hello, everyone! Sadly, after much consideration, I’ve decided to discontinue Ascendant for now. While I did have planned a lot and wanted to shoot for almost too much, I might have miscalculated its “popularity” (for lack of a better term) and its lack of applicants. I can’t thank you all enough for joining and being wonderful on every step of the way. Your dedication means so much for me and all your characters were wonderful to watch and get explored. Please do stay in contact with me if you’d like. For now, if you’d like to find out about future (smaller projects) I’m tackling, please feel free to join findrps discord server, where you can find me as well. (you can join from this post’s source link). Farewell and thank you!

          August 20th 2056 – New York City’s barriers break

A zodiac cusp refers to the imaginary line that divides consecutive zodiac signs. When any planet is on the verge of entering the next astrological sign, it's said to be on one of astrology's 12 cusps.

a scream followed by a large body hitting the ground with full force, no blade or gun in sight... There’s a change among the Elite as more and more questions arise. The Beast’s death wasn’t just a common occurrence, a murder in a metropolis, with too many people at one place at all times. He was rich, good looking and intimidating to say the least. Tall and frightening, the Beast knew his way around New York City, knew whose corners to avoid and how he made others fear him with a simple look. None of that mattered in the end and those who used to be untouchable are now reminded of their mortality. 

It’s a race to find answers, a reawakening of old habits, espionage and manipulation. With each Syndicate having their own conflicts within as no mob completely trust the other, they struggle to clearly communicate, leaving mobsters to fight for themselves at times. The cusp begins, an event not many had predicted would actually happen. The Elite rearranges itself and forms new alliances -- while Syndicates remain as they are now, they seek alliances rather than make an enemy out of everyone. To keep face, most Ascendants chose to come forth with their powers, to pretend they’re just like everyone else: wolves in sheep clothing. 

With the first alliances forming, enemies begin to emerge, as well. The more Ascendants expose themselves to the media, the more of what used to be sacred and a secret gets revealed. Names, powers, smiles hiding the ugly truth of where they belonged to, what Syndicate they truly belonged to. This is an era of questioning yourself, others and their ideals. 

August 28th - the launch of Ophiuchus, the snake [-bearer], shocks the Elite and New York City as a whole. Unaffiliated and the alleged 13th Zodiac, its origin stems from speculation and from deep within the shadows, with no face nor name linked to its origin. The snake whispers ugly truths and deceives the world, changing the big apple as we know it. Ophiuchus is the reckoning, not a warning.

Cusp of New York marks the end of the art of ascending and begins a new chapter with smaller plots. After the death of the Beast, Syndicates have been reminded of their mortality, forcing them to consider new alliances and enemies. Characters are forced to make their own assumptions and who they’ll trust in the long run. Syndicates now have the chance to unite or align however they want, all while a mysterious figure, Ophiuchus, the 13th Zodiac, reveals the ugly truth of everyone and everything -- Ophiuchus will work as our gossip and news blog and will launch soon.

hello everyone! The main will be on a semi-hiatus until April 17th while I’m on vacation. I will try and answer questions and accept apps, but I won’t be able to post new story details! While our event still goes on, players are free to post memes and work on additional, closed starters. Feel free to form unexpected alliances as well while suspicions may resurface and break apart former alliance. Syndicates, feel free to discuss your next step, now that the Ascendant hunt is on.

[ascendant-rp]

possible alt. fcs for the seductive? ☺️ thank you!

Sure! Some alternatives for them are Ryan Destiny, Kiki Layne, Ella Balinska, Kat Graham & Karrueche Tran!

[ascendant-rp]

for the preformer, may i ask for a few more alt. fcs and possibly what their line of work could be? - i just want to be sure im going in the right direction for this muse! thank you in advance!

Sure! Some alt fcs for them are Liz Gillies, Adeline Rudolph, Aslihan Malbora, Bruna Marquezine, Hunter Schafer (only as NB ngc) or Kristine Froseth. I think they'd be a great dancer, ballerina, olympic-level artistic gymnast, so something more 'sporty', but you definitely don't have to go that route. There's no right way per se. Since this is merely an outline of what could be, I'd love to see your interpretation of them. The only thing that's set in stone are the relationships mentioned for them.

[ascendant-rp]

what are your most wanted skeletons at this point?? :)

re: other message - absolutely no worries! Apart from them, I'd absolutely love to see THE SELF-ABSORBED, THE DAUNTLESS & THE DIEHARD !

[ascendant-rp]

is there any possibility for ascendant siblings? 😫

Yes, there absolutely is! I'll try to set up a wanted connection form soon, so there's a chance to get certain wanted people, so definitely keep an eye out for that!

[ascendant-rp]

are the ages a 'hard' suggestion? i'm interested in a character but the fc i'd like to use is much older (50s) than the ones listed

character ages are somewhat set in stone, however their FCs can be 5 years younger or older (so a 5 +/- rule). Please let me know who you had in mind or if I can help in any way.

[ascendant-rp]

Is there an initiation process for joining a mob or becoming an ascendant?

Yes! I've answered a similar question over HERE. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out again! ♥

[ascendant-rp]

are there members (npcs, of course) of the mobs that aren’t ascendants? I was thinking that my character would have a parent who was previously affiliated with the mob, but wasn’t sure if they would have had to also be an ascendant? xo

Yes, absolutely! There are quite a few who have no powers. Just like the actual mafia (think Cosa Nostra or Sicilian Mafia), each one of ours follows a certain hierarchy (see here). From what I imagine, Ascendants must be at least Caporegime in terms of rank, while soldiers or associates, the ranks lower, are human/non-Ascendants. So that definitely works!
