PLOT
Nestled into the coastal region of California lies a strange little city known as Hekateros, population 1300. It has clubs and schools, libraries and museums. It also possesses the Gateways, portals to fearful dimensions. Two lead down into the depths of Hell. They are guarded by frightening beasts, princes of the underworld. Two others lead into the maddening world of Faerie and are guarded by servants of the Faerie Courts.

For many years the balance of Hekateros was chaotic at best. The demons that slithered out of Hell were okay with this, but the faeries require balance so that their purpose is not in vain. For the first time in many centuries, the two Faerie courts worked together to find a solution. They created the Opposites. Everything in Hekateros would be bound to its Opposite. In that way, the natural order would be able to balance itself out once again.

But the creation of Opposites had consequences the Faerie Courts did not foresee. When two Opposites come together, their magical essences are nullified. Their magic does not work. Humans can go their entire lives without feeling this effect as anything more than an odd sort of clumsiness, but the immortals feel it heavily. Stranger still, when the Opposites hold hands and their emotions are in alignment they are able to summon a single, but frighteningly powerful, ability.

These abilities are uncontrollable; they serve as memories to what Hekateros was before the Courts restored order. They are the chaos that balances out of the order. It has been a hundred years since then. The mystical nature of Hekateros beckons to immortals and humans alike, promising bright futures to everyone. It tempts the humans with the promise of immortality even if they believe they are blissfully ignorant to the paranormal activities within their hometown.

…But Hekateros is patient. It watches. It listens. And then you’re trapped.

[ ]The Library
This is the living memory of Hekateros. I invite all members to add to the histories and stories collected within the Hekateros library. Tell me species lore, stories of heroes and damsels in distress. Small myths, old diaries, and textbook histories. Lists, statistics, and passionate tales of romance. This library collects it all. To have your story submitted, PM it to an admin for approval.

[ ]Citizens Of Hekateros (1 sub-board)
Here lie the records of every character that walks (or crawls, or floats) down the streets of Hekateros. All character sheets should be posted here for our viewing pleasure. It is important for these records to be complete and updated. It is highly recommended that you link to your character sheet in your signature to give other residents an idea of with whom they are interacting.

[ ]Dance Of Desire
This is where your journey truly begins. Humans enter, immortals exit. Taste the kiss of true seduction as your character stumbles from the everyday trials of humanity into a world of magic, madness, and mayhem. Are you strong enough to pass through insanity and come back moderately whole? Can you look death in the eye and come back to tell the tale? This is where you find out…

The City
[ ]Murial Beach
The clean, sandy beach faces west. From there one can see what many consider to be the loveliest sunsets in the world. The sand is white and soft. The water is clear and warm. Shark sightings are rare. The biggest threat is usually from sting rays, but they tend to be docile unless you step on one. Murial Beach is a popular place for jet skis, surfing, parasailing, and many other water sports.
00
[ ]Juno Square
In the heart of Hekateros lies a large square. Tuesday evenings and Thursday nights, the square is transformed into the Hekateros Flea Market. Fridays and Saturdays the local bands come to play. The oaks that line the square are lit up every night with lights ranging from meager white Christmas lights to elaborate lanterns and decorative baubles. Juno Square is a popular, family friendly hangout spot every night of the week.
00
[ ]Magdalene Wood
To the north of Hekateros rests a dark forest. It is considered dangerous among the citizens of the city. The forest is always dark, protected as it is by thick leaves and closely knit trees. The sun is hardly able to touch the forest on even the clearest of days. Thin, yellow beams break free in magical bursts of light that are terribly rare. Only a few clearings exist within the wood.
00
[ ]The Majesties
Jokingly named, these small hills are covered in small purple flowers reminding the genius who named them of the American song, “America the Beautiful”. They may not be majestic mountains, but they are a lovely sight to behold. Technically, the property is private. That does not stop youngsters from daring escapades, long walks, and romantic rendezvous!
00
[ ]The Jordan Property
At first glance, The Jordan Property seems pretty dull. It’s a long stretch of pretty much nothing. Upon closer inspection, however, one can get a glimpse of the old hotel. It burned down about fifty years before and nobody ever bothered to get it fixed back up. Although trespassing is illegal, nobody seems to mind the risk. The place is rumored to be haunted, but most of the danger seems to come from drunk teenagers toppling off the top floor!
00
[ ]Heart's Mall
It’s just a mall. Nobody really knows why people tend to die in it. Mostly, this little fact is ignored. See, teenage girls like designer clothes. Teenage boys like teenage girls. Adults needs jobs. Children like ice cream and miniature mall rides. Business goes on and everybody can forget about the things that go bump in the night. Just make sure you use the buddy system!
00
[ ]Simon University
Although considered to be a good college by most, this university is even more special that the average citizen realizes. It offers special classes to young immortals in controlling their newly acquired abilities. These classes are secret and can only be entered by providing a letter of recommendation (from a character’s sire or a character who is able to sire). Simon University is more than just a college; it is a haven for the newly turned.

00
[ ]The Promontorium
This museum is a surprisingly popular hangout. It does tend to attract tourists, but once you get over the crowd it is rather nice. It looks out over the ocean and has its own aquarium with an aquatic petting zoo. The museum also rescues animals from the forest and acts as a wildlife reserve as well as having a planetarium, science “lab” for children, and a fantastic art section.
00
[ ]Wilmot Avenue
Nice, quiet, serene. This neighborhood has a lot to offer its inhabitants, including monthly block parties and lots of barbeques. The residents are wonderful and mostly human. Odd, then, that this neighborhood would attract so much supernatural attention! Nobody likes to talk about that, though. Funny thing about humans. They tend to ignore what they do not understand.
00
[ ]The Mark Antony Apartments
The living conditions here are, for the most part, okay. The air conditioning works (usually) and the ceilings don’t leak (hopefully). The price is fair, the landlord lax, and the rules unenforced. Technically, there are no pets allowed. Most of the residents that live in The Mark Antony possess them anyway. The apartments are wonderfully private, with good thick walls; a perfect place for shady business!
00
[ ]Diamond Plaza
Yeah, the name is ironic. The Diamond Plaza is by far the poorest, seediest place in all of Hekateros. This is the home of over three gangs, one of which is entirely human, five pawnshops that deal almost exclusively in stolen goods, and the infamous black market. That market can get you anything your black heart desires so long as you are willing to pay the price. Be careful what you wish for; the prices run high.
00
[ ]Jelani Estates
As opposite to Diamond Plaza as you could get, the Jelani Estates is the richest part of Hekateros. The homes there cost millions and there is a long waiting list to own them. They all have an ocean view and a minimum of eight bedrooms. The community is gated, patrolled, and considered very safe. Oddly, the inhabitants that call it home tend to be far more dangerous than anyone trying to get in uninvited…

Restricted Zones
[ ]Theudric Mountain
Fern’s dwelling place. This mountain lies just north of Hekateros. It is constantly foggy, very cold, and very wet. Hiking is not permitted. Those who trespass tend to never leave. Fern’s place lies near the top of the mountain, where there is always snow. Her cottage is surrounded by ice sculptures…or frozen innocents. It’s hard to tell, really. Only those who swear fealty to the Cult of Leviathan may traverse her mountain without fear.

Out Of Character
[ ]Make New Friends
New to Hekateros? Or are you just a friendly member? This is the place for new members to introduce themselves and older members to offer friendly welcomes. Feel free to chat up a storm. Hekateros is a community. No matter how much our characters hate each other or love each other, we as members should remain welcoming and friendly. So before your axe wielding warrior brutally attacks a newbie’s character, please remember to say hello first.
00
[ ]LOLboard
Feeling silly? In the mood for a game? That’s what this board is for. Good grammar is not necessary to play on this board. Please have a sense of humor if you wish to play! Silliness is likely to ensue. This is a good place to bond and completely let loose. Smiles are required. Sadness is not allowed. I challenge you to break out of your shell a little and have some good fun and giggles!
00
[ ]Advertising and Links
Have a roleplay site of your own to share? Know a really awesome website? Post them here! The internet is a pretty amazing place with a lot to offer, but sometimes it is difficult to find what we are really searching for. This board allows members to share the places that they love. All discussions based around off-site places belong here. It is your connection to the outside interwebs.
00
[ ]Roleplay Board
If you don’t feel like being Hekatorian today, or you’re feeling like testing out a new character, then come here! All roleplay genres are welcomed here. You may request one on ones, host your own adventure, use any kind of character…Your imagination is the limit. Moods change. Hekateros can accommodate that habit by giving you this. Roleplay to your heart’s content.
00
[ ]Imaginarium
I want to see what your skills! Roleplaying is an art revolving around writing. Many of us truly love that art. If you’re one of those people, I invite you to share your creations here. Short stories, poetry, songs, and anything else your mind creates…We’d love to see it! Ask for editing tips, feedback, critiques, or simply post it for the enjoyment of sharing.
00
[ ]Pictures and Video Sharing
Did you get a new puppy you want to show off? Have you seen an amazing Youtube video? That’s what this board is for. Each and every one of us has a unique personality. This personality can easily come out through pictures and visuals. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words, no? I wonder how much a video is worth. Whether you made them or found them, you’re invited to share them here.
00
[ ]General Chat
Sometimes, we just want to talk. There are times that the subjects on our minds do not fit a particular topic. Leastways, not one of the board topics. So this board is designed for anything and everything you could possibly want to talk about that does not fit into the other ooc boards. Music, movies, food…There is so much more to life than living in Hekateros (as much as I hate to admit it).
