lotr_gathered needs players!

[atticat.livejournal.com]

lotr_gathered is currently looking for members! The game has been around for some months, but we are currently revamping and recasting, so don't worry about being behind!

Here is a bit about the game:

If we have to be different, we may as well be different together.

There are more of us than you think. The not quite so normal, not always quite so human. Those of us born with talents, powers or abilities that make us different. Werewolves, fey, shifters, telepaths and witches to name a few. But being different has often meant being solitary.

Until now.

Now we are being gathered together. Its happening everywhere. Some well known universities in London have far more exclusive acceptance policies than you would think. Private clubs, law firms, in the most unlikely places we are being gathered.

Movie sets.

Alright, one movie set, although the project was so sucessful that I'm sure there will be more. But what better place to gather than in a small, quiet town, in a far away island. The film, a classic fantasy, was the subject of constant public scrutiny and debate. If they had known that its stars, its crew members, everyone right down to the very last extra was 'different' I am sure the magic of the film would seem tame in comparison.

We were chosen for 'Lord of the Rings' in order to form our own kind of fellowship. Those who had lived with being different for many years, centuries in some cases, came together to help those of us new and unused to our powers. All of us found we may be different, but we are not, entirely, alone. And many of us made the best friends we will ever have on that film set.

But all things must end, and that is the purpose of this journalling community. To keep in touch when we cannot be together physically, to offer support to each other, and to chronicle our lives.

We are scattered now, but won't lose each other again.

While the players do have powers, it is not the main focus of the game--we are also focused on the relationships between the players. For more information on the community (and how to join) please go check out the community information.

We will be setting up some sort of regular group chat, but we will be figuring this out once we have new players with the old, to determine a time that works for everyone. You will need a character LJ to play this game, and an AIM name.

Characters currently taken are:

Orlando Bloom - Shapeshifter/Telepath
Viggo Mortensen - Telekinetic
Elijah Wood - Empath
Liv Tyler - Water elemental
Billy Boyd - Astral Projection
Dominic Monagan (though this may change) - Finder, douser
Miranda Otto - Healing Powers
André Schneider - Shapeshifter/PSI abilities
Sean Bean - Werewolf
Mark Ferguson - Electricity control
David Wenham - PSI abilities

We need Karl Urban, he has his own journal but the mun couldn't play him as often as she would like. All of his history has been wiped clean, so whoever comes in would have a clean slate with him. It will be up to whoever takes Karl if they wish to keep his gifts the same as they are now. You may do that or create him totally from scratch.

Any other LOTR actor is also needed and welcomed. Non-LOTR actors and OCs will be considered on a case by case basis. For non-LOTR characters you will need to show some sort of relationship or reason that they would be in the lives of the others (or have a convincing argument) and for OCs you must show what it is they will bring to the game, and why you couldn't accomplish it just as easily with an actor character.

We're a good little group here, and we're looking for mature, talented players for the pups. You will need to be able to post at least once a week (preferably more). Please come visit us for more information about the community and about joining. If you need an LJ code to get started, that can also be provided.

Thanks!
