It may be stretching the humanoid a bit. It's a god RPG... But everything else matches up pretty well. A bit small though...

Have you ever wanted to play god? Do pesky people annoy you so much you just want to kill them in a spectacular way? Well now you can! At Meddling Immortals, a literate RPG, we give you the chance to do just that. You can visit the towers of Jahata, the coral cities of the Mer, the steaming deserts of Gath, the eternal revelry of Silviv, and even some strange planes that defy imagination. And you can do it all without worrying about every robber or sword-swinging hero that comes along. If they annoy you, just kill them!

Why can you kill with such impunity, you ask? How? Because you are half-god, half mortal, that's why! As an immortal demi-god, you have power wizards dream of when smoking poppyseed oil. Not to mention that every human is NPCed. They're practically meant to be destroyed!

Let your dreams (yes, including your nightmares) come true at Meddling Immortals!

We're sort of modern sci-fi ish. We're just starting out, about 8 accepted characters so far but everyone is really active, and I'm definately dedicated to the site.

We all go about our business in life, interacting only with those we’re forced into contact with. The same pattern persists every day, unchanging, monotonous. But what if fate intervened? Sometimes in life, things happen for no logical reason. There are inexplicable events that change our path in huge ways, and more importantly, change who we are as people.

We were all just strangers, trying to get by; headed onto a plane to fulfill whatever was the next tiny stitch in the pattern of our lives. None of us knew each other, at least, not in a personal way. We might have seen each other here and there, in the airport, on the streets, never really committing faces to memory. We meant nothing to each other then, because we had no reason to interact. No one else on that plane was a part of life, except for those we were traveling with, and so up until that point we didn’t matter to each other. Our conversations were nothing but white noise to pass the time until we landed at our destination, at which time we’d probably never speak or see each other again. At least, that was what we expected. But what really happened changed our perspective entirely.

We never made it back to Los Angeles. Instead, our plane plummeted from the sky practically before we knew what was happening. We became stranded on an island that we could make neither heads nor tails of, with no contact to the outside world and rapidly dissolving hopes for rescue. But we weren’t the only ones stuck on that island. There were others like us, stranded there, just wanting to get home. And then there was a group of people we didn’t even know existed for a while, who had a completely different agenda.

But regardless of what we would face on that island, the question remained: why were we there? Some said that it was mere coincidence, but others aren’t so sure. Because some of us believe that there is a greater motivator than coincidence. There we were, a plane full of strangers who knew nothing about one another. But now, we live together, survive together. We have been drawn together by a force that plays the greatest hand in directing our lives. We are the Fated.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The Fated is a semi-canon roleplay based on the television show Lost. The canon characters will be available for use, as well as original characters. However, we will differ from the show in that our plot on the island will not be the same. There will be no separate tail and fuselage sections. There will also be another group of castaways on the island that were there before the crash of Flight 815. Everyone is free to reinvent the story of their character on the island and how they interact and survive there.

Our board is fantasy and for advanced writers only. It's small at the moment, though we're growing, and I have a nice core group of members who are posting regularly. A few of them are close friends of mine, and we plan to stick together and keep writing on the board indefinitely - so I do not foresee the board dying anytime soon. The characters are mainly humanoid (though a writer could make a non-humanoid character if they wanted to). Also, at this point the board is new enough that accepted newbies are tackle-hugged and welcomed ^_^.

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.

200 years have passed since the immortals were sealed away. In the generations to follow, they exist only in tales to amuse the children of kingdoms such as Tortall. The country's capital, Corus, is filled with citizens from all walks of life, each living, from day to day, as well as they can manage - some more legally than others.

The palace is abuzz. Not only has one of the Conté princesses become betrothed, but her Carthaki fiancé has come to Corus – for all that the wedding is half a decade away. With him have come banquets, balls, a tournament, and scores of newcomers, from courtiers to slaves. Not all of the visitors, however, have arrived to wish the couple well; any good spy knows the best time to move in.

Too, mages bring bad news. Suggestions of a poor harvest come autumn leaves city residents unsure which would be worse: higher taxes in order to pay for food imports, or a winter starvation. With such uncertainty in the air, many have begun to turn to the Court of the Rogue for help – but at the moment, the Rogue isn’t the happiest of places, either.

Outwardly, the country is at peace. Inwardly, though, old prejudices die hard. While the war with the Yamani Islands has since ended, the Yamani who make their home in Corus still face residual bitterness, making a hard life even harder. Word of skirmishes along Tortall’s southern border reaching the streets has the potential to create another public enemy, Mithros slay any resident who suggests the true enemy might lie within the city’s walls.

In a place such as this, everything can change at a moment’s notice, and never shall any day be ordinary in
CORUS

We're an X-Men movieverse game. There's a big plot that just got off and running and a couple of side-plots going on. New and small, but as active as you want to be (I've got two or three ex-MU*ers who'll post all day given the opportunity). New people are always welcome!

“We’re not what you think. Not all of us.”
“Tell that to the ones who did this to me.”


One man sees injustice and plans for war. Another sees intolerance and teaches peace.

One woman wears the face of a murdered man even as she plots to free his killer from prison. Another struggles against dreams of death and fire that threaten to consume everyone she loves.

One father labors ceaselessly to heal his son. Another transforms his into a weapon.

And, as an assassin vows revenge upon the mutilated body of his only child, a gentle soul is sent on a mission of death that will set the world ablaze.

"The war is coming, Charles, and I intend to fight it ...
by any means necessary."

"And I will always be there ... old friend."


X-Men: Eclipsing Binary is a PG-13 movieverse rpg beginning just before X2 and having a strong emphasis on writing, characterization, and plotting. We are canon-only, but accept x-characters from all three movies, including those appearing only in cameos or mentioned in the computer files.

Hullo. I think you’d be interested in sweetestPOISON.

We’re fantasy and contemporary horror, I do believe. All of the RPers are intermediate to advanced and we have vampires as well as humans for you to play. You can choose to be a vegan vampire (the ones that drink animal blood) or a malkavian vampire (which are the ones that drink human blood) as well as a slayer, blood doll, or mere mortal. There are canons to choose from and we’d love if they were taken, but they aren’t mandatory. You’re welcomed to have your own OC running around the board.

We’re rated mature because I don’t censor the writers, but the topics that are a bit on the racy side are marked as mature. We’re not extremely active, but there is a new post on the board about every other day. We’re really small too, only about twenty-three members, though maybe only nineteen are actively posting. Some are away on vacation and what have you. It’s a modern rpg with the year being around 2017, but nothing has really changed.

The admins and the members are very welcoming to new faces. In fact, we absolutely love them! So, take a peak around the board. And if we’re not right for you, I hope you do find a place to call home. Have a good day! ^_^

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

Crimson orbs peered out through the cascading darkness as he emerged from the shadows, his pale hands outstretched before him as he lured his prey into his dark embrace. The moon hung high within the heavens, its tranquil glow radiating down to the world beneath it and reflecting off of his pale skin as he beckoned the woman into his arms. She was beautiful. She was dressed in a tight fitting dress which accentuated her perfect curves, different articles of jewelry scattered about her being. She stood fairly tall, perfect black hair flowing down and around her shoulders, as if framing her perfect face; eyes, nose and mouth. None of these aspects were flawed in any way. Not too big, nor too small, not crooked, nor offset. It was as though she had been favored by some form of deity; which ever preferred, in every single way…

However it was what was in her eyes that had interested Benjamin. He had encountered many flawless women in his many years of life, so that little fact had not drawn out his interests so much. What had drawn Benjamin to this woman was the distraught, hopeless expression she held in those dull blue orbs of hers. She was near perfection, but despite that, the look in her eyes showed just how much she detested her existence. It was truly miraculous the things one noticed about another when they just took the time to look.

His arms closed around her waist as she rested her head on his shoulder. Her pained eyes stared off into the darkness, though they were attracted by nothing. She was in a trance-like state that Benjamin had placed upon her. She did not object or resist his touch in any way, and Benjamin raised his pale hand to her face, running his fingertips along her tanned cheek as her arms moved around him. His other hand moved to pull back her hair, exposing her beautiful neck. He bit his lower lip in anticipation as she held onto him. Her pulse echoed in his mind as he gazed at his target. He could feel it. He could hear it. The blood which flowed through her veins by the constant, rhythmic contractions of her broken heart. He leaned forward, pressing himself into her bared neck as she voluntarily leaned her head off to the side. His cool lips kissed her, nipped at her, and finally bit her.

His fangs plunged into her fragile flesh, piercing her jugular and eagerly swallowing the metallic tasting substance as it freely flowed into his mouth. The woman didn’t flinch. She didn’t react at all for that matter. She remained silent and docile; her head perched on his shoulder as he continued to feed on her. He greedily consumed the woman’s blood, her plasma, her life. Her grip around his waist weakened as he gorged on her blood like a gluttonous beast, and finally there was nothing left of her grip at all. Her hands dropped limply to her sides and her knees buckled, standing only due to the powerful grip Benjamin’s single arm still held around her slender waist. He released her once he finished draining her of a majority of her blood, her body falling to the dirtied ground beneath them.

Now, as she lay dead before him, her perfection did not falter or waver in the least. The healthy peach color she held in her cheeks faded away until her tone matched that of Benjamin’s paper white complexion. She was like a porcelain doll, and now, within those dead eyes, all feelings of grief and sorrow evaporated. Of course, he had not killed the girl out of pity. What was once his heart had died long ago, and any such feelings along with it. He was a predator now. No more, no less.

                    He emerged from the alleyway, the bright streetlights stinging his sensitive eyes. He cursed under his breath, so high from the rush of the hunt that he didn’t ready himself for the momentary shock. He sighed, raising his hands and rubbing his eyes in irritation until the stinging sensation subsided. The body remained deep in the alleyway, hidden amongst the garbage and shadows. He, unlike his clan-mates, was not a messy eater.

Hi there! I think that we at Slayers Doppleganger have what you want! Where a Buffy RPG but our plot twist means that the tidbits you need to know about the show and characters are in either our Plot or our Canon Character list. We are brand new and though we don't have many members at the moment we already have a small group of members who are active. So we definately would welcome a new one to add to the group. Please consider us things should even start to improve with our first Out Of Character event beginning also.

I Wish Buffy Summers Had Never Come To Sunnydale


It was with these words quite trivial ones really when you think about it that Cordelia Chase unknowingly changed the entire world forever more. You couldn’t blame the girl no not really, how was she to know that her anger, her hurt from her ex-boyfriend Xander’s betrayal was strong enough that it lured Anyanka the patron Saint of scorned women herself to the small town of Sunnydale and that Anyanka had disguised herself as a new student called Anya? No she couldn’t, but dearie regardless of blame thanks to Cordelia mistake of wishing for something so life changing in front of a Vengeance demon the world is changed forever more and now everyone is going to have to deal with the consequences. Well Cordelia certainly had to face the consequences of her actions when shortly after being plunged into a new Sunnydale without Buffy Summers she was killed by Willow Rosenberg and Xander Harris. Two of the most dangerous disciples of The Master, yes that’s right The Master, Wait didn’t you already know? Well I guess I am going to have to go back and explain a little bit about this new world.

The change began about two years ago with The Harvest. You know that feast in The Bronze by The Master’s vessel Luke which was designed to bring him back to power with the strength Luke received after each feeding, the one which was stopped by Buffy Summers. Well without Buffy living in Sunnydale The Harvest was successful and in the eyes of The Master the night of his glorious return. Ah yes many of the horror struck teenagers who spent that night at the bronze watching as many of their fellow classmates were killed can still remember watching as their killer suddenly collapsed leaving nothing, but a pile of dust in his place. Oh yes you see what the Master didn’t tell dear Luke was that the final ingredient for his return to power was the life force of Luke himself. Needless to say the crowd ran from The Bronze as quickly as possible. While they were running deep beneath the streets of Sunnydale The Master finally left the mystical church he had been trapped in for the past seventy years. He instantly claimed The Bronze the place which lead to his glorious return as his home and after several days of conflict forced any supernatural opposition in Sunnydale to accept him as their leader.

So life in Sunnydale slowly but steadily changed over the following two years. Though The Master never directly attacked the human leadership in the town with the frightened teenagers telling their parents what had occurred that night in The Bronze and the subsequent rise in the amount of deaths in Sunnydale though the adults didn’t believe the cries of Vampires they instead believed that their worst nightmares of gangs invading the town had come through instead. This was only confirmed in their eyes by all teenagers above a certain age completely changing their dressing style so that they only ever wore duller colours such as grey or black. In direct response to this they tried to control the situation by introducing a number of new stricter policies all students below the age of eighteen were to return to their homes straight after school. When home they would be allowed to leave for a few hours but had to return by nine PM sharp. Anyone who refused to comply with these rules was considered to be apart of these gangs and chucked out of their homes. Thus began the new social structure in Sunnydale with authoritative parents using this change to their advantage, whilst more liberals one allowed their children to stay out as late as they wished.

And now we find ourselves two years later at the point in which Cordelia Chase created this world. Shortly after her death as we all know Rupert Giles attempted to summon the vengeance demon Anyanka while Buffy Summers the slayer at the time went to face The Master at The Bronze. However as we all know Buffy was unsuccessful and was killed by The Master thus marking the end of the most promising slayer since well Nikki Wood. However what you probably don’t know is that Rupert Giles also unsuccessfully managed to persuade Anyanka to change the world. Easily overpowering him with the Supernatural strength granted to her as a vengeance demon she decided to spare the mortal so as to not leave a trail back to her, but instead wiped his and everyone else’s memory in Sunnydale of hearing Cordelia speak about the real world thus extinguishing the one real hope of returning things to how they once were.

Meanwhile halfway across the road in Jamaica shortly after the death of Buffy a new Slayer Kendra Young was chosen. She was a quiet girl, one who would easily follow the orders of the council without question, however her tenure as a Slayer was cut terribly short as after only a few days she was brutally killed by the Vampire master Kakistos. This death resulted in the activation of a unpredictable, but powerful new Slayer named Faith Lehane. After only two months of training she has been shipped off to Sunnydale under the orders of the watchers council to deal with the threat of The Master and with luck kill him once and for all. However at the same time The Master is reaching the final steps in his plans of opening the Hellmouth and returning the old ones to the world to reign once more. As a result he is summoning all members of his order The Order of Aurelius to Sunnydale including the Vampire master Spike, Drusilla and Darla.

Elenlond - July 24, 2008 09:12 PM (GMT)
Elenlond might be worth checking out =D! We're an original medieval fantasy Rp and our staff and members are all helpful, very welcoming people - we like our members to feel like they belong. Anthros do exist on the site, but we only have two to date, so it's not overrun with animals or furries. If you're interested, by all means check us out. We'd love to have you =)

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.

pathogenicoma - July 24, 2008 11:52 PM (GMT)
We're fantasy. Intermediate to advanced, with a PG15 rating. We're pretty much a strictly humanoid rpg, there is one race of playable creatures, but they aren't a huge part of the game, and come with human companions. So, they are sort of like furred sidekicks! lol

We're pretty small right now, having just reopened earlier this month, but activity is growing and we tend to mob new people, so I'd say we're welcoming. We're also very dedicated to staying alive. Hugely so. Hope you come by for a visit at the very least.

This is not Earth. There is no savior here, and no one will bleed for your sins.
But they will bleed because of them.


This is A Rage Against Godhood.

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.

The Demon-Blooded, who were first born.
The Children of Caine, who came second.
The Celestial-Blooded, who were last to be created.
And the Half-Blooded, whose weak lines are a mockery to the pure of blood.

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.

Fantasy myth & religion based open-ended forum rpg.
Rated PG 15 for violence, language and adult content.

bloodless soul - July 25, 2008 03:55 AM (GMT)
A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...

The galaxy has returned to a state all too familiar to history. Five thousand years ago the empire was born and the rebellion came about, now five thousand years after the rebellion and the struggle between the rebel and imperial forces, the galactic empire has been reborn. Now as large a superpower as that of the galactic alliance, they are back in the running for galactic domination.

Unlike five thousand years ago, the mandalorians are now a key factor in the events of the galaxy. They themselves have amassed a sizeable force and have persuaded a few brute races to join their cause. An enemy of both alliance and empire, they stand alone, in defiance of any sign of order.

The Jedi order has split into three different orders and have grown from there. While each order is not fully aligned with any particular faction, the three jedi orders seem to be in favor of the galactic alliance, save the gray jedi who are known to have jedi fighting on both sides.

The sith, while also having been around throughout the ages, are still in the shadows; waiting, watching, and planning to move when their time is right. Under the one known as Venalus they seem as if they will be able to be able to make their move.

Criminals, criminals, oh the criminals. Crime of course is up everywhere and affects everyone. However, the criminals of the age are proving to be smarter than those of old, as they expand in their criminal industries. While some criminal organizations aren't entirely criminal and others are, there may still be some form of crime in the future should most of it be shut down by the authorities combating it.

The common people, or freelancers, are just the people making their own way in the galaxy. They don't have any real ties to anyone or any faction in the galaxy. It is most commonly said about freelancers that they are just out for themselves and could all but give a damn about anyone else, but thats just what other people say.

The aura of the force surrounds everyone and everything. Whether it draws you in or not, you are a part of the force and it is a part of you. Only you can make your own destiny and fulfill it. Choose wisely for there are many paths before you.

The Aura of The Force Surrounds Us All

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.

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.

We're more than excited to get started on BP! We're a supernatural site that's set in the future, though technology hasn't changed ALL that much (it's only twenty years or so).

Here's the DL!

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.

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.

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.

the tale has yet to be told

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 there. Wanna give us a go? We have humans and hybrids/humanoid types only, so there are no animals, just people with animal qualities. So far there aren't any of those, so if that bothers you, you actually don't have to worry yet. We're set in the future, and can be classified as pretty much Sci-Fi.
We have two admins who are both dead set on keeping the board in order and going strong for as long as possible.
All of our members are nice, and willing to post with newbies. :p
Check us out, and give us a shout if you're interested. If not, we understand, and we'll go back to our corner wishing you luck in your quest.

A few short weeks after the siege at Jam Pony, the Transgenics are living freely. With their own fort and a bio-hazard sign to stop trespassers and the mobs, they can finally spend time in the light, lapping up the sun, or the life, they always wanted.

The scene is set for a happy life, unbroken by those who hunt them, but they know that can't last forever. As news spreads about the Transgenics and their nation, more and more angry citizens are getting involved. Transgenics from all over the country and cropping up and joining in the fight.

However, agencies sent to abolish them are depleting, as they realize the job is just too large.

Max is running the nation, with help from Alec and those others who stood by her. Just as things started to look up, their new world seems to have come falling down around them. What will they do now?

Their freedom will not come easily, but with the help of their friends new and old; the Transgenics will fight through to the end.

not everything is as it seems
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - -

»this world of ours holds many secrets. for generations they’ve been carefully hidden and we continued our lives in ignorance, oblivious to what was under our nose. now everything’s in jeopardy; now everything is about to be exposed…

»we are shapeshifters. two species of the same race. those who follow a human heart and those led by an animal’s. we hate each other and have been fighting the same war for over thousands of years, perfectly balanced in power. now the odds are different. and it’s all because of tyrander.

»tyrander. a man so powerful, he claims the gods bow to his wishes. his takeover was so quiet, it almost was unnoticeable. almost. he started in africa, working his way to power and soon combining all the clans of the anthos within the african nation. he then spread to europe and asia. his takeover was not hostile and his ideas won him many supporters. and that’s one thing that can be said for the man: he keeps to his word.

»now it’s 2008 and america has been relatively untouched by his developing empire. his south american bases are secure and he’s begun moving north… at risk of exposing everything. but oh, he doesn’t care. tyrander’s ultimate plan is to have the anthos metakinos rule the world with humans as their personal slaves and the faunos wiped from the earth for good. the only people standing in his way are the faunos themselves and the few underground rebellions, started by the anthos against his dictatorship.

»as his empire closes in, you better pray for your life, little humans. you better pray for something to happen, and soon… unless, of course, you want to go from the top of the food chain to the bottom.
