Genre:
Modern Fantasy, Gothic/Dystopian Fantasy, Steampunk Fantasy, etc.
Difficulty:
Quite frankly, I’m not the kind of writer that manages to pump out 1000+ words per post like some underage sweatshop worker. However, I do expect some sort of coherency in posts that allow room for me to respond.
Type(s) of Creature(s):
Humans, Vampires, and Werewolves for something modern; for Steampunk, nothing too much more than the Humans/Elves/Dwarves/Gnomes thing, please. I strongly dislike it when members can make species.
Preferred Rating:
PG13 and above.
Preferred Number of Members/Activity:
I’d like it if the community were already set, but as long as there are a few active members, I’ll be fine.
Preferred Time where RPG is set in:
Modern times – or if this is a sort of Steampunk role play, a time when magic is becoming old and its little brother, technology, is growing quickly.
Other Notes:
All right, so I’m actually going to be taking a lot of the inspiration for my list from this post over here, because I’m looking for the similar genres s/he was looking for. Yes, I’ve looked through that topic and no, I haven’t found anything to my liking. Unfortunate, isn’t it?

- a setting that includes some kind of conflict between the supernatural and technology in an urban setting
- real life and drawn PBs are both fine, but not when both are used on the same board
- people willing to chat with new members as well as helping them become integrated into the board
- if possible, I’d love to see some gay/bisexual characters, or at least an openness to them

Deep in the heart of NYC, amongst the high-end shops and ritzy museums lies a secret hundreds of years in the making. The rich and powerful are not as they seem. In fact they are from an ancient lineage, that of the Blue Bloods.
They are vampires who's memories have been preserved through their past lives, making them extremely smart, strong, and lethal. They have more power than you can imagine... but something is hunting them. The Croatans, vampires that feed on others of their kind, hide in the shadows and for now it seems Blue Bloods no longer hold rank at the top of the food chain.

- Friendly • Our staff are welcoming and our members are just the coolest. You should come by the chat and meet us while you browse. ^.^
Active • We've been open since January and we're still kicking. Members come and go like every site, but we usually have around 15-30 people active weekly, if not daily.
Variety • We don't like the cookie cutter Mary Sues and John Does. Psychos, Drug Addicts, Straight, Gay, Bisexual, Pansexual, All around A-holes, Old, Young, Males, Females... diversity is king!
Navigate with Ease • We try to make the skin and set up easy to navigate and organized. Everything is updated weekly so you won't get confused, and if you still need help staff's always on call
Creative Freedom • While our overall board is rated PG-13, there is a mature threads forum where you can be free of censorship and write your heart out
Plot with depth • Our vampires aren't your average run of the mill characters. They are the fallen angels, cast out of heaven and sentenced to being reincarnated on earth as vampires. They live life cycles, but when they reach puberty they start to get the memories of their past lives and realize what they are with the help of The Committee, the vampire undergound of NYC.
Book you don't have to read • While we are based on the Blue Bloods novels by Melissa de la Cruz, you don't have to have read the books to get it. We give tons of information threads for you to get a good idea of the world our characters live in.
Multi-dimensional • While you can get into the vampire aspect of the board, you can also choose to be a human with no contact to the vampires at all. Rpers have done this quite well and had fun too. So this isn't just a site for vampire lovers.

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.

one year.
that was all it took.
the past was forgotten,
the world moved on,
and all was well.
but on the anniversary
of that last stand
the ground shook,
the earth trembled,
and everything changed.
one year.
that was all that was needed
to bring us to now.
the cure will fade
and the dead will walk.
welcome to the
new dawn
we hope you live to see it.

Ok, I saw that post and i thought the same thing i saw here, my site fits. Only problem was my board is new and that specifically asked for not new. You not so much. And thus I offer you Project: Salem;
Set in the near future, Project: Salem is a modern day witch hunt. Rated N.C. 17 for the big kids in us, I think this might be what you're looking for.
... Warning I'm about to post a long plot but personally I hate reading through these things to figure out what's going on so I'm also posting a synopsis. If you enjoy reading long plots then by all means skip the synopsis and read it. I think its quite good but I may be a little basis. And hey if you like the synopsis, read the plot anyway.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Spoiler Alert~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Synopsis: Salem is a secret military agency created to track down, capture witches. The main story revolves around a young witch capture by Salem and trained to hunt her own, the suicide of her former watcher, a Salem agent and national hero, a suicide letter telling all about the secret organization, and one miserable detective stuck between his job or revealing the truth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To whom it may concern,
However I'm not sure whom would be to concern with the ramblings of this old man any longer. But I still sit and write, I suppose we all want our story's told one way or another, for a man with no family I assume this type of letter is the obvious choice... Choices, the ones we have and the ones we do not, isn't that how these stories always being. For me, a man of my position, to speak of such explanations as the god or the devil is out of the question. However I have no choice for that is the only way I can even begin to phantom what I've witnessed during my time with Salem.
How that word brings back memories, ones not even this old corpse can forget. They told me I couldn't speak of it, S.a.l.e.m., the "Secret Association in League towards the Exploration of Magic." That was our official title but I'm no longer sure if I can believe even that anymore. Is what we were doing really exploration? The more I think about it the less I can accept it. No, I've always known somewhere, deep down, that wasn't exploration, it was extermination.
Oh god how many have I killed? How stained are these hands, that fumble to write these lines, in blood? It sickens me, just the thought of the pain I've caused, and the horror of her face keeps me from my sleep: hunting my nightmares. Its gotten so hard to even shut my eyes, that face, that face of an angle and a demon torturing me. Damned hand, stop your accursed shaking how many times will you force me to write this letter. Let me continue before I lose what little nerve I have left.
You may find this next part hard to believe, even after what I've witness I still have troubles believing. Enough with the run around, I've always been a direct man, that's how Ive lived my life, there's no reason to change now. Salem was created with the sole priority to hunt and capture witches. After they were caught they were taken back to our labs where they were probed, prodded, and experiment upon until ultimately there was nothing left to test: at which then they were disposed of permanently.
Then I believe what I was doing was protecting my country like any good soldier, and believe me I was damn good. You see I say was because; a good soldier never questions his superiors, he carries out his orders without hesitation and most importantly he keeps his country's secrets to himself: yes I was damn good once upon a time. But after what I've seen, at the end of my life I've begun to doubt what is most important. Is it being a good soldier, or a good human. I know I'm going to hell for the sins I've committed, there's no doubt about that, so this letter isn't the redemption of my soul but a plea for the rest of the ones I've destroyed.
I can't name them all, hell I can't even count them all, the live I've ended. But one, it stands out, I wish it didn't for it hunts me so, but it stands out. Her name I do know, Anisette Marie, I made sure they spelled it right on her tombstone. Beautiful girl with the saddest eyes I've ever seen. I suppose anyone's would be so sad witnessing there parents murdered before them. She was but a mere child and yet she still stood up to her parents' killers and in front of those monsters she summoned what little power she had to keep us away from their lifeless bodies.
I reacted like a soldier, like I was train to when facing a threat. No matter how big or small you crush it. I remember her name, I remember her face, I remember the weight of her lifeless body in my arms. She bleed the same blood, she cried the same tears, as did her parents. And from that day on I was no longer a good soldier. I questioned, I disobeyed, and now, on this tear stained pad I'm telling the secret: to whomever will listen. Here is my secret, here is my country's secret. I still felt heart beat...
I sincerely wish I hadn't,
Sergeant Major, James T. Fields
Imagine yourself a detective, you stumble upon a scene of an decorated officer in front of you, and a little over here and a some more over there on the wall. He no longer looks familiar but the name still rings clear, how couldn't it its been everywhere in the news. This years metal of honor recipient put a bullet threw his head a day after accepting the damned thing, how the news'll love to get a hold of this story. Sometimes they can just make you so sick you need a ci... right, right no smoking in the crime scene.
As you put that rectangular box of heaven back in you nameless officer one hands you the blood soaked letter in a plastic bag. Great your job just got tougher, "James T. Fields is a national hero... he will be missed dearly... the cause of death was accidental... a gun malfunction..." Gah who would believe that, a decorated soldier accidentally shoots himself in the face while cleaning his firearm. And this letter just put the final nail in the coffin, although you're sure that the higher up's will make this disappear too, they already have there story so why are you here. Well to keep up appearances no doubt. You have that promotion coming up and you'd hate to be passed by again, right?
So you do like a good little flunky should; you keep your mouth shut, when they call the press conference you stand there as the detective heading up the case, you give you sincerest condolences for the loss, and you rule the case as an accident and close it. That's what you'd do right? That's what Detective Avery Nickolas did, or was suppose to do. Stepping up to the podium he clear his trough repeating his sincerest condolences for the loss when his chief by his side nodding in agreement. Just the sight made Avery's stomach turn into knots so when it came time for the ruling he paused before delivering the phase that lunched a news frenzy.
"Ahem, James T. Fields was and is a national hero who's unexpected death affect the lives of many... he will be missed dearly. As of now the cause of death will be ruled as an accidental... gun malfunction.... However during the course of the investigating there was a discovery of possible evidence to a different crime. That is all the information we have until further investigation, any questions please addressed to the chief. Thank you."

There is no war between lycanthropes and vampires. The were-folk do their best to avoid the night stalkers and the night stalkers do their best to keep out of pack affairs. While lycans rule the suburbs and vampires stalk the high crime end of town, they don’t mingle well. Their separation also allows them to remain hidden- hidden from the basic laws and physics of the one dimensional human world. That’s how everyone likes it and that's how it's meant to stay.
Atleast, mostly everyone. A modern Sherlock Holmes, John Alden is known for solving cold cases and puzzling crimes. It was only a matter of time before the missing persons, maulings, and murders would unearth timeless mysteries. John Alden has uncovered the world’s best kept secret and there’s a legion of supernatural beings that will stop at nothing to keep it that way.
John knows that no one would believe that vampires and lycanthropes exist, let alone commit crimes and murders. He also knows that these supernatural beings could never be incarcerated. But he could deal out his own justice, with help of course. The kind of help from docile lycanthropes and a few vicious vampires, has brought many to justice. Only those who have managed to remain secluded and unpunished are the witches. Their conniving and secretive ways remain a mystery to all, save for a select few who have gained enough trust to dive into their corrupted world.
The witches have remained unscathed in the dangerous city of Aldenville. Until recently. A strange case that was assigned to John Alden would just look like an ordinary woman attacked by a vicious dog while out for a jog to anyone else. But John’s knows better. He needs help to figure out why anyone would want to commit the first witch assassination in years. He needs to find it out fast before the witches turn on the lycanthropes. He needs to find it out before his whole city goes to hell.
Will you be brought to justice, or will you be the harbinger? Or… will you just go on through life without knowing about the supernaturals that live amongst you and others like you? You can only ignore it for so long. Even a young child notices when things go Bump in the Night.
At Bump in the night, there is all sorts of possibilities for plots- from joining in the new order, to taking various high-level positions that remain open, the possibilities are endless. Positions open include Coven leader, Witch Council positions, Pack positions.
We're mildly slow moving right now, but with the devotion of the members already on site, things are definitely looking to pick up. Join in now to get the positions that are going fast!

ShadowAngel - September 10, 2008 08:14 PM (GMT)
It all began in 1692. There was so much death and destruction that families were torn apart, and neighbors became suspicious of each other. Many began to see the ruin humans could cause and fled the countries and cities of their youth in search of haven elsewhere. Some found their way to St. Anthony’s Island and the town of Little Salem.
Those who were considered mythical beings joined together for protection and survival and so began the Treaty of Three, a treaty designed to protect the humans as well as the vampires, the werewolves and the witches.
The rules were simple enough: no harm was to come to any human; no human should ever learn the existence of these groups; and no member of the treaty was to purposely hurt another member of the treaty. Any violation of these rules meant death for all those involved.
Well, strange humans with the hell-bent intention of making myths extinct have begun arriving on the island. A vampire belonging to the more peaceful of the bloodsuckers’ families has been murdered, and found alongside an innocent human. And the Treaty has been broken by the ‘child’ of one of its original creators.
A war has been brewing beneath the guise of peaceful efforts, and things are about to explode. You’re not going to want to miss the next boat to

The rules were simple enough: no harm was to come to any human; no human should ever learn the existence of these groups; and no member of the treaty was to purposely hurt another member of the treaty. Any violation of these rules meant death for all those involved.
Well, strange humans with the hell-bent intention of making myths extinct have begun arriving on the island. A vampire belonging to the more peaceful of the bloodsuckers’ families has been murdered, and found alongside an innocent human. And the Treaty has been broken by the ‘child’ of one of its original creators.
A war has been brewing beneath the guise of peaceful efforts, and things are about to explode. You’re not going to want to miss the next boat to

I think you'd really love Carpe Diem; we are a modern "supernatural" fantasy roleplay- we have five races currently but members do not make them and they're based on common fantasy creatures- werewolves, vampires, etc. We're not steampunk, unfortunately, but hopefully enough to your tastes otherwise. (Oh, and if the plot page on the website is broken, forgive me. Something's corrupting it, I haven't put my finger on it yet.)

Maybe Dark Desires is for you... it's modern and fantasy'ish with vampires, and a very active (especially chatting) community, besides the fact that the membres are generally active posters. There is definetly conflicts and our members are usually very welcoming towards new ones too. We do have a few gay/bi characters, not tons of them, but they're they're and characters like that are not rejected :)
The Lord of Darkness, Dracula, seems to be impossible to kill. In the year 2007 he rose from the dead once more, and with just one thing in mind - revenge over the God who denied him death so long ago, and the mortals who have been hunting him for centuries. Now, in 2008, the Dragulian Empire is for the first time truly expanding, with many countries submitting to vampire rule... and with the help of blood from a witch born with Dracula’s blood – Charlotte Heller, granddaughter of Abraham Van Helsing – the Vampires are rising like never before, even able to have children, and walk in daylight. But not even the Lord himself is safe in these new dark times, where more Vampires seem to want a piece of the world, and the Slayers are attempting to fight back. Dark Desires is inspired by the movie Dracula 2000 (but not the sequels), but also referring to many other myths about the greatest living vampire of all times. It is a good idea to have seen the movie, but not a requirement to be a part of our world.
Join us in the new dark times, that are certainly increasing – be a part of the new world which our Lord of Darkness is trying to create. New threats are lurking around every corner, every night, and who knows what will happen if someone try to remove Dracula from his throne – which happened only just. What shall you be in this recently chaotic world, if not a simple Human or one of the Vampires? Perhaps you’d be a Token, supporting the Vampires in their quest for perfection? Or maybe the opposite, a Slayer, trying to restore order in the lately chaotic world? Dark Desires contains a wide variety in characters, and is in general a very friendly community, welcoming even the more odd character types. There is much to see and explore, especially with the world coming close to a change it has not seen for centuries. If you long to know, then the only remaining question is not if, but when you will give in to your Dark Desires?

I would like to invite you to Shin Hyakuji High School, an anything-goes, anime-themed high school RP. Going strong since 2004, Shin Hyakuji High School encompasses a wide spectrum of genres and accommodates different levels of role-playing skills; the community remains fairly active even during non-vacation periods, and we have helpful staff and a friendly community. Posting is done on an own time, own target basis - feel free to roleplay whenever you can, at your own pace.
----
The plot overview is as follows:
Hyakuji for much of its existence has been a sleepy town in Japan, dwarfed by both the major cities in the country like Tokyo and also even by regional cities, the largest of which Kaimu is far larger.
Throughout it's history it has suffered both tragedy and success. The town's school has had a particularly eventful history. It originally started as a manor of the Hyakuji Family. When their servents rebelled the manor was burnt to the ground, killing the entire family.
While the area around the manor grew into a town, the house itself continued to be left alone and run down. Eventually it was purchased by several wealthy investors and became a private school. The school flourished for several decades until it was burned to the ground in a mysterious fire that started in the library.
More time passed and some said that the school was cursed, but the Japanese Government eventually stepped in and purchased the land at a cheap price setting up a high school. It decided to use extra funds to develop a school for students not only from the area, but also to attract students from all over the world who had developed special powers. Hiring rather unique teachers, it aimed to create a truly special place, unique in all the world. Matching this unique and global-apealling situation Hyakuji High School was set up apart from the traditional Japanese School System in several aspects.
Hyakuji ended up being just that, each year growing more and more exciting than the next.

CtS may be a bit different than what you are requesting but I feel that it might be something you are interested in. We have active, fun members and we would it if you could have a looksie.
The world is caught in a vicious cycle, and left to
the new generation are the sins of the past.
Out of greed and sloth, a new enemy was born.
The dragons rose from beneath the earth, woken
to find their own murdered for reasons unknown.
Their wrath destroyed the world, leaving humanity
with only one hope for salvation.
Considering themselves the new master race, Psionics
took their proper place as the reluctant protectors of humanity.
Equally powerful, the dragons and Psionics fought for years.
Each coming to a standstill, neither gaining any ground.
Using forgotten labs, experiments were created, designed
to take over the fight.
While the children of humanity were being born as second class citizens,
treated as little more than slaves to the people who saved them,
a small group fought for freedom. With too many failed attempts
and spies in their midst, their only prayer is to find allies among Dragons,
the Suwani people and their clever nésemóono.
Allies that could potentially change everyone's fate.
It is a weak world in a flux of change.
Just remember,
No one is safe - everyone is at risk.
Friendly staff + Encouraging members =
An addictive and fun time for all!
We are all caught up in Chasing the Storm
Will we ever have time to remember our dreams?

Our site is a freeform rpg. We do not limit the role-play with main plots but give our members the opportunity to explore exotic cultures, create characters of many walks of life and race, as well as indulge in the depth of our magic and Steamskills systems.
Welcome to the Steampunk world of Legend Makers.
Seeing as we have a lack of main plot line, here's a bit about our current political situation:
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.

I think you might want to check SoN out. We're an original modern horror RPG with very open character possibilities, an adult standard meaning 18+ players only with an inter./advanced writer ability preferance (preferance, not rule), a good solid little community with friendly members and a very open policy on bisexual/homosexual (or what have you) characters.
We've got a story arc in motion currently concerning a Demon crime lord and the police precint as well as a few drifters who wound up in the middle of a conflict between the two. lol, It's looking to be quite interesting.
And of course personal/player driven story arcs are always accepted as well. ^^
