sinking_world - Profile (original) (raw)

“In Vienna things get better ev’ry day,
There are wonders too see,
While we waltz the night away.
Viennese perfection fills the details of our lifes.
Where the future reflects and the past always survives.”
*** Count Taafe in “Rudolf – The last kiss”

This roleplaying game takes place in Vienna of 1886/7. The town was still known for it’s coziness, though a slight wind of change was already blowing above it's roof-tops. Some preferred to cling to the “good old time” and they believed that the world, as they knew it would survive forever. Because it had already been good in many years, so why change it? And there were the others, living in the same city, though their world was a world of inventions and ideas. They saw something new coming and they also realized that the ground on which the old systems were built, was as solid as the planks of a sinking ship.

Join us and discover this fascinating sinking world and all the interesting and different kind of people living there. From the monarch of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire to the artists, that were attracted by this decadent place, and the people working in the new-built factories of the outskirts of this growing metropolis.

Wien am Ende – Zeitenwende.
Alle Fragen sind gestellt.

Vienna at it's end - turn of an era.
Every question has been asked.

The Chorus of the Death’s angels in “Elisabeth”

Practical information

The roleplaying will take place at this LJ community. The community is moderated by lapislazuli79 and valancystar. The posts are public, but the community membership must be requested. Either join at the profile page to send a membership request, which will be approved as soon as possible provided there's no clear reason not to approve; or let one of the moderators know you wish to join by commenting in the community or contacting them otherwise. Then you will be sent an invitation. You must have a LiveJournal account to participate, but if you don't have one already, creating one is free.

To see which characters can be played and which ones are already taken:

A complete list of characters who could be played, as well as some information about them. (Note: If you want to play an original character, or a character who is not listed but could convincingly be in Vienna at the time, this is also fine. Just let us know who you are going to play.)

A list of characters who are currently taken, and who plays them. Will be updated whenever someone takes a new character.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. We will post more information when we get things figured out, we are still in the process of setting this up.
