What we did was not important or even effective... we fought because we realised we couldn't lay down and accept what was happening... the silence of the masses was paid for in our blood.
Diary of Avery Jones- Junior Under secretary Department of Runes and Symbols

-------------------------------------------------

On 1st August 1997, He Who Shall Not Be Named took the ministry by force using insiders under the imperious curse to aid his entrance.

Rumour has it that the Minister for magic Rufus Scrimgeour was taken, subjected to torture and subsequently killed by the Dark Lord himself.

The official wording was a shocking resignation and replacement by Pius Thickness, yet this new appointment prompted remarkable changes in ministry policy particularly in regards to muggle relations.

Many ministry wizards kept their head down, fearing for their families and friends, knowing but refusing to believe, downtrodden and defeated they tried to ride out the storm even as the Order of the Phoenix fought a loosing battle of sabotage and propaganda.

Yet they were not the only ones who fought back.... a small band of ministry employees put their safety aside to strike back at the new Death Eater order.

-------------------------------------------------

Together we will take the journey of the small band of ministry employees who band together refusing to buckle under to the new regime and play out their counterstrike.

Thank you for reading! Hope your interested

Any questions or improvements always appreciated

Now we are both checked in.... a little on what you can expect and what I'm looking for.

What I'm looking for
3-4 active players to take a part in this and help me bring it to life.

General rules

1. Don't be a dick- this covers no godmodding no controlling other people's charactors without permission... No uber invincible charactors

2. Post once a week at least- I would rather you spent a week then cooked up a gem then took an hour and provided something substandard. Collaboration posts are encouraged just let us know what's going on

3.too much going on-let us know and we will work around it.

What to expect from this rp?
I'm looking to create a freeform rp where the story is dictated by you. I have a beginning point and a very vague ending point and potential twists in the middle but really the story will be up to you and in particular how we strike at the death eaters will be up to you...

Want to mobilise a muggle army.... game on... Want to go overseas to recruit foreign wizards give me an hour to create an appropriate npc and lets do it.

If we have multiple good suggestions we will do them all.

I won't stray away from combat and dueling but considering we are few against many straight up combat is Ill advised. We will need to be subtle and the main part of the story will be the planning of our attack the subsequent issues it throws up which means interaction bonding and charactor development will be pushed to the fore

Like any rp I hope to take our charactors on a journey that will make them or break them

Once again thanks for your time... Questions or critiques let always appreciated

Hey there. This looks fresh to death, and I am interested.

Sweet! And questions at all? It's cool if not :)
I think it would be best to get the OC up today just to keep interest rumbling :)

Good to see interest :)

Ill start work on the oc tonight
Got plans today so any questions feel free to drop me a pm or post in thread

got a little carried away and managed to get it done this morning
ooc is up
feel free to check in

I'm potentially interested, but I kind of want to play one of the bad guys if that's okay. Maybe they could be undercover or something if you don't want people to be playing more explicitly evil roles in this RP.

I'm not averse to it and in truth had plans for that sort of thing as a plot twist anyway through an npc.

If you don't mind I would prefer for it to be part of your character journey rather than you being a death eater on the side of you know who from the beginning. How your transformation comes about we can work out together through pm possibly in a collab post which we can release when the moment is right.

My reasons for it is
1) it gives your character a journey a way to develop and internal strife is always good rp material.
2) from my experience if everyone knows your evil from the start per your character sheet it can leave everyone suspicious and they know oh shit he's evil don't stay to close to him. This way, no one knows what you are yet. They might be wary of you and well they should be you evil bastard but only we know if you have truly turned.

If you want to discuss it further drop me a pm and I'll take a look at any ideas.

@the crafty pigSeems reasonable. I'll PM you then since I'm definitely fond of the idea.

@Jannah If you do go evil, remember don't tell us :) surprises and revenge are a subject best served suddenly :3

@TheDookieNutHahaha exactly. Don't worry, it's all being discussed over PM >:D.

But now I'm suspicious haha

If there is any further interest and you want to get in before the rp starts just drop a post in the ooc. Ideally I am looking for one more person but this rp will remain open even after it begins as it's pretty simple to add a further character in.

plan is to begin the ic on thursday
