Other Notes:
I want a site that I don't have to wait around for a lot of stuff. I'm an experienced role player, so I want to be able to cut the kiddie stuff and get into the story. I like rps on the darker side, if possible, vampires, werewolves, all that good stuff. Though I'll take nearly anything. I'm not being too picky in my requirements, and I'll visit every site that responds to this. I just need a new rp that I can get comfortable in, and play.

Fast-forward to the next generation.
The world; it lies in ruins. A shadowed shell of what used to be.
Humanity struggles just to exist, forced to the bottom of the food chain.
Trying to find a new way in the world.




Saved by our own mutations.
Some wonder if it was better to live as the lower class or to just die.
To be turned into weapons, no more than slaves to the psionic lords.
To live a life that is not yours to live.

Puppeteer-

Very nice looking site, though I don't know if I can get into a dragon war. Not quite what I'm looking for, though it's very pretty.

WELL!

i might have something that might at least entertain you for a few minutes. i'm still working on finishing the subplots but mostly, its ready.

It's advanced and has a few loyal members so far. The site is based on crime tv shows (multi-fandom) but also has its own original storyline moving along with it. Currently, we have more originals than canons, lol.

clicky here for more

Ryo-

Looks fairly decent, but I'm going to have to pass. I'd like a little more members/activity before I commit to a site.

Carmen-

The Crime TV shows isn't doing it for me. Sorry.

Enter
Aelyns. A place of both the living, and the dead. A place where there is no unreal or real, only those who exist. A place where freedom is a birthright, and hierarchies rule the land. A place where appearances are often misleading, and where even the purest of souls can fall to darkness. A place of traitors, a place of believers, a place of leaders and followers. A place where imaginations rule and reality is all but a dream. This is the place where fates collide. This is the place of the brightest hearts. This, is Aelyn.

As more and more souls enter these Lurid Lands, more and more connections, lies, and secrets are buried beneath the land’s mists. One wolf is his own enemy, one has been exiled, one has killed their own kin, and one is even supposed to be dead. Intricate webs of ties and bonds, grudges and lies are what hold this land together. Through the dark mists, these secrets lay buried. But dormancy is as much as a curse as it is a blessing. Sooner or later, these truths that are hidden are bound to resurface, and the deeper they are buried, the more painful the process will be. However, this is merely the beginning…



Lurid Destinies is a mythical wolf rp rated PG-13. We encourage intermediate to advanced roleplays, but beginners are welcome and we will do all we can to help advance your writing skills. Members form their own packs, or are welcome to lone about in the free lands. We are fairly new , but don't let that discourage you. We're very active, so you can easily jump in and become a part of the member to member plots. We haven't yet started our main plot, mainly due to the fact we wanted to allow our members to start out making their own mini-plots and creating more to go on with future plots to come. We are also taking suggestions for plot ideas. We have several ideas right now and are always welcome to others that our members might come up with. New members are always welcome with wide, outstretched paws. Our Advertisement and Affiliation boards are always guest friendly!

Maybe you can give us a shot? As admin, i accept members very quickly once their application is up. So for things to move pretty quickly should not be a problem.

We're fairly new, so you shouldnt get lost. We're a pretty simple plot and if there's any questions, well, you can always talk to me!!

Hope to see you there

-----------

We're active, we've got a lot of members, we're advanced, and we're certainly dark (functionally R, though you have to mark sex threads with an R in the title). For instance, we're beginning a war and about to have a human sacrifice (the site genre is technically medieval fantasy, with some notable deviations from the norms of the genre). We've also got drug dealers, whores, thieves, mercenaries, etc... no races other than human and no magic, so we may not be your cup of tea in that sense. Still, I think we're quite unique in the maturity of our members, our friendliness, writing quality, and our willingness to draw in new members. So I'd at least check us out.

Our link: thiasa.org

Our ad:




Not enough? We've got more--many of them dependent on your imagination. If you're creative, a good writer, and willing to try something new--this is the site for you.

So just sit back, buckle in, and Prepare for War...

The Baskar call the pale-faced strangers interlopers. They call themselves Thiasans. And they're out to crush the so-called barbarian opposition once and for all in what promises to be a long and bloody war. Barbarians? Just because their warlords marry their own sisters and they worship the sun as a God? The Baskar hardly think so. No, it's the Thiasans who must be conquered, with their castles and manor-houses, their arrogant King and brutal soldiers... their cannons and iron swords...

Come to think of it, the Baskar wouldn't mind getting ahold of some of those superior weapons... illegal arms traders, you say? It doesn't hurt that some of the Baskar are willing to trade a plant called datura--a potent hallucinogen--in return.

Then there's the plot to kidnap and sacrifice the Thiasan King to appease the Baskari Sungod...

...a prospective Queen so ugly she's thrown the country into an uproar...

...and no heir to be seen, apart from the weak and diffident Prince Fergus, the King's younger brother.

Let's face it, we're in trouble.

Welcome to Thiasa.

And for those who've read this much of the ad, some Site Trivia:

-We've won RPG-D's Forum of the Week award--a fairly big deal, apparently.
-We have an amazing new feature, auxiliary characters.
-We had 30 members within a week of opening, and we're still growing (we now have over 100).
-We encourage original characters, as long as they fit into our world.
-We also have so-called 'canon' characters, mostly ones connected to characters we're already playing, and generally very broadly described--often, we won't even assign them a specific age.
-We never require that you use a certain play-by.
-'Thiasa' comes from a Greek word. Ten points if you get the reference.
-Thiasan culture is based on Medieval Italy and France, and Baskari culture is based on the Sioux and the Aztec. Animal spirits and human sacrifice--where can you go wrong?
-A bored college student made up most of the site information. It took longer to compile the information on the Baskar than it took her to write a term paper on the philosophy of consciousness.
-Our cbox is unfiltered. That's right, you can curse in it.
-Come on, you know you want to join now.



Best of luck with your search.

We have loads of activity on RoM. There's lots of posting and lots of new threads every day--I sometimes have trouble keeping track of all of it. Join a few threads, make a few yourself, and you definately won't go long without replies. RoM is also very mature; the subject matter, while not consistently gruesome, can get you into some pretty sticky scenarios if you're so inclined. I also find it interesting because while RoM is divided into two factions, those of light and dark, they're not necessarily the clean-cut "this side is good and this side is evil," so it's also morally interesting and mature. So yeah, you can find a place in the darker side of things, since that's what you're looking for.

And as for werewolves and vampires? RoM is freeform, so you can make your character whatever strange combo you'd like.

One thing that I find so amazing about RoM is how friendly the members and admins are, so you should fit right in and feel comfortable in no time. Feel free to ask any questions or even just say "hi" in the shoutbox! We like meeting new people.



Enter into a world divided.

With the fall of the Guilds, the Realm of Mystery descended into chaos, out of which rose two factions.

Noresh, place of life, preaches truth, justice, and honor.



Repelling and attracting, their dance is a delicate balance upon which the fate of the world rests. After all, there could not be night without day, or day without night . . .



Yet now an even greater threat looms, and the two are caught in a shifty alliance that could fall apart with a single wrong move. Wanderers, unbound by pledges to either side, pursue their own agendas or seek to create their own power base. Others choose to unite with one of the two factions and test their worth from within. The promise to all beings has always been freewill, and the choice can be made only by you.

The Realm of Mystery is a freeform rpg where characters are the ones who create—or destroy—their world. Join Noctis, join Noresh, or set out on your own. Rise through the ranks or become the subtle shadow behind the throne. Throw havoc or negotiate peace—make friends or enemies—control magic or become a master of fighting—be a leader or a follower—blur the lines of reality to suit your needs. Create your character . . . . Create your destiny . . . . Create your world.

As an advanced roleplaying site, a "sample post" application is required to join. Once accepted, you will find active, supportive members who are helpful out of character and skilled roleplayers in character. Very few other sites are as long-running and creative as the Realm of Mystery, and nowhere else have individual members had the power to change and alter their world as they have on RoM. Join us, and learn the true meaning of magic.

Werwolves.... vampires? TWILIGHT?!

Thanks for looking Countess!

I have two sites. The first centers around high society vampires in NYC, with a twist. The other is based off the Host, and is about parasitic other world creatures that come to earth, known as souls. They inhabit the body and take over, but some come to love their human hosts and those around them. Very interesting plot. The Host is specifically intermediate/advanced. Check it out? Good luck in your search

What if one day you awoke but could not move? You tried to move, talk, smell, taste...but all in vein. There is only consciousness... and you are not alone. Suddenly your body moves, but it feels foreign, not of your will. You try to scream, but your lips are still. You can only exist, only watch from this prison as your life is lived by someone, something else... someone who was implanted and from which there is no escape.

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.

The mentally insane.

Treated like lepers by those who claim to love them, the ones who beg them to receive treatment to correct their “bent” mental state. These so-called insane persons were, at one point of their lives, average human beings and by the standards of today’s society, considered to be sane. Then something happened. Something that caused the fine structures they built their lives around, the very foundation on which they had built their lives upon, to come crashing down around their ears with a deafening noise. Suddenly, they were no longer sane; they were a danger to society and must be treated, perhaps even cured, of their “ailments”, of their insanity - to have their sanity restored.

But what is sanity? Is it a picture that’s been painted by the higher authorities, drilled into our heads over the last thousand years by those with careful hands and strategic minds? Or is it the way that everyone wishes the world to be? What if the insane are really the only sane beings on the planet and the ones who claim to be in the right mental state are truly lost, enveloped so deeply into the illusion cast around them that there is no way to draw them out? Is it possible that the ones who have escaped the clutches of sanity are on the right side of the line, the ones who have seen the light and tasted the glory of the real world? Or are they truly as crazy as society paints them to be? Are the insane really insane or have they just come to their true senses?

Welcome to City of Delusion, otherwise known as Deliramenti Asylum for the Mentally Insane. Not only is it the most prestigious mental hospital in the state of Washington, but it is quickly becoming the most popular asylum in the United States, nonetheless the Western Hemisphere. Before the fire that spread throughout the hospital, claiming two of the wings and the maximum security cells, the institution was already well known. Established in 1966 by Dr. Reginald Davenport just outside the city of Seattle, Washington, the Deliramenti Asylum for the Mentally Insane started off as a rather small hospital, consisting of only twelve patients. But as the success stories of his patients grew to be known by the public, more started to pour in through the doors. Soon, grants were received and put to good use. The asylum’s fame, as well as Dr. Davenport’s, skyrocketed and continued onward until the hospital became the place it is today, consisting of three floors and an innumerable amount of wings, wards, and rooms. It was a prestigious place, having a lovely reputation for the honest and hardworking psychologists who connected with their patients, made it their life to make sure that everyone in Deliramenti received the same treatment.

The hospital was well on its way to becoming the most recommended asylum in the United States when disaster struck. A horrible fire consumed two of the wings as well as the maximum security unit. The fire was so large, so out of control, that the entire hospital was forced to evacuate the building until the blazing fire could be extinguished. However, when the nurses and doctors were checking the roster, they noticed one very alarming thing: a good lot of the patients were missing; some of them were obviously killed in the fire, as nothing could have saved them, even if they tried, but most of the inmates managed to escape. As if the fire wasn’t the worst of their problems, it was soon discovered that almost all of the escapees were the residents of the maximum security ring, the truly twisted and deliciously insane persons who had a thirst for blood and a penchance for evil in the eyes of society.

Only a few days after the fire, Dr. Davenport dropped dead. It seemed that his death was from the forces of nature, but the fire? Oh no, the police hired to investigate the scene soon learned that the fire was intentionally set, that it was arson. But who was the arsonist and why hadn’t the information been leaked to the press? The news of the escapees already had and panic was consuming the city of Seattle; it was no wonder why the police didn’t want that sort of information available for public knowledge - imagine the effect it would have upon the city at large! Soon, Deliramenti Asylum was back in order. Though it was chaotic, all the patients had rooms to stay in and the hospital was running as smoothly as ever. Leadership of Deliramenti passed into the experienced hands of one Dr. William Korsakov, a famed Russian psychologist who could do no wrong. He seemed like the perfect fit for the Head of the Asylum. Things continued normally: patients were admitted, treated and released like clockwork. The asylum was constantly in the headlines, which only caused their fame and their fortune to skyrocket, just as it had in the early days of the establishment.

It has been a year since the fire tore through Deliramenti Asylum. There are still escapees on the run, using their clever albeit detached minds to evade capture. A task force has been established to help bring in the criminals. And it seems that the press and police force are just one step away from working together to solve the mystery of Deliramenti Asylum: everyone who is anyone knows that the fire was not an accident and that something needed to be done to round up all the escapees, who were continuously reeking havoc on Seattle, causing an inflation in crime. The only question that remains is how far are those of the press and police force willing to go to unlock the secrets behind the infamous Deliramenti Asylum for the Mentally Insane. Are they willing to risk their lives, their reputations, their sanity? One taste of delusion and you come back for more. Just take one step over the line, break the boundaries of sanity and cross into the CITY OF DELUSION. One taste of delusion and you come back for more.

Welcome to Myridia.

Welcome to a small, flourishing metropolis of diverse cultures and knowledge. Welcome to a country of fascinating characters, magic, and wonder. Welcome to a world so familiar, and yet so different. Myridia is a land pressed between two powerful empires. It is a land struggling to survive under the gaze of giants, but had persevered for decades. Its magically gifted population gives it a powerful edge, as well as its strategic geographical position.

But tides often change…

It is only a matter of time before one of the empires tries to take Myridia as just another prize in their war chest. It is only a matter of time before an empire brings blood and war to Myridia’s gates. This has caused tensions to stir uneasily amongst the proud people of Myridia. They begin to debate on their nation’s next move, with some calling out to submit to either of the greater territories.

Yet the pride of independence rings strong in many of the citizens; whether it be for tradition, for belief, or for pure ignorance.

But intrigue also churns within Myridia’s borders. With an active governance system in which political factions rule, the clashes within Myridia are often more fiery than those outside its borders. Everyone has a say, and political disagreement can often be dangerous, risky, and precarious. Factions fight for dominance, and the ever present guardianship of The Council looms silently.

A land built upon the ambitions, heartache, and passion of its people, Myridia is a place where the smallest of tales can have the most powerful of consequences.

In a land in which all factions have a say, a single voice might just make the difference.

Will it be yours?

Sway-
I don’t think a wolf rp is for me. Thanks for offering though.

Littlerikku-
I’m looking for something a little less like real life, so Imma have to pass. The site looks good though.

Smathna-
The site is pretty, and I’m sorta intrigued. I’ll give it a more thorough once over, but the no magic and only humans bit is throwing me off.

Inochi-
Sounds very interesting. I’ll give it a closer look. ^_^

Lexalove-
Sorry, not interested in Twilight…

Blue Bloods-
The vampire one is interesting, but I don’t know if it is my cup of tea. I’ll look around. thanks

Black Waltz-
Gotta admit, I got lost in your site. >_> Too much…

Blkhavenprincess-
Sorry but that’s not really what I’m looking for.

i've got a vampire RP, as well, but we're not accepting new members until after the revamp but we'll be back up in about a week or so, if you're interested in checking it out and possibly bookmarking

Detroit. Already one of the most infamous and dangerous cities in the world. One wouldn't think that it would be possible for this city to become even more so, but it has.

For years, the Colombians, Italians, and Russians had all held a shaky truce while they attempted to take their control over the city. Each 'gang' had their own specialty and each one was trying to rub out the other in subtle ways. The Colombian Cartel ran the best drugs, the Russian Mob had the best weapons and the Italian Mafia held great power in the city government. Unfortunately, they were always at war. One man, a great and respected leader from the old days, stepped up to bring peace to the city and offered a way to make the best of their strengths and weaknesses. Together, the three leaders from the three families and the revered leader were going to turn things around at a summit meeting in downtown Detroit. What happened then, no one can honestly tell you.

Dead.

It was all over the news for weeks. The one that they called the Don was found dead in his hotel room the day before the meeting when all of the families and their people were in town and on edge. With such a loss to their last hope, it seems that everyone is pointing the finger at the other. The police just blamed the families and their war but the families are blaming one another. Who could have done this? The Colombians? Well, of course they want to own the drug world but what would they do with the whole city? The Russians? Americans still like democracy, thank you. The Italians? Those pasta loving morons would turn the city into some backwards third world village! So then... who?

If you listen very carefully, you can hear it.
