So, there are a couple of Harry Potter styley RPs kicking around, but, hey, I can't get enough HP, so here's another; mine. This'll be in the advanced section, btw.
Premise: the dark arts have re-emerged in the wizarding world. Some practise has always taken place, but the elicit trade of dark artefacts and such has skyrocketed. What's more, the UK now seems to be the international centre for this trade, a status it has never had before. Even the muggle world is suffering; every high-ranking muggle department is under heavy threat from mind-addling curses, steering the non-magical world too. Criminal gangs emerge and vanish in the time it takes to apparate. Though their members may be sometimes captured, no leader figure has ever been identified. It is clear that there is some figure or figures behind these developments, but who they are, only time will tell. These are dark times indeed. Who ya gonna call? The Auror Office, obviously.
Notes: so, clearly an HP RP. It's not all worked out perfectly yet, but think a political thriller/crime drama set in the Harry Potter universe. That said, I'd like to steer clear of canonical events and characters. I am a bit of a freak for the world JK created, though, so I don't like it when details about the world (how magic works, details about creatures and organisations etc) are gotten wrong. I don't mind adding or inventing aspects or elements of things (creating a new creature/spell, whatever), but I'm not a fan of JK's lore being contradicted. As you'll have guessed, we will be playing (by and large, I may allow for some exceptions) Aurors, the resident badasses of the Ministry of Magic, trying to deal with the day-to-day crises of this dark, modern era, and hopefully untangle the threads to reveal the true culprit. I'm after maybe three or four other people to join me. If I get the interest, I'll make an OoC.
Peace.
