Site Name:Salem Institute
Site URL: http://http://saleminstituterpg.proboards.com
Site Theme: Potterverse, without the tea and crumpets.
Site Description: Inspired by the Potterverse (we stick to canon as far as England goes, but things are very different in America!). Students come from anywhere in the USA, range in age from 11 to 18, and attend grades 6-12 (equivalent of years 1-7 at Hogwarts) at Salem Institute. Instead of houses, we have Legacies - they are completely optional sorority/fraternity type groups and joinable at the start of 8th grade.
OOC, we are a friendly group. The admins are willing to listen to suggestions/complaints. Interaction between all characters is HIGHLY encouraged, as is getting involved with the site-wide plot! We will do what we can to get new members/characters integrated and into the thick of things!
We're looking for some brave souls to take over the roles of or replace current teachers. The only catch is that you've got to play a student for a little while so that we can be sure that we can trust you with the responsibility. We are currently in the middle of February '96.
Main Plotline:
While people in Great Britain are running scared or huddling in their homes, gripped with terror by the second coming of the Dark Lord, a sinister tide is rising in America, and it threatens to overwhelm and destroy all that we hold dear.
Cheeseburgers, Thursday-night sitcoms and toilet humor.
Yeah, we know all about the British. They wear powdered wigs, have bad teeth and can barely speak the language THEY invented. He Who Must Not Be Named? Isn't that a character from a Lovecraft story?
We're American witches and wizards. The "purebloods" chased our blood-traitor and mudblood ancestors out of Europe long ago. Since we're a melting pot, few here are true purebloods, and hardly any witches or wizards are completely ignorant of everything muggle. House Elves have been free for over a century. We might enjoy convenience, but we don't hide under our beds like little girls when danger kicks in our doors.
Seven dark wizards and witches known as the 7DS (Seven Deadly Sins) are terrorizing magical and muggle folks alike. Phrixos Pratt III (aka Greed) has been arrested and placed in the magical jail, Devil's Tower. One down, six to go. But no one knows who the other six are! What will they do now that they're less a member? What's the truth about the lighthouse? Are the strange occurrences at Throckwattle House connected to the 7DS? Everyone has a lot of questions, but very few answers. Come help unravel the mysteries at Salem Institute!
Site Rating: PG-13 for sex, R for language and violence... or RPG Rating 323
Activity Level: Quite active for such a small group!

Additional Comments:
- Create regular witches and wizards or special races such as werewolf, part-giant, and part-goblin. There are also special abilities to choose from like animagi, metamorphmagi, and parselmouth. These types of things are limited so get them while you can!
- After playing a student for a few months, you may app an adult character. Take over a teacher or staff member (some are not available) or replace a current teacher or staff member.
- Players may join in on the board-wide storyline or concentrate on their personal plots. Or both!
- No word count or post length requirements.
- Friendly, flexible admin and players.
- Small group so your character won't get lost among the masses.
- Board is over a year old and still going strong.
