Hello lovely roleplayers! Does any of you know a harry potter forum rpg where you get to advance your character through the years?

[kinch-knifeblade]

I'm in complete love with this idea, just wanted to let you know that! It will do for amazing characters, and overall plot development. I think what's really beautiful here is that while there have been generations of daemons and lycans since the Big Reveal, and so things changed very quickly for them, everything must be evolving much more slowly for nosferatu, and much more than other species, many of them might still be very connected - really, or just emotionally - to the nonviolence movement. I'm just throwing ideas around, but you've made my love for and understanding of the nosferatu grow hugely! <3

Alright, so! After seeing cleorawr's post about a omnipresent Nosferatu corporation, I got to thinking about the origins of the supernatural's (very rocky) assimilation with the rest of the world. I imagine my character, Amos Barrow, as having helped orchestrate the Big Reveal and been...

So about the Human supremacist group! I've had some thoughts, and I’d love some help developing this!

This is a known organization, but the sort of known group that most people have no way about how to get in. No knocking on their doors, “I hate supernaturals so much” and ask for a membership card. Their members are either born into it, or met the right (or wrong, as you choose to look at it) people

The organization is not only for human supremacy, but despises augmentation. Their praise of the “pure human” is almost religious, and they take pride in being the last of their species, almost a sort of twisted resistance.

Still, a lot of members will be augmented. They will probably be part of the lower layers, but very rich and augmented would probably find their way up.

In the front, they make campaigns, shelters for abused humans, reunions, cultural events praising the accomplishments of the human species, give talks in schools. Members in high politics might be known for being active against supernatural rights, either by trying to pass reactionary laws or by trying to sabotage new ones.

Anonymously, they are responsible for various acts of sabotage, targeting supernatural corporations and anything augmentation related, terrorism and hate crimes. These are probably carried by the lower members, possibly augmented. In general, they create an overall spirit of hate, which inevitable ends ugly. Their youth group is known to be sadistic and aggressive.

They have their hands in everything. If you’re involved, you’ll probably get that job you wanted, the medical treatment you should have waited months for, and those little treats, spectacle tickets, a weapon license, diner reservations at the last moment. Imagine it as a connections network.

I don’t know about initiations and creepy rituals, though it could be fitting due to the almost religious aspect of the thing. Thoughts?

I have Eve as a spokeswoman for the organization, but this is open to all sorts of conservative human characters, of any social status and position, augmented or not!

I would also like Eve to be involved with a group of problematic youth members, some sadistic rich snobs. These can be NPCs, but I’d love if someone would be in with this idea!

Is this possible at all? Am I going too far? If so, Angee please tell me! And if anyone else has problems, tell me too, I have no problem in stepping back or toning down!

So, any ideas, thoughts, whatsoever, tell me!

Eve Blackford, Human, Spokeswoman for the Human supremacy cause, 22 

They say she blocked out the memory because it was too traumatic. Maybe they are right, and it is there, buried deep in mind so she won’t be scared. Still, her fists close and her eyes water with burning terror every time the unforgiving red light of filming cameras flashes before her eyes. Eve is afraid. She cannot remember ever having been raped by a daemon. Hell, she cannot remember ever having spoken to one. Yet, she is afraid. As her lips part and, almost mechanically, the accusatory words start flowing from her mouth, Eve is terrified. Those are real tears down her cheeks. And time after time she is made stand, pose, speak, weep. A beacon for justice. A reminder of why Humanity must fight. 

Do it for her.

Jarred Greaves, Augmented Human, Corporate Lawyer (pro bono if you know where to find him), 27

Jarred is the careful reflexion of money. Obsessively, he takes it further and further. He needs the newest model, the latest technology, the most beautiful artwork – with every upgrade he becomes art himself, strength, power. Born in the dark alleys of New Victoria, he’s the living, breathing picture of how one can build their way up to the shimmering skyscrapers. Brains, work, but more than anything, being at the right place at the right time. It was luck what he had and the others didn’t, and as the consuming self-doubt darkens his thoughts, Jarred buys the newest upgrade. His way of saying he earned this. And, when the ever watching eyes of corporate law are in need, Seth goes back to the darkest alleys, grudgingly, and offers his untouched mind to the selected few who deserve it but cannot afford it.

They are Humanity.

From above the ruins of self-proclaimed humans, twisted and tainted by the excuse of self-preservation, they observe and judge. Long ago have humans crossed the line between what were the acceptable casualties of an inevitable battle, and what are the greedy necessities of terrified minds, losing their humanity to bits of steel and software. So they remain, untainted, generations of pure blood, flesh and bones, finding their way up New Victoria, the faces of money and power. One day the city will be theirs, the ones among monsters.

Above are the ones who watch, underneath, hands are red with blood. Industries must be slowed down, messages must be sent. It has to be made clear that Humanity is not weak, and that it’s made of flesh and bone. When it seems out of hand and delusional once-humans cry terrorism, they know it’s less so than the maiming and corrupting of generations. They are the pure, the pristine, the guardians. They are the ones who fight for Humanity with the ways of muscle and brains. If action once had to be taken so that Humanity would strive, they acted now so Humanity would not be lost.

An inconvenience that so many bodies have been wasted away in steel and wires so that they could live, but when the time comes for Humanity to take its place, they will be the only ones left.

—- I would love ideas for a name for the organization! And anything else, really.
