Breaking Twilight « Result #1 on Oct 13, 2008, 8:26pm »
The year is 2010, the place Washington State. The Seattle high school thrives with the rush of students flooding for the new school year to start. Rain constantly falls from the sky covering everything in a light haze of dew and one could swear the entire state was on anti-depressants with their uncanny ability to do anything in the misty weather. Washington is a wonderful place to move your family, great neighbors and fun events at all times of the year. No place could be safer at this time of year, but behind the shadows lurks a danger beyond anything the world could imagine.
Beneath the ever unobservant gaze of the humans, an internal war rages through the streets of the quiet state. Vampires and Werewolves fight for dominance, the ever imposing Stone pack leading the war on the southern side, and the cold and god-like vampire coven of the north. A pact lies between the two, neither shall cross onto the others territory and none shall tarnish the humans peace in the no-man's land. Those who break the law, suffer the consequences. Each side fights for control of the entire state, for now the peace pact laid down by the great leader's of both side strained at best.
However, the is not the only threat the humans face. Whereas the vampires and werewolves have proven to be a silent yet deadly enemy, the witches scattered across the land prove to be a more open force to reckon with. They watch from the shadows, toying with the lives of humans or going about their own peacefully, never choosing sides against either race. However, when the treaty finally breaks, when it becomes too strained to bear it's burden any longer, will they simply be able to watch quietly from the shadows? Or will they be forced to endure an unseen nature more threatening than the impending doom lurking in the corners.
In this world of blood-shed you may play one of four sides: Humans, few who know about the underground secrets lurking in the shadows and others going about their normal lives. Vampires joined in a coven under the three vampire lords, or a rogue vampire living the land and constantly running from the guard. Werewolves united by Malik Stone and guarded under his direction, or also a rogue simply looking for a place of your own. And lastly, the witches who blend in with every day life, but tease and plunder by night. Those who threaten to expose the lines will be dealt with harshly, guards posted throughout the land to stop those who threaten their way of life. Who will you choose?

Role Play Example: Kitina flung her laddle up- sauce dripping off it- and had a rather deadly glare upon her face, " If you don't like my cooking then you can go and starve yourself. I rather you wouldn't, but I will have no one critizing my cooking!" Her face buring red with anger. Her laddle had her flinging food around, as some fell and blotched others faces with food. She shifted her body, then sighed lowly and had sad careing eyes looking at the man who had cowered away, a little way. "I am so sorry for that... I just don't like it when people don't like my cooking... Here let me help you!" She walked over to the man, and gripped a napkin she held behind her back. She leaned down, and wipped away the minor blotchs, that were across his face.g

Welcome to Camarague Island. Here, the three alliances are no longer living together. Each alliance has their own island. The Amux Island, is where the darks rule. The Ryvet Island is where the neutrals rule and finally, the Tucker Island is where the lights rule. This wasn't always the case. Once the three alliances lived together, though in not perfect harmony but they tolerated one another. That all went to pieces when a member of the dark alliance killed a light and then denied it when questions were asked. The neutrals were not taking sides and both the darks and lights were annoyed with this fact. The mare that was murdered was the daughter of one of the well known royal herd, the Torrents. This light herd was very royal and was just about to name this mare as the 'princess' persay. Tired of hearing excuses from the neutrals, the darks finally had enough and tore away from the main island and claimed the Northwest island as their own. The neutrals claimed the SouthWest and the Lights claimed the Eastern one. There is one main island in the center of everything. This island is called Balam and here is where the gathering takes place. Each island is connected by a rickety wooden bridge. So, now that the alliances are feuding, the question remains...Which side are you willing to join? And are you prepared for the consequences?

From Illusion Be Freed [LB] « Result #7 on Jun 12, 2008, 3:28pm »
The ancient stories tell, that since immemorial times, fiendish monsters called 'Illusions' had roamed the lands; leaving nothing but death and destruction in their wake. That until three powerful sorcerers sealed them behind the Coast Of Swords. The magicians had admonished nobody should venture past the Coast, but convinced of that expanding the frontiers of his empire would put him a step ahead of the neighboring kingdom, with which they were at war, the Emperor sent a fleet across the grisly sea. The fleet never returned, and what was worse, suddenly, monsters started appearing from underground.
These were the same "Illusions" mentioned in the texts, believed to be only a myth. Having never faced any threat like this in the past, it wasn't long until most of the empire had fallen, and those who remained were confined behind the city walls, condemned to die of starvation, waiting until the monsters figured out a way to overcome the barricades. Everyone blamed the current Emperor for all of this, and a civil war ocurred. In all the revolts that took to get the new Emperor to his place, almost no one noticed how the monsters had been crushing the neighboring kingdom of the Red Helms to nothingness, mysteriously giving time to the new emperor and his empire to strengthen.
Alongside a new ruler came a new religion; the old one, devoted to the Simurgh, the phoenix of fire, Hyrdralisk, the dragon of death, and Leviathan, the serpent of water, being outlawed. This didn't please the people much, but with the crushing defeat of what remained of the Red Helms kingdom after the Illusion's mysterious retreat being attributed to Chenzira, the new religion's only god, there was no doubt that at least some true had to be behind it. After the conquer of the Red Helms kingdom, the New Empire was able of holding its ground against the returning Illusions; but right when everyone was lowering their guard, the monsters started to turn bigger and more powerful. A new breed of Illusion appeared, capable of taking a small army head-on without trouble; and now, a couple months after, the tides of war have turned.
This story takes place in the city nearest to the legendary Coast, where the battle is at its fiercest... here two groups battle for the safety of the city they live in, and for themselves:
Amber Shield, disciplined soldiers taught to fight for honor and justice.
Blue Lightning, sly thieves taught to always make their own decisions.
Imagine a world in which slavery is prominent, the power held by those in charge is abused, and every moment things are staggering on the brink of war.
Imagine a world in which children are deprived an education because of their blood status or the actions of their parents, a world in which only the elite gain knowledge above status quo.
Imagine a world when the unspeakable happens to innocents on a daily basis yet they have no voice to speak up against it and are even further tortured and made examples of for speaking out.
Imagine a time when all hope of things ever getting better seems to have vanished along with those who fought for your freedom and a time when you feel powerless to do anything against so great a foe.
This is the type of corruption and darkness the wizarding world of the United Kingdom has found itself thrown into over the past year. Freedom was gone faster than the blink of an eye. What Voldemort only dreamed of accomplishing has been accomplished and little seems possible to do about it.
Trevor Williams and the other Death Eaters hold control over every action, and little goes on that is not reported back to him. Any possible rebellion is squashed almost as soon as it's concocted. The Imperium Guard sees to that. Hope is quickly vanishing.
Yet despite it all Damien Noland hosts a safe house for all fugitives from Trevor's reign. His arms are open wide to any who truly hate what is going on and seek refuge and safety from the storm. The only problem is that it's hard to get word out, and things must be done in secret. Despite these hardships, the resistance grows daily, hoping to undermine Trevor and his regime.
Nevertheless, the true question remains: how much will a people endure before they strike out?
Featuring: - Friendly staff and members! - An extensive outlook on the whole of the wizarding world. Both students and adults alike are in focus. - A chance for every character to shine without any canons to overshadow them. - A quality over quantity stance. While we do have a word count, it's a mere 100 words.

NOT FINISHED Full Character Name: Adele Cardinal Moonshine Nicknames: Adele (and probably some that she had no idea of that are said behind her back) Age/Date of Birth: 46/ May 1, 1962
Physical Character Description:
Long brown straight hair with silver strips, flows straggly down the Indian woman’s oval face, and straight down toward the middle of her back. She’s round, and somewhat portly, and hates to be called anything other than what she is; a full blood, Indian… Upon her oval face are two almond shaped, brown eyes, a rather large nose, and two thin lips that are usually in a smile of some sort. Usually gracing her features is a smile that tells the world that she knows more than anyone else in the world, and yet, it’s hardly the truth.
A thick neck and rather broad shoulders for a woman, begin her torso off just right, as her bust size isn’t any smaller than that of her shoulder width. Weighting in about 235lbs, no one can say that Adele isn’t well off enough to keep herself fed and well rounded. Her legs are like those of chicken legs, with rather large thighs that thin out until you get to her rather chubby feet which she loves to wear in sandals and other sorts of shoes that aren’t very attractive at all to her feet structure.
As far as her body is concerned though, she doesn’t know what to wear usually, that accents the good features about it. Mostly wearing Muumuus and smocks with jeans, Adele appears to be a lot larger than she really is. In her own perspective though, she thinks that she’s one of the most attractive women around. And other than the nurses, within Athena’s Garden, she probably is.

Making Friends? Not A Priority... (OPEN) « Result #11 on Jun 8, 2008, 1:01pm »
Kaylee wasn't at this job so that she could make friends, or so that she could make enemies; it was a job needing to be done, and it was in a smaller atmosphere than that of Cortland's hospital. There had been too many people there to do her job efficiently, so when a new nursing home was opening up, Kirsten Lee Turner, Registered Nurse, was sure to sign herself up as soon as she could. Sighing now though, she sat at her station behind the nurses counter, and nothing was going on. She'd never before been in such a droll and boring environment. She convinced herself it was because the place had just opened up, but seriously... could it get anymore uneventful?
Looking around, the few residents that did live there so far, were all either in wheelchairs, or they didn't much talk. Kaylee figured it was because they were all dumped here by their families, most of which would probably never return for even a visit, and they were all lonely or aggravated. The man who stood at the entrance of the building kept eyeing and looking down the hallway at her, and Kirsten just dared the man internally to try and escape. Like most of the latest nursing homes, the doors all had alarms on them for when an elderly would try and escape. To prevent the alarm from going off, they had to press a certain number key in the door way... one in which only guests and staff were allowed to know. Elderly were not.
Kaylee smirked to herself, her long blond hair tied back, just daring the man to do something foolish. "Come on..." she whispered to herself, the glasses she wore only for reading sitting upon her head...
Enclosure Dogs [L.B.] « Result #12 on Jun 8, 2008, 10:11am »
[ Name ] Enclosure Dogs: A New Beginning, A New Survival [ Url ]http://hemmingtodd.proboards76.com/index.cgi [ Plot ] No lights, no sounds; just grass and weeds that envelope the city fully. Two hundred and six years passed, and the weeds and plants have begun to take over the metal structures, concrete paths, and dingy suburbs. Manhattan, (New York City,) New York in the United States of America: Now when you think of what this city used to be, with its marvelous lights, splendor, and entertainment, one does not think about a town full of what the American dream was based upon. Of course, by now, the American dream is not for the humans. The humans no longer exist as the animals and the plants do. Not in New York City, not in the United States of America, not in the entire world. The problem of survival didn’t end with the extinction of the humans…it just began there.
Rabies (ra bies) – n. an infections disease of dogs, cats, and other animals, transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected animal and usually fatal if prophylactic treatment is not administered: caused by an RNA virus of the rhabdovirus group; hydrophobia. (http://dictionary.refrence.com/browse/rabies)
The rabid plague was a fast moving, highly contagious disease that had no cure. Its mutation, however, was far worse than that of any rabies virus human, and animal kind alike, had ever seen before. A highly developed, and superiorly strand of rabies that could affect both humans and canines developed as humans continued to develop new vaccinations and other bio-methods in an effort to cure and rid the Earth of the disease once and for all. As a form of rabies, it continued to be transferable by saliva and blood, but added in, the air had also become contaminated with strands of the virus that made everyone a carrier of the virus, if not completely infected by it. Some, however, were immune. The strand of Rabies was seen in California first, killing off a family’s pet, and then the family themselves. It encompassed the whole town and its inhabitants within weeks, then spread through the entire continent, later breaching even oceans to infest the entire world. The virus couldn’t have come at the worst of time. The world, fighting amongst itself, using whatever kind of technology they could muster to kill one another, the rabies virus just acted as another element to the humans’ efforts. Besides the strand traveling the world by itself as quickly as it was, it then was used in the bio-warfare as a fatal element on each enemy who didn’t have the technology to capture the virus. Both humans and animals were at risk in this war, and in the end, only the immune would survive.
The humans were still recovering from the war of 2137 and the chemical and bio weapons that had plagued the Earth. Canines, however, suffered far worse than any other human or animal species on the planet. The strand infected all, but it seemed as if canines, wolves and dogs alike were more susceptible to the virus than any other. It baffled the greatest of scientists minds, and without a cure, the canines would become extinct. To help save the canine species, two of each wild and domestic canine breed that were not infected with this horrible disease were shipped to domes across the world. Some of the biggest bio-domes were located in Yumen, China, Sydney, Australia and Central Park (Manhattan), New York City. Other domes were located around the world as well, but none that got as much publicity and attention as these three. It was to save the animals just as much as it was to save the human race from the rabies virus as well. However, as much as the humans tried to preserve themselves, the virus only grew stronger and even those whom were human and immune, no longer found sanctuary form the deadly strands of genetically enhanced rabies. The world went into another large war, and non of the humans survived.
One hundred and three years of rust and deterioration finally gave way for the domes to be reopened, and the animals, the young and the old, fit and the unfit were set free. Central Park (Manhattan), New York City, became neutral territory, for those who found they didn’t feel safe leaving the place they had all called home their entire lives. However, some ventured forth into the new, human-less world. After a while, the dome itself came down, and those who stayed behind made their homes within the rubble of the debris. There was nothing left that would keep them safe, but their instincts and their wits. Abandoned and taken over by nature, the only thing that had survived were the animals including the canines in the dome and of course the plants, which had spread all across the city. So far it seemed as if the rabid plague had vanished, the disease was just a myth, exactly like humans.
Though there were domes all across the world our story is centered and based upon the one in Manhattan, New York City. What will happen in this year of 2340? With the death of the humans, the domestic breeds and the wild canines are joined. And yet, domesticated and wild have blended into one, and therefore, there is only wild left. They live, as dogs should; hunting and playing with no outside sources to kill them.
But one has to wonder, how long can that truly last?

Jennifer McCormick, R.N. « Result #13 on Jun 7, 2008, 9:54pm »
Full Character Name: Jennifer Carlyle McCormick-Freeman Nicknames: Jenny, Jen, and J.C. Age/Date of Birth: 39/ August 30, 1968
Physical Character Description: The older Jennifer gets, the better she gets at flaunting it all for the world. From day one she knew she looked different than the stereotypical neighbors in her 'hood, but that didn't stop this 5 foot 3 inch beauty from showing everyone else what real looks were. Skin dark, bronze, and flawlessly gorgeous, this woman has no problems in pulling the "just out of bed" look and making it work.
With warm, dark, almond-shaped brown eyes, her soul windows stand out against the golden bronze that makes her skin. Long, thick lashes grow lusciously and top off the look of perfection. Apply cheeks show off the little bit of Native American heritage she is able to lay claim to, and when she smiles her cheeks grow even more. It's all a part of the natural beauty she encompasses.
A smile with the perfect set of teeth that any dentist commercial would want for their own devices can often be a point of jealousy for many, but she doesn't care much about the pearly-whites, as long as they stay that way.
Thick, coarse, dark hair that matches her heritage as well, the length varies from time to time, grown out long and sometimes cropped shortly. How she wears it also varies, but from week to week. Now and then one will find cornrows, the next week it’s been straightened, the next the curls are so tight you wouldn’t think there’s enough room for a head.
The rest of this woman is large, beautiful, and luscious. Rich laughter rings from her mouth when she smiles and her voice is loud and proud of exactly who she is and where she came from.
Her clothing is the one thing she does on her own. Every outfit she wears, outside of her nursing scrubs, she designs solely on her own. The deep purples, the bright pinks, the pale yellows, the rusty oranges, everything is her own thing. When she sees something she likes she immediately sits down at home in front of her sewing machine and gets to work. Why didn’t her fashion career ever take off? Read on to find out more.
Personality Character Description: Loud and Proud are the tow first words someone would think of when describing Jenny McCormick. Her previous employers would say sometimes the woman is just a bit too loud and proud to be exactly who she is. She doesn’t take attitude from anyone, nor does she care who she’s getting in the face of when it comes down to the bareness of it all. What matters is making sure who needs what gets what they need.
With her I don’t take nothing attitude, Jenny makes for a perfect nurse. Anyone who tries to go against her final word is forced to feel the fury of her anger.
Bountiful with more than plenty to go around, this nurse will give anyone a mouthing when it’s deserved, a lent ear when one is needed, and laughter when it can be used.
Tactful enough to easily break news, this gossip queen isn’t one to find in many places unless it’s where words of mouth can be dug up easily. This social butterfly loves people, but only because she loves their lives. With her own falling apart, she feels the need to live through other’s lives and can often be found to be overbearing and awfully nosey.
Passionate about her work as it’s the only way she has a chance to buy her materials, Jenny delved her mind, heart, and soul into the business of nursing years ago when she was on the bottom of nearly everything and hasn’t left yet.
Loyal to her residents, they come first in any and all business. The residents are the ones who give her joy to move from day to day. Hearing their stories about their true loves keeps her searching, hoping, and wishing that some day things will be alright.
History: (Must be at least 15 lines) A native born and raised in Skyler, Jenny has never left. She had dreams once to do so, but they fell through, much like a lot of things in her life.
As a little girl her family was a well-to-do good family, living in an upper high-class white neighborhood. In the sixties, that did not mean good things for them. While great events happened before she was born there were still those who stuck their noses up whenever they had the chance and still maintained they were better than the McCormick family.
Being young and out of the norm, she didn’t give two of anything. As long as she was happy with her ice cream cone in one hand and the rubber kickball in the other, who was going to mess with her? A lot of people tried, she was bullied, pushed around, and all that other stuff, but she didn’t let that get in the way. Her daddy was a policeman on the force, where he witnessed the same deeds as his children, all three of them.
Simon Michael McCormick was born first, in 1961. He was younger than sin when those fights broke out and black people finally got their rights, what they deserved. However, even when he was young he couldn’t seem to stay out of scandals, constantly finding himself involved in something or other, and none of it good. Now that he’s forty-seven years old, he’s seen more than most in their lifetime. The streets is where this stray cat found himself at home, fighting over cardboard boxes, traveling from street to street to get his fix, it was everywhere and he wanted in.
Adam Carmichael was born in 1965, and he’s into dirty Politics. As a young boy that was where he found his fancies lay, in the world of crooks, sex, and money. This boy went off to college and never returned, having headed off in the direction of D.C. and never looked back. Once in a while he’ll send a Christmas card home, but non one’s heard more of him since.
Momma is still around, living with daddy in their old neighborhood, on the side of town Jenny doesn’t let register in her mind anymore. They told her she was doing wrong by agreeing to be with Nicholas, she doesn’t want to tell them just how right they were.
After graduation in 1986, Jenny had been accepted to LA’s biggest fashion college, and she planned to go there until one month before she the date was to leave. The reason? She found she was pregnant with her summer fling’s baby. Love of the sixties? Heck no, it was love of the eighties and nothing was better.
After telling her parents about the plans to not attend school and instead settle down for a bit with Nicholas and raise their child her dad told her to leave and never return, she did just that. It wasn’t long after she realized what a mistake she’d made, but she didn’t think she could correct it either. Out of money, love, and luck this girl had one way to go, and that was the employment agency because her man sure as hell wasn’t getting up off his ass to go to work.
From there they forwarded her to a job at the local hospital where she became interested in the nursing positions. However, after a bad night home with Nicholas and turning up at work the next day bruised down the face and with dried blood caked all over, she was ushered to the emergency room, the child never made it.
Years later, she’s stuck with a man she never loved, no children, no animals, a landlady who knows nothing about anything and doesn’t know when to keep her nose out of things, and no future but nursing. After the incident she and some of the nurses were on friendlier terms and they told her how she could get into nursing school. Since then she’s been a non-stop nursing machine. Whatever keeps her out of her home with the failing marriage and the blonde bimbos ways is all right with her.
Marriage falling through the floor, woman she doesn’t know about crawling out of her bedroom at all hours of the morning, drugs she knows nothing about filtering in and out of her home, she’s nearly hit the wall with craziness and doesn’t know where to make it all stop. But she does know she’s about had it with Nicholas and has an attorney office on speed dial, divorce papers ready and just waiting for her signature.
So, what’s stopping her? Maybe you’ll find out one day, or maybe, just maybe, you’ll be lucky enough to stay out of her way.
With so many things that happened in her life, fighting for her rights against the looks of many around her only keeps her going. Someday she’s going o to have children and she refuses to allow them to suffer through things she had to, but she wants them to fight for everything they want and should get too.
And why does she use her own last name? Because she wants to drop Nicholas as soon as possible, maybe.

Credentials: In high school Jenny was an average student, but not when it came to home economics. Her fashionable tastes were impeccable, and Los Angeles knew it. With things in her life that fell through, she ended up taking an aide job at the local hospital and from there she was referred to a neighboring city to take a nursing course. Passing with the highest score in her class on every test but the practical, she managed to gain her nursing license and continued to put herself through school to get her RN license. Her jobs? The local Skyler Hospital, a nursing home in a neighboring town, another in a different town, and now she’s back to start at Athena’s Garden.

Rules for Adopting a Character « Result #15 on Jun 5, 2008, 1:34am »
[1.][So, what is it meant by this sub-board?]
Adopting a Character has been added to Athena's Garden by the admin team for the purpose of having Canon and non-canon characters up for grabs for new and potential members. All characters made and placed under this board by members of the admin team and other members of Athena's Garden, are done so that characters that have beneficial plot potential and would be a good addition to the site, are given the chance to be role played by other members. A person places a character up for adoption because they feel that they, themselves, do not have time to role play the characters appropriately, or already have the limit of characters that they are allowed to have and therefore are not allowed any more. Also, if a writer of Athena's Garden has been playing a character and no longer has time to do so, but does not wish for the character to disappear, they can place the character up for adoption in hopes that another writer will take on him/her.
What must be noted about adopting a character is that these are characters that already have specific personality traits, physical descriptions, histories and so on. In order to Role Play an adopted character, you must do so accordingly. In some ways this is less creative than an original character, and yet, it other ways it's easier to play an adopted character because everything is already laid out for you.
[2.][How does one adopt a character?]
In order to adopt a character, you must be in good standing with the site and all of it's rules. This means that you have to be active, and have less than three characters of your own (basically). If you are in good standing at Athena's Garden, then you can PM the the Athena's Garden Administration account (SN: admin), or one of the staff members themselves (located in the side bar) and ask for the character you'd like to adopt. After the admin team reviews your request, we will send you our decision and if you have a go on adopting the character, you will then register a new account for the character and repost the application under the application board to apply with that character to be accepted. We expect that you will have added to the application slightly in areas that may have not been completed or could use some beefing up. Remember, what is in the application already, however, is there to stay. You can not change the character itself, you can just add to who they are.
[3.][Why do some applications have the word 'Canon' in their subject next to the character's name, and yet the others have 'Non-canon'?]
Canon characters are characters that make the plot move along because in one way or another, they are apart of Athena's Garden. They are what this site is based upon, and have crucial plot points that are vital to being played. While, the non-canon characters don't necessarily have to be played at all to make the site run efficiently. They, like all characters, are important, but not vitally to the story line of Athena's Garden.
[4.][How do I place a character up for adoption?]
If you create a character for the board, or have found that you want to leave the site and would like us to keep your character around though for someone else to role play, you can place a character up for adoption by again PMing one of the admin staff, or the admin account itself to let us know. If it is a character that you have created, we expect that you'd send us the application with the PM explaining to us that that is a character you made to be put up for adoption. We will then put their character application up on the adoption board and, as simple as that, your character is now able to be adopted.
If you are leaving the site, however, and would like us to place your character up for adoption, PM the admin account or team, just as before, and we will remove your accepted application from the board it is on, repost it under the admin account and just like before, the character will be all set to be adopted.
**NOTE** Once you place a character up for adoption, you can not reclaim the character. This means also, that if you leave, you cannot come back to take the character you left behind. Placing a character up for adoption is final. No if, ands, or buts. So, think very carefully before you do so. Thank you.
If there are any question please PM any of the staff members on the admin team, or the admin account itself and we will be more than happy to get back to you as quick as we can.
