Genre: I'm not fond of High-School, Super Rich Kids, or anything set too far into fandoms. Anything else is fine.
Difficulty: I'm not really sure which category I fall into here, so no preference
Type(s) of Creature(s): I don't really mind, but I would rather that vampires, werewolves and animals not be hugely dominant.
Preferred Rating: Not picky about this really.
Preferred Number of Members/Activity: I prefer smaller RPGs (although growth later obviously I can deal with) but preferably quite active. Less than 60ish members is the sort of thing I'm looking for.
Preferred Time where RPG is set in: Don't mind at all

Other Notes: I'm really just looking for a nice role-play I can fit into easily. Most important for me is probably a plot that effects most members while allowing them to have their own sub-plots, and something that will last. There's nothing I hate more than spending ages on an application, just to have everyone disappear a week later.

I'd also like to avoid rps that focus around angsty vampires, super-rich-and-beautiful teenagers, and anything set too far into a certain fandom. Inspired by something is fine, so long as a certain level of freedom is offered.

I think you might find us interesting.

New members are love and we do our best to help them fit into things around the board. There's currently a lot of upheaval going on in Port Royal - which is carrying over in a lesser degree to Tortuga - and it's a perfect chance for opportunistic characters and plots to move in and set up. Plots are what you make them!

We might seem to be very slow with activity, but most of our members are either on summer holidays or working. Several members are on daily, even if they are unable to post. There is a Cbox at the bottom of the main page if you have any questions. I'm usually around in the mornings and afternoons and the admins are around frequently as well.

I don't really know if we fit at all, however... if you're looking for something that will last, I can at least offer that.

Tally is set in the Potterverse, but not affected by the books... so while we use JKR's world, you don't need to be a HP nut to get around. We have more than double the amount of members you specified, but that sort of tends to happen when you've been about for a bit. Tally turns two on August 6th, you can bet it's going to run for a long time yet... but if your main concern is being lost in a sea of members, we seem to have just that right amount where there's always something happening... but everyone still gets threads.

If this type of RP is your cup of tea, I strongly suggest you check Tally out... cause we're awesome, and we're not going anywhere any time soon.

You will find that at TNR: http://www.thenetherrealm.com/forum/

Our plot is open to all characters and many members have their own sub plots too.

We are highly active, friendly and are set in a medieval fantasy original world. :D We have dedicated member s and staff and love welcoming new members.

I think you'd fit in nicely with us as well. We've been running for two years and two months by this point and show no signs of slowing down! 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.

I'm being optimistic here...

You could give us a try. We're relatively new and are, unfortunately, having a slow start. So we'd love to have you. And there's probably a spot for your character(s). ^^

Technically, we're based on a fandom. We're also set long before the books on which the fandom is based, to allow for maximum member freedom. Theoretically, the information we provide is enough to get a newcomer by - or so I've been told - and in actuality, our members are more than happy to answer any questions you might have anyways ^^;;

LOL. Let me guess, not a Twilight fan?

Never fear, I've actually never read the books.

In any case, Thiasa is here to stay. We've got a solid, committed member base; it's really easy to make subplots (we have two main plots, and you're free to add to those, too). You will, however, have to work around our site plot, which is pretty active: i.e. we have a war, and most of our players are involved there. (We also have a serf rebellion). There's more, but a great deal of it is up to the members. I think some of them have a plot to assassinate my character, but, er, I'm actually not sure! o_0

We're not a fandom; we're totally original historical 'fantasy' (in that it's alternate world, but we haven't got magic or anything). I recommend checking out the site information (you only really have to read the first post in each section; after that, we let members add as they desire, so some info gets--rather long!). We have two basic cultures, one Bronze Age and one more classically Medieval. At the moment, things are getting quite exciting, as the two main plots are really heating up. :)

It does look like we have a great many members (144) but that's because we have our members create separate accounts for their characters. We certainly don't have more than the 60 you've mentioned as ideal, and you'll find we're very welcoming to new members. Seriously. Stop by the cbox; you'll see.

We do hold ourselves to a high standard, writing-wise, but what does that mean? It means we want decent, believable, rounded characters (no Mary Sues here) and basically grammatical writing--we don't have much of a length standard at all (10 sentences, and that's negotiable).

Our members... let's see, I can't say enough god about them, but here goes... our members are a group of lovely, mature, caring people--we never have a moment of OOC drama. They're also able to add so-called 'canons' to our list, so that newcomers can join in with some relationship to an existing member, if desired.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to PM or IM me.

Hi SillyRiRi,

I think the Black Pullet would work for you.

The Black Pullet is an AU HP set in Magical Ireland in 1969. It's pretty loosely based on Harry Potter -- we don't follow any of the original story. We don't even have canons; we've simply borrowed the magic and ideas from HP. We have all original characters; three of them are werewolves but they interact as humans.

We have an evolving plot and a dark grimoire that is its own character. The political climate has gotten ugly and people are heading for our prison, Hackballs Cross (it's a foul, nasty place). Things are gearing up for dark times and no one knows where they're going to end up. Alternately, there are plenty of sub-plots and threads that are lighter in tone.

We say we're advanced but we don't get bent out of shape over some typos or patchy grammar. There is no set paragraph length (although we like to see at least two). We are ‘R’ rated, but sex threads are not on the main board and only the writers themselves can ever read them.

I'm not sure how many posts you consider active, but in the past four months our post average has been about 17 per day. We've been around for about three years now in various incarnations. This latest has been around since March.

Frankly, I think we have a lot going for us, but I believe that one of our strongest features is that we're a friendly, welcoming and open group. Feel free to ask any questions you might have in the c-box.

You can click on my signature to take you there. Thanks for giving us a look!

If you've ever read the books in the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson I would appreciate you checking out mine.



You are reading Fang's Blog. Welcome!
Date:Today
You are visitor number:Yeah, I lost count at about 3,000,000,000.

So, we escaped. That's all it's come down to. Germany is behind us, and we will NEVER go back there again, if we can prevent it. You guys were a ton of help, with that awesome knocking-down-the-giant-wall move back there. I honestly don't think we could have done it without you. Serious awesome points.

As to where we are now? I can't tell you. All I can say, is that whatever you guys did, you need to keep doing! We've got an army of mutant hybrids with us now, and we're ready to kick some Itex butt. The By-Half plan will NOT be put into action.

-If you're a fan of classic fantasies, than Meliora might be perfect for you. It offers an unbelievable amount of freedom to get involved and be creative (a long list of different accepted races, various positions of power to obtain, and two site-wide plots that anyone can get involved in). The site-wide plots aren't totally up and running yet, but they're certainly on their way (a mages' guild and rebellion that will force everyone in Meliora to rethink their opinions on how Meliora should be governed).

-Vampires do exist in Meliora, but they're not your typical vamps and they aren't very common.

-We currently have about 20, very friendly members. Everyone at Meliora is extremely enthusiastic about it, so I'm not speaking on my own biased opinion alone when I say that it's a great site. ;)

-You don't need to worry about the place being abandoned. I've been there for three years, and even when almost everyone else left, I stayed. In May I took over management to bring it back, and so far my efforts are paying off. Even if everyone else leaves (I really don't think they will), I'll probably still be there.



. . .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.


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.


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.

Well, we don't have many members yet, but we have some reservations and the people that are on the site aren't leaving any time soon. ^-^

June 1967. The start of the
biggest World Tour in history. Six of the worlds biggest bands are all together, traveling
across the country in the greatest performance in history. The Beatles, The Rolling
Stones, The Who, The Kinks, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, and Big Brother and the
Holding Company are stopping in major cities across the globe in the most astonishing
rock show ever experienced.

Join us! Our first stop is in England then we're moving onto Germany, eventually ending
in Los Angeles. The tour goes through August 21. Come with us as we change the world
of music and rebellion forever. We're going ACROSS THE UNIVERSE.

We're a fantasy game, though we don't have elves or "magic", with a medieval-esque setting. We do not have vampires or werewolves, and animals don't play a dominant role in our game. really, they don't play much of a role at all.

Since we've just re-opened this month, the member count is so far low, but growing. We're a steady community who welcomes all new members with as much help as we can give them, and we're not likely to close down any time soon.

Our, plot, however, is exactly what you asked for. Every character can, and in some way does, have a major role in the board wide plot, while sub/personal plots are more than welcome, since we all like to see what everyone is going to do with their characters.

Welcome to the Isles of Shorelanei, a realm, a world, created by the torturer of the damned. Upon these shores many have come to rest; the lost seraph of heaven, the first murderer of man, and wandering demons of the abyss. Their children now populate the Isles.


Yet these descendants are not as great as their forefathers. Petty jealousies and hate have harden their hearts against one another. And when the creator of the Isles is exiled by an ambitious schemer, their world became an ocean of strife and uncertainty. Every day brings new hardships and changes, every event affecting even the most distant of people.

Here, it is all a matter of perception. There is no way of telling which path is right and true. With only your heart, and perhaps your faith, to act as your compass, there is no knowing where you might be led. You can only hope that it is not astray and to the brink of total annihilation. Unless, of course, that’s where you want to go.

It is up to the people as a whole, and not a prophesized hero, to save their world from a bitter end, or destroy a new beginning. Can blood be put aside and these four lines join forces to make a stand against all odds in a world where gods wage war?

How will you shape the future? After all, all beings were created with free will.

Have you ever wanted to be a spy? This might be the perfect rp for you because its something really new and the plotline is something rarely seen. So maybe you'll take intrest in us.

We have recently developed more importance in subplots and added more connection between the canons. So there is definately ways for you to interact with other members if you have absolutely no muse for an original.

We are also based a lot off original and canons, so we're a very open board just waiting for new people to join. We're all about making friends outside the RPing, so you'll definately have some laughs talking either in the cbox or on some other messenger. :) We're a tad new, but our activity is rather high with the amounts of members, so new members are a blessing ^-^

Hopefully i roleplay with you on our site. Hope to see you there ^-^

______

Not sure whether you're into these types of rpgs, but it fits your requirements as far as the plot, activity and member count. We're pretty friendly, so please take a moment to check us out:

Not sure if this is for you based on the details you gave, but I figure you can read our blurb and decide! ^_^ Good luck!



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.

Name of Board: Innocence Exposed
Link to Board:
Location of Mini Banner: In the news scroll box
Link to profile on the Board: Innocence
RPG Catagory: Alternative School or Boarding School
Contact Details: Through the profile listed above, or through “Exposed”

Activity: Highly active and long-running
Difficulty: Intermediate+
Rating: PG-13 - R
Types of Characters/Creatures allowed: Humans
Time of where the RP is set in: Present


Plot/Story:

The setting of this RPG is the school of Mount Horizon (located near Vancouver, Canada), which is a boarding-type of school for troubled teens. The premise of this RPG comes from a show by the name of Higher Ground, starring Hayden Christensen and A.J. Cook. Though the show only went on for a year, there are many fans still out there, that are growing each passing year with the increasing popularity of the show's star.

In this RPG, we attempt to re-create the feel of the show, with the emotional drama, love-lives, and everyday real-life problems that the kids on the show faced. Students at Horizon deal with issues such as:

• Drug Abuse
• Sexual Abuse
• Verbal Abuse
• Self-Mutilation
• Eating Disorders
• Neglect
• Grief
• Abandonment
• Depression
• Etc.

Of course, most of the characters on the site are originals (not canons from the show), and it's not required to have watched the show to join the site at all. We're just basically using the premise/location of the show and have converted it into an rpg, which has proven successful so far.

Stats:

The board's been up and running for almost three years now (the first site, Healing Waters, ran for over a year, and this continuation site has been running for well over a year and a half). We curently have around 120-150 some characters on our board, and it's always active, with 10-12 people usually on throughout the night. This rpg is almost like an online home to many, and we don't plan on leaving anytime soon. And, unlike most high school rpgs, this rpg can be at a comfortable and active pace; it's definitely not rush-rush or dead at any time.

Also, unlike most rpg boards, this one will not end within a months time only for a new one to spring up in its place. Due to the success of the board’s lifeline and the dedication of its members and advanced writers, please only join the site if you’re thinking of giving us a chance and staying with us if you like the place.

About the School:

Mount Horizon is basically located far away from the rest of civilization. The school is surrounded by a seemingly endless vast of forest and mountains, so it is quite secluded. There is a neighboring town close by, Agnes, where the locals live. Along with Horizon’s staff, there are also regular townies in the Agnes section of the board, so you can also just play a resident if you like. Also allowed are students, graduates, counselors, and just about any other type of (human) character you want to play.

As for the students, each one is placed into a group, and each group has two-three counselors who run it. The counselors may have one-on-one meetings with the kids in their group, hold group meetings or go out on a group hike (though it’s not required, and the last two don’t happen very frequently). Each group has their own cabins, for boys and girls respectively.

Other Notes:

There are only basic guidelines to follow; we aren’t uberly strict on the board, but we feel that we’re running it well enough to have lasted this long and still have many of our original members with us.

It is not required to have watched Higher Ground to become a member of the board, just read the rules and guidelines!

For security reasons, we've made our rpg only viewable to members; so you must register an account and wait for validation in order to view the board (which won't take very long at all~).

If things are a bit over-packed, or even slow, within the next few weeks -- we have been putting together the 4th Annual Awards for the site, but please come by and feel free to join at any time :)

May have a look at Asion. It's low-magic (magic is uncommon to rare) medieval/fantasy. We've been around three years or so, but I've only been a co-admin for two. The board is pretty sedate and has a small, dedicated member base. Patience will serve you in good stead with us. XD

Anyhow. Glance through the "Before You Register" section and see if we look like fun to you. My co-admin and I are usually available for brainstorming via AIM.

Look forward to hearing from you if we catch your eye. ^^

I'm not sure Elenlond will interest you, but I figure it's worth a shot. We're an original medieval fantasy Rp, with active and very friendly members who are always willing to help out when they can. There isn't an actual site-wide plot, although with the creation of three new nations, there are plots within those that could quickly and easily become site-wide. I figure it's best to just take a quick look, though I can't guarantee anything. If not, good luck searching =)



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.

We are a very active site, with a few new members every week. We are friendly and fun, we have many plots, canons, and ideas floating around. We are definitely worth a look around

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?

Are you ready to shake things up?

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.

Well my site's freeform, so you can basically play any plot you want really but post add explains the political situation just so people know the background of the plot :D

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.

Hey. Maybe you could give us a shot. Our plot affects all members at the moment, and we may be fandom, but anyone can join in whether they know the original story or not. Our members are friendly, and there are roughly 20 of us at the moment. Check us out, and if we're not what you're looking for, I understand. Good luck in the future. :)

Its not that active. I am hoping to figure out what the problem is soon. But I think its because I just don't have members that like to type a lot lol. But you are welcome to join. I am the main admin on the site.

Hey! We're a Second Generation Charmed RP, and guess what?! We did it right! No second group of Charmed Ones (Piper, Paige, Phoebe and Prue pre-death were the only ones!) and the original ones are gone! Wyatt is evil and the world has gone nuts! A warlock trying to become Source and good magick left without it's king allows for OCs to make A HUGE impact!

What a lot of people misunderstand about this format is that plot takes a bit of time, but it's dependant on the member going out and getting it. You can't just post in a plottage thread and get it in this format, but that's what makes it so great. You need to plan ahead, scheme and be manipulative! It's wonderful!

Well, if you EVER have a question, feel free to drop me a PM!!

It seems that whenever the world is finally spinning the way one desires it, something comes along and knocks it off course once again. For the Halliwell Sisters, the world had been spinning wonderfully for over twenty years. Their powers had become unmatched, even by the infamous King of Good Magick, and they alone had nearly purged the Underworld of magicks that were to be of a danger to their children. They each had three beautiful children to carry on the Warren blood and spread good magick. True these children held no special powers beyond that of their blood and they aren’t Charmed Ones or anything close, but they shouldn’t be counted out. They have something that the world has always been after. Something even good is after.

the book of shadows

Great power flows through those pages and the rights to claim it is solely yours would give you rights to the entire magickal world, or at least that’s what one mislead boy thought. Wyatt Halliwell was supposed to become the King of Good Magick, and though he was well on his way, the Elders gave him three hoops to leap through. The First Task; prove to three whitelighters that he had a mastery over his powers. This was easy for the powerful young man to complete, and the first hoop had been leapt through with ease. The Second Task; reach the age of thirty, a point at which the Elders believed he would be ready to receive their blessing. The Third and Final Task; have something to which he could prove his greatness. In this, the Elders meant only that he needed to commit some great good deed or prove he was truly good. To him, it meant getting something of great power. Though Excalibur, the sword he was to wield, was eventually to be under his control, he lost the ability to use it around the age of fifteen. The reasoning is still unknown, though many believe a new guardian has been born. With no other options, he turned to the infamous Book of Shadows.

He approached his mother, the matriarch of the Halliwell Line, and asked for the book. She refused to give all its power to one Halliwell and leave the others without it. Upset, enraged and confused, Wyatt left the manor and was found by a rather...dark man. The Oracle told him that if he was to remove his mother and her sisters from the world, that he would become the Patriarch and could thus imbue himself with the Book. That night, Wyatt returned to the manor and confronted his mother once more, begging her for the book. Her refusal caused a rage to burn within him, but yet he couldn’t bring himself to do it. He couldn’t kill Piper Halliwell; he couldn’t kill his mother. However, someone could. The Oracle arrived behind Piper and stabbed her, managing to avoid her detection.

the charmed circle was broken

His aunts, having been guided by a premonition of Phoebe, arrived to see their sister dead and the two drew a rather obvious conclusion; Wyatt had killed her. Paige sent a bolt of electricity that resembled that of the Elders toward her nephew who blocked the blast with a shield. Consumed by his own magick and rage, the boy threw an energy ball at his more passive aunt only to find a familiar figure in his life blocking the shot; his father. Leo had charged in front of the energy ball and died saving one of his charges. Phoebe, who didn’t have her physical strength about her at this age, rushed for the book while calling out the name of her husband. Coop arrived with Henry (the two had been working on convincing Henry Jr. to ask a girl out) only to find their deaths awaiting them. Henry tried to take down the boy and did so, but a mortal can only do so much against a witch. A blast of energy threw Henry back, breaking his neck and leaving his body lifeless. Paige tossed another blast of electricity toward her darkening nephew as she rushed toward her husband’s lifeless body. Her hands rested over him as she tried to heal him, but no magick came. There was no way to return this dead mortal.

Phoebe called out for her sister to start the spell as Coop used his powers to stop the wicked man. The two Halliwell witches both knew what spell they’d be calling on; the one they had used years and years ago to destroy one of the greatest evils ever known. However, the Oracle had different plans. His athemae found another sheath and Coop fell to the floor, dying at the hands of a rather wicked creature. Though the sisters had started the spell, Wyatt managed to end their lives as they tried to finish the spell. Emotionally destroyed, afraid to hurt their nephew and confused, the Charmed Ones fell and Wyatt took a leap into darkness.

the king has left

The magickal world is in shambles. Good and Evil have both suffered from this. Good magick no longer has a hero or a hope to turn to and Evil must suffer the burden of changing age old taboos about Warlocks and Demons. Killings have become a common thing as beings of darkness try to get enough power to challenge the Warlock King. Good beings are dying at a rate unseen in years and there’s little they can do without the infamous Charmed Ones running about. Mortals are still chugging along, but even they are starting to notice things are changing. The future is unclear and though we know that every hand will change the course of history, the hand that ends this chaos is still shrouded in darkness. It could be yours or that of your killer. Darkness is coming and the time of light has passed. Take a stance and get ready for a ride; no one is coming to save you this time.

It falls under all your criteria! Especially the "small" part. We have half a dozen quite active members, so there's a family atmosphere.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a school of magic for those between the ages of eleven and eighteen. Thousands of students call this castle their second home, and with the extensive grounds, it is not hard to guess why. Some are returning, some are beholding it’s wonder for the first time, but all are still stunned by its high walls and sky skimming towers. However in all their souls they know one other thing that makes them so eager to reach the castle. It is now the safest place on earth. Lord Voldemort’s reign of terror has struck fear into the hearts of many, ripped families apart and is still spreading at an alarming rate. Almost every night the dreaded Dark Mark can be found hovering over a new dwelling and the violence is getting worse.


Everyday the newspapers are filled with more disappearances, more murders and more tales of horror and pain. Everyone clings to their loved ones in hopes of keeping them safe, some have even stopped their children returning to Hogwarts for fear they won’t be safe there either. Yet inside those high walls the teaching continues. The Staff are trying to make a special effort to run as normal but with more students receiving news of their parent’s deaths or kidnaps it is an up hill struggle. To everyone it seems every morning another black envelope is dropped into a lap. However there is one group of people not changed by the outside world, and intent on keeping things the same. The Marauders. Everyday it seems another stink bomb or minor explosion erupts in the corridors and the mood began to lighten in response. The halls of Hogwarts were once more filled with laughter and the happy chatter of teenage gossip as tension eased after a few weeks. The letters even seemed to stop for a few days at a time. The students in Hogwarts convinced themselves they were safe and focused more on their studies whilst their loved ones fought for their lives outside, after all it was hard to think of a war when an indoor fireworks display had just erupted in front of your eyes.

But are they truly as safe as they think? It appeared not so when a scream rang through the air one night, cutting off after a few seconds. Staff and students alike sprung from their beds and raced towards the sound, only to be greeted with a sight that make most want to turn away and pretend it was a bad dream. A body in Hogwarts. It was a small girl, a first year they discovered later, a muggleborn that had been struck down with an Advada Kedavra curse. Terror once more spread and everyone was advised to travel in packs, to not be alone, for the Hogwarts body had a murderer in it’s midst. Despite an investigation the crime was never solved and this has made it all the worse. Now everyone of non-pureblood is terrified of being the next victim. No one is safe inside or out of those walls. Everyone is clinging to threads of hope that are disintegrating with everyday and even the light mood of the Marauder's can't completely ease the tension now. Someone will be next, the question is who?
