It was your name that drew me, lol. We are a fantasy site that is in a medieval setting, however we are COMPLETELY original. ;)

TNR: http://www.thenetherrealm.com/forum/

Strangely enough we don't have any halfling races, I think that's just me not wanting to copy Tolkien but rather emulate him. Anyways, if we are not for you good luck with your search! :D

The Abydos Quest is an advanced free-form role playing board for writers interested in cooperative fantasy storywriting. There is a short application (post a writing sample for review - something from another board is perfect). No word minimums, shops, canons, or restrictions - write the stories you want and make the characters you want. The provided fantasy 'world' is extremely large, so there's lots of space for you to be creative!
  • Relatively new board, and small community
  • Only advanced writers accepted. Core members average 700-1500 words/post or more, with good depth, detail, spelling, and grammar (less is fine, this is just an idea of what we're like).
  • All stories are original - there are no set plots or cannons. A world with geography has been established for your use, you can create what you will within that.
  • The setting is fantasy - medieval with magic, dragons, knights, etc. Other races/species ok as long as they incorporate into the setting.
  • Most content is PG/PG-13, but there are no word filters.
  • Friendly, active staff who know how to run an RP board.

Hi there. I don't know how original you're going to find, but I do have what I like to think of an original idea. This is Camp December, a summer camp RP which lasts just this summer. People can make characters, explore relationships, and participate in a plethora of camp-related activities. Already I have scheduled an opening campfire, a game of hide n seek and the first camp out. Members and their characters can take part in any of the activities or they can sit it out if their RL schedules conflict with it. I'm totally open for new ideas and I love member input.

Ever wanted to go to a summer camp but decided that the dirt and the sun wasn't for you? Or perhaps you want to go but you don't have the time. Well then, come to Camp December.

Camp December is a virtual summer camp that lasts approximately 2-3 months in real time while we RP a month-long summer camp. During these two months you can make characters, create plots, expand relationships while meeting new people in the roleplaying community.

Join us at Camp December

Hmm...well, its an original idea that i came up with, so maybe you might find our plot interesting! :)

We're starting up still, so theres not a huge bunch, but we got 10 unique members with some of holding more than one character to help keep the plot moving until we grab new members.

And maybe you'd be interested in being one of them. We value each and every member, so dont worry about being ignored xD

Las Vegas is where anything goes, and everything stays. All the secret affairs, gambling, it's where people go for time to just have 'fun'. But then, there's always cheaters to this system and sometimes, it's not always fun for everyone else.

Casino: Fatale is a Literate To Advanced roleplay forum about transparant societies underneath all the lights, and the fancy colors that Las Vegas holds. Two teams, FALCON, and RAVEN, oppose each other in pure hatred for one another, or at least, their leaders due to beliefs about the way things should be run. Main mission? To destroy one's organization before the other destroys yours. Some may think it's simple, and each group puts the main goal as 'Protecting Vegas'.

But there's more to the story than a simple fight and protect scenario. It goes into a deep history between the leaders of each team, and the original goal that both teams shared. Differences create enemies, and now you must decide on where your loyalties lie. And is what you're fighting for truely noble?

well, these are my boards and they're pretty much original ideas so, yeah. i don't know if they're what you're looking for, though. i'll spare you the uber long plot for the first board and just give you a summary, here.

in london, there is a war brewing between three vampire clans and hunters. the three clans are trying to resurrect the first vampire, lilith. having been sent cast out of eden by god, lilith was turned into the first vampire to be the monster in paradise. as the centuries passed, she populated the world with vampires until one of her own thought that she was becoming too powerful and took her life but an evil this powerful never really dies. now, all three clans have one of the canopic jars of lilith and they only need the skull of lilith to bring her back. the problem is that the hunters also have one of the four jars and the only one who knows where the skull is isn't helping anyone. with the one who killed lilith now walking around london, many wonder what will happen with the war and their plans. one thing is for sure, with mortals still in the city as open game for the undead, london is bleeding.

the link is in my siggy if you're interested in it.

down, down, down

    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.

Twenty five years ago Amana was becoming a truly dark place. Aelin Telimar was only a small push away from plummeting the nation into a war that would tear her apart. Only two very special beings, from Aelin's own future, could stop him. And it was for that reason that Jackline and Connor Telimar defied magical law and traveled through time to when they were only infants.

Once they had the people of Amana on their side, things were easy, and fairly quick to end. The twins, yes Jackline and Connor were in truth the children of Aelin, fought their father, with a little help, and managed to stop him. They believed they had killed him. And they might have if not for their little sister,Jocelyn Elanis, who was totally devoted to the man she considered her father.

Jocelyn used every bit of strength in her to defend her father, mostly without her siblings knowledge, and did succeed in saving his life. She hid him deep in the heart of Barena, for though he was alive, at the time he was very weak from the battle. But over the years since, he is regaining his old strength.

The time is coming closer. Will the darkness that the twins worked so hard to prevent return? Or will they be able to stop their father once and for all this time? Will Amana return to darker times?

This is only VERY loosely based on Alice In Wonderland.

Everyone has heard of Lewis Carroll's ALICE IN WONDERLAND,
but they haven't heard it like this. It's present day Oxford, a bustling
city with everything anyone can ask for. Socialites, celebrities, and
entrepreneurs plague the city streets, stimulating the economy in
every way. But while this may seen like the shagri-la in today's world,
there's this sinister evil hiding underneath the city's perfect façade.
Enter the wonderlanders, the group of customers of Wonderland, the
drug den. Of course, with every exclusive clubhouse there is bound
to be the V.I.Ps of the V.I.Ps, and they're the special brigade that's
been with the Rabbit since the start, and they're the ones you don't
want to mess with. They're the valued patrons of the White Rabbit's
money maker, and the thing is, they're the people you least expect
to be there. Politicians, CEOs, the head chief down at the precinct,
you name it, they've been bribed, there, sold and signed their soul.

Skip over to the other side of the town where the investigators reside,
the ones who are dying to uncover and bust Wonderland, whether for
prestige or for their job. Adding to the equation, there are the believers
who fuel the rumors, wanting so desperately a taste of this Wonderland
themselves. And then you have the skeptics. Skeptics are those who
refuse to acknowledge the fact that there is something threatening to
take down the city's prestigious titles and reputation. They're the close
minded social royalty that hide away in their penthouse apartments,
sipping away at their expensive imported tea as if nothing is happening.


This is the city of Oxford, where addiction is the new black. Are you ready?

"Sound rolling."

"Camera rolling."

"Frame."

"ACTION!"


You are part of this crazy industry. The industry that never sleeps. Work hours can start
at 10pm and last all the way till 3 in the morning. When you get a project, you can forget
about doing some lunchtime shopping or going for a short holiday on an island your collaegue
bought. You are stuck with the same people day in day out for the next 10 months.

But you would rather be in work than out of a job. The fame and the money that comes with
it --- priceless. Suddenly everyone knows your name, and all your school enemies are calling
you up to "chat".

Except happy endings are stories that have not finished. You wake up one morning and you
find dozens of hate mail stuffed under your door. You open the daily newspaper to find your
16-year-old face staring at you with a headline that says, "DIRTY SECRETS HE KEPT FROM
FRIENDS". Your so-called best friend is giving interviews to OK! and Hello!. The film
you starred in is postponing its release date. The television drama you were supposed to star in
drops you. All of a sudden your career is non-existant.

This industry makes or breaks you overnight.

Welcome to Hollywood.

Elenlond - July 21, 2008 02:05 AM (GMT)
Elenlond may be of interest to you. We're an original medieval fantasy Rp, rated PG-13 and are moderately active. I'm not sure if it's for you, but I figured I'd post anyway =) Your username suggests it might be, though.

Elenlond...

A land of mystery, beauty, and power.

In recent times there has been some upheaval as those of the free lands - known as both the Scattered and the Middle Isles - begin to fear the power that the deities exercise over the two main continents, Esiria and Soare. Although no god has endeavoured to conquer the free isles, the people still fear. And there is talk that some have formed groups in Esiria and Soare in support of removing the deities, those who invaded their homeland.

The deities did not choose Elenlond, although they certainly named it. After their original homeland, Mianor, imploded on itself and the world began to devour its own entity, the gods gathered as many of their surviving citizens as they could, pushing them through the largest of the rifts that had begun to form in Mianor. There they travelled, weary from their travels, uncertain of their future.

This time was known as The Great Migration.

It lasted for many weeks - perhaps even months; few kept journals of their journey, and many perished along the way - but eventually, there was an end in sight. The people of the old land plunged into the new and it was named Elenlond. Once they were settled, the people could only breathe:

Our Celestial Haven.

Elenlond has been around for several years, although it recently underwent renovations. Although we sport 60+ members, we are looking for active, dedicated people who will join and help activity to blossom. Our members are friendly, chatty, and we love new people. So, if you're interested, by all means join! We'd love to have you.

Dirty Little Secret !

At this moment, there are six billion, four hundred seventy million, eight hundred eighteen thousand, six hundred seventy one people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil.

Six billion people in the world, six billion souls, and sometimes…all you need is ONE.
    Everyone makes mistakes, everyone has secrets, but what if just what if your mistake or secret was big enough to make you run and hide would you run? Leave behind the people you grew to love: friends, family, children, spouses, everyone in your life? Well, there’s a city in New Mexico that allows this… Albuquerque, perched right in the valley of the mountains in the middle of the desert. There’s tons of things here to start your new life. But be careful as the secret city grows bigger it’ll grow harder to keep your secret with newcomers from peoples hometowns come in, how long is your new life going to be a secret still.

Dirty Little Secret!

Would a purgatory-based roleplay strike your interest? It's just starting out, so I'm not sure if it fits your activity standards. But then again it just might. -shrug-

user posted image

time don't wait for no one

welcome to purgatory. no, not heaven, not hell. somewhere inbetween. you obviously didn't make any real impression on earth, so this is pretty much where you ended up. what now? well, that is the cool part. first off, you are obviously dead. don't worry, this place is a bit better then earth, in my opinion. but no one stays here for long.

leaving you broken, especially when you're under the gun

you have a watch in your pocket. depending on how you did in life, it is going to be tilted one way or another, or if you were particularly boring, it is going to be cut right down the middle. every action, everything you do, every single moment you have here in purgatory will push the hands of that clock closer to heaven, or to hell. don't get it?

makes things complicated, leaving you jaded, toward everything that's under the sun

it doesn't really matter. heaven or hell is coming soon. judgement day won't wait. better figure it out.

Tick tock tick tock, goes the clock

you are pretty much .on .the .edge, my friend



MelioraAdmin - July 21, 2008 05:19 PM (GMT)
Well, I'd like to think that people would consider Meliora original. ;) It's not based on any existing works of fiction or any historical information, but you will find familiar fantasy concepts in its races and plots. Judging by your username, I think you'll find these familiar concepts pleasing (though I regret to inform you that hobbits are not among the races that inhabit Meliora). There are countless possibilities to use your creativity, and there are tons of powerful and interesting positions for characters to settle into (mages, priests/priestesses, deities, royalty, and just about anything else). There are obviously some restrictions (can't have things getting out of hand), but I think you'll find that they're nothing more than methods of keeping everything consistent.

You specified that you're looking for a board involving humans. I'm not sure if you are interested in strictly human-only boards or boards that have humans among a list of other accepted races. Because of this I want to be clear and state that there are various races other than humans accepted at Meliora.

You weren't extremely detailed in your request, so I think that's all that there is for me to address before pointing you in the direction of my site. If you have any questions about Meliora, feel free to PM me here at any time. You can also enlist the help of any of Meliora's members through Meliora's Cbox or guest-friendly Questions and Suggestions forum.

. . .There Are Many Paths to Tread. . .
In a land governed by royalty and divinity, how will you choose to live? Will you devote your life to your deity, serving them as a priest or priestess? Will you live independently, giving up the protection of the divine? Will you reside within one of the cities of the eight under the watchful eyes of the god you trust? Are you one of the extraordinary who can earn the right to share in the powers of the gods as a mage? There are many choices to be made, for in Meliora, all things are possible.

. . .The Power of the Eight. . .

Long ago there was a battle with the mighty Leviathon that changed Meliora forever. The greatest mages of this time joined their power to destroy the Leviathon, but paid a great price. They perished. Their power was lost, but the land was restored. Years later, individuals from across the land began displaying powers greater than those of the mages that restored Meliora. They became the eight deities of fire, water, earth, air, day, night, time and fate. Since then, some deities have come and gone, but the spirits of nature have chosen others to rise in their places. The Eight are the most powerful beings in Meliora. Your fate is in their hands.

. . . Nothing Lasts Forever. . .

Meliora has prospered for many years, but all good things must come to an end. The Leviathon proved that tragedy can strike when it is least expected. It is only a matter of time before peaceful Meliora is, once again, shaken to the core. Will you be the change you wish to see, or will you step back and watch as others control your destiny? Even the smallest person can change the course of the world. Every soul counts.

Join us and find your way. . .
Meliora

4AM forEVER
user posted imagexuser posted imagexuser posted image


Yesterday I lost my closest friend
Yesterday I wanted time to end
I wonder if my heart will ever mend
I just let you slip away


It was the good old days that you now pass by. Those days where you were friends with everyone and they were all friends with you. Where it didn’t matter whether they had it bad or perfect, whether they had money or not, whether they lived life in the rich neighborhood or with the rest of the world. Because they were your friends, and you weren’t gonna leave them behind if you had any say in the matter.

Maybe I'll never see you smile again
Maybe you thought that it was all pretend;
All these words that I could never say
I just let them slip away


Then came High School. It’s those years where it’s all about what you wear and where you shopped. You left your real friends for the crowd that you best fit in. Didn’t matter who you wanted to be with, it was all about peer pressure. And if you didn’t fit in, you became a nobody. A wallflower with no friends at all. And there is no life without friends, right? Even if they get you into trouble more then you want to. They are your friends, right?

Why don't you hear me when I'm calling out to you
Why don't you listen when I try to make it through
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, you never know
Hold a little tighter


Of course, you could always try to get back together with them when college came, right? They’d want you back, because you were best friends in the good old days. But the damage was done. You became a somebody and they, a nobody. And in the times we live in now, it’s all about that. Who you grew up as resulted in what you’d become. And that’s what happened, right? You became what you were told to become. They became who they wanted to become.

Maybe one day when I can move along
Maybe someday when you can hear this song
You won't let it slip away


But, alas, here comes the real life. And there you are, stuck in the high end of the social status. Becoming something, sure, but not what you wanted to be. You could’ve been anything, but you chose to do what they told you to do. And now it’s too late to make a difference, because you missed your chance. It could’ve been fame, it could’ve been passion. But you missed out on it. Missed out on it all.

And I'd wish the sun would never come
It's 4 AM and you are gone
I hope you know you're letting go
It's 4 AM and I'm alone


Maybe one day things can change. Maybe you can be the one who makes a difference. Be the prep on the outside, but a true nerd on the inside and not be afraid to show it. Because that’s what will make all the difference. Being who you want to be, rather than what you’re told to be. It could be a revolution. But who’s going to start the domino effect when it’s all pressure and no fun? Here, when it’s 4 AM forever...

4AM forEVER is a new small-town roleplay. We have an ever-growing supply of canons available, and are accepting originals. We also have many sub-plots, and have to option to roleplay in Cornwall or Charlottetown.

So come join in – your life in Cornwall awaits you.

DarlingDear - July 21, 2008 09:06 PM (GMT)
We are brand new and just getting started. We have canons and whatnot and I know the whole "secrets" thing is kinda unoriginal, but you can create your own little story type thing.

Just another boarding school
Do you think you're made of gold?
Invincible?
You think you can handle it?
You will learn from this.


Preston Academy is your typical boarding school in Bridgeport, Georgia. It was founded in the early nineteen hundreds by Eli A. Preston. His goal was to create an acedemic atmosphere for teenagers. His result was one of the most prestigious boarding schools in the South. Today, Preston Academy continues to grow acedemically and in diversity. Students from all over attend Preston, as well as from different social classes. Yet, the school is simply a regular high school. You have the cliques and the dramas, the bitches and the losers. Its all there.

The 'It' couple of the current population were a bit like Romeo and Juliet. She came from the poor family and was attending Preston on a scholarship. He was rich and popular and following the family tradition of attending Preston. They were forbidden to date each other, for they came from two different worlds. But when Connor Wentworth and Laurie Davis met for the first time in their freshman year, it was love. And nothing can stop true love.

one murder, one suicide
You can't tell me my friend
that that wasn't worth dying for.
gave it all and received nothing
may as well have let them take more.


Literally, the world wanted to be them. To have the relationship they had was a dream. They rarely ever fought and everything was in perfect balance. No matter what, they supported each other in everything. Girls hated Laurie for taking Connor away and boys evied Connor for having Laurie, though if she weren't with Connor no one would ever had known her. Many tried to break them up on various occasions, but they just pushed Connor and Laurie closer.

Then the news came. The summer before their Senior year, Laurie Davis was found dead a mile from her house. All the evidence pointed to Connor Wentworth. It was hard to believe. They were too in love for Connor to beat and kill her. But rumors spread like wildfire and many became convinced that, yes, Connor murdered his beloved Laurie. Others refused to believe it. On the day of his trial, even more were convinced of what Connor had done. He was found hanging in his home, dead.

Secrets become known
Your like a deer in the headlights,
You've given up!
To save your life.
Find the will to save your life!


Who to believe? Did Connor kill his other half, or was it all a set up? No one knows for sure. But secrets are beginning to come out and they're afraid that their secret is the next to be expose. Can you protect yours? Will you become nothing more then another degenerate?

Welcome to the Steampunk world of Legend Makers.

The former King was lately found to have died of natural causes at the age of 35. Predicted cause of death was heart failure. Unknown to most, the result of his kingship's death was from a large quantity of Foxglove in his soup, which in small doses is classed as a drug used to aid those with weak hearts, yet large doses can prove fatal.

Following the death of the King, his child Alexander the III has taken up the role of monarch at the young age of 7 years old. Due to his age and inexperience, the Church has offered their services in helping run the Kingdom temporally until his 16th birthday when he can take his rightful position in the political world, seeing as his knowledge of the political world and faith will be up to acceptable standards.

Unknown to the public, the Church has lead the continent for the past 100 years by pulling such stunts similar to this one:

Monarchs have been used as political puppets, to be used when useful and discarded when posing a threat, much like the former king Alfred the IV. His Rule was cut shot due to a few outcries on his half against the Churches current place in the political world, (unaware, every decision he ever took as King was moulded by the Churches very hands). This lead to a momentary laps in the peoples respect for the Church. The Puppets strings were quickly cut away, opening a position for a new monarch, a new face for the church to hide there scheming behind.

AND WHERE HELL IS, THERE MUST WE EVER BE
ALL PLACES SHALL BE HELL THAT IS NOT HEAVEN.
WHY THIS IS HELL! NOR AM I OUT OF IT!



SO, LET'S SAY YOU'VE JUST DIED. YOU KNOW YOU DID, YOU CAN REMEMBER THE BLOOD OR THE PAIN OR WELL, HOWEVER IT IS THAT YOU JUST SO HAPPENED TO HAVE KICKED THE BUCKET, BUT THE THING IS, THE AFTERLIFE DOESN'T LOOK ALL THAT DIFFERENT FROM, SAY, ANY INCREDIBLY SHITTY LITTLE TOWN IN UPSTATE NEW YORK. BEFORE YOU GO THINKING YOU'VE GOTTEN STUCK IN SOME SORT OF PURGATORY THOUGH, DON'T WORRY, BECAUSE YOU SEE THOSE CHEERFUL PEOPLE ALL DRESSED IN BLACK CLOAKS? THEY'RE HERE TO INFORM YOU THAT THIS ISN'T PURGATORY! IT'S HELL'S WAITING ROOM! HELL'S GOTTEN A LITTLE FULL AT THE MOMENT, AND WHEN GOD CREATED HELL, HE HADN'T ANTICIPATED US HUMANS BEING SO INCREDIBLY SELFISH, SO HE DIDN'T MAKE IT QUITE AS ROOMY AS HEAVEN. WELL, GOD, THE POWERS THAT BE, WHATEVER YOU FEEL LIKE BELIEVING IN RIGHT NOW, HE AND LUCIFER ARE WORKING ON IT FOR YOU, SO FOR NOW, YOU HAVE TO SIT AND CHILL. APPARENTLY MAKING PITS OF FIRE AND HIRING DEMONS OUT TO RIP THE FLESH FROM YOUR BONES IS A TOUGH GIG.

SO, YOU'VE GOT A COUPLE YEARS TO KILL IN HELL'S EQUIVALENT OF A WAITING ROOM. WHAT DO YOU DO? WELL, YOU COULD GET A JOB. CRAPSHOOT OF A PIZZA JOINT DOWN THE ROAD SEEMS TO BE HIRING. OR YOU COULD MILL ABOUT AIMLESSLY CONTINUING TO BE AS USELESS AS YOU WERE BACK ON EARTH. EITHER WAY, YOU'RE STUCK HERE WITH HUNDREDS OF OTHER MISFITS THAT JUST COULDN'T QUITE GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER.

---

THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TOLD WHEN YOU GET TO BRUGES, LIMBO, ANYWAY. SOLEMN REAPER TYPES BRING ALL THE LOST SOULS IN ON CITY BUSES, TELL 'EM TO GIVE IT A COUPLE YEARS AND HELL WILL HAVE A NICE TOASTY SPOT OPEN, BUT UNTIL THEN, BE GRATEFUL THAT THEY'VE BEEN ALLOWED TO CHILL. PUN INTENDED. THING IS, BRUGES IS NOT HELL'S WAITING ROOM, IT'S A JOKE BETWEEN GOD AND LUCIFER. GOD DECIDED PURGATORY WAS TOO EASY, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PEOPLE KNEW THAT THEY WERE THERE JUST LONG ENOUGH TO PLAY NICE. SO HE REDECORATED WITH THE HELP OF LUCIFER, AND RENAMED PURGATORY BRUGES AFTER AN ENTERTAINING MOVIE THEY'D WATCHED TOGETHER ABOUT AN UNHAPPY HITMAN. BUT THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT. BRUGES WAS SET UP SO THAT GOD COULD SEE IF ANYONE REALLY WANTED TO CHANGE, WOULD THEY GIVE UP THEIR HUMANITY AND SIMPLY GORGE THEMSELVES ON ALCOHOL AND DRUGS, DROWN THEIR SORROWS AS IT WERE? OR WOULD THEY TRY TO SHAPE UP, EVEN IF THEY WERE TOLD ALL HOPE WAS LOST? IT WAS A BETTER WAY TO TELL THE USELESS FROM THE USEFUL.

ALONG WITH THAT, GOD SENT DOWN SOME ANGELS TO HELP TEMPT SOULS HIS WAY, WHILE LUCIFER SENT UP SOME LUCKY DEMONS TO DO THE SAME. IT'S A LONG RUNNING GAME WITH LUCIFER AND GOD, WHO CAN WIN OVER THE MOST SOULS TO THEIR PART OF THE SPECTRUM. LUCIFER USES COOKIES TO TEMPT, AND GOD... HE CHEATS. HE USES PRETTY WINGED ANGELS OF THE OPPOSITE SEX BEHIND LUCIFER'S BACK. COURSE, HE'S GOD, SO HE CAN DO WHAT HE WANTS, RIGHT?

---

SO WHAT WILL IT BE? TRADE REASON IN FOR MADNESS? OR DO YOU STILL HAVE THAT LAST LITTLE BIT OF HOPE LEFT IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD THAT MAYBE GOD HASN'T FORGOTTEN YOU? REMEMBER, GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES. LUCIFER'S ALL ABOUT INSTANT GRATIFICATION AND ETERNAL DAMNATION. UP TO YOU.

2013.
What an unlucky number.

    "My name? Oh... it's not really safe to say now, is it? Sorry. But it's best to stay anonymous
    when you're talking about things like this; particularly as my house was broken into last week.
    I'm not feeling sorry for myself, not by far; it happened to my friend too. The crime rate started
    to shoot up here in London in about 2010 and it just kept going. The authorities can't really
    handle it. Why don't we move? Because it's the same everywhere else; London just happens to
    be where I stay. So many people are mugged near me now and there was even a murder only
    five minutes from where I stay. It's unsafe and I can't even let my kids out of the house. I mean,
    there was once a time where I could stroll down the street without clutching my kids' hands and
    holding my handbag tight to my chest in case someone should try and grab it."
Welcome to London.
Your own personal hell.
Everyone's own personal hell.

    Imagine crime shooting up to a ridiculous level. Imagine being
    afraid to walk down the street. Imagine the breaking of the law
    around you every day. Imagine the authorities losing control.
    Imagine the punk movement's utter dream and your worst nightmare.
    You my friend, are imagining 2013.
Watch out or you may end up with
BULLETS IN THE BACK.


Bullets In The Back is a hopefully successful attempt at a crime RPG
where crime actually does happen and the events actually are realistic
for the future but pretty horrific. The roleplay is advanced and we are
an originals only roleplay, believing in true freedom with characters.
We are R-rated so be sure you can handle violence. Hope to see you there!

In the mists of time, long before Saetan was called to make his legend in the realms, wearing the darkest of jewels, the Black. Long before he used that power to rub the entire territory of Zuulman out of existence. Long before the coming of the most powerful witch to walk the realms. The dark weaving of Mother Night calls you from the comfort of the Darkness to bring you forth into a world of light and conflict.

In the glaring Light you see edges and differences that had no meaning in the Darkness, differences in race and social status, leading to conflict with ones self, your neighbors, sometimes all the world. You have been born into a world where violent emotions of hate, fear, jealousy and anger, especially anger, can erupt for the smallest offense.

You are Blood. Mother Night has given you more, a caste and the ability to wear a jewel. Your caste and jewel are yet more means to differentiate you from your peers and bring more hate, jealousy and delicious anger. Yes delicious anger, for your jewel can channel your anger into power, power to strike your enemies and power to frighten your friends. It is indiscriminate, cold, and dark, the darker the more powerful and frightening.

Simply by being Blood you are dangerous to all around you, everyone sensitive to the chill in the air that announces one of the Blood tapping into the dark depths of their jewel. It is the calm, cold, still moment before all that anger and dark power erupts upon the world in dark violence destroying all that are not protected by the power of an even darker jewel. There is no jewel darker than the Black. When Blood wearing Black go cold all you can do is summon your courage. There is no place you can run to, no one to whom you can pray. You have to summon the courage to take the anger that fuels the Black away, to lead the Blood gone cold from the killing edge.

It can't be all anger, hate and conflict that the Light offers, for Mother Night could not be so cruel to call you to a world so harsh as to offer only pain. The jewels gifted to the blood respond to, enhance and violently manifest all emotions not just the destructive ones. Blood will sing to Blood, jewels will sing to jewels, lords will sing to witches and Princes will sing to Queens, the darker the Blood and the jewels the more violent the passion and the more beautiful the song.

What will be your song? Will be a song of pain full of the wild notes of war, conflict and death? Will it be a song of celebration strong enough to stir the ancient hearts of the dragons still rumored to live in the realms, thanking them for the gifts they bestowed to the Blood? Will it be a song of sorrow, a keening howl or mournful dirge, deep and dark enough to blunt the edges and ease the anger? Will your song call to all the Blood of the ages resonant with a violent joyful power, transformative to all it touches and born from the deepest love?

Somewhere a weaver of dark webs calls the silken strands of joy, pain, sorrow and celebration left in your passing and the passing of all the Blood. Black strands of the darkest power fitted one to the other into the darkest web, forming the shape of a dream, and one day that dream will be made flesh, calling Witch to the realms.

Welcome into the world. Welcome to the Darkest Web.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------


The Darkest Web is a mature, advanced role-playing board based off of Anne Bishop’s Black Jewel Trilogy. In a time of blood and tribulation, we are forging our own tales about the men and women that make up the Blood Race. Romance, war, and scandals fill up the pages of our book as we tell the stories of those that could become legends. The Darkest Web has been an active board for two years now, and we plan on being around for many more to come. We have wonderful administration team and very active players. We are always looking for new players and new ideas. We would love to have you.
