RPG Pimping: The Road Ahead
++++++++++++++++
So, you're a Muggleborn, and by law, you've been kept from your education at Hogwarts because of your blood. You've been on the run for months, detained in Azkaban, or hiding in the Muggle world with no news of the life you left behind. You're a Pureblood or Halfblood, and you've been forced to attend school with sadistic professors when you know you should have been fighting. You're a member of the Ministry, and you watched it taken over before your eyes. You're a Slytherin whose choice was made for you, possibly before you could even make it yourself. You've lost your best friend. Brother. Husband. You're a father who couldn't protect his son. A mother who couldn't save her daughter. An educator who couldn't properly guide your students. A Death Eater who's escaped justice for years. Who wants to escape it for far longer, and maintain the status quo.
Voldemort's gone. It's the day after the Battle of Hogwarts, and the dust has barely settled.
What now?
With so much unfinshed and so many stories left to be told,

road_ahead seeks to answer that question. We're a brand-new, post-DH, Harry Potter RPG that focuses heavily on developing characters in the aftermath of battle. It's about dealing with the outcomes of the last year and adjusting to a post-Voldemort world. There's been tragedy, but now, there's hope, and a chance to move forward with life.Picking up directly where Deathly Hallows leaves off, this is a chance to explore your characters and see them grow and adapt to the many changes the Wizarding world saw in canon.
road_ahead RPG is canon-compliant through DH, but ignores the epilogue, and the possibilities for development are endless. The moderators are seeking serious players who can commit to character-driven plots and are interested in exploring the many questions that canon left unanswered for their characters. With an emphasis on plot, realism, and the joys and setbacks of a post-DH world,
road_ahead will provide plenty of room for your character to explore and grow.Canon is over, but their stories are just beginning.
Game Starts on October 19, 2007

road_ahead RPG picks up where canon left off. The dust is still settling at Hogwarts following the battle, and word is spreading throughout Wizarding Britain of Voldemort's defeat. Kingsley Shacklebolt has been named Minister of Magic, and he and others have the arduous task of fixing the damage done during Thicknesse's reign as Minister, from demolishing the Muggle Registration Act, to replacing those lost in the war, to restoring the public's faith and confidence in the Ministry of Magic. Voldemort is dead, but Death Eaters and sympathizers remain at large, and the Aurors and Magical Law department have to do their best to capture and convict those guilty of torture and murder.Meanwhile, Hogwarts has suffered extensive damage during the battle. Minerva McGonagall and others have to fix the damage, both architecturally and emotionally, after a school-year full of torture, hate, and disruption. Harry and his classmates find themselves caught between childhood and adulthood, having grown up too fast due to the reality of war. Now, they face the decision of what to do with their lives. They can return to school for a shorter session in order to prepare for their NEWTs. They can leave school behind and get a job. They can work with the Ministry to restore balance to their world.
The possibilities for everyone are endless as they deal with the events of the last few years and cope with the consequences of war while figuring out where they belong.

So, this is the brand-new game we've been getting ready and mentioning here and there. I just started talking about it with a couple of people who are creative writers and strong RPers, and we decided to go for it. I'm all excited about getting to explore characterizations post-DH. :D I'm playing Harry Potter and Greg Goyle, who are totally new experiences for me apart from fic, so I'm looking forward to it. Still completely in love with SHH, my other game, so no way I'll be leaving that, but I'm also really wanting to explore post-DH. So here we are, ready for casting. *g*
Basically, we're looking for people who like to develop characters and interact with others, and want to do it in a realistic, post-DH setting. Whether you're brand-new to RP or have been doing it awhile doesn't matter as long as you've got a great attitude and a desire to explore the post-DH world that JKR left us with (without exploring the Epilogue, heh).
If you're interested, please feel free to ping me (I'm emotionalinertia on Yahoo messenger), or email me ( hnicole83@gmail.com ) or the Mod account ( rarmods@gmail.com ) with any questions. We'd really love to have a Ron Weasley, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Minerva McGonagall, Narcissa Malfoy, George Weasley, Percy Weasley, and students in Harry's year. Or, if you're interested in applying for a DE to play temporarily during a trial process and all, that's good, too (longer-term DEs also welcome, of course). We have a list at the link below of the more common characters, but if you get inspired by someone not on the list, just contact us so we can decide where they might fall in relation to the game.

Course, in RP, the characters tend to do what they want, lol, so any ship could happen. *g* Only the ships that are actually married in DH are taken as a canon ship at the start of the game.(so h/g or r/hr, for example, wouldn't be.)
