Maledicus leans back upon his throne and a self-satisfied smirk crosses his features, his smile reflected by the infernal lights of the chamber and highlighting his ivory fangs. Recruitment was going well…soon he would have an army of demons at his disposal and would defy the mortal notion that his kind were too chaotic to work together towards a common goal. A new power was rising on the outskirts of London…and it was high time that the Devil was given his due.

~ The following information is considered OOC and not to be acted upon IC. It is provided strictly as a means of getting the word out about a potential role-playing opportunity. ~

The Legion of the Damned is an in-world, in-character, role-playing group based in the Legacies 1891 sims. The primary objective of the group is to promote and engender a variety of role-playing circumstances and experiences. The group is based out of a castle on the western side of the Vamporium sim. Members of the group are permitted to use the castle as a base of operations and home during the time of their membership.

The role-playing environment of the group is that of a legion of demons under the command of Lord Maledicus, the first of the incubi and son of Asmodeus and Lilith. Maledicus has been charged by his father to retrieve the Codex Gigas, also known as the Devil’s Bible, and the group will share this common goal. Other ancillary missions and assignments will be provided on occasion by Maledicus and all members are encouraged to maintain their own role-playing storylines. In addition, members may come and go from the castle as they see fit, utilize any of the props within the castle for their own role-play, or bring captives back to the castle to use it as a backdrop for role-play.

In summary, the group exists as a foundation for creating role-playing opportunities and, as such, commitment to honest and fair role-play is paramount, as well as adherence to all of the mandates of the Legacies sims. Should you believe that your character is appropriate for this type of role-play, feel free to seek out the Legion…but do so in-character. It should be noted that, except for technical reasons, all matters will be handled as immersive role-play and almost strictly in-character. That is, if you wish to join, role-play finding out about the Legion, where they are based, and how to join as opposed to sending an IM asking for information.

I look forward to playing alongside each and every one of you in the coming days.

Madame Vedis steps into the newly cleaned and renovated bank with a smile. She nods to the urchin playing jacks outside, “Let everyone know, the bank will be open for the next hour for the citizens to collect their Stipends.”

She moves to her place and waits the crowds.

An anonymous pamphlet begins to find circulation, handed out by urchins. It reads: “Ever have that burning desire to be chained to an altar of the damned with a leering, well-endowed demon looming over you? An incubus Master could be the thing for you! For the simple and painless exchange of your immortal soul you’ll be provided with an endless supply of quivering, orgasmic bliss. No need to apply in person. Candidates will be contacted directly and all spread thighs considered on a fair and even basis.”

A foul wind blows down the dark streets of London like a sulphorous exhale from the bowels of Hell. As a raging storm breaks over the city, several flashes of red-tinged lightning reveal the silhouette of a winged figure descending rapidly. Gliding down to land upon one of the rooftops, he strides to the edge and gazes upon the huddled masses of humanity below. Somewhere in this city, it was hiding. Long had the hosts of Satan waited for the chance to reclaim it and the time for its return had now come.

Dr. McAden peers down his small alley, at the green flag bearing his crest at the corner, then down at the small note handed him by Boris… “Huh.. I suppose they do have a point. Hardly an OBVIOUS address, is it?” Dr. McAden hastily pulls a few left-over flyers from his desk, and inks in a proper address for the front door..
“Now, THAT should eliminate some issues…”

Handing the flyers and a coin to a local boy, Dr. McAden patiently waits by his door…

Are you being followed by a wild lycan? Ever wonder how many breeds of Lycans that there are in the world? How can you scare one off with outfighting it? If you are attacked by a monster how do you know if it wants to mate with you or kill you?… Come to the class on Lycans at the University Tuesday at 4 pm SL time. Among other things you will know how to handle any beast you might run into.

“It’s coming…It’s coming..” mutters the dirty and rags wearing man. He rocks back and forth …as he sits on the roof of the old mist filled building. …” The moon shadow shall eat the sun…..eat the sun.” He laughs madly….and begins to pull pieces of his long dirty hair out and makes what appears to be a long tangled rope. Nearby another bum rambles over to him …hitting him on the head. ” Stup…fool…we has no sun here…has not seen it …have ya….? ” As the man falls over he checks the unconsious man’s pockets… inside he finds crumpled papers… a piece of a eye-glass…. he mutters as he leaves the man bleeding: “Moon shadows eating the sun my arse… we have no sun…poor bastard…I did him a favor putting him out of his misery.”

Mrs. Ophelia Lowenhart Puts down her Violin sadly. The last notes echo through the theater, a lonely sound in the empty hall. Why is there no music in this city? We have 2 museums but no one supports the performing arts. She snaps her fingers brightening, “That is it!” She had been looking for a way to keep busy since Alastairs death. Ophelia loved a good cause! The next day a horde of street urchins circulate flyers announcing the Legacies Philharmonic!

Saerrn growls low, anger spilling over, her eyes flash as she sets her jaw as she can only watch the blood bee take its prize and scurry away like nothing more than a common thief. Saerrns voice, the voice of her father, booms before evening out, “YOU! You have crossed the wrong demon…For what you have done…This city will pay…My daughter will exact my revenge.” Saerrn pauses for a moment, before continuing, “The next seven nights will belong to Wrath…She…will..bring me the blood of an innocent nightly!…The cities blood will be on your hands, Prescious!”

Shay pays some little street urchins to deliver her latest stack of fliers after installing the new police drop box. Hopefully that will encourage citizens to seek police aid even if an officer isn’t in sight at the moment.

Are you an able bodied man or woman?

Do you think you can make a difference in the city?

If so, the Police Department wants you.

The police department of London will offer a competative wage because those serving a city filled with danger need some sort of compensation for a job well done.

You will recieve a uniform, badge, a place to always hang your hat and the respect of your fellow citizens.

Fill out this easy application, head down to the station where you will either be greeted by Comissioner Shay, one of the dedicated officers, or you can simply leave it in the delightful drop box.

Legacies London Police Department Application

OOC: What times of day (please state in SL time)? What is your time zone? (They are not necessary, but to promote roleplay it is a good idea to know when we can “count on” each member.)

Note that we try to incorporate as much historical flavor as possible into the RP for the Police, but just as that: Flavor. We are not sticklers for accuracy in every detail, as that is the nature of Legacies. As such, here are a few resources you can read up on about policework in the Victorian Era:

http://www.victorianlondon.org/publications3/catechism.htm

Once your character’s application is reviewed, there will be a small RPed “interview” where (if successful) your character is officially enrolled in the Constabulary.

Over in Asphodel Meadows, Griffin Bebb sets up his stall across from Ragnoth, rolling in his latest wares.

“Barrels for sale!” He shouts, “Get’em while they’re still barrels!”

And off his business begins.
