Ongoing Auditions for a Blackfyre Princess OC & other claimants to the Iron Throne!

Preparing to start Season 1 - Impending Tides

﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊﹊
At the turn of a century in the year of 400AC, the realms of Westeros had known a Blackfyre rule for a century. Marking such an occasion, the "Dragon’s Feast" was held in King's Landing, the biggest event in recent history to mark both prosperity & the coming birth of Princess Alysanne’s heir. However, tragedy struck proceeding the event as the King & Named Heir passed away, unravelling the line of succession with ill fortunes.

The Lord Hand has now mantled the leadership of the Seven Kingdoms, looking to establish his Regency Council to provide stability for the Realm. But many fear that the Hand of the King will use this opportunity to usurp power for himself & waging a religious war against the Old Gods.

All the while claimants to the Iron Throne now look to the vacant title, ready to move to take it by various motives & means. Whispers of a great civil approaches, a riderless dragon & those we see opportunity to rise are all abound. The Realms will bleed, good men will die & the vultures will come circling.

Do you have the strength & cunning to take the throne, or will you crumble & disappear into the annals of history under the weight of the Crown?

《Welcome to Tokyo...》

⤖Hundreds of years ago, the world was blessed by an infant from which light erupted. As he was a literal beacon for those in the room, so was he a beacon for the future of mankind. As time passed, more and more were born with superhuman powers, from flaming hands to bird heads. Though none knew what to do with them, this changed.

⤖ In present-day, "Quirks" dominate the world. Earth has become a comic book, of heroes and villains, might and tyranny; what was once a sign of a Good Samaritan has turned to a business, a mere occupation of society. The world has become a peaceful place, with villains skulking in the dark and out of sight, only able to eke out a living in the fringes of this vigilant world.

Or so it would seem...

The winds blow and the stagnant air must change. Those who view the status quo as a rotten construct, clutched tightly by the hands of only the few who benefit from it are stepping out from the shadow and into the light. The Red and Black standard decree the new order that they will impose upon their new world.

A Fresh Start.

Will you fight to uphold the peace, or fight to tear it down, and start anew?

Those who first wander across the old ruins and mossy torii don't often think much of it other than a beautiful sight in the ancient forest they stand. Some will even walk under it and around the collapsed shrine behind it, with nothing strange occurring. However, some others feel drawn towards the old gate, like some invisible string is gently tugging at their soul. Soon they find themselves stepping through the gate, and stepping into another world on the other side.

══✿══╡°˖✧✿✧˖°╞══✿══

After stepping through the gate, the whole forest around them seems to come alive with glowing plants and luminescent bugs, and the once broken down building before them has now turned into a house for welcoming newcomers. Turning around, the old torii looks fresh and clean now, and not another soul is in sight. If they continue following down the path, they will eventually come across a small cliff, were a whole village and beautiful shrine stretches out before them in the valley below. Anyone who's made it this far without turning back knows deep down they've found a peaceful place.

══✿══╡°˖✧✿✧˖°╞══✿══

The Sequestered Shrine is an 18+ OC ERP server, focused on providing a comfortable atmosphere to all of its members. Our server is themed around a Japanese shrine and village, with just a little lore sprinkled in for flavor and fun.

Roleplay Central is dedicated to helping writers and roleplayers connect with like minds! Our mission may be to connect people around the world and let their creativity shine, but for the last few years, our Discord has grown into something more.

Our 15+ server offers both one-on-one and group advertisements to help you find your perfect partner, as well as a whole section of writing help channels to encourage you to become the writer you've always wanted to be. We boast useful sources, writer's block busters, and a section to ask your burning writing questions where someone is always around to answer! In addition, we post a daily question to make you think about your characters, your writing style, and how you tackle a story. As a perpetually active server, there's almost always someone around to chat with, bounce ideas off of, or relax from a stressful day.

Four centuries ago, the Sundering shattered the Veil between worlds, unleashing Riftstorms, strange new lands, and horrors never meant to walk among mortals. The Empire that once united the realms fell in days, and magic itself became unstable, granting immense power, but at the risk of madness, mutation, or death.
Now, in the year 412 A.S., Eryndor is a land shaped by ancient grudges and fragile alliances. The Five Realms have grown into distinct powers, each with its ambitions, secrets, and dangers. From the holy crusades of Veyra, to the unyielding forges of Durnholde, to the shadowed politics of the Sylvari Enclave, the savage independence of the Wild Reaches, and the lawless chaos of the Veilscar, the world teeters on the brink of another great conflict.
In this living, breathing world, your story is yours to shape. Will you rise as a hero of the people, a cunning schemer in the courts, a mercenary seeking coin, or a wielder of dangerous, Veil-touched magic? Will you join the cause of your homeland, or carve your legend in defiance of kings and gods alike?

✮ ALMOST ALL CANONS ARE OPEN!

The Killing Game is finally over...

Whether you fell victim to its horrors or managed to claw your way to survival, those dreadful days are behind you—

or so you thought.

But the moment you closed your eyes... You woke up to a familiar—

❝ Ding Dong, Bing Bong~ ❞

❝ Good meowing, everynyan! I know, I know!— you’re thinking, “Wait, shouldn’t I be dead by now?!” Nyahahaha! We can't have that, now can we? After all, you’ve got a TV show to star in! ❞

And just like that, in a twist crueler than fiction, you’re a celebrity in a world that shouldn’t exist.

Some of you have injuries that are similar to the way you have perished— others appear untouched.

But it is all the same— You’re trapped once again.

And this time, the stage is shared with the very murderers and victims you once thought you’d escaped.

Welcome to Gensokyo a land of beasts, fairies, and all those other idiots~

An odd fantasy world with it's ups and downs, with silly antics but also seriously concerning diets. This interpretation Gensokyo is meant to be more of a balance between both the light hearted versions and darker versions of Gensokyo. There are meant to be the more light hearted game side of things- but there are also still the more grim implications and events that come with living in a land of yokai and gods, as well as having reality bending sages in the background. I want there to be freedom to compeltely explorer both sides of gensokyo (without going into shock value land for the darker aspect in parricular).

This server also aims to handle members and characters in equity- and do it's best not to prioritize anyone over another. Everyone in a server should held at equal value, imaginary internet power is no reason to think otherwise.

We also want to try and hold a balance of keeping to a consistent touhou cast (avoiding odd duplicate situations with aus), but also still allowing characters to be alterable in interesting and even more exotic ways from the original touhou cast. So perhaps you could have what is ussually considered an au character simoly be a canon (Just don't go too far into Undertale-land with like Reimu but she's Marisa or something).

Oh yeah- and remember!

Try to stay out of the woods at night...

When the sun sets over San Diego, the city doesn’t sleep, it transforms. Beneath the neon glimmer of Gaslamp bars and the crashing waves of Moonlight Beach, creatures of myth move silently among the living. Vampires whisper secrets in speakeasies, werewolves ride under leather and chrome, and ancient beings hide beneath museums and metro tunnels, steering fate from the shadows. This isn’t a fantasy, it’s survival. Supernaturals cling to anonymity by the thinnest thread, their ancient compacts tested by turf wars, betrayals, and a rising storm that threatens to tear the veil between their world and ours.

Welcome to a world where your character matters. Whether you’re a demon barista, a vampire hitman, or a human detective stumbling into something far darker than expected, your story can shape the fate of the city. Want to rule a gang? Infiltrate a criminal empire? Hunt the very monsters the public doesn’t know exist? You can. Slice-of-life meets supernatural thriller in a server where plots are reactive, death isn’t always the end, and new chaos is always brewing. Positions are open, ideas are welcome, and the night is calling.
Step into the shadows before the city burns in the light.

“So the story of man runs in a dreary circle, because he is not yet master of the earth that holds him.”

The War has ended. Civilization is on the brink, but not yet defeated, but it's enemies lurk in the shadows, licking their wounds and recovering, as a rot begins to spread within that which remains. The Federation of Vasturis struggles to hold itself together, and the world's wounds continue to seep unaided. The Eldritch have abandoned their worshippers, monsters roam the plane, and the only thing that stands in their way, is you.

Welcome to A Thousand Suns!
A Thousand Suns is an 18+ roleplay based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. The AU diverts from canon after the Great Spring Sickness, allowing us to create a roleplay that is grounded yet unexpected. In this roleplay, core elements of the book series is in play, such as but not exclusive to: Low Fantasy with return of magic, family bonds, political realism, moral ambiguity and the looming threat of darkness.

✶ START OF ROLEPLAY: 29th of October
The world of A Thousand Suns takes place in 262 AC, some fifty years following the devastating Great Spring Sickness of 209 to 216 AC, the Third Blackfyre Rebellion of 220 to 222 AC and the Eternal Summer of 224 to 260 AC.

King Daeron III, grandson of King Aemon I, third son of King Maekar I, sits on the Iron Throne. Though the Blackfyres lie buried in Summerhall’s fields, the scars of summer mark the land, having turned woods to ash and air to storm. Some areas are yet to recover from disease and drought, while others have prospered in their stead. Having long resigned from serving in King’s Landing, Lord Bloodraven has found his refuge on the Isle of Tears instead, navigating the realm from afar now that magic has returned once more to the world of A Thousand Suns.

In the roleplay of A Thousand Suns, the world and lore primarily focus on the regions of the North, the Riverlands, the Vale, and the Stormlands.

Are you tired of unnecessarily complicated TTRPG systems, where you spend literal hours creating your character and then multiple sessions that drag on without any progress? Well, we’ve created a laid-back, asynchronous play-by-post experience, which was tailor-made for people with kids and/or busy lives, because we understand you can’t dedicate a substantial part of your week towards an in-person session. If you like the above, read on!

We are creating a persistent Bounty Hunter universe, where you can roleplay as your own character in the Star Wars universe. You can take on story missions where our GMs will guide you through the given scenario, with dice rolls only happening during difficult moments (shooting your weapon, dodging a blow, escaping with your ship).

Our homebrew TTRPG system is based on Dread, coded as a special command for our server, meaning that you don't need to think about anything other than the story in front of you. No stupid stats, no min-maxing. Speaking about the server itself, we have coded many special commands and quality-of-life features, meaning that, and I will repeat myself, there is nothing stopping you from roleplaying your character to the fullest!

We are beginning in 0 ABY, right after the destruction of the first Death Star. You will have a chance to meet some of your favorite heroes or villains, or you can just chill on your ship with a cool crew of bounty hunters (actual players) over a game of Sabacc.

Right now, we are looking for players, GMs, economists and marketers.
