CREATURE CHANGES
new requirements and updates

Hello Everyone,

After numerous suggestions, complaints, questions, etc. Major changes to creatures have been implemented. Some of the major updates include the following:

- There are no longer limits on creatures. Have as many as you want.

- There will be a post requirement of 100 posts on the account you want to make into a creature.

- The RP sample requirement has increased to 400+ words. More details for Vampires and Werewolves in the Creature Information Thread as they have additional requirements.

- Being a creature/having an ability should be integral to your character therefore you need to actively be using/mentioning these abilities otherwise your status will be revoked during the cleanouts. You will be given limited chances to re-apply before it will be decided that that ability or creature status is no longer significant to your character. In other words, if you don't use it you lose it.

Please review all rules for creatures before applying.

PLOT PROGRESSION
lots of updates and CHAOS!

Plot Progression:

Everyone has been busy coming up with ideas and so nothing gets missed I’ve decided to combine them all into one thread with links to the plotting threads for members to view more details. I’m so excited by all of your great ideas and I hope everyone else is too!

The first announcement is the new IC Administration at the Ministry and at Hogwarts.

Minister for Magic: Mark Grimstone
Senior Undersecretary: Ragnar Keeling
Head of Law Enforcement: Nathaniel Zimmer (yay a good guy!)

Headmaster of Hogwarts: Kaleb Haywood
Deputy Headmaster: Thomas O’Brien

THE STARLINGS MOVEMENT
>> The Manor – Oberon Lee has secured a Manor house in the South of England to host meetings for the Starlings. IC-wise there have already been meetings (though they were not RP’ed). Our first IC RP Meeting is underway HERE

>> Smuggling – The Starlings will be assisting families and individuals (and eventually Hogwarts students) out of England to safe houses in the UK to protect them. These attempts could go very wrong and people could die depending on the outcomes. Optional. See HERE for list of offered safe houses.

>> Skirmishes – Along with smuggling, the Starlings and the Cremation will be involved in skirmishes. Members can set these up on their own or tie them into other plots going on but I do ask that you keep the sides equal to give the Cremation a chance. There are an overwhelming number of heroes on the site which makes things rather unfair if five heroes gang up on one villain.

>> Breakout – Eventually, the Starlings and members of the community will be leading a breakout of the prisoners in the Accona Desert Prison. How they learn the location could happen in a number of ways but two ideas have come forward.
1. The Starlings capture a member of the Cremation and get the information out of them.
2. Cole McPhee is the grandson of the Cremation Leader and would be willing to go undercover and pretend to be joining the family business but he needs willing people to bring in to prove he is trustworthy.
This is open for more ideas, multiple plots could be done to determine the location so we can rescue the captives.

PHOENIX WINGS
>> Jax has opted to start a similar to Potter Watch so the world can know the whole truth instead of half truths and vague stories written by our lovely Rita Skeeter. Check out the link HERE if you are interested in being a part of this.

LAVINIA’S RISE
>> Lavinia lost against Nathaniel Kingsley in the election and due to her creature status is in hiding. She will be working to help those in need and will be gathering information on all parties. Her ad is HERE for more information

ORPHEUS IS A MOLE
>> Orpheus will be going undercover in multiple organizations to feed information to the right people including the Starlings and Lavinia. See the ad HERE for more information.

DA IS OUTRAGED
>> Students! The DA is working as well to help out fellow students, plan escape routes if things go wrong and infiltrate Headmaster Haywood’s office for info on their missing classmates and families. There is a meeting going on right now, HERE. And a chaos thread happening, HERE, to participate in.

IS THE SUPPORTERS OF INSANITY
>> The IS is trying to grow it’s numbers to fight back and help the war on prejudice win. There is a meeting for interested parties starting, HERE. Members of the IS have been giving out drugged potions to mudbloods and creatures and handing them over to members of the Cremation, HERE. And the IS leader is befriending members of the DA in order to find out what they are doing, currently befriending the dummy, Lucas Belmonte.

ST. MUNGO’S TAKE OVER
>> Now that the Cremation has the Ministry and Hogwarts, their sights on are St. Mungo’s. A plan is in place to send in a rogue werewolf on the full moon to kill the current head of St. Mungo’s (as well as anyone who gets in the way). Upon success of this mission, Corey McPhee will take over as Head Healer. HERE

THE CREMATION:
>> Captives/Purebloods – The Cremation is accepting applications for pureblood families to pick up muggleborns in captivity and have them taken in as servants and assistants. Send your applications to Camden McPhee for review as not all mudbloods will be allowed to leave the prison. This is a chance to escape. Please PM @ camden who you want to take out and he will let you know if that person is permitted to be gifted to your family.

>> Experiments – The goal of the Cremation has always been to eradicate creatures, especially vampires and werewolves (the most dangerous). They are doing experiments, studies and various other scientific things to these creatures. Already blood has been taken from Aurora Sejung and used to artificially create the werewolf, Eric Lee who will likely display some different abilities from other werewolves (and will be available to all werewolves at the end of this plot).

- Ragnar Keeling continues to experiment with curing Squibs of their inability to perform magic with his capture of Corinth Calderon and will require some pureblood donors to give their blood to him.

- Muggleborns will be experimented on to have their magic removed by being given a serum which Ragnar Keeling and Nathaniel Kingsley developed together before Ragnar went crazy (Nate’s words)

- Vampires, the Cremation wants to know if they can utilize your blood to make regular people immortal without the side effects of becoming a vampire. You may experience a lot of pain as you are exposed to various tests as well as sunlight. End result, vampires will become immune to sunlight when this plot ends allowing them to lead more normal lives.

- Werewolves may be released during full moons in order to hunt down other creatures and muggleborns and traitors with the exception of Eric Lee (punishment for being a traitor to the Cremation). If let out you will be followed but this is an opportunity to escape. At the end of this plot, the werewolves will be able to change into wolves at will but the full moon will still be relevant. More info will come closer to that.

>> NPC Random Events – similar to Colton Hayes at The Registry, NPCs will be causing some havoc within the prison to make things interesting. Stay tuned.

DON’T HESITATE TO TAKE ANY OF THESE PLOT IDEAS AND USE THEM FOR YOUR PERSONAL PLOTTING OR SET STUFF UP WITH OTHER MEMBERS BASED ON WHAT IS GOING ON.

NEW DECREES:
>> Citizens are no longer allowed to travel in groups of more than four. Caught doing this will result in arrestment and questioning at a trial. this makes underground groups illegal

>> If you are a family of 4+ you will be required to get a family passport to prove you are all related. Please visit the Department of Administration for your passports.

>> A curfew of 6pm will be enforced for anyone under the age of seventeen and a curfew of 8pm will be enforced for anyone over seventeen. Aurors will be patrolling at night to ensure no one is out after curfew.

>> Secret Police – this group will be seemingly working with the Aurors to help bring in the bad guys, or anyone deemed a threat to the peace the Ministry is “trying” to restore. They have the power to arrest people on sight and those people will secretly be sent to the Accona Desert Prison. See the ad HERE.

If I missed anything, let me know!
