| The Awakened Years |
 |
| On March 19th 2011 a shocking turn of events took place. Thanks to a rather nasty murder trial that took place in Salem, Massachusetts - the long held secret world of supernaturals came to light. Most had already integrated themselves into 'modern' society over the years, but this awakening of knowledge amongst the general populace changed things. The first few years were rough - law makers argued back and forth, often without consulting those most effected by their decisions, and many a stumble was taken. Just over 5 years out from the events that day the world is starting to truly come to grips with what was really out there all along. The Awakened Years focuses on three main parts of Portland, Maine; the Portland PD and DA Offices, the Portland Campus of the University of Southern Maine, and what has been dubbed by locals as the 'New' district (a restaurant, leisure, and retail district near Back Cove that boasts a 90% rate of ownership amongst supernaturals). While the game itself will be largely player-interaction based, be prepared for the mods to throw a little fun your way regularly. This will usually be in the form of the local paper (the Chronicles, though many refer to the supernatural publication as the "supe' stories") announcing events in Portland or events and threads of a more criminal nature because even though they're out in the open, that doesn't mean everyone is behaving. Open since June 2016 - check out all those shiny wanteds! |

The supernatural is all around us, vampires and werewolves live next door to you and to be honest, your senator's likely a vampire, incubi and merfolk serve you coffee in your favourite coffee shop . That alternative looking woman that runs the herbal shop down the road? She's a sixth generation witch. The bank manager that sort of weirded you out but looked excited when you handed over your family jewels to put in a safety deposit box? Yeah... good luck getting that back: you just handed grandma's gold to a dragon. The Supernatural Government kept peace for years, brokering a tentative peace between all of the supernatural races and making sure that they stayed out of the light, as it were, out of sight. Ten years ago, a number of the elected officials were executed, assassinated by an unknown party. The peace that had been on a knife's edge was shattered and now the supernatural world is at war within itself. It's an underground war, fought with polite words and veiled threats, but a war all the same. With a recent surge in the death rate in the city, and an increased reporting of ghostly sightings all over the state there's more going on than meets the eye. Between the possessions and the mass- induced hallucinations that are plaguing human kind, maybe it's time to start thinking that what was initially thought to just be a war within the supernatural world isn't as simple as was first thought... Perhaps there's a bigger threat out there that they need to face. Can you survive? | |
