Hello there literate roleplayers. Are you tired of bland Light vs. Dark plots, equine RPGs that all seem the same, and plots that don't affect your character?
Well we've got a surprise for you. At The Secret it's not just about good and evil. In fact, good and evil don't have a lot to do with things. No matter whose side you're on, you can be as nice or as cruel as you see fit. But if you live in the north you'd better be tough if you want to stay alive. Here's a summary of what kinds of characters you can make:
Southern equines: The Resistance. You like freedom and would rather be left to your own devices. Conquering is not really your thing, you just want to be left alone to start a herd. Weakland equines: The Captives. You keep your head down and hope you don't get beaten up too often. You dream of escaping to the south, but know you'll be killed for trying. Mostly mares live here, though there is a small number of stallions. They usually get beaten down the most so they can't rebel. Northern equines: Tartarus's Legions. You work for the mastermind, Tartarus, the one who blew the news about the object of power out into the open. You answer to his captain Atlas, and you spend your time fighting, bullying mares in the Weaklands, and training colts for the army. If you have any spare time you can gather a small herd. Haven of Hesperides: The Secret Keepers. You know not hate nor greed, and you live within the walls of the Haven. You may leave to explore, but other equines seem so different to you. You live in peace and philosophy, seeking knowledge and enlightenment. But you know what is brewing, and the battle will come to your doorstep even though they cannot break down the door.
We are also accepting staff applications for Moderators and Graphics Designers.
What's going on... ?
There was peace once, though by now it is but a distant memory in the minds of those old enough to remember. There was order and cohesion, and nothing to fear. The Keepers of Hesperides stayed within their walled Haven, and none disrupted their peace. There was always a rumor that an object of unspeakable power lay hidden within those great walls, but in time the rumor grew dull with age. But now a young stallion, maddened with greed, is gathering all the information he can about this mysterious object of celestial power. Flanked by the powerful drafts of the northern lands, he is murdering and taking prisoners left and right. There is only a handful of southern herds that stand against him, led by the mysterious Theseus. If they are vanquished, the Keepers will be on their own. Chaos and uncertainty abound. How much longer can the forces of reason hold off this madman?
The board is set, the pieces are in play. Whose side will you join?
Five countries vary greatly: Kolshtak, a desert home for gypsies, merchants, and knights, who form communities around sources of water; Manti, home to elves and due to a recent civil war, they now strive for peace; Lalan'ay, landlocked, it have become known for its diplomacy and trading routes; Pyroose, the barbarian country with clans fighting bitterly for survival…and Shayz'renth, centered between them and known for having powerful sages who can grant power.

Built in the year 2000 Los Angeles School for Performing Arts quickly became the leading school of its kind in the LA county. The school quickly became populated with students. Every student was there for a different reason, some where there to begin their acting careers while others come for dance, but most are there for their passion in the arts.
The school was built by Andrew Valencia a very sweet old man who had a passion for the performing arts. The old man hired his son-in-law to become the Headmaster. Maxwell Davenport was 32 years old when he became the headmaster of this school. Maxwell had been a head master at a private school in Miami when he got the call from his father-in-law to take on his school. Of course the man said yes. He then up rooted his family and they moved from Miami to LA.
Today the school is running smoothly they have over five hundred students attending from grades six through twelve. The competition is hot here. Everything is now or never, hot or cold, nothing stays the same for more than a week. Kids are getting jobs and having a blast! Will you be part of the party or just stay in the shadows?
For years Silver Lake has attracted tourists of all types. In recent years the tourism in the town has taken off and the most popular reason to travel to the small town seems to be the hunting. In the last two years the local hunters and biologists have noticed a horrific decrease in the number of wild animals. The other thing they have noticed is that the predators have been coming closer to town than ever before. The dump was thought to be the main reason, there was little prey so animals were desperate for food. The town put a fence around the dump, thinking this would deter the animals from coming into town. For a while the idea worked well, then a few months later dogs started going missing in the night. The local kennels reported seeing wolves take dogs. It was around this time that a musher was attacked and sent to the hospital after he and his team were attacked by a pack of wolves just outside town. Nothing like this had ever happened before and the town was shaken. Afraid for their safety people began shooting wild animals that were seen near town and bounties were put on the pelts of those animals. The local naturalists are still fighting to put a stop to the killing of these animals but they are fighting a losing battle.
The Innocence of Animals
When the number of hunters in Silver Lake increased the wolf packs were hit the hardest. Not only was prey scarce but it was harder to take down because the pack numbers were getting smaller. The starving wolves and other predators began feeding of the humans trash. That was until the fence went up, anyone who managed to get past it was shot. The wolves went back to the mountains but the hunting continued and the prey numbers continued to dwindle. The packs began to band together, putting differences aside to save their own existence. They began fighting back, ambushing hunters and mushers who pass through their territories. Some wolves have even resorted to sneaking into town at night and taking dogs as prey. What choice do they have?
Meanwhile the dogs in town fear for their own safety and that of their masters. They have organised and set up patrols around town to protect the humans and themselves. A war has broken out between the wild and the domestic canines. While the humans argue about how to deal with the wildlife problem their canine companions are fighting a war right under their noses.

The Clans of Dreams
There is a tension about the forest and all the clans feel it, each becoming tense and jumpy. The Clans are going through a terrible time, even with DreamClan at their sides terrible events are quickly unfolding. Time of betrayal, with Rogues invited into the territory, and with murders by once thought allies. The Clan cats home is suddenly becoming a hostile place, disasters are occurring, prey is becoming scarce, warriors start fighting at the boarders, and peace quickly burns to hate.
Inevitably a bitter war breaks out! What will the end be like? Will the Clans even survive? And who will you join? Will you join the silent, aggressive EclipseClan? Or heroic, friendly SolarClan? Perhaps solitary, crafty LunarClan? Or maybe passionate, trusting NovaClan?
The Packs of the Stars
Winter has concealed the problem, but spring will bring it on. What the wolves don't know is what is about to befall them. At first nothing seems to be happening, prey is fat and large this round and the wolves are thanking the Goddess for the good feast. The rivers are a clear and their levels are high. However below this good prosperity lies a danger that no wolf is prepared for!
Prey grows smart and are able to avoid the wolves. This leaves the new pups with out any food. To add insult to injury the wolves start loosing patches of fur and an ill feeling settles into the stomach, legs get lame, and ears start to hurt, many finding themselves going deaf.
What happened and what does this mean for the wolves? Do you dare join and figure out this sudden event? Will you help the Northern Pack, with their snowy mountains and cold climate. Or perhaps, the Moon Seeker Pack in their wide open valley at the base of the mountain. But maybe you'll go in with the Twilight Pack and run among the trees of the lush forest?

No Strings Attached - You Will Never Remember « Result #6 on Jul 17, 2009, 2:49pm »
Dornberger Private School for Secondary Education is an institute near to the river, far from population, which has the reputation of being an elitist school. Only those who are reached out to are actually eligible to apply, and of those many return home unsure of why they were rejected, unaware of what had happened in the school during the admission test. Hence, it is called the school you can never remember.
Dornberger Private School for Secondary Education is actually no school. Inside the premises of the school, exists a secret training ground for future sleepers, assassins, spies, militants and what not. Led by a confederacy of several security organizations and assassin groups, inside the walls exists Special Military Arts Training Program - the desperate struggle by the 'good' underworld to train teenagers to fight off the growing unease of the future, the potential for indiscriminate war and annihilation. No one knows how they find students worthy of fulfilling the task - but you could be next.
A high school of a kind - combined with acne and prom, death and murder - you just cannot remember it all.

It began in 1945 with one horse, his owner, and his trainer. It started the infamous rivalry between the Aarons and the Clairemonts. Half a century later, the racing feud continues as Audacity Acres, run by the next generation of Aarons owner and trainer Clarice Bethany faces off the next generation of Clairemont new owner William Chase of Clairemont Racing Company. Each has their hopes riding on a new horse this season. The race has only just begun, are you in the gate? Clickie

There. Claire directed Gunner to the center of the indoor and watched more carefully. Bandit's problem was at the canter and it was for two reasons. He was unbalanced when he entered the canter nearly every time and occasionaly the horse picked up the counter canter instead. It was why he was kicking out. At least he wasn't the kind of horse who when unbalanced went along bucking and crowhopping trying to canter. Eventually Shannon got the gelding to canter quietly, finally balanced.
Most of the time a horse that reacted badly at the canter had an unbalanced rider, but Shannon was fairly centered. If only she had watched a little more closely. Claire had been distracted by the facial expression of the horse and how his ears twisted back whenever asked. It could also be because he was not trained enough or worked enough at the canter, so it was merely the horse's discomfort. The least likely reason was because Bandit was spooking, but there was no reason for that.
