We started in Rent fandom, post canon, but in the past two years, we've developed into an RL game based in New York which happens to have the canons from that fandom running about. . . You don't need to know a thing about the musical or the movie, since the characters are just characters, nothing more. We're grown up, decent writers, and friendly as can be. Have a look. The banner in my sig's the link.

You're living in America at the end of the millennia. . . and you're not alone.
Alphabet City
We're in the year 1996 and the colorful residents of the East Village in Manhattan are facing the issues which challenge poor Bohemian artists in the mid-90s. Drug abuse, HIV, prostitution, starvation, death, life, and love. However, they find that they aren't alone, friends are all around, and there is always coffee to be drunk, issues to be discussed, and art to be created, good and otherwise. Come join our cast of canon and original characters, featuring a strong sense of community and creativity and find that you're not alone either.
Other notes:Based on the Broadway musical RENT, set post-canon, though slightly AU to keep Angel alive. We have evolved and changed over the past two years from a fandom RP to a RL RP with some fandom characters.  We are lucky to have a great group of OCs who are keeping the plot moving and changing quickly, and we always welcome new writers and OCs with open arms.   
We also have a brand new board!  It's pretty and blue and still has that new board smell!!  Come see.  It's pwetty!!!

I dunno if this fits your taste, but we have some options you might like. Out in the Black is an original Firefly verse RPG. We have a few options for characters, they can be crew or passengers aboard a ship, but we also have the option of a small frontier town that might interest you. If you've never heard of firefly just see it as space meets the old wild west set a few hundred years into the future. Although it's not scifi like star trek, we're concentrating on the hard lives people live on the frontier planets (just like in the old wild west). It is hosted on ZB, but yeh, ZB is IF. Anyways, if you have questions or anything, just pm me or post inthe cbox ^^.

Early 21st century, Earth had finally grown beyond its limits and exhausted its resources. Mankind reached for the stars and found themselves a new solar system, with dozens of planets and hundreds of moons. Each one eventually terraformed to sustain life, a process taking decades.

Early 26st century, life on the partially colonized outer planets resembles the lawlessness and desolation of the American Old West. While the core planets prospered and grew strong in their ideals under Alliance control. The Alliance, a formation between old America and China, wanted to get the outer planets under their control too. Independents refused these idealistic views and war broke out, known as the unification war.

Five long years later war ended with heavy casualties on both sides, more heavily so on the Independents side than the Alliance. Even more then before the outer worlds were impoverished and crime ridden.



The year is now late 2519, and in the quest to seek out the perfect civilization the Alliance began experimenting to create the perfect society in taming aggressive behaviour. But it backfired resulting in millions of innocent lives that were lost and the birth of a new people, Reavers, malicious and cannibalistic people. Alliance tried to cover everything up.

Mid 2519 word got out, the last recorded message of a scientist was broadcasted across the Verse. The secret revolting and rebellion spread across the stars once more. The Alliance denied the reports at first but eventually embraced the idea and regarded it as a necessary loss. Others thought differently.

The Alliance this time is on the guard, trying to stop any uprising of those who step out of their control and challenge them. The 'Miranda' project, as they called it, has become their battle cry. It has been seared into their brain as lost loved ones made their sacrifices on that forgotten planet.

Its a playing ground; how will you play it ?


An active & original Firefly Verse RPG! Set after the Serenity movie in late 2519. Explore life on the Rim or join up on a ship, anything is possible on ’Out In The Black’

Neither are them are what I'm looking for. But thanks!

Etcetera - June 22, 2008 08:19 PM (GMT)
We meet all your requirements except one: It's not set in the present. Buuuut since that was just preferred time setting, I thought maybe you might like to take a look anyway?

Link's in my siggy anyway.

Taski - June 23, 2008 08:31 AM (GMT)
Wow, all those face claims you just named arent claimed on our site yet. You should make one of them =D
overview


You've arrived in Gaimen City. Fasten your seatbelt: it's going to be a rough ride.

You can find anything you want in Gaimen, if you look hard enough and ask the right questions. Information, jobs, sex, drugs, the time of your life or the end of it. Be yourself but be careful ... you'll get eaten alive if you lay yourself bare.

Gaimen City is fraught with peril and excitement. The City is governed by three ruling families: de Winter, Treymaine and Jade. Constantly forging false alliances, fighting new wars, bargaining over territory and trade. Few in Gaimen City are neutral: how can you be, when almost everything is owned by either one family or another? Fence-sitters live short lives. Choose a side or have a side chosen for you.

And yet, perhaps the feud between families will be laid aside, at least for a time. Recently, a new order has emerged: the Libertines. Their agenda is not yet fully disclosed: it seems they seek to erradicate the violence and crime and restore Gaimen City to the People. You're kidding, right? The Three Families are not about to let that happen. They've begun sharing information in a bid to silence the Libertines forever, whose raids and assassinations of important players are beginning to put a strain on business. Can it be done? Or has the reach of the Libertines already planted itself too deeply in the city's foundations?

Gaimen City is an alternate reality roleplay for intermediate to advanced players. Please keep in mind that this is an adult board, with adult themes and content.

I just opened up a brand new real life rp that has all but hilarie and joie open on the ai's that you just said you like. here's the plot/ad for you to take a gander at.

QUOTE
no such thing as the real world
its just a lie you have to rise above


Welcome to Louisville, Kentucky; the sixteenth largest city in the United States. Located in the middle of the country, it doesn't seem to have a lot to offer. At least not in the way of beaches. However, it does have the Kentucky Derby, Thunder over Louisville (one of the largest fireworks displays in the world), a great night life, and a great variety of people.

It also has districts. The five main ones are Downtown, Old Louisville, University of Louisville, Bardstown Road, and the East End. Sure, there are others. But they don't have the je ne sais quoi the rest of the city seems to hold.

downtown louisville
Downtown Louisville is the stretch located just along the Ohio River. The skyline that you see from almost anywhere in town (except possibly the East End) is here, along with most of the best clubs. During the day, this section of town is filled with young professionals, all trying to make it in the world. Hospitals, night clubs, a nightly block party... Downtown has it all.

old louisville
Old Louisville is allegedly double the size of Monoco and it's the third largest collection of Victorian mansions in the nation. But don't let that fool you. Most of the mansions have been renovated to provide apartments for the citizens. There is no type of person you'll find here. Sure, there are a lot of college students due to it's close proximity to campus. But there are also people from every other walk of life. Entertainment wise, there are a few bars down here and a park. The eating here is pretty good though.

university district
Unfortunately, some people in Louisville are still in school. The University District not only houses the local university (University of Louisville) but the high school as well, if you happen to still be in that part of your life. Around the University is a lot of various fast food restaurants. The housing in this area is all on campus, only for college students. But that's okay, because the university district is mainly for the students of the two schools.

bardstown road
Bardstown Road is one of the most popular places in Louisville, at least for the younger set. On one very long road is pretty much anything you could imagine. There are clubs, a morgue, tons of restaurants, stores, tattoo parlors, and all the scene kids you could even dream of. While Old Louisville is like living in Greenwich Village, visiting Bardstown Road is like visiting Greenwich Village.

the east end
The East End of Louisville is pretty much the rich section of the town. The houses and apartments here cost a fair amount of money. In fact, an extravagant amount. This is one of the safest parts of Louisville, due to the fact that not that not everyone can afford to live in this area. The malls are all down here and everyone seems to be content in this area... unless you happen to want a good club night, then you're out of your element.

welcome to the real world
You've gotten a tour of the city. Now it's time to decide if you want to move to the Ville. Once you do, you'll find friends, enemies, lovers, and maybe even happiness. After all, isn't that what living is all about?

Welcome to Louisville. Welcome to real life.

Welcome to the real world.

Lizliz91 - June 23, 2008 09:02 PM (GMT)
Thanks for all these sites. I'll think about it. I like 3 of them, although my own site just got busy! lol ironic huh? Anyway, people can keep posting and I may end up on your site!

_BURN
"I'm so sorry—love, Elliott. God forgive me."
    On December 8th, 2004 Dimebag Darrell took three shots to the head while performing onstage. Twenty-four years before that John Lennon was shot four times in the back, at the entrance hallway of the Dakota. On April 8th, 1994 thousands of teens tuned into MTV to find distressed VJs selling air time to any company willing to give up the cash in-between vague details about Kurt Cobain eating led. On July 3, 1971 Jim Morrison ate the dirt sandwich. October 21, 2003 – Elliot Smith – two stab wounds. The examples go on and on. Rock ‘n roll is growing up, and growing old. Conforming; becoming complacent – the only choice is a slow death or an immediate one. Burn out or fade away? Music Television plays reality TV that is like no life I have ever know. No one trusts the government, and the nation is fighting a war many of its occupants simply don’t agree with. Eye liner sales have increased dramatically, Hottopic has never done so well – and yet, more often then not, music with any substance is ignored, hidden, murdered – if it doesn’t get a chance to kill itself first.Imagine if you will, that every rock star you have ever loved never got old. Image that they never sold out, and that they never died. Pretend, for a second that you could set the past on fire. That somewhere, in some world, all these people exist in the same town not knowing their potential. Not knowing what lies in store for them – money, success, fame, glamour. And inevitably death, but what if the when, where and how of that was up to you? Behold _BURN, set in a loathsome town of Ohio, during the tedious year of 2008. A place where your heroes live on as disillusioned teens, just trying to survive amongst a society that just doesn’t understand and probably never will.

Are you ready to join the elite?


THEY ARE THE GOLDEN AND THE CHOSEN


An acceptance letter has arrived to Monroe College an academic achievement and the key to a thousand doors, but maybe, just maybe a mixed blessing worth thinking over...

Situated in Northern California, just slightly inland from a long row of pristine beach land, lies one of the country's most prestigious universities: Monroe University. Founded by descendants of President James Monroe, the university has everything from its own private stretch of beach to world wide reputation for academic excellence. Monroe University is as elite and competitive as one might imagine it to be and stands among the most prestigious Ivy League Institutions.

On the surface, Monroe looks perfect: All the history of the East Coast Ivy League with the endless summers of West Coast paradise. Prestigious buildings, decorated professors, and the white sanded shores of Northern California sounds too good to be true, right?

THATS BECAUSE IT IS.


Delve a little further into the exclusive, glamorous world of Monroe and a trail of mystery emerges, centered around the elusive Graves and Roses, the most elite and powerful secret society on this particular coast. Everyone who's anyone is a member, but then again they'd never tell you. Freshmen are just dying to get in... literally.

Last year, tragedy struck Monroe when alleged Graves and Roses member Aaron Teegarden was killed in a car accident. Although nothing was ever made official, rumors circulated the campus that there was more to his death than was ever made public. His little brother joining the Graves and Roses quelled rumors momentarily, but Aaron's devastated girlfriend, ex-campus sweetheart, doesn't seem to sleep anymore and his best friend, a journalism major, keeps digging and not too quietly.

Across campus, at the Sigma Pi Fraternity House, a freshman scholarship student named Anna Tate was found naked and unconscious after a raucous social mixer. Supposedly, she reported to the police that the fraternity president and three of the high ranking members had raped her. It would have been a matter of he said, she said if not for her blood work revealing an incriminating mixture of drugs. Strangely, a week later all charges were dropped. Did old money change hands?

The idea of class action needs redefining when one considers the rumors that a tenured professor has had indiscretions with more than one of his nubile Freshman students. No one ever seems to give the incoming Freshmen a word of warning. Tenure, after all, means untouchable.

Silence is golden in and out of the classroom. The Graves and Roses are so quiet members are hard to identify beyond the obviously wealthy suspects. The fraternities and sororities know how to draw ranks faster than a military formation. There's no such thing as free press either with the University newspaper having faculty on staff. Rumors, gossip, and, of course, overheard whispers are the most reliable forms of truth.

Believe the campus myths if you choose to or else take Monroe at face value, the playground of the privileged where bright young things party, study and above all, cause scandal.

cape coral, florida.

and i think you need to stop following misery's lead
isn't it time you got over how fragile you are?


where white picket fences and big houses hide the real story and where you
can escape from your future, but not from your past. where the parent's
drama almost surpasses their children's, where everything looks like a dream,
but where dreamland can't exist. where the sun sparkles and the ocean
dazzles, where illusions seem like reality, and where nothing is as it seems.
this is cape coral, florida. welcome home.

we're all waiting, waiting on your supernova
cause that's who you are and you've only begun to shine.

Welcome to St. Tristan's School for Girls. EXCEPT it's not just for girls anymore.
St. Tristan's has been forced to merge with a nearby all boy school Karl Emery's
Academy for Young Men. Karl Emery's hasn't been doing too well do to low
enrollment. They were forced to fire all their staff and now only the Headmaster
follows the boys to St. Tristans. St. Tristan's isn't your ordinary school for girls.
There are many quirks about this school from the girls to the Headmaster. The
girls are all very different from one another and there are many cliques, but they
all get along. The older girls might look crazy, but you haven't met the first, second
and third years yet. These girls don't want Karl Emery's to merge with them. They
want their school to stay the way it is. Karl Emery's boys aren't all different like the
girls are. They're stuck up and annoying to these girls. The only boys they really
want around are their Headmaster, Science teacher and two townies that come in
once in a while. These kids are learning some academics, but mostly they're learning
about life. That is what these teacher are there for.

Unsure if Little Jimmy is right for you?


A small town with about 8,000 good hard working Southern folk in it. Football Nights are like a religious holiday here. The girls pretty themselves up for a wild night of partying and sex every Tuesday and Thursday. When Monday rolls around, the kids are caught skipping to hang out at Montana’s or City Limits. Sometimes, the braver ones dare to go to McDowell’s Hole.

Twenty years ago, a program was re-introduced into Little Jimmy's perfect world. Honky Tonk Angels. An association where they took young high school students who had found themselves in trouble with the law and the harsher ways of life out of NYC into the country. There the students were placed with foster families for the year as they worked with the kids to straighten out their lives. The program still thrives today with the children of the original lifers and angels. Unfortunately much like the Little Rock, Arkansas disaster some of the folks in Little Jimmy aren't so...

Welcoming. The older families in town aren’t so welcoming towards the newcomers as some nasty words have been flying back and forth. It seems the town’s secrets of racism and prejudice seem to be leaking out at every turn. A team of low-end FBI agents has come to Little Jimmy in hopes of keeping the peace. However, can years of hatred and prejudice slip away like the wind? Or will relationships be tested and lines crossed?[/align]

    after the success of the real world, mtv has decided to do something new, something huge! so the producers got together, and soon one of the producers revealed that he had been cheating on his wife, and they were going through a divorce. this confession led to the new show. "that's a great idea! the show could be called tell me your secrets!" at first, no one really liked the idea, because it was too big, but soon everyone knew it was going to be a huge hit. the producers sent some people out to every state in the united states, and hold autions for the new show. soon, they found people, and the show was soon made. the show was set to be made in los angeles, were they built a huge mansion, and called it the secret chamber. they did give credit to the people working with harry potter for the name, of course. so, now, everyone's in this huge house. boys and girls. oh, my bad, men and women. they are in this huge house. there's going to be some fights and even some romance. but everyone in america is wanting these people to *tell me your secrets.

Hey there! If you're interested, I have a small-town roleplay based in Minnesota. We've just started out, so activity is low, but I've been advertising like mad and hope to get some more interested members. XD If it's not quite what you're looking for, then I wish you luck on your search. :3


Perry, Minnesota.

user posted image


Haven't heard of it? Well, that's no surprise. With a population of 11,000 people, it's hard to make itself known, especially in a state of Minnesota's size. Let me be the first to welcome you to Perry, Minnesota. One of many tiny towns in the state of 10,000 lakes.

Late on April 14, 1997, and EF4 tornado brought most of this small town to the ground. Large neighborhoods were destroyed, franchises were left barely standing, and trees were down everywhere, bringing power lines down with them. The tornado sirens in Perry were silent that night - it's still debated whether they were faulty or not. The only people who could've known were those sitting in front of their television sets at 2 A.M. After finally surveying the damage the next day, it was said that a total of twenty-two lives were taken. What happened in Perry that night was, and still is, considered the worst event that has taken place in the southern half of Minnesota in fifty years.

It's now Spring of 2008. It took years for Perry to completely rebuild itself: physically and mentally. Though many residents have chosen to forget the events that took place a little over a decade ago, many still have pangs of fear every time a storm cloud reaches the horizon. When one lives through the destruction of a storm of this magnitude, one doesn't move on easily. It could be decades more before any of the citizens in Perry relax during severe weather.

So, where do you stand? Are you a high school student whose family has lived in Perry their entire lives? Or perhaps you're an incoming college student from another state, with no knowledge of past events that strike fear into the hearts of many Perry citizens. Or maybe you're a mother of two, just trying to get by with what little your job will pay you, while still trying to convince yourself that lightning doesn't strike the same place twice.

Fear is in the eye of the beholder.

Have you looked towards the horizon?
I've heard that it looks like rain.

Manhattan Camp of Performing Arts
A TELL ME TELL YOU PRODUCTION
    Act. Sing. Play. Dance. Four words- all verbs, Words in motion, dreams in action. To some people, they're just words. But to others, these words represent lifestyles. Countless hours spent in lonely rooms. Tons of recitals, waiting for applause and a 'job well done'. Failed tests, missed dates, unwatched movies. Devotion.

    Manhattan COPA in a camp for these kinds of people. Teenagers from all over the country send in applications, but only the incredibly talented are accepted. Rich poor; black, white; dance, act. They came here to chase their dreams. There will be bumps in the road, along with injuries, drama, and stress. But these young people are willing to take that risk.

Okay I liked Grave & Roses but the skin is a little dark (something my muse doesn't like lately - the sites I am on have to be bright & colorful Iguess its because I looked at the same skin on Little Jimmy for SO long)


Cape Coral - WAY too many forums and not active

Little Jimmy - already a member lol

St. Tristans - none of the canons look appealing & i want a canon

Tell me your secrets - not active; blurred images; SMALL fonts

Feels Like Rain: not active

Manhattan: I like the site & the canons; but it doesn't appear very active & I don't like that the Invisionfree logo is still there and the site doesn'thave buttons that fit with it





Lizliz91 - August 4, 2008 03:30 AM (GMT)
