Welcome to Era, a once-prestigious kingdom, and now a mere shadow of its former glory. Rebel forces have dethroned the monarchy, aiming now to bring down the nobility. Ambitious Nobles meanwhile vie for power, though others simply wish to keep what they have. Others are Loyalists, believing some former-royalty could end this anarchy. Then there those who see a prime opportunity, and others who don't care at all. Some form Gangs, fighting for personal gain or unique causes, while others are more interested in the resurfacing of Shadow Pokemon. And naturally, there are those who just want to ignore everything and live their personal lives. There are no clear lines in Era.
Where in this chaos do you fall?

Be respectful, friendly, and PG-13. Listen to staff and be nice to each other and guests~ Lower end of PG-13 for the box, too, generally, please. People can avoid topics they don't like, but the box is just kind of out there in the open.

Name:Jacob Stone | Age: 45 | Gender: Male | Player:Dare
Jacob was destined to lead his family's buisness with high hopes of wealth and glory... which were cut short by the unexpected pregnancy of his then-girlfriend. While "there" for his son until the boy grew up, Jacob largely turned away from responsibility and instead focused on his new job... with the Rebels. Today, he is extremely high within their ranks.
Name:Sofia Brooke | Age: 13| Gender: Female | Player:Elayne
Though technically a teenager, Sofia acts notably younger, retaining an eternal childlike innocence. She never runs out of energy, and loooves to talk to everyone, though the recent bombings have humbled her a bit. When her best friend Harvey ran away from home, Sofia decided an adventure with him sounded fun, and has been on the road ever since.
T H R E A D
Homeward Bound -------------------
While on the way to visit her brother, Justice lets her Togekiss take a break in the Tanglethorne Jungle and is greeted on ground-level by Seles and her Ditto, Duke, who has taken the form of a human. They introduce themselves and, as the conversation continues, Justice tells the woman where she's going, which prompts Seles to mention that she, like Justice's brother, is also a knight!
As the weather starts to pick up in an uncharacteristic snowstorm, the group looks for cover and finds a small hut in which they can take shelter and set up camp. Seles tries to make it more comfortable by releasing her Arcanine, which causes long-supressed memories from Justice's childhood to start coming back. While she is able to quell them at first, they prove too much and the girl eventually breaks down from her fear of fire and Fire-types. As she hallucinates that the hut has caught fire, Seles, Duke, and the other Pokemon present all try to calm her, to no avail.
Eventually, it occurs to one that if they can just find the Togekiss's Pokeball and release her, perhaps she will be able to calm the poor girl. After a brief search, they are able to find it and the Togekiss successfully comforts her trainer. After some time of letting Justice calm and offering as much comfort as she can manage, Seles mentions that she wants to meet someone as well: her cousin, who was once captain of the royal knights. The difference is she has no idea where he is and is searching for him rather than just going to visit as Justice is. Eventually, the storm dies down and they start to head out again, ready (they can only hope) to face whatever is in store.

The Multiverse Project « Result #5 on Apr 16, 2013, 3:58pm »
The time is near future, and the 'Earth' has become very different from the one we are used to. Technology and civilization have progressed at a more rapid rate while in many ways resembling our present day Earth. In this world, this universe, many fandoms are crossed but more fused into one big Multiverse. The supernatural and non-human are very common and have been known to humanity since early times. Demons existing since early the Feudal Japan period (Inuyasha series) have adjusted to present times while the Youkai Academy (Rosario Vampire series) is present, helping young demons in the background.
Saiyans are not extinct, though they have scattered to other planets and seen positive change under another leader. The Shinobi Villages of the mighty Elemental Countries have become more of a power on the world stage after uniting toward common goals. Beings from different Multiverses entirely sometimes find their way here in a variety of ways, for better or worse. Characters make or break their own story, either following their original destiny or going their own path to leave a new mark. What will your story be?
Offers:
-An organic world. The Multiverse is not just thrown together; it bears an in-depth history including the fusion of universes and how they relate to the Multiverse as a whole. Includes past histories and how they differ from ours.
-A chance for characters to be part of larger, expansive plots at their leisure or stick to their own.
-The option to use a stat system or a more free form style. The former is easy enough to understand while giving enough guidelines to work without being too vague.
-Add to the lore. If you stick around long enough, your character could do things that will have their name printed in history books. Or just suggestions for things on a larger scale.
-Friendly and easy going staff.
-A non-static, growing world. Time gradually flows, changing the world bit by bit to give the impression of a living world. Including posting the current year.
-Structure
-Pretty much all character types are welcome, from most any fandom (I.E. books, games, T.V. shows, movies, etc.)

I WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING.. JUST FOLLOW ALONG!.Our story takes place in the year 2025, in a place that alot of you may have heard of. Yes, it is the heart of San Fransisco City. Somewhere where life is as busy as life gets. People live there lives everyday running to and from the city. There is so much life here that sometimes people can become overwhelmed by everything that is going on, that they forget there own roots. Where did they really come from?. Who are the people that helped them get to where they are today?, and most of all, what sacrifices did they have to make to get there?.My name is Melinda Prudence Halliwell. I am the descendant of a long line of witches, and the daughter of a legendary witch herself. Piper Halliwell. My mother whom had fought very hard to have me is the person who I respect the most, and my father is the man of the house, Leo Wyatt. However this story isn't about only about me, it's about everyone. I was named after my aunt Prue Halliwell who was the head sister of the witches and even taught my mom some tricks.Let me explain from the beginning. This story goes all the way back to when my Ancestor from the 1600's was born. She was raised normally and enjoyed life. Her name was Charlotte Warren, and with time she fell in love with a man named Lawrence Cutler, in time they had a child named Melinda. Now for the longest time Melinda lived in an old cabin and was an amazing child. She lived, loved, and cheerished life like no other. When one day she figured out she could do things other children couldn't, casting spells, making potions, find missing people by scrying for them on a map. However this was only the beginning, soon she recieved her true gifts; Telekinesis (the power to move things with her mind), Molecular Immobilization (the power to freeze people and objects), and Premonition (to see events of the past and present). However when the witch trials started she had no choice to go into hiding.Then the 17th century was almost near and she gave birth to someone she could finally teach to do magic, Prudence Warren.With this birth the family line became stronger and Melinda recieved a vision, showing her the most powerful witches were just a glimpse away. In only a few more decades three women witches would bring the greatest good the world had ever seen. These three witches were my aunts and my mom. This is where the story moves foward alot. In the 2000, Prudence Halliwell my aunt who I was named after, my mom Piper Halliwell, and my aunt Phoebe took on the roles of witches. Though it was hard to do so they persevered. Not to much longer the new witches realized they had missed there most serious attack, Shax, and this resulted in the death of my Aunt Prue.Two years later a long lost sister was found, making my mom Piper and my aunt Phoebe powerful again. Her name is Paige.The trio was complete. They fought for eight more years and in the year 2025 my aunt Prudence Halliwell who died was returned to us and I was named after her. Now there is a new battle on the Horizon for my generation. My mom and 3 aunts have retired and now the children have to fight the evils that are still out there. Will you be with us or against us?.
Everything was going great. Exactly how it should have been in the world of Earth-X. Following the events of the New 52, 52 new earths were created, but this one was special. Dubbed Earth-X by the mysterious Creator he set forth the events that would allow this world to evolve much like it counterparts. From the depths of the abyss rose great heroes, whose sole purpose in life was to fight their evil counterparts. Of course when they grew weak working as a single unit that is when they founded the Justice League. Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, The Flash, Green Lanter, and Martian Manhunter were the founding members of this group. With their combined might they were easily able to stop all threats from destroying the Earth.
Earth,2012
Years passed, and their numbers grew to incorporate a much larger group of heroes, and while this increase of numbers bolstered their strength, it was ultimately their downfall. With most of the League members taking residence up in the space colony of the Watchtower they soon fell prey to a catastrophic event. Four of the greatest villains in all of the universes history teamed up, and devised a plan that would wipe the Justice League out of existence.

Project: MYTHOS « Result #16 on Mar 3, 2013, 2:30am »
The year is 2530.
It has been five years since the Unified Earth Government first came into disastrous contact with the overpowering might of the Covenant Empire. Dozens of human colonies now lie in lifeless ruin, destroyed from above by the powerful weapons the Covenant wields. In space, Covenant ships dominate, easily overpowering the UNSC’s Navy with little effort. Planetside, UNSC military forces fight a desperate battle against overwhelming odds.
But there is hope.
New weapons now dictate the flow of battle in favor for the humans. These machines fit into two categories: Arm Slaves – 9 meter-tall walking tanks that wreak havoc on any lightly-armored foe foolish enough to stand in their path; and Mobile Suits – 17 meter-tall behemoths that crush Covenant forces wherever the battle is joined. As yet, their numbers are few and far-between, but the group is steadily growing and evolving as their machines do the same.
Welcome to the universe of Project: MYTHOS, an ambitious new RP forum that takes the disparate stories and technologies of Halo, Full Metal Panic!, and the Mobile Suit Gundam metaverse into the overarching plot of Halo. Do you have what it takes to send those aliens packing with their tails between their legs? Then suit up, get in your mech, and get out there, soldier!

Legacies Reborn « Result #21 on Feb 24, 2013, 12:47pm »
<span style='font-family:Georgia'>
BASICS
Naruto Legacies Reborn is a Naruto Text based Role Playing site with a plot that occurs in the distant future of the manga. It is a custom site with custom characters, we do not allow people to re-create canon characters. Although, there might be plots that involve battles with them for fame and glory.
Anyways, it was started by a man named Oda or Odazzle, former Admin on a certain Naruto site and with the help of his other fellows, the site was made. Our graphics have been done by the amazing Kon, who also did the graphics for many other sites.
THE STORY
Once upon a time, there was a young boy. He would grow to change the world of the shinobi as we knew it. He would be the first man since the Sage of Six Paths to learn the names of each and every Bijuu and fully master the power of the Nine Tailed Fox. He'd End the Fourth Shinobi War by means that seemed impossible. The name of this boy was Naruto Uzumaki, son of the Fourth Hokage. This story woul d be told down through the ages in shinobi academies and read to children by their parents like fairy tales. Surprisingly, this war led to a time of peace, that lasted for one hundred years. It was a time of union between nations, civility in the world. But, like all good things, it came to an end when a Tsuchikage rose to power. The seventh Tsuchikage was a power hungry madman and like all ambiti ambitious men, attempted to claim power that he had no right to. In secret, he grew his militia and forces, sent spies to other nations, and infiltrated the five great nations. When ready, he struck. First, he attacked the Village hidden in the Sand and because of their unpreparedness, the Eighth Kazekage fell. But, with her last breath, she ordered a call for the Fifth Shinobi War. Within a period of nearly an entire week, the Village hidden in the Sand was taken and seized by Iwagakure's forces. They assimilated the village and violently coerced any remaining shinobi into their army.
With Iwagakure now planning to take steps to control the rest of the shinobi world, the three remaining Kage met within the walls of the Hidden Leaf and formed their own pact and plan of attack. But, somehow this information was leaked due to Iwagakure's breach in the intel of their opposers. And so, the night before the attack, the Tsuchikage struck again. This time, they went for the Hidden Cloud Village. That night will always be remembered as the Dust Cloud Assault. It was a night of so much bloodshed and when the Raikage was cornered, he was forced to submit. Unlike the Kazekage who fought to the death, the Raikage let himself be plan of taken as a prisoner of war, thus shattering the hope of the Cloud Village. As Iwagakure's forces moved in, word arrived back in Konoha and Kirigakure. So, these two, the Hokage and Mizukage, had enough. Preparing their most secret powerhouses, Kirigakure's legendary Seven Swordsman, and Konoha's elite ROOT ANBU, in conjunction with their strongest shinobi, the remaining Great nations took charge.
Kirigakure went for the Cloud Village, waging war on Iwa's forces stationed there. At the same time Konoha took back the village of the Sand. These wars weren't easy battles and took these shinobi hours upon hours of fighting before relinquishing these villages. It was amazing how strong Iwagakure had gotten in secrecy...ama amazing, yet fearsome.
The battling had been so intense, that once the villages were free, Konoha and Kiri both rested in the freed nations, only sending a few of their shinobi back home in order to recooperate and With the troops renewed, all four villages came together and took on Iwagakure. The Hokage and Mizukage both took on the Tsuchikage in a battle that became almost as legendary as the fight between Madara and Hashirama. In the end, the Hokage delivered the killing blow and with the ending of the Tsuchikage's life ended the war. But, this war was not without cost. By the end, all of Iwagakure was in shambles. Flames ravaged all of the buildings that lay in ruins. Dead bodies plagued the ground and Iwa remained lifeless. The win was empty because such a tragedy could not be prevented. So, the Hokage and Mizukage gathered their forces and freed the Raikage from imprisonment and the kage returned to their respective lands.
Now, twenty more years ahead, much had changed. New shinobi were rising up again and a new generation was ready to take over while Iwagakure still lay in ruin.

IT'S been two years since Dante brought down Mundus and destroyed the hellgate, allowing for the curtain that held Limbo back from the human world to fall. Mundus' control over the human population ended and for the first time in years they started to wake up from the lax and lazy state that he had put them into. For the first time in years mankind was fully awake and the world they were waking up to was one that took no pity on their confusion. Demons, monstrous creatures that wanted nothing more than to eat anything that breathed, were able to easily slip through the tattered remains of the veil to cross over into the real world.
All of mankind, however, was not caught unprepared.
They went by the name of 'Hunters' and they were an informal and only loosely connected group that ranged across the world. Working in the dark and outside of the law, these people dedicated their life to studying demons and all other monsters that went 'bump' in the night, learning how they lived and how they died. With Limbo torn open their work was rapidly increased and not that long ago they had stumbled across a bit of information given by a demon desperate to not be killed: Mundus was not dead. Not... entirely.
Years and years ago it had occurred to him that there was a possibility, small as it might be, that he could die and without an heir. His reign could end and this simply could not happen. In order to prevent this the demon king devised a plan: He picked children from all over the world and marked them with a piece of himself, with his own blood. These children had nothing in common with each other save for the fact that they were given Mundus' blood and, through that blood, the demon king would always have a way to bring himself back. The blood also had another side-effect of warping the children both physically and mentally, granting them special abilities while slowly chipping away at their sanity.
