Beyond the Darkness

The Premise

Voldemort is dead – has been for almost seven years now – the war should have been over that night long ago when Harry Potter did what no one dared believe he would do. The war, however, didn't end, but went on. Regrouping under Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange, the Death Eaters kept fighting and with the Ministry gone and the Minister for Magic killed, the wizarding world was thrown into chaos.

From this chaos, two new factions were born. One group (under the leadership of Minerva McGonagall) wanted to open wizarding society to a decidedly suspicious Muggle world, whilst the others wanted to close off the wizarding world completely from Muggle influence and seek strength in isolation. With a brutal attack destroying Diagon Alley that left a part of London burning, the two factions of light realised that they must start working together to defeat the Death Eaters.

The game began at this turning point of the war - the point where the side of light finally has a chance to win. But there is still a long way to go. Can these two factions put aside their differences to finally win this war, or will they dissolve into their own fighting, giving the Death Eaters a chance to overcome?

Which side will your character support?

The Game

Beyond the Darkness RPG is a role-playing game based on the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. The setting takes place seven years after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows ends but is canon compliant only to Half Blood Prince (as the game began before the release of book seven).

If you're looking for a game where player influence on the main plot is high and the moderators are willing to listen to your suggestions, then this is the game for you. One year running and still going strong, we see a bright future for the game. With plot-lines running far beyond the end of the war, we're not going anywhere for a long while.

We are looking for creative and active players who want to build a story for their characters in this far from perfect world. All levels of experience are welcome, from the players who have never played an RPG before, to those who have played for several years.

You must be 18 years of age or older to apply.

Game officially started on February 2nd 2007.

The Characters

Due to RL for our players, we're at the moment actively looking to recast several important characters, as well as seeking those we feel could develop the over all game. The list of available characters is still large and varied however, so don't hesitate to take a look.

Among those we're seeking to recast are: Among those we're seeking to recast are: Minerva McGonagall, Percy and Ron Weasley, Draco Malfoy, Hermione Granger, Bill, Charlie and Arthur Weasley...as well as several others.

Examples of other needed characters would be Rita Skeeter, Vincent Crabbe, Zach Smith...and many others.

We're especially looking for a Death Eater who could function as a spy within Upper Slaughter. This needs to be someone who could be recruited by Severus (so someone who trusts him), and also someone clever enough to manoeuvre around Rodolphus and Bellatrix - which is not an easy task.

New RPG

Toujours Libérer is a role-play game based within the French Revolution. It is slash-friendly, focused on the intrigue and passions of the time. Play as any European nationality or an American observer, as a poet, politician or aristocrat. Even a serving maid. Will your character escape France and resettle in England or will they help French aristos to escape? Will they betray their ex-employers or will they risk all to keep them safe?

Toujours Libérer is open. There is a chance for characters to interact, alliances to be made and duels to be fought at The Ambassador's Ball

The game is open to players 18 and over, and is an original game set in Revolutionary France.

Toujours Libérer Character Wishlist
We would dearly love some revolutionaries, some servants, and some non-French characters. Some foppish poets, some soldiery, disillusioned priests, maids, criminals, and other characters along these lines would also be welcome. We have a full quota of female mistresses and female prostitutes and so will not be excepting any more of these sorts of character.

Laclede Academy

Laclede Academy is a boarding school of the utmost importance located in Saint Louis, Missouri. Parents send their children ( 14-18 ) there for only the best possible education. The school offers an emphasis on daily in-class discussion and expression of ideas, high-level reading and writing skills, and in-depth knowledge of subject matter. A daily schedule of relatively short classes allows students more independent study time (with study hall for new students), maximum access to teachers for help as needed outside of class, and better preparation for college life. Interscholastic athletics, fine arts, community service, and many other activities complement the intellectual challenge, and long vacations provide time to relax, travel, and pursue one’s own interests. Founded by Nathaniel Laclede in 1956 the school has been upheld as only one of the best in its decades of existence. The campus is located in a secluded off road area where it is hidden from those passing by. Large trees and a thick white bricked wall encircle the prestigious school keeping students captive until the weekends.

The school seems perfect, almost too perfect. There are rumors though of strange events occurring on the large grounds, though the words rarely leave the mouths of those outside of its walls. Students disappear, there are screams in the night, bodies found with in the halls all of it unexplained….or so the staff would like to make you think. Here at Laclede Academy the supposedly friendly and ever helpful staff are not what they seem, they are heartless and abuse and use the students for their own dirty deeds. You see, every staff member has a dark secret. Chances are, if you know something you won’t last.

Shelby, California, nestled at the foot of the San Bernadino Range, was once a widely populous town. Countless people migrated to the place in 1850 as a result of the Gold Rush fever spreading throughout the state.

By 1855, Shelby was a ghost town. Houses and buildings alike had been abandoned, ransacked, and some even burned to the ground. Its residents had fled, fearing the wrath of the vindictive Dooger Brothers’ Gang.

For nine years the once rich locale remained deserted, until a group of people came and claimed the land for their own in September of 1864. They rebuilt, restocked, created new lives for themselves. Faith was restored in these people, this land.

But one thing the new residents never counted on was the return of the hostiles. The bandits. Two rival groups of outlaws, both claiming the town was rightfully theirs to steal from. Both groups periodically threatened New Shelby’s growing economy. Both groups fought and killed each other mercilessly.

The year is 1867. The date, May 1. The place is the fictional former ghost town of New Shelby, California. Law men, bandits, cowboys, and Native Americans abound. A childhood game of “Cowboys and Indians” has come back anew.

Where will you fit in, partner? We’re changin’ an’ makin’ history here.

The game is set to open on May 1, 2008.

.
Despite the long awaited defeat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, the structure of the Wizarding world was still crumbling beneath the pressure. Death Eaters scattered, loyalties questioned, and the grief that ran rampant through the heart of many, prevented the immediate change in Wizarding society. After years of danger the citizens of Wizarding Britain remained cautious and intimidated.

Was He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named truly gone? Would he be able to rise again? Was the Wizarding World beyond repair? Could they dare to hope for the peaceful future that was long overdue?

With Kingsley Shaklebolt as Minister of Magic and Harry Potter taking a spot among the Aurors, Witches and Wizards everywhere began to emerge from behind locked and warded doors: to slowly return the full lives that had become distant memories of the past. The economy flourished, population increased, and most importantly a peaceful atmosphere was finally established.

It has been almost seven years since the passing of Tom Riddle. The Wizarding world has prospered, building upon the ruins of the old, but just as the past has been littered with war and heartache, so shall the future. As the year 2005 dawned on the Wizarding world, a new threat darkened the doorstep of the Wizarding world. It isn't Muggleborns or Half-bloods being targeted. Not this time. This time Purebloods are falling beneath the onslaught of discrimination. Threatening letters and words written in blood have appeared at several Pureblood homes and popular Wizarding establishments, all signed with the same cryptic signature.

The Society for the Destruction of Pureblood Supremacy is an organization of individuals who remember what it was like to be prosecuted for being born with Muggle blood flowing through their veins. These individuals find the new measures taken by the Ministry of Magic to be far more lenient than what they should be.

Many died during the last war because their blood was not pure, and it is believed by SDPS that the only successful measure to prevent it from happening again is to remove the threat from the equation: the complete destruction of the Pureblood families.

The Ministry of Magic has taken precautions and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement investigation in under full swing. Unfortunately, little is known about this organization. Their attacks are done by Muggle means, which leaves to room to trace a source of Magic. Letters continue to arrive and blood continues to be shed. The only way to stop the cycle is to find the source, but how long will it take to discover? Will it be too late?

FACT: Supernatural Beings are not a myth
FACT: They live among us
FACT: Vampires, shapeshifters, witches, elementals, psychics - all of them are here. Now.

The world at large is aware that there is more to life than humanity - they've known this for a long time. Human rights are more 'species rights', vampires walk amongst us, werewolves have PC terminology. Their children are educated with our children - sharing this world in harmony is the key - though we seem, still, to be a way off of that.

For all the world has been aware of the preternatural for hundreds, if not thousands, of years, the world is far from peaceful in this regard (much like in every other regard). It's getting to be a hostile environment in some countries, and the world is collectively holding it's breath as things seem to be in a time of change. Supernatural legislation is being accused of being too harsh, and both shifters and vampires both want their respective species to no longer be considered diseases and be recognized as proper races and peoples. Experimentation on the supernatural has also been going strong and people are moving to have it halted, as much of it is harmful or seems to be. There are large groups of people boycotting a company which has boasted it's tireless search for a 'cure' for everything, stating it could be used as weaponry against them as a people at large. It's motivations are publicly pure, but the implications and morality are being challenged. (note: so far they haven't 'cured' anything.)

In the midst of this lies a school with national independence. Quaesitis Academy.

The Academy is not the only school of its kind - serving, as it does, both preternatural beings and 'normal' humans, but it is considered the top of them all. It's the oldest established, and has a long, detailed history and still remains strong today. It's the only one of it's kind with national autonomy, keeping it's roots deeply in the idea that they are there for the world, not for one part of it. Getting into the school or graduating from it will open doors for a person world wide. It's often thought that if a student comes from there--they can go anywhere and do anything they want. It's the epitome of prestigious. Contrary to it's popularity and the millions they could be making on opening the school up for larger numbers, the school also maintains it's motives towards it's students. The school presumably will eternally remain small, allowing all of it's students a very hands on, interactive learning environment. No one falls through the cracks here, and they mean to keep it that way.

They take a variety of students - from the rich kids that can pay their way, to the children who are court-ordered to attend, taking in the orphans of previous pupils along the way. The mix of students is wide, considering the age range - the last two years of college, plus a three year university course. It attempts to be a world of its own, secluded as it is on a Carribean island, but the world has a way of interfering...

Quaelitis Acaedemy in a brand new, original roleplay based around a high school and university catering for students aged 16-21!

We're looking for well-thought-out, well-written and above all balanced original characters.

Overview::Rules & FAQ::Taken/Wanted/Restricted::PB List::Application::Locations::Resources::Alternate M:IC:OOC::Mods Contact

We are a recently opened marvel universe game, based on current comic continuity looking for good players. There are a TON of characters still available for play, including almost all of the X-Men and Avengers (on both sides!), so check us out!

Overview

Where We Begin

The Marvel Universe has been shattered. The mutant population has all but been driven to extinction by M-Day, and further splinted by the events of the Messiah Complex, which culminated in the disbanding of the X-Men and a bullet in the head of Charles Xavier.

Things were little better for the rest of the Marvel Universe. In response to the initiation of the Superhuman Registration Act, heroes of the world find themselves divided among those for and against it. Ultimately a Civil War breaks out between these factions, which sees the Avengers split into opposing teams, and ultimately the death of Captain America.

Before the dust can settle, World War Hulk is unleashed upon the world, threatening to destroy what little is left standing of the Marvel Universe. This is a time of conflict and division among heroes, ushering in a new, darker era.

And anything can happen...

This is a comics canon Marvel Universe role playing game set roughly in the aftermath of these key events. If you are interested in joining this community, please read the Rules&FAQ. The next step is to visit the taken and wanted characters page. From there, you can apply.

Pleasant Port RPG

Welcome to Pleasant Port
Where life is still good... Or at least it seems to be.

There's a place where the blue of the water melts with the green of the fields. Where you can see the immensity of the ocean from the top of the hills. Where children can discover and adults can rediscover.

This place is called Pleasant Port.

If you enjoy real life stories but you're tired of high school or college rpgs, if you enjoy writing and you're a creative person, if you think that role playing means more than posting, you already have three reasons to join this game.

April 2008, nearly four years since the rescue, the once famous and widely talked about Oceanic Six are now considered “old news” by the media. They’re able to lead normal lives now - or at least they should be able to. Something has gone terribly wrong. The six, plus the others who managed escape, have been plagued by horrors stemming from their ‘new’ lives. Alcohol addiction, incarceration, committed to an insane asylum; these are only three of the things that have made the survivors’ lives horrible.

They thought the media had forgotten about them. They thought the months they spent on the island had been left behind. They thought they were free. But the island never forgets. And now, it seems it may be playing for keeps. Now it wants them back.

Full premise can be found HERE. (navigate)

THE GAME WILL OPEN ON APRIL 7th

Called Back :::: An AU Time Travel Game

The year is 1000 A.D., and the Wizarding World is in awe. Four of the world's most renown sorcerers have finally finished their project. They have built a castle -- no, a school. A school that, for years to come, would house children who wished to learn the arts and skills of the various branches of magic. Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Helga Hufflepuff and Rowena Ravenclaw had built a safe haven for their kind, and the whole world was excited about it.

Everyone knows the story of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. What they don't know is that there was a fifth founder. One who was rejected before the school ever opened, as his ideals were more sinister than even Salazar himself. He had different ideas for the school the five of them built. This man, known as Darwin Draconis, wanted to use the castle not as a school, but as a training facility. Much like the Dark Lord of our time, Draconis wished to rule the wizarding world. It was not a matter of blood purity, but simply of power and fortune. It was these ideals that sparked an argument between the founders, and Draconis eventually attempted to assassinate the other founders. He was locked away for the rest of his life, and left to rot in prison.

Draconis was the only wizard of his time to -- or any time, truthfully -- to master the distant magical arts of time manipulation. He was, after all, a brilliant wizard. Before he was thrown into a cell and left to rot, he cast a spell upon the school. Various parts of the school -- walls, artifacts, floor tiles -- were hit with enchantments that would last for years to come, if not forever. When touched by anyone with a wish to escape the school -- for whatever reason, be it a tiny bit like being hurt and angry and wanting to get away from it, or actually wanting to leave the school -- would be ripped from their time and thrown into a realm created by this master of sorcery.

Now, students and teachers alike, from all walks of time and realities, are finding themselves thrown into this world where nothing exists. There is no one aside from themselves and no way, at least that they know, to escape. They don't even know if a world exists outside of the school's grounds. Little do they know, Darwin Draconis has sent himself to this realm as well, and is plotting to fulfill his greatest desires -- to return to the Wizarding World he knew, with an army of sorcerers, and reign supreme. But, when Draconis lets himself be known, will anyone want to follow this regime?

The game is based loosely off of an old game the mods took part in over at greatestjournal, TMF. We have revamped the story and made it darker and what not. But, at the beginning, the dark wizard Draconis will not let himself be known. He is watching from a distance, watching as the ranks build. The first few months of play will simply be characters getting to know one another, interacting with people they might have never otherwise interacted with. Themselves from different times and realities, ancestors they've never met. Tempers and prejudices are at a high, and there's bound to be some drama. Join today!

It's 1977. Darkness is slowly blooming outside the safe walls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Just rumors, for now, of the former Tom Riddle becoming the Dark Lord Voldemort are seeping through the halls like disease, making people sick at the thought. Other's are doubtful. How could one man become more powerful than the Ministry itself? Yet more and more people are slowly disappearing, more people beginning to wear their sleeves longer, unwilling to reveal their arm as if a dark mark of some sort was hiding under the cloth... How long will it take for people to realize? How long will it take for someone to fight back?

And how long will it take for Dark Lord Voldemort to obtain complete control?
