AU PRE-TWILIGHT RPG SET IN COLUMBUS, OHIO 1912
LET'S JOURNEY TO THE PAST...
[/u]Columbus, Ohio was once considered a fairly quiet town by the standards of the day, but it is now anything but. It seems that no matter what species you belong to, there is trouble lurking around every corner. Carlisle Cullen settled in as the new town doctor and hot subject of gossip when he quickly broke the heart of Miss Esme Platt, only daughter of the infamous lawyer, hoping to save her humanity by keeping her away from him. Little does he know that she is in a much worse spot without him now. Not to mention the Italian Mafia that have always had business here, blending into the social classes and economy here without much hassle. They have everything set up in town the way they like it, and they aren't keen on people changing their plans. That only scratches the surface of the lies and scandals that are now plaguing this town. The humans think they have it hard now, they don't realize that this is only the beginning of their troubles.
What of the supernatural world? Nomadic vampires are passing by, some lingering much too long for their feeding habits not to be soon noticed. Along with a small coven of hybrids, all avoiding their father who has been experimenting on impregnating human girls, have settled here in an attempt to form a normal life, never fitting into one species it seems. But with more dangers lurking around every corner, how long can they really stay out of the radar? It's only a matter of time before someone realizes that they aren't quite right.
The hybrids aren't the only ones who think that Columbus makes a perfect hiding spot however. The children of the moon were once hunted near extinction from the direct orders of Caius Mancini in his fear of what they could accomplish. Two small packs managed to survive over the years, finally cumulating together hoping to intermingle with the humans, repopulating their species while all the while avoiding the ever watchful eye of the Volturi. For the most part, they have steered clear of the shape shifters that inhabit the reservation on the outskirts of town, not sure whether they can put their trust into them. With the trouble that is brewing in the future though, bonds may soon need to be formed if either of them hope to survive what is coming.

WHILE REWRITING THE FUTURE...
[/b][/u]Back in Volterra, however, an uprising has occured that will change the face of history as we know it. Aro's biggest mistake proved to be all too fatal. He left the notorious, and beautifully seductive, Maria under Caius's care after stopping the last attempts at war in the South. She had been granted a pardon along with her sisters and a few soldiers, in agreement to serve a few months in Italy to prove that they weren't going to run off to start another war, all the while Aro hoping he could convince the more powerful ones to join his ranks instead. Maria was much too young in their eyes to be a threat, but once paired with a man just as ruthless as her, the tables were suddenly turned. Marcus, after discovering that Aro had been the one to kill Didyme, gladly helped in the rebellion with Caius, having no problem with the woman who would be ruling along with them. The wives, however, were left in the dark until all was too late.
Caius and Marcus, along with Maria, quickly took over what was the Volturi, along with all the guard who didn't oppose following the new rulers. One thing is for certain though, this is only the beginning of change. Maria's army that survives is none too happy about their new king, nor is his wife pleased at his attention now being on the woman ruling with him who he appears to be falling quickly for, despite her constant rejections. Relationships are being formed, friendships and trust broken, their entire world shaped around lies and misconceptions. The vampire world is being resharpened in rule for the first time since the Romanian's were overturned. Unlike the Romanian take over, most vampires are worried about this new power. They see Caius as power hungry and driven off his own needs alone, while Maria is much too young and feisty too make for a good queen. They are very right though, and neither leaders are settling for just the vampire world. They are going to expose vampires to the human world as well. And what better place to start then America? Columbus to be exact.
All vampires are in an uproar, some knowing what is coming and wondering what this new order will bring. The remains of the Romanian coven see this as a chance back into power while others think its best to appease the new rulers. Secrets from the past are coming to light, and everyone it seems has a few skeletons in their closet. Whatever you are hiding, you better give up hope on because nothing stays hidden for long anymore. No one is safe. Scandals are going around the town in every social class and species it seems. Life in Columbus has never been quite so adventurous not to mention dangerous. The question seems to be not if, but when will tension become too high to bear in this town. What side will you choose?
