Meliora, a classic fantasy RPG « Result #1 on Jun 18, 2008, 1:49pm »
. . .There Are Many Paths to Tread. . . In a land governed by royalty and divinity, how will you choose to live? Will you devote your life to your deity, serving them as a priest or priestess? Will you live independently, giving up the protection of the divine? Will you reside within one of the cities of the eight under the watchful eyes of the god you trust? Are you one of the extraordinary who can earn the right to share in the powers of the gods as a mage? There are many choices to be made, for in Meliora, all things are possible.
. . .The Power of the Eight. . .
Long ago there was a battle with the mighty Leviathon that changed Meliora forever. The greatest mages of this time joined their power to destroy the Leviathon, but paid a great price. They perished. Their power was lost, but the land was restored. Years later, individuals from across the land began displaying powers greater than those of the mages that restored Meliora. They became the eight deities of fire, water, earth, air, day, night, time and fate. Since then, some deities have come and gone, but the spirits of nature have chosen others to rise in their places. The Eight are the most powerful beings in Meliora. Your fate is in their hands.
. . . Nothing Lasts Forever. . .
Meliora has prospered for many years, but all good things must come to an end. The Leviathon proved that tragedy can strike when it is least expected. It is only a matter of time before peaceful Meliora is, once again, shaken to the core. Will you be the change you wish to see, or will you step back and watch as others control your destiny? Even the smallest person can change the course of the world. Every soul counts.
Chicago Nights: Gothic. Horror. Fantasy « Result #3 on Dec 29, 2007, 5:38am »
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight Ive no choice but to follow that call The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all I pray everyday to be strong For I know what I do must be wrong Oh youll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
It was many years ago that I became what I am I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb Now I can only show my face at noon And youll only see me walking by the light of the moon The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast Ive the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest
Shes innocent and young from a family of means I have stood many times outside her window at night To struggle with my instinct in the pale moon light How could I be this way when I pray to God above I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love Oh youll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
Moonlight ..... Fear Darkness .... Blood Evil .... Death
Are you afraid of the dark? Sleeping with the lights on? Gripping that pillow tight? Wait....what's that sound you hear? Who is that at your door? Trying to get in... coming after you.....
Darkness has fallen on Chicago, evil lurks in the shadows. Waiting... watching.... seeking souls to steal...... What are they? Who are they? Who will protect the innocent?
A man steps out of the shadows and yet is still shrouded in darkness. Is he your savior or your executioner? Will you fight to save your own soul or will you become another lamb to the slaughter?
No longer are the creatures of the night content being hidden away in shadows and nightmares, they want out. They want your place in the world, they want to "live". And if that means taking your soul to accomplish this? Then so be it.....its survival of the fittest in the most elemental sense.
The battle between good and evil is being waged nightly in Chicago and it is unclear who or what will emerge victorious. Will you join the battle? Will you fight to protect the innocent? Or will you join the evil that is lurking?

Aeternus Sapientia: Memento Mori « Result #4 on Dec 22, 2007, 8:43pm »
Aeternus Sapientia: Memento Mori
A Harry Potter RPG that guarantees to blow your mind. We're offering something that no one else is. Step away from Hogwarts--we tore it down. Step away from University--we sank it. Voldemort is long gone, Death Eaters can't risk showing their faces and Harry Potter is now just a house hold name.
After the final battle, Harry Potter went into a coma for almost a decade. He woke to find his face had aged, his friends had moved on with life and so many of those people he held dear were dead. Only now, with no burning scar, Harry Potter is no longer the centre of attention. Everyone is.
There's something lurking in the shadows...something that makes Voldemort look like a mild annoyance. You see, while Purebloods were busy giving everyone else the evil eye, Muggles became a problem.
Muggles became a big[/size] problem.
Where do you fit in a world that hunts wizards? In a world where people are mysteriously vanishing and no one yet, knows why. Where do you fit in a world that's falling apart brick by brick?
We're an old game, revamped. Created in 2004, Aeternus Sapientia has seen many great players pass through its doors. Why not join them? Memento Mori is a new chapter in the game's life and with a solid track-record behind us, we're not going to up and die any time soon. We're a canon friendly game that focuses on the lives of adults--everyone grew up...they had to. We not only offer a unique setting but we also give you the chance to play muggles or wizards.

[align=center][/align] Now listen close to what I have to say, this is a tale of heroes and villains, cruelty and justice. How lives were changed in a battle to save a planet, how lives where lost due to people's mistakes. How love and destiny were acted on. And how one person's delusions could bring so many together in many ways.
Those that wanted to protect the people of Gaia and yet wanted to control them. Those at the ShinRa Company wanted only to give people what they wanted, but with everything there was a price.
Loyalty and commitment were the prices to pay for comfort.
Pain and suffering were the prices to pay for any that stood up against them.
On such group stood against the very corporation that offered anything and everything people wanted. SOLDIERS for wars, power for homes, medicine for the sick. The one group of eco terrorists, who didn't know it at the time, were destined for big things. They exposed the so called protectors; they dug up the crimes so craftily hidden that when it came to the attention of the man that owned the whole set up, he called a private war against them, one act of so called defense was to drop the Plate onto the Slums.
People lost loved ones.
Families were destroyed.
And a Nightmare returned to rid the plant of all life.
The planet used its own defenses to stop what was happening. The Weapons rose up, the eternal protectors created for the sole purpose to destroy any threat to the planet. Enemies could be found on all sides, ShinRa, AVALANCHE, Sephiroth, even the fears and doubts in the back of the heros' minds.
But while enemies where gained and lost, new friends came and went.
For awhile it looked like ShinRa had backed away, while its hold on Gaia was strong, no one would have seen what was yet to come until it was too late. They had made their own weapon, known as the Sister Ray--something meant to destroy the weapons. Like all things though, something went wrong, when they fired at the Diamond Weapon the creature returned in kind.
That’s when everything went to hell.
The ShinRa tower was destroyed, the young president caught in the blast, like all empires ShinRa fell in a blaze of fire and destruction bringing death to many more. Those that served him, the infamous Turks dragged Rufus ShinRa from the wreckage and then they just disappeared leaving the burning remains of one life behind so many more could be saved.
It is safe to say that the world never came to an end, otherwise who would be telling this story now? While we sit here reminiscing about what was, shouldn’t we be looking at what is to come? Well, I’ll let you work that one out. For you have seen the rise and fall of a company that tried to rule the world. Seen the mistakes of mans desire for power turned back on them.
-- unknown author
Note: ShinRa Inc takes place during the two years gap from the game and the movie Advent Children.
Ever since the 1600s the Yakuza has run strong in Japan... becoming one of the most influential crime syndicates of our time. Today, the Yakuza have been compared to the Italian Mafia though the Yakuza are much worse and less compassionate than their Italian counterparts.
Cherry Blossom enters deep into the Yakuza structure, allowing players to be one of four Yakuza organizations... pitting themselves against the other groups... though there is much more than just that... to many degrees, it is unknown how often that a sort of "Romeo and Juliet" setting may take place in which case there are many inter-organization relationships that are kept in secrecy... on the other hand, there's bloodshed and brutality amongst the groups.. causing for even more drama especially when the two aspects meet.
A nation, united in the eyes of the world, though divided underground has come under fire... the police have done all they can to quell the Yakuza situation, but I have failed countless times to the point where they are giving up (or have been bribed)....
How will this nation survive? Who will rise from the ashes and unite the underground? Will it ever be united?
No matter what... a civil war has broken out in Japan... and things are going to get bumpy...

Witch Hazel « Result #7 on Dec 21, 2007, 11:01am »
Advertisment for Witch Hazel
Quote:
Founded in the late 1800s, Witch Hazel has become known for its charities and its open arms approach towards those usually looked down upon in the Wizardry society. Created from the innovated vision of a woman is now known simply as Witch Hazel. She hoped to create a school that would incorporate a well educated system that would not turn their backs on students just because they were different.
The first years of the school found that most of the students were Squibs: meaning wizards or witches born with no foreseen talent for magic. This came as no surprise since the school was created in the honor of one of Witch Hazel’s good friends who happened to be Squib. Over the years, though, word spread of this novel school and more applications began to file in.
From Muggle born wizards and witches, who had missed their original opportunities to pureblood wizards and witches who simply came into their powers too late in life to attend wizardry schools. Even students from Mudblood parenting between wizards and other creatures such as vampires and werewolves have been known to seek guidance through this school.
Because of limited resources in the face of so many candidates the school was forced to designate an age range. The minimal age being seventeen (17); anyone above this age would still be allowed to apply for a position as a first year student. To better incorporate the drastic influx in age differences the school was officially designated as a college system for wizards and witches.
Yet even the strict and sometimes overstress rules governing the acceptance of students into the college which have survived the days of Witch Hazel her self cannot compare to the harsher and much more vigilant leadership of the school now. Word has spread to those willing to listen that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has risen again.
While it is doubtful that you-know-who’s shadow of evil will cross the gardens of Witch Hazel, the professors are on their guard for any signs that may lead them to believe that even He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named’s power may reach even here.

Memories consume Like opening the wound I'm picking me apart again You all assume I'm safe here in my room Unless I try to start again
There was a point in time, in the past, when the world was advanced beyond its years. Much farther than it is currently. One would not be lying if they were to say there were flying cars, and clones could be made. Magic, or rather sorcery existed then as well. The Lugooize Family was the most powerful during those years. The years before people now days even thought existed. The Lugooize's believed the human race reigned superior to every other living thing in the universe, much like today. They cared little for cats, dogs, fishes, and birds. Needless to say, they were quite surprised when the animals began to revolt, if you would.
The time in which these awful events took place was known as Depravation Era. In those times, people had only their despair and sorrows with them. After the war, many of the cities flourished, while others stayed small. Unknown too many, the Lugooize's survived. They survived and are now rising to power. Many of the locals are keeping to habit and refuse to rise and fight against them. There are those who are untrue to the decedents of the Lugooize's and are attempting to fight. For them, it’s a matter of life and death. For if the Lugooize's rise to power, there will only be them, and all others will bow down before them.
These creatures are breaking the habit, fighting for what they want in life. They want the world to know no sorrow; no despair, no hurt, no misery. They plan on taking back what truly belonged to them in the past. They want death to the Lugooize's.

welcome to brookstone, a quiet town located just along the empty border of America. as much as the border is busy, this little town is just barley brushed against with the massive tourists waves. The families here are very close to one another, a lot of them have been rumored to hace cross-married and produce their own cousins. but this isnt the reason why this town is avoided, or ignored. brookstone is a quiet place, with little to do. the mall they have, is very small, only seven stores within it. the cinema is very old and cheap, and usually theres no fee to a friday night movie.
but this sounds brilliant, a few people have said, as they settle in brookstone. but what they dont know, is that the town has its own history. founded by a mad man, brookstone evolved into a small populated town, and grew from there. things began to go wrong when people began to go missing, a few years ago. no one is sure who is where and why they've left, but when they return, things start go return to normal. or as normal as it'll ever be.
it is now the year 2007, and teenagers are starting to rebel. the quiet town is fed up with its sad little off-the-map reputation, and tired of its no blow no action setting. teens are rebelling, adults are giving up; the sad little town is breaking down. will you help out in the rebellion, or will you stand by and watch?
Silentville High « Result #12 on Dec 12, 2007, 11:56pm »
Silentville High
Silentville High is located in a rapid growing community. The beach close to the city. The mountains and the lake and the forest all a short distance away. The shopping and fun places to see in the city and downtown area. Silentville used to be a small town but in the past few years it has been rapidly expanding. Silentville's borders have moved over into another town. The other highschool had to emerge into Silentville High so in the process the students of both schools felt invaded. In the result two gangs were formed. One named the Zodiacs whom are very into improving the community and are a really great group of people just a lot of drama. The other group known as the Flyers are more of the harder and not such great community people. Most of the Flyers are misfits, druggies, drop outs, just basically the people that everyone figured would be in a gang. But on the Zodiacs are more of the people that have a great chance of having a great and bright futures. Could and can these two groups ever understand each other or will they continue on with this hate that should not be there? Can just a few people make a difference or not. But what would happen if two people from other sides of the gangs began to fall for each other? Will people ever learn to be kind to one another or not?
The Flyers have always been the type to get what they want with not too much work. The Flyer leader, Oliver Bryson, considers the Flyers as a family. But when the Zodiacs come around into the business and into the Flyer's way. Things start heating up. The constant battle to prove that one is better then the other one. The fact that they are trying to claim the highschool in which both groups both now have to share. These two groups have been raised completely differently from one another. The Flyers from the families of just making it by then the Zodiacs living the rich and famous life. The constant battle to throw the bigger party and to claim what is what. The Flyers and Zodiacs feel like only one can stay in this twon but which on will it be? Who will change sides? What romances will form on this intense and dangerous time for almost any teenager. The Flyers may be young but when it comes to safety and are strong believers of guns for safety, Sex for comfort, drugs for a thrill, and a crash party for a little treat for the Zodiacs. The Zodiacs on the other hand are people that try to improve the community and get disgusted by how the Flyers just help dirty it up and the Zodiacs try to show some reasoning towards the Flyers at first but now many people believe that the Flyers are up to no good and will always be that way. THe Zodiac leader Katelyn Cooper tries to show those who aren't a member of any gang to join the Zodiacs. The Zodiacs just want to bring harmony into the community even if that means making the FLyers ran away.!
Update!!!!
HOMECOMING is starting. How can the two gangs share this ultimate spotlight? What will happen that will make this supposedly perfect moment in time turn for the worst?
The Concept In a distant, nefarious future, the Earth has been reduced to a handful of cities, and aside from these futuristic Edens, has become a godforsaken wasteland. Athens, the first new civilization and by far the most advanced, is a gilded prison for its citizens. A corrupt and depraved Government ruled by a fiendish monarch has turned what was once an unblemished paradise into a veritable nightmare.
In these, the most arduous times the world has seen since the third World War, there is but a single method of escape: sleep. All the worries of a broken past melt away once the eyes close and the breathing slows. In fact, one Athenian felt so emphatically about it, that he designed a device to ensure that not a single night’s sleep would be lost to nightmares of the real world. What he didn’t realize was that this Dreamscape device could, with the help of Magic not known to our world, lock-in to a mystical land of a separate realm.
Now, those rare and fortunate few that have been chosen by this… Magic… can break away from this life and experience the mystery and magic of Aspera. For them, every single night has become a Dream Quest. “Dream Quest inspires the heart, mind, and soul” -Elliot Swashenbuck of Aspera Weekly

Today it’s our earth and for the most part it follows the history taught in the schools. The difference is that it’s now the year 2120. The shifters and vampires have been around almost as long as man himself. No one knows exactly how they came into being, nor if there any still alive from such an ancient time.
The earliest know accounts of either are passed down in legends. The very few shifters remaining from the 6th century (500s) have tales of the different shifter clans warring amongst themselves for dominance. The vampires only have a few documents saved from the fifteenth century. (1400’s) Much was lost during the inquisitions and witch hunts that constantly occurred during this period. It was also during this time that the wars between the shifters and the vampires began. Fought in secrecy, they were just a few battles among the thousands in the ebb and flow of time.
In 2025 the situation overseas finally escalated into full blown war. Eventually it became World War III. After fifteen years it came to an end….. and a new war began. The vampires and shifters, disgusted by the devastation left in the wake of the war, decided to stop hiding and take over. As you might expect.. their alliance ended very quickly. In the end all three were fighting for control. Thirty years of war.. an entire generation of humans growing up with the conflict before a truce was called. Fifty years have passed since then and the peace has held. Old grudges continue to drive conflict, but it is mostly on a personal level or, rarely, a small ‘gang’.
The world isn’t a fun place to live in for most. Those who are rich and/or powerful still have their comfortable lifestyle. There is a small section of society that manages a decent life working, but a majority of people scrape by in poverty.
This is the state of the world… your world. Try to live in peace, try to stir up conflict, or simply try to survive. It’s your choice.

Plot
No dog really know what created World War III, but it has been going on for five years. A dramatic change started to happen over the period of a few weeks. Planes started to fly over the city and suddenly there would be random outbursts of gunfire. Unfortunately some dogs lost their lives to bullet and other battle related wounds. As each year past more and more military activity came to the city. Finally now you can hardly go more than a few days without seeing a human dressed in cameo holding a gun. The older dogs tell stories of days when the city wasn’t in such a mess, but those days seem long gone.
Three packs hold the lands. The Old Bunker, The Jumbo Bomber, and The Abandoned Mansion. Since the war tore the city in part the three packs get a new start on life. The dogs of the city are waiting for someone to step up and take charge whether it be for good or for evil. The city is anyone’s game, but are you ready for it?
