    ARKHAM CITY X AC LOGS X OOC

    INFO X RULES X FAQ X APPLY X AVAILABLE & TAKEN X PLAYER DIRECTORY

    Since the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum, warden Quincey Sharp has taken credit for Batman's successful quelling of Joker's uprising and used that momentum to win Gotham City's mayoral election. The first of his broad-sweeping plans is to proclaim Arkham Asylum and Blackgate prison unfit to house criminals. Sharps buys up a large swath of Gotham's slums and walls it off, stocking the perimeter with highly trained armed mercenaries from an outfit named Tyger. All prisoners are transported to this new facility dubbed Arkham City approximately one year after the events at the asylum. They are given only one rule under threat of death: do not try to escape. No other policing takes place inside, leaving a mix of two-bit criminals and super villains to eke out an existence in this lawless, ruthless ecosystem.
    [Credit: Game Informer #209; Article - Diving into Darkness, Batman: Arkham City, by Bryan Vore]

    Arkham City is only loosely based on the game of the same name. Seeing as the game isn't even out yet, that's a given. If you want to explore character development in a lawless society, then you're in the right place.

    Arkham City...
    Is chaos incarnate. There is no law here, no structure, no civility, no God. The inmates have free reign so long as they stay within the Arkham City walls.

    Tyger Mercenaries
    These ruthless men and women are here for one reason and one reason alone: To keep all hell from spilling out of Arkham and into the general public. They're armed, they're dangerous and they definitely shoot first. Fuck the questions.

    Criminals
    These are the poor, unlucky souls who really get the brunt of things. Whether you were holding up a grocery store so you could feed your family, or you were caught breaking parole, or you were dealing drugs --if you were locked up in Blackgate for it you're stuck with the crazies now. Good luck.

    Villains & the Criminally Insane
    The biggest reason Arkham City was formed. If you were transferred from Arkham Asylum, then you're in this category. These are the high rollers, the big bads, the people you don't want piss off. Nearly all of Batman's rogues gallery falls into this category. Oh, and hey! The mercenaries have a pool going on who'll successfully appoint them self mayor first. My money's on Two-Face.

    Musings
    The essence of our stories has always existed.

    In the world nearest to ours, there is a population of people, growing yet eternal and immortal, who spring from us - from our imaginations, from the seed of creativity that is the new existence of a definitive fictional character. You won't find replicas there, for the movement between planes is a changing thing, and you'll need to delve deep for the essence of our originals in Musings.

    In Seattle, a one-way portal between planes has allowed these beings to filter into societies all over earth, where they live mortal lives and find fulfillment in the power this world offers - however short the time to enjoy it. Rumors in Musings abound, telling of generations making lives here... and the exodus has begun.

    Equipped with supernatural abilities that do not exist in our world, the Creations (as they call themselves) find new challenges here. Among the immigrants there are those who wish to use their abilities for power and control of others; those who wish to defend the race they have joined, powerless though humans are; and those who would prefer to live their own lives in this new promised land.

    PAPERCLIQUES

    Oh, it's a common topic that's been visited a dozen times before. You and I both know the drill! School is where cliques form and the survival of the fittest is taken into a twisted mentality. Its where drama is sparked on every individual day. Well, here there is no dramatic happening in these teens' lives which make them all bond together. There's nothing that makes them suddenly fall in love. They aren't trapped in a house together. They aren't forced to be around each other. Really, there's nothing to cement these kids with one another. However, they're united by a single characteristic. They each belong to cliques. They each find it difficult to break free from the boundaries they created for themselves, yet...they need only remember that cliques are paper thin.

    PAPER'CLIQUES

    Paper'Cliques is a high school role play centered around a gossip site. We aim to have a small, close-knit community. Canons and originals available!

    A boarding school RPG with a literary twist.

    RULESFAQAPPLICATIONCURRENT CASTTHE TOWNLOWOODMOD JOURNAL
    The school of Lowood in the tiny town of Castalian Springs is an intensely private school hidden away near the West Coast. However, what appears to be simply a high-class boarding school is much more than that. There is something unusual about the students and staff of this school—each of them is the reincarnated soul of a long-dead author. There's more to the game than this, though; for some time literary apparitions have been appearing in the Springs, in the form of characters, places, and items straight from the original stories of these authors.

    As the fictional world collides with the real world, the students of Lowood are required to divide their time between sorting out their relationship status, avoiding the teeth of Dracula, and finishing their homework assignments on time.

    This RPG is well-established and has a lively community of friendly players—and talented writers to boot. Play is most frequently done through IM, and the game has plenty of room for your own plot ideas and development with literary apparitions. Questions, if not answered by the links above, can be directed to castalianmods@gmail.com.

    Maybe you should join the force, huh?

    Welcome to Obsidian City where the sun never shines, the crime never sleeps and love never dies.

    A dark city in all sense of the word, Obsidian City is lucky to see one day of sunshine. If the city is dark at night, it isn't much better during the day. Too much smog and cloud blocks out the half decent light that struggles in between the skyscrapers. People make do though, possibly a little angrier than those who live under the undivided sun, a little more miserable, a little more hopeless. This is no city for the weak, and it certainly isn't a tourist hot-spot.

    Obsidian City was never a shining city on the hill, it was built and born as if already crumbling down. Beneath the heavy, dark clouds that rarely seem to let up, lies a sprawling mecca of theft, corruption and greed. It really is no wonder that in such sunlight starved streets, there is little light to be had in the city’s inhabitants. Each jewel-named district hardly lives up to its name: The Ruby District, a self-sufficient community of its own, ruled by whores, who are the law. The rich are safely tucked away in The Onyx Towers, far from their poorer brethren, the utterly impoverished who languish in the Ivory Narrows.

    Outside of The Ruby District, where the only laws are their laws, it is not the oft corrupt and always under funded police force that holds the most sway in the run of Obsidian City. No, the city is divided up and controlled by three major crime families, in close environs that seem to speak of a constant threat of war between two or more of the ruling families.

    The Russians led by the Petrovskii Family, from their base of operations, Duma, an upscale nightclub known for its beautiful women and for the illegal deals made in dark back rooms, lord over the Diamond District. The Irish led by the O'Donnell Family, from the Irish pub that the first O'Donnell to come to America founded, long ago, loud and busy and full of their history, control the Emerald District. The Italians led by the Pavoni Family, from their Italian family restaurant in the center of the Topaz district, and come with as much flourish and ceremony in both their illegal deeds and their lifestyle.

    The Families are not the only ones that the populace should fear, as there have been recent whispers that there is a serial killer preying upon the inhabitants of the city, lurking in the shadows and bringing death with them.

    As if the population of Obsidian City didn't have enough on their plate, they now need to look over their shoulder at every step.

    And so do you.

    Feel the Magic

    Since the beginning of time the creatures of magic have been awed, wanted, and hunted down. Religions fade and fall. Fears grow and abate. The beings of this world change, grow, and they adapt.

    Lost in the world grander than its dreams, a small town beckons you. Its name is Crystal Falls, nestled in the middle of one of the largest lakes of the south. The only way in is through boat or flight. There are others here like you. They live normal lives, adapting their ways as you have had to do to survive with your freedom. You wonder how many of them know. You wonder just how long you all have until the fear grows, questions go unanswered, and the hunts begin. You wonder if the humans will be able to stay, as some wish to keep the island for the mythical creatures only.

    For now, this town is safe, a haven for the mystical creatures of lore. They welcome you with open arms. Most are friendly like no other place in the world. More are coming, drawn to the power already here in this enchanted land, and by the powers of the ones long settled here. The promise of protection, friendship, family, normalcy, whatever it is you want out of your life is here and now. How long will it last? Who can you trust?

    Welcome to Mystic Realm.

    Oh Marvelous: A Marvel RPG


    You inhabit a fantastical universe peopled by super powered beings and mere mortals alike. Here, living a sane life is no easy feat. In such an extraordinary world an average day can be ruined by the strangest of threats, be it viral zombies, megalomaniacal criminals or alien invasions. It's all just part of a normal day in a very abnormal world. You don’t even glance up at the shrill whine of sirens, the whir of helicopter blades, or the roar of a giant monster a few blocks over. In the sky above a caped hero is flying towards the fray; a member of some metahuman team or perhaps a lone vigilante. Maybe the monster is a mythical creature or an extraterrestrial or the latest super villain's favorite minion. A van is hurled into a building that shivers and another angry howl fills the air as you go casually about your business- buy your newspaper, sip your latte- and mutter cynically to yourself, "Oh Marvelous."

    Oh Marvelous is an age 18+ social AU Marvel RPG. The game is thread based, third person, and is played in real time. Oh Marvelous is primarily set in present day New York City, though play occurs in locations all over the world. Plot is mostly player driven with occasional inclusive plots affecting the entire game. This game does not follow any set timeline or particular Marvel continuity, so in this universe pretty much anything goes.

    ///// ECLIPSE ADVERTISING

    Our RPG started in line with the TV Show. It started just after Volume II of the TV Show finished. From spoilers we kinda knew which way it was going. We devised our own plot in line with the idea of Level 5. But we started to divert away from the show and started using our own plot, separate from the TV Show, but incorporating our own ideas.

    Our RPG will still do that, using the main idea from the TV Show for Volumes but will have our own ones.

    In other words we kind of have our own universe, but have little bits and pieces from the Heroes TV Programme.


    WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU?!

    Well, this is a story separate from the TV programme. Set after season 2, and taking the rest of the seasons into account. This is the story of the unsung Heroes, Villains and Company members, as they go through their day to day lives. Unknowingly helping the people from the show.

    This RPG is completely original character only. This makes it easier for us to tell our own story without the restrictions of the TV programme. But that’s not to say that the Canon Characters won’t appear. They may appear to you, played by our lovely admins. They may give you a mission to help them. Who knows? So go forth. Make friends, enemies and maybe more. Enjoy the game.

    ?Bellum Letale?
    don't judge a book by its cover

    PREMISE | RULES | FAQ | THE CHARACTERS | APPLICATIONS

    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. It seems to be somehow bigger inside than out, with narrow passageways, intimidating doorways, and lovely corners that disappear and reappear at random. And its occupants are just as strange--from all over the world, from all walks of life, all of their lives have nudged them toward this building as if they were always meant to live there.

    This is, of course, because they were. 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 chase love, they are, all of them, on the brink of disaster. Not just for them, but for the world at large. This world of science is in need of fables once more, even if the fables themselves do not yet know how much.

    Bellum Letale--Lethal War. A premade fairy tale and fable community. Now taking holds and applications. We are set to open within the next two weeks or when we recieve five applications. Looking for Looking for Morrigan, Jack of Tales, Sweeney Todd, characters from the Peter Pan crew, Dracula, The White Snake, The Witch of the West, or anyone else, really.

    Ever since the vampires left the coffin and went public with their existence, the world has been in a constant state of turmoil. Even with the invention of synthetic blood to preserve their lives without the need to feed on humans, it's difficult for the average person to accept the supernatural around them with open arms. Radical groups such as the Fellowship of the Sun are actively recruiting new members to join them in their quest to rid the world of what just doesn't belong. If only they knew vampires weren't the only supernatural beings that call the world home...

    Bon Temps, Louisiana seems like any number of quiet, small towns in northern Louisiana, but nothing could be further from the truth. Teeming with the supernatural, this rural community is a supernatural hot spot and brimming with secrets. Nothing is what it seems, and nothing ever will be again...
