Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot & Prongs would like to welcome you to the age of the Marauders.
The year is 1978. The place is Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where Albus Dumbledore is Headmaster. James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Severus Snape, and Lily Evans are in the middle of their seventh and final year at Hogwarts, while outside of the school the Dark Lord Voldemort is gaining power. Wizards and muggles alike are falling victim to his evil prowess, and death awaits any who stand in his way.
Three students were killed last year, one murdered and two on their own accord in light of suspicious circumstances. Narcissa Black was scandalously tied up in the entire affair and suspected by many students to be the culprit. She was innocent, however, and the real criminal was never located.
Scandal blanketed Hogwarts like a thick fog. Remus Lupin had been dating Narcissa Black, a relationship that was fraught with difficulties, including Narcissa’s disapproving family, a pregnancy scare, and a strained relationship with the other Marauders for Remus that continued until the relationship ended in the fall of the current term. Regulus Black is dating a Gryffindor half-blood named Alexia Sanders. Andromeda Black is falling apart due to the increasing pressure from her family to be a person she doesn’t want to be. James Potter is hopelessly chasing after Lily Evans who is denying any positive qualities within the boy. Peter Pettigrew has been gradually separating himself from the other three, though not in favor of ill will. He has been conflicted with his own forbidden love affair. With Remus now out of the way and becoming heavily involved with his best friend, roommate, and fellow Marauder Sirius Black, Lucius Malfoy is starting after Narcissa, all the while thinking about Voldemort and getting the mark.
The others too have begun to take sides in the fight between good and evil...between The Order and Voldemort's dark regime. Several students now wear the Dark Mark. Friendships have been destroyed. Lines have been drawn. It's only a matter of time before Hogwarts and the Wizarding World alike are up in arms. With an attack at Hogsmead during the school’s Winter Social, those who haven’t been thinking of the war have been forced to open their eyes.
With the start of a new year, the students of Hogwarts and the outlying wizarding community have important decisions to make.
Do the walls of the great castle protect it's inhabitants, or has Voldemort's sinster presence penetrated deep within?
No one can be trusted. [/blockquote][/size]

MWPP Marauders has been active for well over a year. There are many canon characters currently available and OC's are welcome. We are seeking both student and adult characters. We are also expanding our out-of-school conflict between the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix.
LITERACY & EXPERIENCE LEVEL NEEDED:
Intermediate-Advanced. Most of our players are quite literate, but we are open to letting relative beginners join and develop their skill as long as they make a significant effort. Players must be able to make posts meeting a 150 word count minimum, but most posts range between 250-600 words. We request that applicants have good grammar and spelling, be familiar with Proboards, and understand basic Role-Play rules, courtesy, and procedure.
Our plotlines tend to stay with the Harry Potter books written by JK Rowling, though there are several deviations and we allow players to take liberties with their characters (canon) within reason.
We are SLASH FRIENDLY, and do not discriminate based on anyone's personal shipping preferences.
We invite anyone who is interested in a low-stress and fun Marauders Era RPG to join us.
RP Experience is preferred, but not necessary.[/font]
