theyearspassed is currently looking to cast one very crucial role. The part being that of a Terrorist leader. A human rights group, who believe that supernatural beings will never be able to live along side their kind, in a peaceful manner, and therefore must be destroyed. They are responsible for bombings, assassinations, various accounts of rape, torture, murder, and kidnapping. They wish to declare war on the beings higher up on the food chain, and have little regard for who happens to get in their way. This would be a very important role, a fun one too, and we would love to have it filled. So, if you're interested, please comment!

WORLD MAP | BYRNE ACADEMY CLASSES TAKEN | HOLDS | WANTED | APPLICATION |
A NEW GENERATION of heroes is trained under the veterans of old - young men and women learning from their heroes how to be the best super powered individuals they can become, at Byrne Academy. This new facility, hastily thrown together due to a rash of powered adolescents springing up across the world, is absolutely one of a kind. Located in the heart of the Mojave Desert, students come to gather in a location where they can do no damage to the outside world - either to learn how to join the powered world, or how to manage their powers and live a regular life. THE VETERANS' GUIDING HANDS are not enough, however: a new brand of unsavory vigilante is coming forth; individuals less concerned with morals and doing good and more with getting their man any way possible. The old guard of the heroic world try their best to mold these people, even inviting the presence of post-secondary age students to join them for internships and one-on-one tutoring that extends beyond that offered to the high-school age children in the facility. But it may already be too late to help those who have written their own lateral moral code. WATCHING FROM THE SHADOWS are the infamous group, the Chaos Syndicate, who have their fingers in everything - including the operation of the school. Covert members of the organization have joined the school, both as teachers and students, and are waiting for the opportune moment to recruit and pull the facility apart at the seams, thereby damaging international security and the strength of governments the world over. The Chaos Syndicate will strike - it's only a matter of time. Join us today, to experience Rites of Passage - inviting students, teachers, and superpowered individuals in the outside world. |

olympians is a thread-focused game which will be opening shortly. Aimed at providing a creative, somewhat wacky home for players who want to thread and thread often, it is being approached as a very small game or a group PSL. Input from interested players is very much wanted, and holds are now open. What does a mostly powerless god do in the modern day? We intend to find out.6:17 PM
the last hurrah!
GRAND OPENING 6/15
"We did it." As the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Class of 2023's Head Boy spoke these words, even the most powerful Sonorus charm couldn't have drowned out the screams and cheers from his graduating class. In fact, as the Head Girl joked in her ensuing speech, he really could have ended his graduation address with those three words. "We did it." The forty students who sat together that day had been Sorted together, had their first terrified lessons together, listened to the war stories of their Professors together, learned how to sneak out after curfew together, developed crushes on their Prefects together, had their first illicit sips of firewhiskey together, taken their OWLs and NEWTs together, and now graduated together. At the ripe age of 17 - and a few who have already reached 18 - the class of 2023 is preparing to separate after seven long, hard, wonderful years together. |

 It's the new school year at Piffled and the students have a lot more to worry about than just a bunch of mandatory art electives. A student-run campaign, strengthened by the support of prefects, has changed the Hogwarts curriculum forever. Now a mandatory sexual education course is in place for all students 16 and older. Sex was previously a banned subject at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry under the assumption that "parents took care of that sort of thing" and the students were "too young to be having it anyway". That's old school now. This school year will go down in Hogwarts history as the year that the school expanded itself as being not only a magical institution with the artistic backbone established by the Ministry since 1998, but also as a place that truly prepares young adults for adulthood in the best way they know how. If you thought having The Talk with your mum was awkward, try having it with the Headmaster. Piffled has been open since June 2010 and is still running. Focusing on students from 5th to 7th year and recent Hogwarts graduates, it is about to enter the the 2023-2024 school year. An event oriented game, students are encouraged to participate in as many clubs, school activities, and events as possible. As a reminder, all students are required to take one fine art elective "club" to keep up with Ministry requirements as well as the mandatory weekly sexual education course.

In Southern California, there recently opened a new luxury apartment building. Impeccably designed, impossibly convenient, ideally located, Pax Letale is the sort of residential Shangri La where Southern Californians spend all manner of favors and years trying to secure a spot. But Pax doesn't have a waiting list, nor can a place there be bought or sold. The people who find their way to Pax Letale belong there. Every tenant of Pax is a reincarnated deity whose worshipers are by and large long dead. Once very real, these gods began to fade as science and reason dispelled the probability of their existence. Reborn as mortals, their essences remain, waiting to be awakened. Somehow, sometimes one by one, sometimes in groups or pairs, these creatures of destiny have discovered Pax, and have not been able to resist its pull. For at Pax Letale, the awakening has begun. As these gods rediscover themselves and each other, the seemingly invisible but ubiquitous management tracks each of them quite closely, and the very building itself seems to have an agenda of its own. And as the gods made humans in their own image - or humans made them in theirs - so will the the behavior of the people of Pax turn as dark as their myths. Blood, strife, sex, petty plots, torture - even murder will wind their ways into Pax Letale. A lovely place. A peculiar place. A dangerous place. Enki is the Babylonian god of water, crafts, intelligence and creation. Twin of and best friend of Ereshkigal, goddess of the Underworld, he is often seen as a positive foil to his brother Enlil, utilizing his magic and cunning for the good of others; he brings aid to deities and humans alike, serving as a rare masculine nuturer in a chaotic and often oppressively patriarchal pantheon. He will likely have connections to Tiamat, Ereshkigal, and other Sumero-Babylonian deities. Brighid is the Celtic goddess of the forge, inspiration, compassion and creativity, and a patron goddess of artists, craftsmen, and other creative types. In her mortal life, she may have connections to her parents, her siblings, or any of the Celtic pantheon. Masauwu is a Hopi deity sometimes called the Skeleton Man, Keeper of Fire, Spirit of Death, and the Master of the Fourth (present) World. He is depicted as a dark-skinned man wearing a mask; sometimes the creature beneath this mask is described as handsome, sometimes as a disfigured monster. Connections to Native American deities and gods and goddesses of death or enlightenment are likely. Don't see a tenant that interests you? Other deities and pantheons are welcome - pick one of the active pantheons in the game, or talk to a mod if there's one you don't see, and make your modern god as you see him/her/it. Holds and applications are being accepted for all available pantheons. |

Those still supporting the dark arts for the past in Europe retreated across the ocean. The United States is the land of opportunity.

 Everyone who has ever been a student knows just how hard it is to go into the "real" world after graduation. There are so many possibilities and questions - where are you going to work? Where are you going to live? How are you going to pay the bills? Even kids with wands and a wealth of magical history behind them struggle with these problems when they leave the hallowed halls of Hogwarts. It was Headmistress McGonagall who first noted that, post-war, a lot of former students were disenchanted with life and did not achieve all of their goals. A school that once peddled out the best Healers and Aurors in Europe had fallen into the rut of middle management jobs and obscurity. That was, however, until Professor Longbottom came up with a solution: the Work Experience Program. He proposed that, rather than sit through NEWT subjects for jobs the students knew nothing about, that they could actually 'live' in the city and 'work' for themselves for a year (under the guidance of their professors, of course). The program had its first run in 2021 and, with great success, it has been able to run another year. So, good luck, class of 2022! You have a lot to live up to.
