Welcome to Yesteryear, a site made by After. This roleplaying site takes place in Belusville, a currently unlocated fiction town by the sea. We currently are in need of members, so please join! Invite any friends or acquaintances to also join!
News: 5/20/09: So we've definitely been 'officially' inactive for a while. I'm a horrible administrator, but whatever, since nobody will read this anyway. Anyway, maybe maybe maybe I can somehow get activity up... but most likely not. So hello everybody, nice to see you've taken an interest, there's nothing going on here! Sorry! So anyway, we're basically closed.
7/14/08: Ok, letting you in on where we're standing: Welcome Mist, our fifth member! ^^ Hopefully we can keep this up and become populated and active! Thanks everyone for joining. There are also four skins to choose from so far. I know a couple aren't totally complete, but all the colors are set and everything, so feel free to look and enjoy them as much as you want! Or look and grimace in horror. xD
7/9/08: Welcome, TIFF and KLY, our newest members! Thanks for your efforts, too! =D We still hope to see more members in the future! (JOIN!) As well as that, we have a new board in the Character section. Hopefully, this will help members keep track of their characters so they don't have to search in the Accepted board. Guess what? This means that every section has exactly four boards! Great, huh? Totally doesn't matter, right?
7/1/08: Welcome to Yesteryear! We are officially opened at 11:07 GMT on July 1st! Please look around , read the rules, and join! Also, get other to join as well! Any suggestions should be PMed to me or posted on the SQC board! Thanks all!
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 Global Moderators, Graphics Designers and Skin Designer.
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?

"There's something magical about this place."
Welcome to the lost island of Amaranth. A modern-day fantasy occuring in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Before the Great War, Amaranth was viewed as a tropical paradise flourished with tourists and natural resources and still is today. But only by the natives or immigrants who fought alongside them. After the Great War, Amaranth dissapeared off that map, but is still very much here today. Cloaked with magic, it is there to let it's people live in peace.
But of course, there can't be total peace.
Come join us as the multiple stories unfold and come to life as you create your character and tell your tale via a forum-based RPG. Your destiny is decided by one person, and that's you.
"Caress the one, the hiding amaranth in a land of the daybreak."
The Elkaran are an anciant race. Little is known of their past to the Original wolves, but to the Elkaran it is a closely guarded secret. A secret I am willing to share with you, at least in part. But first you must understand the nature of this secret, for it is a secret like no other. No, this is a secret of the Earth and Skies and everything around us. This is a secret of our very beings.
The story starts at the creation of the first packs. At first there were many packs, but one stood far out from the rest. Shy and reclusive for the most part, the Elkaran dabbled in the myth and legend of the wolves, prying out many secrets from sources the others couldn’t comprehend. For many generations this continued, the packs evolved into a hierarchy, the Elkaran receding further and further into the shadows, they and their myths and legends all but forgotten.
After many generations, something seemed to happen among the Elkaran. They made a breakthrough. Six of the remaining seven Elkaran discovered what seemed to be the secret of controlling the elements them selves. But these were not quite the elements you may be thin king of, for among the wolves they were different. Earth, Air, Water, Plants, Animals and Death, each Elkara controlling one. All but Animals had been discovered. The last Elkara, distraught at being the only failure, left.
The remaining six re-entered the life of the Original wolves, casting wonder and a new belief among them. They were now considered as Gods. They formed their own packs, gathered a few disciples, and taught them the secrets they had discovered, confided in the few their power.
Then, a few years later, word reached the Elkaran of another wolf, a strange one, with the power to control the minds of animals, and he was collecting forces. The lost Elkara had returned, with a vengeance.
The Elkaran and their disciples met this old foe with his army of Original wolves, and a huge battle ensued. But for all their strength, the Elkaran were only just able to overcome this one rogue Elkara, but it took all their strength. The Rebel Army pack went into seclusion. The Elkaran met, and decided on a course of action. They had not enough strength to remain in the Real world, so they would bestow upon one of them enough power for them to remain, while the rest receded into the spirit world that lies between life and death, while the Death Elkara would guard over the Rogue, who they had imprisoned in between Spirit and Death.
But that was all many ages ago now. There are now more disciples, now named the Elkaran after our pack, than there are Original wolves. And He is rising again. And I am afraid. Especially now that the Original wolves are uprising against our controll. After so long of being left in Life, apart from my pack, I fear that I do not have the strength to face my brother again alone.
Organization XIII The cool kids, and the bullies. Everyone wants to be in their group. They only date people that are part of the Nobody Order, or in their own group.
Nobody Order A group of "Nobodies" that have become popular. They are the second most popular kids in school, and only date people in their group, or in Organization XIII.
The Kingdom The middle group. They are not popular, or unpopular. They are still respected by the higher groups, but not that much. They are the kind people in school, and are looked up to by the lower groups.
The Lessers The slightly-unpopular kids in school. They are mocked by the Organization, but they aren't the most unpopular. They look up to The Kingdom, but they want to become part of the Nobody Order.
True Nobodies A group of kids who are true nobodies. They are never talked to unless it is by someone of their own group, or an extremely kind member of The Kingdom. The Organization picks on them almost every day.
Everyone knows that the small ordinary town of Forks is just, well small and ordinary. Where it rains for most of each day, week, month, and year. The most exciting thing would most likely be the local high school prom.Each town has its own oddities though. Fork's being the mysterious Cullen family. Even the neighboring La Push residents agree. But the Cullen family is accustomed to being labeled as such because they have been living in Forks for quite some time. They are familiar with being the only extraordinary part that Forks contains.
Mystery
Nothing stays the same forever though.Things begin to change when mysterious killings appear in Seattle and Port Angeles. It turns out that the Cullens are somewhat of a attraction in the vampire community. The clan The Kasimir who saw the Cullens’ way as an affront against the ways of their ancestors and The Samad who were curious as to how the Cullens were able to be what they call "vegetarians" have arrived. These legendary clans are major threats to the lives of those in Forks.
Murder
The Cullens are not the only ones who must react to the situation.The Quileute tribe of La Push has begun to grown in number notifying the werewolves that a battle was soon too come.
Adventure
The clans are not the only new characters in town. It seems that an ancient secret society called Cruentus Ferrum for centuries have been tracking down vampires. Part of their research has led them to Forks. But everyone knows that only vampires can kill vampires. Unless, the society has something up their sleeves. Will they join the Quileutes in the fight? Who's side are they really on? Are they really just there to protect humans? Or do they have a darker agenda?
Hope
With all this trouble brewing who has to pop in for a visit but The Volturi. Will they make things better or worse? Unfortunately, it's hard to tell when it comes to the most dangerous and unofficial ruling council of the vampires. Looks like Forks isn't as boring after all.
Which side are you on?

Eutopia
The Beginning Of A New World
Long, long ago, there was nothing in the world. Everything was cluttered together into one tiny space. It wasn't long until that space exploded. It was an explosion that could destroy everything, but it created everything. It created the sun. The sun was one of our main sources of life. It gave us warmth and light. The Earth soon began to cool down and begin its age. The conditions of the lands were way over the extreme, but as time passed small organisms began to be born, and evolved into our modern everyday animals. The most envied animals were the birds. So many Humans wanted their wings, their ability of flight, their stunning beauty. They decided to make flying air machines, but that alone was not enough for them. They wanted to fly freely without being inside some giant machine. However, Humans took their technology to the extreme and completely destroyed the ozone layer. The sun brought down its power light and burned off almost all of the Earth's creatures. For centuries all animals were forced to live underground where it was dark, cool, and safe. Everyone had to live a horrid life until the sun blew up. Read more!
A preview of our plot (Taken from our website): As written in the Book of Souls… Long ago there was nothing but a single star in the black void of space. Slowly the star grew old, and its color changed from a bright yellow to an angry red. As all stars do when they grow old, this one exploded. The entire universe shook with the impact of the single star’s explosion while boulders the size of planets flew from the star’s core amongst the gas and flames. For thousands upon thousands of years the flames slowly died out, and the boulders spread to the farthest reaches of space. The force of gravity created many more stars as the largest boulders attracted flames and gas toward them. Many other rocks crashed into larger ones and disintegrated forever more. It was a time of chaos and destruction that should never be forgotten.....Click here to read more!
