“A Beautiful Lie” is a roleplay based in a relatively modern and large city. Give or take things are darker, sinister… bit more corrupt then in reality. That and the fact that we have werewolves, vampires, and the occasional human running around but besides that. And yet that is the point, really. Werewolves, Vampirs, and Humans is what our plot, for we do have one, centers around.
Werewolves and Vampires are back and, of course, they have managed to upset each other to the extereme of war. And this city, our lovely city, is now the battle grounds with humans left to feel the wrath of two powerful beasts. And yet, that is not all. The Pack has split, with the Alpha's Son having taken it upon himself to do something to combat the vampires other then twiddle his thumbs. And thus one has the struggle of the New Way and the Old to consider alongside the vampires... who have their own worries.
The Council, The Grand Council, is unable to reach a verdict. Chasing each other into corners by greed and differing interest it seems they can not conduct themselves with enough order to do anything. They understand the Werewolves are weak and now is the perfect time, if any, to strike. And yet how to act? How to destroy? They are incapable of agreeing and so the Vampires suffer. And yet one wonders... Where is the Head of Council? The 'King' of the Vampires? Rumor has it he was murderer. And Rumors usually have a sliver of truth.
So why not come? If only to see? The City's burning with the ever constant war waged between Vampires and Werewolves continued. Who will win? Who will fall? Everyone can't be a winner, a definite truth.
I suggest you read these Doesn’t the title say it all, love? You read these. You must read these. These are our terms, our rules, and you play by them. Inside you will fine awfully important information. Information that will blow up seconds after you read it! Eh… Not really but, still. Important. It has the rules, it shows the ability of werewolves, vampires, and humans and… naturally it just tells you pretty much everything you need to know.
Tell us about it... (2 sub-boards) Oooh! I wanna know! Did so in so get a little action going last night? Do you want to knock his teethes out?! Oooh! Well good for you. Mighty proud that you got this girl pregnant and your aiming to leave this guy scarred for life. But, technically it can’t happen unless you tell us about it. Unless we give our okay. Why? Because the rubber ducks said so. X.x Now, post within in the correct category. If your ‘in character notice’ doesn’t fall into either sub board then post it in the main.
Yap, yap, yap. We know you're good at it. (2 sub-boards) Yes. We know you. We know you enjoy talking - rambling on and on about nothing in particular. Yes, we know you run up your cell phone bill weekly but, what the hell who doesn’t! Well, me for one but I make up for lost time chatting on the net but! -coughs- Don’tcha worry my friend. You can come here, chill, and talk about whatever. Well, almost whatever. Things that conflict with our rules are, naturally, not allowed, hun. Also… if you have a suggestion or if you’re leaving, there is a section in here for you.
The Final Resting Place of Threads Without sugar, spice, cherries, ice-cream and all the rest this place is where a thread goes when it is finished. Pretty simple, yes? Very simple. Very simple indeed thus I find himself in quite the odd position. I must talk about this cemetery of old threads until it is a desirable length. After all it would look a bit odd if everything is nice and lengthy and this is just itty bitty, you know? Oh! By the way, though the staff will be pretty keen in placing threads here, if we missed yours then just mail one of us, kay?
Trying to steal our members, eh? Apparently you want our members. I mean really why else would you be eyeing this little patch of paradise? You want to tack your ad up here and you want to see how many members from here you can get to your forum. Heh. Well then…just read the rules inside, use the form, and don't post any sick and disgusting sites (stuff that's agains Proboards TOS or ABL's rules). ^^ Currently, we are not accepting any more advertisements or affiliation requests. Thanks.
If your looking to sign up... well... (3 sub-boards) Have you read all that lies here? Yes? Check? Good. Have you made your account? Yes? Check? Good. Now, my friend, you are ready to register your character. Ready to place him or her in our records and bring him or her into the roleplaying realm. Lovely, yes? Majestic, yes? Fabulous, yes? Yes, of course, just don’t forget to use the form provided, nor the rules and information you have read. X.x
Acquaintances Man, I love these things. xD So much, fun, they are, they are! But they are not required. Within you can further your information on your character and place your character’s thoughts on those he or she has met - heard of. There is not ‘set’ form and you can do this however you desire. Just… no nasty little things and please do try to keep them decently updated.
Foster Home If you have too many characters to keep up with, if you no longer desire to play a character, or if you recently had children and would like them to be roleplayed by someone else here is where you put them up for adoption. Please include information on the character placed for adoption and such. You can also tack here ‘requests’, or ‘wanted’ characters. From time to time the staff will toss in adoptable characters.
Da Machi Museum This place… is rich in art and style and beauty. Numerous painting of vastly well known artists in the artist community hang on the walls. There is even a section marked off as a bit of a seller’s cabin, where upstarts may convince the museum to hang their paintings. This place is obviously ‘better off’, marble floors and elaborate designs. Wealthy, indeed is a name that can sum up the Da Machi Art Museum which was founded by a rich professor, Mr. Da Machi, himself. Though the museum is largely dedicated to art, they are recently expanding it. The top floor is the place of art while the lower quarters are now being stocked with exhibits on ancient culture.
Joe's Cafe Joe’s Café has it’s very own Joe, in case you didn’t know! But, he works in the back. Cook, he is, he is. Joe’s Café is a nice, neat little place. Well kept and modern by many means. Mostly a coffee house but, they also sell cakes, cookies, and other sweets, along with more hearty meals as the lunch hour crowd is brought in. High tables and chairs, exotic paintings and crisp atmosphere all add to what is Joe’s place. The place is casual but professional, thus many casual business meetings between organizations happen here…
Fire Lily Park What a lovely park. Really. So pretty! So serene! Not… really. Children have done a number on the concrete with chalk, vandals have trashed most of the things around and many graffiti artists have tagged the rest of the area. However, with the Museum around, this place has been cleaned up. The grand water fountains are fixed and now running with water ever pure, spray paint and chalk has been removed, and things broken have been fixed. Fire Lily Park, the City’s Park, has been revived and it truly is, now, quite a pretty place. One you still wouldn’t want to wander around at night but, then again where do you want to wander around at night now-a-days?
The Vantage Hotel A classy place for classy people. Classy and yet not too smart, that is how the rich often are and thus… the perfect place for a pickpocket. Unless of course, you are a bit… idiotic and physically slow. In that case one might be a touch wary for there are many a clever, strong, yet bulky security guards hanging about the place and they do mean business. And yet, how tempting it is. Whoever can manage a stay at the Vantage Hotel, certainly has cash to spare… With it being such a luxury there is no doubt it has the finest of accommodations… and yet it seems this place is more for he vampires, then for anyone else. Their Council seems to enjoy much time here.
James Corporation A very… very large building. And to say it stands out, considering that this is the big city and there are many other skyscrapers, well… let us say that this is eye catching. Mighty eye-catching indeed. This place also has cash to spare. Enough so that the conflict between the werewolves and vampires has never managed to even shake their foundation. This is the James Corporation, one of the many important business of the city. It just so happens the James Corporation specializes in information technology and it seems they have set their sights on a new product. The offices range in importance, with those of more importance near the top.
Distant Suns Food Market They try to keep this place looking great but let us face it. It isn’t any kind of ‘Wal-Mart’ or ‘Kroger’s’. They can try however they want but it will never be. But, really… who cares? They have a fine balance of quality and price and that is the only reason they get as many customers coming in as they do. Which isn’t a lot but, better then nothing, right? So! Here you shop. Also, for you little thieves. I suggest not. The market’s owner, who changed his name to ‘Jack’ after all the mispronunciations, watches the market with the eye of a hawk… and in his possession is his best friend, Alexander the Shotgun who is just dieing to come out and play.
The Alley Ah! One of the many alleys, this is, this is. But, you see this is a more… ‘distinct’ one. Off of Faith’s street this little path lies, next to the pool hall. Here one finds broke down vehicles, dumpsters, and the occasional dead body and drunk. Along, of course, with those dastardly ‘sellers’. Of what, you ask? Well, naturally it varies. You sometimes find the arms dealer [mighty common] and then the occasional pill-pusher. Depending, of course, on time of day and the like. Mugging is not uncommon in this alley among many.
Fortune's Pool Hall I bet you can’t guess what goes on here? Well, other then hustling, gambling, and getting so drunk you barely remember that foxy lady who stole your wallet, nothing much. Card games happen in the back and only ‘happen’ for those with enough cash to be ‘proficient’ players. Smoking in the back is common enough that it can make even the veteran smoker gag for air. Up front men are treated to being severed by often female bartenders… reading to serve whatever drink you desire. Within reason. The pace at Fortune’s is shady and dank. Much calmer and slow paced then most places.
Moose Club Townhouses The townhouses that get the best view of the city...so they say. If you call looking out at the windows of the buildings across the street from your 23rd floor bedroom a view, then you will love it here. Of course, it would be nice if it were cleaned up once in a while. The many robberies and murders that have happened over the years have really run down the owners and the building, but they try their best to keep it going. I guess, it's nicer than some places around the city...
Crimson Tears This is where you go if you want to have fun. As simple as that this place has great music and even better drinks. Drugs are freely circulated and dispersed and many ‘bad’ things happen here. Werewolves and vampires both occupy this club, and flaring tempers aren’t unheard of. Girls be wary, many players lurk under the veil of the cute, hot, suave guys. Men be warned, many man-eaters slink in the crowds. It isn’t unheard of a guy taking a girl home and being found robbed and murdered. Thus, with that in mind with many of the partygoers they often come in little groupings, always having someone out there watching their back. Large-scale fights happen often.
12th Street Would a street be as street-y if it be called by some other name other then street? Yes it would. Especially this street. Well, maybe not this street. When you think street most likely you think of that nice, clean street. Just common street. You never think about this street. With cars on the side on the curb that have broken down. With the weeds in some places as high as small children. Chances are when you think of street you don’t think of this street, 12th street that runs through that bad side of town. In all likelihood, if you do, you must think of it while you are looking for a ’Lady of the Night’ or illegal substances.
Sundance Condos For all those young people who just moved out of the house, sundance condos is probably the best place to go. I mean, with the townhouses' constant murders, the hotel's outrageous prices and everywhere else's crappy style, the condos look like a blessing to anyone. They have nice rooms and showers, with all the hot water you want. They rarely ever get a robber or murderer around, for the area is enclosed in a high fence with barbed wire at the top, and even when someone gets past that, many patrol dogs scout the border for criminals. They will kill any human in an instant but never enter the residential area, so residents need not fear them.
Fairy's Ring A quiet little place that is positioned off the side. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city it is elegant and quaint. The lighting is dimmed and the place has a beautiful, gentle, calming atmosphere. Fairy’s Ring is quite romantic, really, and very much deserving of it’s name. With excellent cuisine and employees this is a desirable place to go for many. Sadly, dining here isn’t exactly cheap [Though not as expense as the things at the Vantage Hotel] and though they doesn’t require suits and tires they do request their clients look decent.
The Subway Welcome to the Underground. With a broad area for the masses to walk and wait for their train… This little [big] patch is home to many assassinations and bomb threats, but, that doesn’t keep one from coming. Oh, heavens, no! This is considered more reliable and faster travel then taxis, and with the world being so greedy and with time being money… It is wise to watch out for one’s wallet around here. Considering the fact there are many greedy hands just dieing to charge your credit card. There are numerous newsstands around for those eager for the news of the city.
Whitesand Beach Truth be known… the sand is as white as any other sand. Which, isn’t very white. Mostly golden the beach would be a fabulous place to be. And it usually is unless you catch your time here after a bonfire party… then you get the pleasure of walking on a beach littered with glass, bear cans, and other lovely little treats. There are rocks off the beach proving easy things for a swimmer to be caught in. But… if you know one of the local residents of the beach then it’s easy to fine the great places for swimming and sunbathing. During Summer many people flock here for the concerts.
The Dock What a long, long walk and yet it is quite pretty. Secluded away from the hustle at the boardwalk and far from the obnoxious ones at the beach… the sunsets and sunrises here are amazing. Then again pretty much anything to do with the sky and seeing it over water is pretty, right? The wood beneath one’s feet has been weathered by many a storm but still is extremely solid. And though this place was once used for small ships to dock, it seems so no longer. There are no railings so one must be careful… If one happens along here at just about the right time one can happen upon quite the interesting conversations that end with someone ‘getting some’ tonight.
The Boardwalk The boardwalk is a rather large expanse of a walkway provided to those before they step onto the beach. Right before the boardwalk there is a low, white wooden fence that seals off the parking lot. Concession stands litter the area, along with benches and tons of people. Some of the best food around are at the stands… telling which one being pretty simple by the long line it has. Overall the boardwalk is colorful and livid. Only day one wouldn’t find someone on it, walking there dog or hanging out with friends, would be when it’s raining cats and dogs and even then you might have a pedestrian or two.
Death Is Upon You In the end we all will die, and the majority of us will be buried in a grave… be it shallow or be it deep. People without names are buried here, as well as those who others desire not be found. This forsaken splotch of land is marked off my wrought iron gates and is at the end of a gravel road. There are only crosses for those unable to buy tombstones. Though the tombstones that happen to be here are hardly worthy of their name being so small and unformed. They are often weathered, for the most part, to the extent they are unreadable. There is a rundown mausoleum near the back of the graveyard… one that has been sealed for quite a time.
Whispering Fields This field was once in the procession of a farmer. One who died ever mysteriously a few years back… and since forth this place hasn’t been tilled in ages. Weeds have overrun the place, alongside the long grass. It’s easy to get lost amongst the stocks… and many an eerie tale is told about this place and about those who find themselves lost often find themselves dead before sunrise. With such haunting words being passed around few come here. And those who do… Well let us say that those stories weren’t, for once, simply the result of an overly active imagination.
Abandoned House There once was a farmer who lived in seclusion. Who watched over his fields with a keen eye and steady hand. Slaving over his work dawn till dusk until the day he met an unfortunate end. Word has it he died in his house by a murderer and was butchered to pieces. That when the police arrive they came across a house soaked in blood. Anyone who manages to find the abandoned house in the middle of the field can not deny the eerie feelings of being watches as they enter the old, decrepit building. Things are old… and yet everything is still there. It seems as if someone just up or left. Or as if someone was killed as his belongs remain unclaimed. In the many years after the farmer's death others have found corpses inside the house.
