and true love's kiss could really wake a sleeping beauty from a deathlike sleep. But that place does exist. In a world parallel to ours, in a place that no magic but what we cast in our dreams could get us to, the characters of these fairy tales are real; living and breathing but slowly fading away. Yes, that world is waning and all because the one thing that fuels it and keeps its residents alive is in short supply. That one thing is belief. And as our belief in the magical fades away, so will all that is magical. But there is hope. There is a family who, through ancient magic, has always been able to travel to and communicate with the other world. No one has ever been able to explain why the two sons of Grimm were connected to the land of fairy tales and enchantment. But it has been this way since before Jacob and Wilhelm began recording the stories of things they knew and heard from far far away. In their descendants, Rolf and Edwin Grimm, who have inherited this magnificent ability, lays the only hope for the people of the fairy tale world. Even Further Away is a social, thread based rp game set at a fictional Grimm Academy where the children of popular fairy tale characters have come to live because their world is dying. Descendants of the famous Brothers Grimm have found a way, through limited magic, to bring the next generation [ie Snow White's children etc] to our world in order to save them from theirs. Because the land of fairy tales is so different from our own, a boarding academy has been founded by the brothers so that these children can smoothly transition, and learn about the ways of our world in order to survive in it. The game will center around the students, their lives at the academy, and their interactions with each other all pushed along by some zany subplot.

Please enjoy your stay, and try not to die. It started out as rivalry between two adversaries, but eventually turned into a game. Out of frustration (or entertainment), both God and Satan created a game. They made the game board, they made the rules, they've set the prize, and now they're collecting the pieces. Chaos Unraveled is a multi-fandom/OC friendly game set in the fictional world of Chaos Unraveled. Characters are asked to join either Heaven's side, or Hell's side. Some characters are more than willing to join the cause, while others need more encouragement. Those who join the game will find themselves playing to either save the worlds, or to have them annihilated. The fate of the worlds rests on your shoulders!

We're going back to basics. This a new FIRST COME / FIRST SERVE celebrity roleplaying community. Check out forerunner for details.

Manifest Destiny is a Marvel Comics-based AU set in the Dakotas during the days of the Wild West.

It is 1875. The United States is at a crossroads, still binding up the wounds of a country torn in two a decade before in the Civil War, while pushing westward in exploration with optimistic enthusiasm for its centennial celebration next year. After completion of the railway link back east and the discovery of gold in the Black Hills in 1874, the Dakota Territory has seen its share of boomtowns. One of these was named Marvel.

Dr. Charles Xavier, having opened a school and home for orphans after experiencing the horrors of war, has recently moved out west with students both old and new to provide an atmosphere less rigid than that of his ancestral home in New York. He dreams of giving these orphans an education and a fresh start where they can thrive and not be held back by their birth and their lack of economic opportunity. He's assisted by old pupils turned teachers, and his good friend Erik Lensherr, an immigrant who fled persecution in Eastern Europe. But where Xavier would ideally turn his orphans into gentlemen and ladies who can use their talents to improve society, Lensherr thinks that first his pupils must survive and grab an assured place in life before they can start improving it. Which man's philosophy influences any particular student's outlook and behavior more, who can say?

The law does its best to keep things in line. Colonel Nicholas Fury, hero of the famed Howling Commandos, keeps an Army garrison nearby at Fort Shield to help keep the peace in the area for major upheavals. For the day-to-day there's Steven Rogers and his posse of US Marshals, nicknamed the "Avengers" for their swift defense of justice, as well as the local sheriff and deputies. But it's still a rough and tumble atmosphere, with bandits and mercenaries alike.

Many people have been making their way out West in the expansion to Marvel and its surroundings to make a new life, whether to escape from home or the results of the war, or from boundless optimism: soldiers, immigrants, homesteaders, cowboys, gold miners, quacks, scientists, saloon girls, gunslingers, merchants, outlaws, and gamblers alike. It makes for a vibrant and sometimes volatile atmosphere, where just about anything can happen.
